Comprehensive Chimney Cleaning and Creosote Cleaning
Safeguard your property by removing soot and creosote before they become a fire hazard. You will decrease chimney temperatures, optimize draft, and maintain combustion byproducts flowing safely outdoors. Initialize with a cool system, appropriate PPE, and containment to shield interiors. Perform flue brushing with properly dimensioned poly or steel rods, proceeding top-to-bottom to remove all stages of buildup. Vacuum with a HEPA system to contain fine particulates. Carry out creosote testing to detect glazed deposits that require mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Remove debris from the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and ensure the cap and spark arrestor are clear. Dispose of debris safely in metal containers. Conclude with airflow verification and odor checks to confirm effective removal and stable draft for reliable operation.
Thorough Safety Inspections and Evaluations
Before starting your first fire of the season, schedule a Level I-III inspection that follows NFPA 211 to ensure the proper condition and compliance of your heating system. The initial Level I assessment reviews clearances and general condition, whereas Level II adds comprehensive video inspection of reachable zones. A Level III assessment examines hidden sections when significant hazards are suspected.
As part of our evaluation, we examine the condition of the liner, combustible clearances, and crown and cap and draft performance and termination heights. We perform ventilation testing to confirm adequate makeup air and proper exhaust. Our inspection includes firebox and damper functionality, smoke chamber status, connection points, gas log installation safety, and carbon monoxide routes. You'll obtain a detailed report with photos and suggested improvements to enhance system performance and address safety concerns.
Expert Chimney Maintenance and Masonry Work

We examine crumbling brick, crown damage, mortar deterioration, and liner issues, then execute repairs meeting all codes. We provide professional tuckpointing, crown reconstruction with effective drip edges, and cap fitting to ensure proper ventilation and water drainage.
For damaged liners due to cracks, undersizing, or deterioration, we expertly fit stainless steel or ceramic relining systems specifically dimensioned for the BTU rating and elevation of your unit, optimizing ventilation and decreasing creosote buildup. We enhance smoke chambers using specialized parging techniques to achieve smoother flow. Our masonry services encompass brick repairs, lintel strengthening and protective stone sealing to block dampness and salt intrusion. All restoration work is fully documented, undergoes pressure testing as required, and comes with a comprehensive warranty.
Fireplace Upgrades, Inserts, and Modernization
Transform to a more efficient, safer, and cleaner hearth with fireplace improvements that meet code requirements, energy-efficient inserts, and contemporary improvements. You'll enhance efficiency, decrease pollutants, and comply with WA codes. We examine hearth integrity, flue capabilities, and safety distances, then recommend high-performance inserts tailored to your home's load, fuel type, and venting path. Pellet, direct‑vent gas, or EPA‑certified wood units offer controlled burning, better heat distribution, and dependable ventilation control.
Our team replaces worn dampers with high-performance sealing mechanisms, incorporate insulated stainless liners when required, and ensure proper hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With intelligent fireplace controls, you can automate ignition, set temperature limits, integrate remote monitoring, and add safety lockouts. We finalize every upgrade with combustion checks and documentation for permits and warranties.
Addressing Smoke, Draft, and Odor Issues
After upgrading inserts and controls, you still need the system to breathe correctly. Inadequate draft, smoke spillage, and unwanted smells typically stem from negative pressure, blocked flues, or incorrect damper and cap geometry. We assess stack effect, check draft levels using manometers, and examine cross-sectional measurements, flue liner integrity, and chimney height.
We resolve blockages, clean creosote buildup, and adjust airflow balancing between the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust. You'll get precisely tuned air flow, balanced dampers, and proper sealing to stop smoke backdrafts. We address leaking ash dumps, smoke chamber irregularities, and poorly fitted appliances.
To manage odors, we focus on void sealing and ventilation enhancement and recommend dry fuel and proper cures for masonry. For areas with high winds, we incorporate specialized baffled caps. We'll validate results through smoke testing and CO level verification for complete safety.
