Expert Chimney Sweeping and Creosote Removal

Safeguard your home by removing soot and creosote before they become a fire hazard. You will decrease chimney temperatures, improve draft, and keep combustion byproducts venting safely outdoors. Start with a cool system, appropriate PPE, and containment to protect interiors. Conduct flue brushing with properly dimensioned poly or steel rods, working top-to-bottom to remove all stages of buildup. Vacuum with a HEPA system to manage fine particulates. Conduct creosote testing to locate glazed deposits that demand mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clean the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and verify the cap and spark arrestor are unobstructed. Remove debris safely in metal containers. Complete with airflow verification and odor checks to validate effective removal and stable draft for reliable operation.

Detailed Inspections and Safety Assessments

Before using your fireplace this season, book a thorough inspection based on NFPA 211 to verify the safety and code compliance of your chimney and fireplace system. Level I examines standard safety requirements, whereas Level II adds comprehensive video inspection of reachable zones. The most thorough Level III inspection investigates concealed areas when major safety concerns arise.

Throughout our inspection, we examine the integrity of the liner, crown and cap status, and clearances to combustibles and draft performance and termination heights. We conduct ventilation testing to ensure proper exhaust and sufficient makeup air. Our inspection includes the condition of the damper, firebox, and smoke chamber, connection points, gas log installation safety, and carbon monoxide routes. You'll receive a prioritized report, photos, and recommendations to enhance system performance and address safety concerns.

Professional Chimney Services and Masonry Solutions

When damage, deterioration, or code issues arise, we promptly execute specialized repairs, liner replacements, and masonry work to restore structural integrity and safe draft. We evaluate deteriorating masonry, damaged crowns, failing mortar, and defective liners, then implement code-compliant solutions. You receive expert tuckpointing, crown restoration with appropriate drip edges, and cap placement to ensure proper ventilation and water drainage.

For damaged liners through fractures, inadequate sizing, or corrosion, our team implements high-quality stainless or ceramic liner solutions specifically dimensioned for your unit's heat output and chimney height, optimizing ventilation and decreasing creosote buildup. We enhance smoke chambers through professional parging to improve draft efficiency. Our masonry services encompass brick replacement, lintel reinforcement and waterproofing stone against dampness and salt intrusion. All restoration work is fully documented, pressure-tested when necessary, and is fully warrantied.

Fireplace Upgrades, Inserts, and Modernization

Transform to a cleaner, safer, and more efficient hearth with code‑compliant fireplace upgrades, premium-performance inserts, and intelligent updates. You'll boost performance, reduce emissions, and satisfy WA codes. We evaluate fireplace condition, flue capabilities, and clearances, then recommend energy efficient inserts tailored to your home's heating needs, preferred fuel, and chimney setup. Pellet, direct‑vent gas, or EPA‑certified wood units offer airtight operation, better heat distribution, and reliable draft control.

Our team replaces worn dampers with high-performance sealing mechanisms, incorporate insulated stainless liners as needed, and ensure proper hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With smart fireplace controls, you can control ignition, set temperature limits, integrate remote monitoring, and add safety lockouts. We complete every upgrade with thorough testing and paperwork for permits and warranties.

Solving Draft, Smoke, and Odor Concerns

After upgrading inserts and controls, you still need the system to breathe correctly. Draft issues, smoke problems, and unpleasant odors usually trace to pressure issues, flue blockages, or poor damper and here cap setup. Our team evaluates stack effect, uses manometers for draft measurement, and confirms cross-sectional dimensions, along with liner condition and proper termination elevation.

We resolve 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 eliminate smoke spillage. We address ash dump problems, smoke chamber alignment issues, and improperly fitted hearth units.

For odor control, we seal voids, improve seasonal ventilation and require proper fuel selection and masonry treatment. For areas with high winds, we incorporate specialized baffled caps. We confirm effectiveness through smoke testing and CO level verification for complete safety.
