Comprehensive Chimney Sweeping and Creosote Elimination
Secure your property by removing soot and creosote before they turn into a fire hazard. You will lower chimney temperatures, enhance draft, and keep combustion byproducts moving safely outdoors. Start with a cool system, suitable PPE, and containment to protect interiors. Perform flue brushing with appropriately sized poly or steel rods, working top-to-bottom to remove all stages of buildup. Vacuum with a HEPA system to contain fine particulates. Carry out creosote testing to identify glazed deposits that need mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Remove debris from the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and ensure the cap and spark arrestor are unobstructed. Remove debris safely in metal containers. Finish with airflow verification and odor checks to confirm effective removal and stable draft for dependable operation.
Detailed Inspections and Safety Assessments
Prior to lighting your first seasonal fire, schedule a thorough inspection based on NFPA 211 to verify the safety and code compliance of your fireplace and chimney setup. A Level I inspection checks clearances and general condition, and Level II incorporates comprehensive video inspection of reachable zones. The most thorough Level III inspection investigates concealed areas when major safety concerns arise.
During your assessment, we examine the integrity of the liner, crown and cap status, and clearances to combustibles and proper termination and draft levels. We run ventilation testing to verify adequate makeup air and proper exhaust. Our comprehensive review examines damper operation, firebox and smoke chamber condition, connection points, gas log installation safety, and carbon monoxide routes. You'll get a prioritized report, photos, and recommendations 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 specialized repairs, liner replacements, and masonry work that ensure structural soundness and proper ventilation. We assess crumbling fireplace & chimney services WA brick, crown damage, mortar deterioration, and liner issues, then implement code-compliant solutions. You receive precise tuckpointing, crown rebuilding with proper drip edges, and cap installations that protect flue ventilation and shed water.
When your liner shows signs of damage 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. We optimize smoke chamber performance with careful parging application to improve draft efficiency. Our masonry services encompass replacing damaged bricks, stabilizing lintels and waterproofing stone against moisture and salt infiltration.

Pellet, direct‑vent gas, or EPA‑certified wood units offer controlled burning, better heat distribution, and reliable draft control.
We replace worn dampers with high-performance sealing mechanisms, incorporate insulated stainless liners as needed, and verify hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement.

We complete every upgrade with comprehensive inspections and necessary records for permits and warranties.
Resolving Draft, Odor, and Smoke Problems
After upgrading inserts and controls, you still need the system to breathe correctly. Draft issues, smoke problems, and unpleasant odors commonly result from pressure issues, flue blockages, or poor damper and cap setup. Our team evaluates stack effect, uses manometers for draft measurement, and confirms cross-sectional dimensions, liner continuity, and termination height.
We fix blockages, clean creosote buildup, and adjust airflow balancing between the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust. You'll receive tuned combustion air, calibrated dampers, and tight gasketing to eliminate smoke spillage. We address ash dump leaks, smoke chamber offsets, and misfit hearth appliances.
To manage odors, we focus on void sealing and ventilation enhancement and require appropriate fuel types and masonry curing. For areas with high winds, we incorporate specialized baffled caps. We verify our work using safety protocols including smoke testing and carbon monoxide monitoring.
