Professional Chimney Maintenance and Creosote Removal

Safeguard your property by removing soot and creosote before they become a fire hazard. You'll decrease chimney temperatures, enhance draft, and ensure combustion byproducts moving safely outdoors. Start with a cool system, proper PPE, and containment to shield interiors. Perform flue brushing with correctly fitted poly or steel rods, operating top-to-bottom to remove all stages of buildup. Clean with a HEPA system to manage fine particulates. Perform creosote testing to detect glazed deposits that need mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clean the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and ensure the cap and spark arrestor are clear. Dispose of debris safely in metal containers. Complete with airflow verification and odor checks to confirm effective removal and consistent draft for reliable operation.

Comprehensive Safety Evaluations and Inspections

Before starting your first fire of the season, arrange a Level I-III inspection that follows NFPA 211 to ensure the proper condition and compliance of your fireplace and chimney setup. The initial Level I assessment reviews standard safety requirements, and Level II includes comprehensive video inspection of reachable zones. Level III is necessary for hidden sections when significant hazards are suspected.

As part of our evaluation, we record the condition of the liner, combustible clearances, and crown and cap and proper termination and draft levels. We perform ventilation testing to confirm proper exhaust and sufficient makeup air. Our safety checklist covers firebox and damper functionality, smoke chamber status, appliance connections, gas log safety, and carbon monoxide pathways. You'll obtain a comprehensive assessment with images and recommendations to correct deficiencies and improve system safety and efficiency.

Professional Chimney Services and Masonry Solutions

Upon discovering damage, wear, or code violations, we swiftly proceed with specialized repairs, liner replacements, and masonry work to reestablish structural stability and safe airflow. We examine spalling brick, cracked crowns, failed mortar joints, and compromised liners, then implement code-compliant solutions. You get professional tuckpointing, crown reconstruction with effective drip edges, and cap fitting to ensure proper ventilation and water drainage.

If your chimney liner is compromised due to cracks, undersizing, or deterioration, we expertly fit stainless steel or ceramic relining systems perfectly sized to match your unit's heat output and chimney height, ensuring optimal draft and reducing creosote buildup. Our team improves smoke chambers with careful parging application to improve draft efficiency. Our masonry services encompass brick replacement, lintel reinforcement and protective stone sealing to block dampness and salt intrusion. All restoration work is fully documented, includes pressure testing where needed, and is fully warrantied.

Fireplace Renovation and Insert Options

Enhance your space with a cleaner, safer, and more efficient hearth with fireplace improvements that meet code requirements, premium-performance inserts, and smart modernization. You'll enhance efficiency, lower environmental impact, and meet current WA codes. We evaluate firebox condition, flue capabilities, and spacing requirements, then suggest optimized inserts matched to your home's heating needs, preferred fuel, and chimney setup. Pellet, direct‑vent gas, or EPA‑certified wood units deliver controlled burning, enhanced thermal efficiency, and dependable ventilation control.

Our team replaces worn dampers with tight‑sealing systems, install insulated stainless liners where necessary, and ensure proper hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With advanced fireplace controls, you can streamline ignition, establish temperature limits, implement remote monitoring, and add safety lockouts. We commission every upgrade with combustion checks and documentation for permits and warranties.

Resolving Draft, Odor, and Smoke Problems

After upgrading inserts and controls, proper system ventilation remains essential. Poor draft, smoke rollout, and odors typically stem 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 address restrictions, remove creosote, and set balanced airflow across the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust components. You'll get optimized combustion air, properly adjusted dampers, and secure gasketing to prevent back-puffing. We correct leaking ash dumps, smoke chamber irregularities, and poorly fitted appliances.

To manage odors, we seal voids, improve seasonal ventilation and recommend dry fuel and proper cures for masonry. In windy zones, we add baffled caps. We'll validate results through smoke testing and CO level verification for complete safety.
