Wet/Green Wood: Wood with more than 20% moisture (common in the PNW!) creates massive creosote buildup almost instantly

Driftwood: Salt from the sound can corrode your stove’s metal and masonry liners.

Treated Lumber: Burning construction scraps releases toxic chemicals like arsenic into your home.

 

Cardboard/Glossy Paper: These can cause “floaters” that drift out of the chimney and onto your roof or cause a sudden flare-up that damages your liner.

Chimney Safety & Home Protection

NFPA 211 Compliance: The National Fire Protection Association recommends an annual chimney inspection and sweep to prevent structural hazards. 

                          

Creosote Mitigation: Removing highly flammable glazed creosote is the #1 way to prevent the 25,000+ chimney fires that occur in the U.S. every year.                             

Carbon Monoxide Safety: Proper venting and flue health are critical to ensuring dangerous combustion gases are directed safely out of your home.

 

Moisture Protection:        A healthy chimney crown and cap are your home’s first line of defense against the Pacific Northwest’s heavy rain and freeze-thaw cycles.

 

Structural Integrity: Identifying early signs of “spalling” or mortar decay through a Level 1 Inspection can save homeowners thousands in future masonry restoration costs.
