A thorough sweep removes the creosote and soot that cause chimney fires, restores draft, and lets you burn safely through Seattle’s long heating season. You get a fixed quote before we arrive and a summary of what we found when we leave.
Seattle firewood is often stored outdoors and burned before it is fully dry. Damp wood burns cool and leaves more creosote in the flue, so Seattle chimneys tend to need cleaning after fewer fires than the national rule of thumb suggests.
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA 211) recommends an annual inspection and a sweep whenever buildup is found. For households that burn several nights a week from October to March, one sweep a year is usually right. We tell you if your chimney can go longer.
The price depends on the height of the chimney, roof access, how much creosote has built up, and whether you add an inspection. We quote a fixed price before booking, and the price on the day is the price you approved.
Most sweeps take 45 to 90 minutes. Heavy buildup, a tall chimney, or an added camera inspection can take longer.
No. We cover the hearth and nearby floors, seal the fireplace opening, and run a filtered vacuum while brushing. The room is left as we found it.
Gas fireplaces do not produce creosote, but the venting still needs cleaning and the burner needs service. See our gas fireplace page for what that visit includes.
