Professional Chimney Maintenance and Creosote Cleaning

Secure your home by removing soot and creosote before they develop into a fire hazard. You will reduce chimney temperatures, enhance draft, and keep combustion byproducts venting safely outdoors. Initialize with a cool system, proper PPE, and containment to safeguard interiors. Execute flue brushing with appropriately sized poly or steel rods, working top-to-bottom to remove all stages of buildup. Clean with a HEPA system to contain fine particulates. Perform creosote testing to detect glazed deposits that need mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clear the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and ensure the cap and spark arrestor are free of debris. Discard debris safely in metal containers. Complete with airflow verification and odor checks to confirm effective removal and stable draft for reliable operation.

Thorough Safety Inspections and Evaluations

Prior to lighting your first seasonal fire, arrange a comprehensive inspection according to NFPA 211 to ensure the proper condition and compliance of your heating system. Level I examines basic conditions and clearances, and Level II incorporates video scanning of flues and accessible areas. The most thorough Level III inspection investigates hard-to-reach spaces when serious issues are identified.

Throughout our inspection, we examine the integrity of the liner, crown and cap status, and clearances to combustibles and termination heights, and draft performance. We conduct ventilation testing to ensure adequate makeup air and proper exhaust. Our inspection includes damper operation, firebox and smoke chamber condition, appliance connections, gas log safety, and carbon monoxide pathways. You'll get a detailed report with photos and suggested improvements to optimize system efficiency and resolve safety issues.

Professional Chimney Services and Masonry Solutions

When structural problems, deterioration, or code concerns emerge, we quickly implement targeted chimney repairs, relining, and masonry restoration that ensure structural soundness and proper ventilation. We evaluate deteriorating masonry, damaged crowns, failing mortar, and defective liners, then implement code-compliant solutions. We provide precise tuckpointing, crown rebuilding with proper drip edges, and cap installations to ensure proper ventilation and water drainage.

If your chimney liner is compromised due to cracks, undersizing, or deterioration, we professionally install stainless steel or ceramic relining systems specifically dimensioned for the BTU rating and elevation of your unit, maximizing airflow while minimizing creosote buildup. We optimize smoke chamber performance using specialized parging techniques to improve draft efficiency. Our masonry restoration includes brick replacement, lintel reinforcement and protective stone sealing to block dampness and salt intrusion. All restoration work is fully documented, pressure-tested when necessary, and comes with a comprehensive warranty.

Fireplace Renovation and Insert Options

Enhance your space with a more efficient, safer, and cleaner hearth with code‑compliant fireplace upgrades, premium-performance inserts, and smart modernization. You'll enhance efficiency, decrease pollutants, and meet current WA codes. We examine firebox condition, ventilation capacity, and safety distances, then propose high-performance inserts matched to your home's requirements, energy source, and ventilation system. Direct‑vent gas, EPA‑certified wood, or pellet inserts offer airtight operation, better heat distribution, and dependable ventilation control.

Addressing Smoke, Draft, and Odor Issues

Following the upgrade of inserts and controls, proper system ventilation remains essential. Draft issues, smoke problems, and unpleasant odors commonly result from improper pressure, clogged flues, or misaligned damper and cap configurations. Our team evaluates stack effect, uses manometers for draft measurement, and confirms cross-sectional dimensions, flue liner integrity, and chimney height.

We fix blockages, clean creosote buildup, and adjust proper air circulation between your firebox, fresh air intake, and exhaust system. You'll receive tuned combustion air, calibrated dampers, and tight gasketing to prevent back-puffing. We repair ash dump leaks, smoke chamber offsets, and misfit hearth appliances.
