Complete Chimney Cleaning and Creosote Cleaning
Safeguard your residence by clearing soot and creosote before they turn into a fire hazard. You'll reduce chimney temperatures, optimize draft, and maintain combustion byproducts flowing safely outdoors. Initialize with a cool system, proper PPE, and containment to safeguard interiors. Perform flue brushing with correctly fitted poly or steel rods, working top-to-bottom to remove all stages of buildup. Vacuum with a HEPA system to contain fine particulates. Conduct creosote testing to detect glazed deposits that require mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clean the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and verify the cap and spark arrestor are clear. Discard debris safely in metal containers. Conclude with airflow verification and odor checks to confirm effective removal and stable draft for reliable operation.
In-Depth Safety Checks and Assessments
Prior to lighting your first seasonal fire, schedule a thorough inspection based on NFPA 211 to verify the proper condition and compliance of your chimney and fireplace system. The initial Level I assessment reviews basic conditions and clearances, whereas Level II incorporates detailed video examination of accessible spaces and flues. Level III is necessary for hard-to-reach spaces when serious issues are identified.
Throughout our inspection, we examine the condition of the liner, combustible clearances, and crown and cap and termination heights, and draft performance. We conduct ventilation testing to confirm proper exhaust and sufficient makeup air. Our inspection includes damper operation, firebox and smoke chamber condition, appliance connections, gas log safety, and carbon monoxide pathways. You'll receive a comprehensive assessment with images and recommendations to optimize system efficiency and resolve safety issues.
Professional Chimney Services and Masonry Solutions
Upon discovering damage, wear, or code violations, we swiftly proceed with targeted chimney repairs, relining, and masonry restoration that ensure structural soundness and proper ventilation. We assess crumbling brick, crown damage, mortar deterioration, and liner issues, then implement code-compliant solutions. We provide 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, we expertly fit stainless steel or ceramic relining systems perfectly sized to match the BTU rating and elevation of your unit, maximizing airflow while minimizing creosote buildup. We enhance smoke chambers through professional parging to improve draft efficiency. We provide comprehensive masonry work including brick replacement, lintel reinforcement and stone sealing to prevent moisture and salt infiltration. All restoration work is fully documented, includes pressure testing where needed, and comes with a comprehensive warranty.
Fireplace Upgrades, Inserts, and Modernization
Upgrade to a more efficient, safer, and cleaner hearth with code‑compliant fireplace upgrades, energy-efficient inserts, and contemporary improvements. You'll boost performance, reduce emissions, and comply with WA codes. We assess fireplace condition, flue capabilities, and safety distances, then propose high-performance inserts matched to your home's heating needs, preferred fuel, and chimney setup. EPA‑approved wood, direct‑vent gas, or pellet systems offer controlled burning, better heat distribution, and consistent airflow management.
We replace worn dampers with tight‑sealing systems, add insulated stainless liners when required, and confirm hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With advanced fireplace controls, you can streamline ignition, set temperature limits, implement remote monitoring, and incorporate safety lockouts.

Solving Draft, Odor, and Smoke Problems
Once inserts and controls have been upgraded, proper system ventilation remains essential. Draft issues, smoke problems, and unpleasant odors usually trace to pressure issues, flue blockages, or poor damper and cap setup. We diagnose stack effect, measure draft with a manometer, and verify cross-sectional area, along with liner condition and proper termination elevation.
We address obstructions, clear creosote deposits, and optimize balanced airflow across the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust components. You'll get tuned combustion air, calibrated dampers, and tight gasketing to stop smoke backdrafts. We address ash dump leaks, smoke chamber offsets, and misfit hearth appliances.
For odor control, we focus on void sealing and ventilation enhancement and specify dry fuel and proper cures for masonry. In windy zones, we install wind-baffling caps. We confirm effectiveness through smoke testing and CO level verification for complete safety.
