Comprehensive Chimney Sweeping and Creosote Cleaning
Protect your home by clearing soot and creosote before they become a fire hazard. You will reduce chimney temperatures, enhance draft, and ensure combustion byproducts flowing safely outdoors. Begin with a cool system, suitable PPE, and containment to shield interiors. Perform flue brushing with properly dimensioned poly or steel rods, operating top-to-bottom to remove all stages of buildup. Clean with a HEPA system to manage fine particulates. Carry out creosote testing to locate glazed deposits that demand mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clean the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and confirm the cap and spark arrestor are free of debris. Discard debris safely in metal containers. Conclude with airflow verification and odor checks to confirm effective removal and reliable draft for reliable operation.
Comprehensive Safety Evaluations and Inspections
Prior to lighting your first seasonal fire, arrange a thorough inspection based on NFPA 211 to verify that your chimney and fireplace meet your fireplace and chimney setup. A Level I inspection checks basic conditions and clearances, and Level II incorporates comprehensive video inspection of reachable zones. The most thorough Level III inspection investigates concealed areas when major safety concerns arise.
As part of our evaluation, we document the integrity of the liner, crown and cap status, and clearances to combustibles and proper termination and draft levels. We conduct ventilation testing to confirm appropriate air supply and exhaust function. Our safety checklist covers damper operation, firebox and smoke chamber condition, gas log safety, appliance connections, and CO pathways. You'll receive a detailed report with photos and suggested improvements to enhance system performance and address safety concerns.
Expert Chimney Maintenance and Masonry Work
When damage, deterioration, or code issues arise, we swiftly proceed with targeted chimney repairs, relining, and masonry restoration that ensure structural soundness and proper ventilation. We evaluate deteriorating masonry, damaged crowns, failing mortar, and defective liners, before applying code-approved repairs. You receive 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 durable stainless or ceramic relining options perfectly sized to match the BTU rating and elevation of your unit, maximizing airflow while minimizing creosote buildup. Our team improves smoke chambers through professional parging to improve draft efficiency. Our masonry restoration includes brick replacement, lintel reinforcement and stone sealing to prevent dampness and salt intrusion. We maintain detailed records of all repairs, includes pressure testing where needed, and includes warranty coverage.
Fireplace Renovation and Insert Options
Upgrade to a more efficient, safer, and cleaner hearth with regulation-compliant hearth modifications, energy-efficient inserts, and intelligent updates. You'll improve operation, lower environmental impact, and meet current WA codes. We assess firebox condition, ventilation capacity, and safety distances, then recommend high-performance inserts tailored to your home's requirements, energy source, and ventilation system. Pellet, direct‑vent gas, or EPA‑certified wood units provide sealed combustion, better heat distribution, and dependable ventilation control.
We install new worn dampers with premium sealing solutions, incorporate insulated stainless liners when required, and verify hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement.

We commission every upgrade with comprehensive inspections and documentation for permits and warranties.
Addressing Problems with Draft, Odor, and Smoke
Once inserts and controls have been upgraded, ensuring proper system airflow is crucial. Inadequate draft, smoke spillage, and unwanted smells commonly result from negative pressure, blocked flues, or incorrect damper and cap geometry. 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 obstructions, clear creosote deposits, and optimize proper air circulation between your firebox, fresh air intake, and exhaust system. You'll get tuned combustion air, calibrated dampers, and tight gasketing to prevent back-puffing. We address ash dump leaks, smoke chamber offsets, and misfit hearth appliances.
For odor control, we seal voids, improve seasonal ventilation and require appropriate fuel types and masonry curing. In locations with strong winds, we incorporate specialized baffled caps. We'll validate results through smoke testing and CO level verification for complete safety.
