Comprehensive Chimney Maintenance and Creosote Cleaning
Secure your residence by clearing soot and creosote before they turn into a fire hazard. You'll lower chimney temperatures, enhance draft, and ensure combustion byproducts venting safely outdoors. Initialize with a cool system, suitable PPE, and containment to protect interiors. Execute flue brushing with properly dimensioned poly or steel rods, working top-to-bottom to remove all stages of buildup. Clean with a HEPA system to manage fine particulates. Perform creosote testing to identify glazed deposits that demand mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clear the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and ensure the cap and spark arrestor are clear. Remove debris safely in metal containers. Finish with airflow verification and odor checks to verify effective removal and consistent draft for safe operation.
In-Depth Safety Checks and Assessments
Before using your fireplace this season, book a thorough inspection based on NFPA 211 to ensure the safety and code compliance of your fireplace and chimney setup. A Level I inspection checks standard safety requirements, while Level II adds detailed video examination of accessible spaces and flues. A Level III assessment examines hard-to-reach spaces when serious issues are identified.
Throughout our inspection, we document the condition of the liner, combustible clearances, and crown and cap and termination heights, and draft performance. We conduct ventilation testing to verify proper exhaust and sufficient makeup air. Our safety checklist covers firebox and damper functionality, smoke chamber status, connection points, gas log installation safety, and carbon monoxide routes. You'll obtain a prioritized report, photos, and recommendations to correct deficiencies and improve system safety and efficiency.
Expert Chimney Maintenance and Masonry Work
When damage, deterioration, or code issues arise, we quickly implement specialized repairs, liner replacements, and masonry work to reestablish structural stability and safe airflow. We evaluate deteriorating masonry, damaged crowns, failing mortar, and defective liners, then implement code-compliant solutions. We provide expert tuckpointing, crown restoration with appropriate drip edges, and cap placement that protect flue ventilation and shed water.
For damaged liners from breaks, improper dimensions, or rust, we professionally install durable stainless or ceramic relining options specifically dimensioned for the BTU rating and elevation of your unit, optimizing ventilation and decreasing creosote buildup. Our team improves smoke chambers with careful parging application to achieve smoother flow. Our masonry restoration includes brick repairs, lintel strengthening and waterproofing stone against dampness and salt intrusion. Every repair is thoroughly documented, undergoes pressure testing as required, and includes warranty coverage.
Modern Fireplace Solutions and Upgrades
Transition to a more efficient, safer, and cleaner hearth with fireplace improvements that meet code requirements, high‑efficiency inserts, and smart modernization. You'll improve operation, decrease pollutants, and satisfy WA codes.

Pellet, direct‑vent gas, or EPA‑certified wood units provide airtight operation, improved heat transfer, and consistent airflow management.
Our team replaces worn dampers with premium sealing solutions, incorporate insulated stainless liners where necessary, and ensure proper hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With smart fireplace controls, you can automate ignition, establish temperature limits, integrate remote monitoring, and incorporate safety lockouts. We commission every upgrade with comprehensive inspections and necessary records for permits and warranties.
Resolving Draft, Smoke, and Odor Concerns
Following the upgrade of inserts and controls, proper system ventilation remains essential. Draft issues, smoke problems, and unpleasant odors commonly result from pressure issues, flue blockages, or poor damper and cap setup. We assess stack effect, check draft levels using manometers, and examine cross-sectional measurements, 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 receive optimized combustion air, properly adjusted dampers, and secure gasketing to stop smoke backdrafts. We address leaking ash dumps, smoke chamber irregularities, and poorly fitted appliances.
For odor control, we focus on void sealing and ventilation enhancement and specify dry fuel and proper cures for masonry. For areas with high winds, we add baffled caps. We verify our work with smoke tests and CO monitoring for safety.
