Professional Chimney Cleaning and Creosote Elimination
Protect your property by clearing soot and creosote before they turn into a fire hazard. You'll lower chimney temperatures, enhance draft, and maintain combustion byproducts moving safely outdoors. Start with a cool system, appropriate PPE, and containment to shield interiors. Conduct flue brushing with correctly fitted poly or steel rods, working top-to-bottom to dislodge all stages of buildup. Vacuum with a HEPA system to contain fine particulates. Perform creosote testing to identify 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 unobstructed. Dispose of debris safely in metal containers. Complete with airflow verification and odor checks to confirm effective removal and reliable draft for safe operation.
Thorough Safety Inspections and Evaluations
Before using your fireplace this season, schedule a thorough inspection based on NFPA 211 to confirm that your chimney and fireplace meet your heating system. Level I examines clearances and general condition, whereas 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 record the integrity of the liner, crown and cap status, and clearances to combustibles and termination heights, and draft performance. We run ventilation testing to confirm appropriate air supply and exhaust function. Our safety checklist covers firebox and damper functionality, smoke chamber status, appliance connections, gas log safety, and carbon monoxide pathways. You'll receive a detailed report with photos and suggested improvements to optimize system efficiency and resolve safety issues.
Chimney Repairs, Relining, and Masonry Restoration
When damage, deterioration, or code issues arise, we promptly execute specialized repairs, liner replacements, and masonry work that ensure structural soundness and proper ventilation. We assess deteriorating masonry, damaged crowns, failing mortar, and defective liners, then execute repairs meeting all codes. You receive precise tuckpointing, crown rebuilding with proper drip edges, and cap installations that maintain proper airflow and water protection.
For damaged liners through fractures, inadequate sizing, or corrosion, we expertly fit stainless steel or ceramic relining systems perfectly sized to match the BTU rating and elevation of your unit, optimizing ventilation and decreasing creosote buildup. We enhance smoke chambers through professional parging to achieve smoother flow. Our masonry services encompass brick replacement, lintel reinforcement and waterproofing stone against moisture and salt infiltration. Every repair is thoroughly documented, undergoes pressure testing as required, and comes with a comprehensive warranty.
Fireplace Upgrades, Inserts, and Modernization
Transition to a safer, cleaner, and more efficient hearth with fireplace improvements that meet code requirements, energy-efficient inserts, and smart modernization. You'll boost performance, decrease pollutants, and satisfy WA codes.

Direct‑vent gas, EPA‑certified wood, or pellet inserts deliver sealed combustion, enhanced thermal efficiency, and reliable draft control.
We replace worn dampers with premium sealing solutions, incorporate insulated stainless liners as needed, and ensure proper hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With intelligent fireplace controls, you can automate ignition, establish temperature limits, set up remote monitoring, and add safety lockouts. We commission every upgrade with comprehensive inspections and documentation for permits and warranties.
Addressing Draft, Odor, and Smoke Problems
After upgrading inserts and controls, ensuring proper system airflow is crucial. Draft issues, smoke problems, and unpleasant odors usually trace to pressure issues, flue blockages, or poor damper and cap setup. We diagnose stack effect, measure draft with a manometer, and verify cross-sectional area, flue liner integrity, and chimney height.
We resolve 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 stop smoke backdrafts. We repair ash dump problems, smoke chamber alignment issues, and improperly fitted hearth units.
To control unwanted smells, we focus on void sealing and ventilation enhancement and require proper fuel selection and masonry treatment. For areas with high winds, we add baffled caps. We verify our work with smoke tests and CO monitoring for safety.
