Auburn spreads across the Green River and White River valleys and up onto the surrounding hills. Downtown and West Hill have homes from the early 1900s through the 1950s with brick chimneys. Lea Hill and the East Hill plateau grew in the 1970s and 1980s, and Lakeland Hills, on the Pierce County side, is mostly 1990s and 2000s construction with gas or factory-built fireplaces.
We sweep and inspect chimneys, repair masonry, service gas fireplaces, and install inserts across Auburn and neighboring Pacific and Algona.
Valley-floor homes downtown sit in cold, still air on winter nights, which is when creosote condenses fastest in a cool flue and when burn bans are most likely to be called. Older brick chimneys there show soft mortar and cracked crowns. On Lea Hill and in Lakeland Hills the common issues are rusted chase covers on factory-built fireplaces and gas units that have gone years without service.
Auburn spans King and Pierce counties, both covered by Puget Sound Clean Air Agency burn bans.

Evergreen Chimney Sweep serves homeowners in Seattle and the surrounding cities. We sweep, inspect, and repair masonry and factory-built chimneys, and we work on wood, gas, and pellet appliances.
Seattle’s wet climate is hard on chimneys. Water gets into crowns and flashing, brick faces spall, and dampers rust. We look for these problems on every visit and tell you what needs attention now and what can wait.
