Conduct creosote testing to identify glazed deposits that need mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clean the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and verify the cap and spark arrestor are free of debris. Remove debris safely in metal containers.

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 heating system. The initial Level I assessment reviews basic conditions and clearances, while Level II adds comprehensive video inspection of reachable zones. A Level III assessment examines concealed areas when major safety concerns arise.
Throughout our inspection, we document the integrity of the liner, crown and cap status, and clearances to combustibles and draft performance and termination heights. We perform ventilation testing to confirm proper exhaust and sufficient makeup air. Our safety checklist covers the condition of the damper, firebox, and smoke chamber, appliance connections, gas log safety, and carbon monoxide pathways. You'll get a comprehensive assessment with images and recommendations to enhance system performance and address safety concerns.
Chimney Repairs, Relining, and Masonry Restoration
Upon discovering damage, wear, or code violations, we swiftly proceed with focused chimney rehabilitation, relining, and masonry fixes to restore structural integrity and safe draft. We assess spalling brick, cracked crowns, failed mortar joints, and compromised liners, then implement code-compliant solutions. We provide precise tuckpointing, crown rebuilding with proper drip edges, and cap installations to ensure proper ventilation and water drainage.
When your liner shows signs of damage from breaks, improper dimensions, or rust, we expertly fit high-quality stainless or ceramic liner solutions custom-fitted to the BTU rating and elevation of your unit, maximizing airflow while minimizing creosote buildup. We optimize smoke chamber performance with careful parging application to achieve smoother flow. Our masonry services encompass brick replacement, lintel reinforcement and protective stone sealing to block water and salt damage. We maintain detailed records of all repairs, undergoes pressure testing as required, and is fully warrantied.
Fireplace Upgrades, Inserts, and Modernization
Enhance your space with a more efficient, safer, and cleaner hearth with fireplace improvements that meet code requirements, premium-performance inserts, and smart modernization. You'll enhance efficiency, lower environmental impact, and comply with WA codes. We examine hearth integrity, chimney capacity, and safety distances, then recommend energy efficient inserts matched to your home's load, fuel type, and venting path. EPA‑approved wood, direct‑vent gas, or pellet systems deliver controlled burning, better heat distribution, and consistent airflow management.
Our team replaces worn dampers with tight‑sealing systems, incorporate insulated stainless liners as needed, and confirm hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With advanced fireplace controls, you can control ignition, establish temperature limits, implement remote monitoring, and incorporate safety lockouts. We commission every upgrade with thorough testing and documentation for permits and warranties.
Solving Draft, Smoke, and Odor Concerns
Following the upgrade of inserts and controls, you still need the system to breathe correctly. Poor draft, smoke rollout, and odors 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, along with liner condition and proper termination elevation.
We address obstructions, clear creosote deposits, and optimize airflow balancing between the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust. You'll receive tuned combustion air, calibrated dampers, and tight gasketing to stop smoke backdrafts. We address leaking ash dumps, smoke chamber irregularities, and poorly fitted appliances.
To manage odors, we seal voids, improve seasonal ventilation and require appropriate fuel types and masonry curing. In windy zones, we incorporate specialized baffled caps. We verify our work with smoke tests and CO monitoring for safety.
