What we do
Twelve services from one crew: sweeping and creosote removal, inspection, relining, brick and crown repair, caps, flashing, waterproofing, gas fireplace service, dryer vents and air ducts.
Your chimney is one connected system — the liner, masonry, crown, cap and flashing all work together to carry smoke out and keep water and weather from getting in. When one part fails, the rest follows. That's why we cover every service your chimney needs under one roof, so you're never handed off between contractors halfway through a job.
Each service on this page can be booked in any of our ten neighborhoods, and each one begins with the same visit: a technician looks at the chimney, photographs it and writes down each item it needs with its price. You decide after reading the quote. Choose a service below, or start with the $99 inspection if you do not know yet which one applies.
Cleaning & inspection
The annual maintenance that prevents chimney fires and carbon-monoxide problems — and catches small issues with the liner, crown or cap before they turn into expensive repairs.
Chimney sweeping in South Seattle: we scrub the soot and loose creosote off your flue walls, then hand you pictures of the bare liner so the last season's residue is no longer a guess.

Creosote removal in South Seattle goes after the hard, glassy creosote that a brush cannot shift, first softening it with a chemical treatment and then lifting it with rotary tools.

Chimney inspection in South Seattle means a written checklist for flue, liner, crown, cap and flashing, a photograph attached to each finding, and a clear picture before the next fire is lit.
Learn moreRepair, relining & masonry
From a failed flue liner to spalling brick, a cracked crown or leaking flashing — the structural and code work that keeps your chimney sound and watertight through the freeze-thaw season.
Chimney relining in South Seattle slides one continuous stainless steel liner into a flue whose clay tiles have split, or whose size no longer matches the appliance venting through it.

Chimney flashing repair in South Seattle reseals or renews the sheet metal tying the chimney into the roof, which is where most leaks beside a chimney actually begin.
Learn more
Waterproofing a chimney in South Seattle: once repairs are done, a breathable repellent goes onto the brick and mortar, so rain beads up outside while moisture in the wall can still escape.
Learn moreFireplaces & venting
Gas fireplace service plus the venting work that keeps your home's air moving safely — often handled by the same local crew on the same visit.
