Quality Fireplace Repair

We Offer the Following Fireplace Repair Services in the State of Washington:

Chimney Cleaning

A buildup of creosote, soot, or debris in the chimney can restrict airflow and increase the risk of chimney fires. Do professional chimney crown flashing repair at least once a year to remove buildup.

Dampers

The damper controls airflow in the chimney by regulating the draft and temperature of the fire. Damper mechanisms can become rusted, warped, or stuck over time, requiring repair or replacement.

Firebox

The firebox can get damaged due to heat exposure or moisture infiltration. Common firebox repairs include patching cracks or holes, replacing damaged firebrick or refractory panels, and repairing mortar joints.

How to Remove Fire Smoke Stains

Step 1: Remove Loose Debris

Use a soft-bristled brush or vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment to gently remove any loose debris, ash, or soot from the surface of the fireplace. Be careful not to scratch or damage the surface while cleaning.

Step 2: Prepare Cleaning Solution

Mix a cleaning solution using warm water and a mild detergent or fireplace cleaner. You can also use a commercial fireplace cleaner specifically formulated for removing soot and stains from fireplace surfaces. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for dilution ratios and application methods.

Step 3: Test an Inconspicuous Area

Before applying the cleaning solution to the entire fireplace, test it in a small, inconspicuous area to ensure that it does not cause any damage or discoloration to the surface. Wait for the test spot to dry completely before proceeding.

Step 4: Apply Cleaning Solution

Before applying the cleaning solution to the entire fireplace, test it in a small, inconspicuous area to ensure that it does not cause any damage or discoloration to the surface. Wait for the test spot to dry completely before proceeding.

Step 5: Scrub the Stains

Gently scrub the stained areas of the fireplace with a brush or scrubbing pad, using circular motions to lift and remove the soot and debris. Avoid applying too much pressure, as this can damage the surface of the fireplace.

Step 6: Rinse Thoroughly

After scrubbing, rinse the fireplace surface thoroughly with clean water to remove any remaining cleaning solution and residue. Use a sponge or cloth dampened with water to wipe down the surface and remove any soap or detergent residue.

Which is right for you?

Wood Burning

 

Traditional Ambience

Wood burning fireplaces offer a classic look with the sounds and aroma of burning wood. They create a cozy and nostalgic atmosphere, ideal for traditional home settings or those seeking an authentic fireplace experience.

Heating Efficiency

Wood burning fireplaces are effective for heating large spaces or rooms. However, their heating efficiency can vary depending on factors such as fireplace size, wood quality, and insulation.

Maintenance

Wood burning fireplaces require regular maintenance, including cleaning ash and soot buildup, chimney sweeping, and inspection for creosote buildup and chimney obstructions. 

Environmental Impact

Wood burning fireplaces emit particulate matter and pollutants into the air, contributing to air quality issues and environmental concerns. Burning seasoned hardwoods and using EPA-certified wood stoves or inserts can help minimize emissions and improve efficiency.

 

Electric Fireplaces

 

Convenience

Electric fireplaces offer convenience and ease of use, with simple plug-and-play installation and operation. They can be installed in various locations without the need for a chimney or venting, making them suitable for apartments, condos, or rooms without existing fireplaces.

Energy Efficiency

Electric fireplaces are energy efficient and cost-effective to operate, as they use electricity to generate heat and produce flames using LED lights or holographic technology. They allow for precise temperature control and can be used for supplemental heating without the need for ventilation.

Safety

Electric fireplaces are generally safer than wood burning fireplaces, as they do not produce open flames, sparks, or embers. They remain cool to the touch, reducing the risk of burns or fire hazards making them suitable for households with children or pets.

Versatility

Electric fireplaces come in a variety of styles, sizes, and designs to match different décor preferences and space requirements. They can feature realistic flame effects, adjustable brightness, and flame speed settings for a customized ambiance.

Heating Efficiency

Maintenance

Wood burning fireplaces require regular maintenance, including cleaning ash and soot buildup, chimney sweeping, and inspection for creosote buildup and chimney obstructions. Proper maintenance is essential for safe and efficient operation.

Environmental Impact

Wood burning fireplaces emit particulate matter and pollutants into the air, contributing to air quality issues and environmental concerns. Burning seasoned hardwoods and using EPA-certified wood stoves or inserts can help minimize emissions and improve efficiency.
