Downtown Edmonds and the Bowl have some of the oldest homes in south Snohomish County, cottages and bungalows from the 1910s through the 1930s with small brick chimneys. Seaview, Westgate, Five Corners, and Perrinville added 1950s through 1980s homes on the hills above the ferry dock, many with view decks and masonry or factory-built fireplaces.
We sweep and inspect chimneys, repair and rebuild masonry, install inserts, and service gas fireplaces across Edmonds and Woodway.
Edmonds faces Puget Sound, and salt-laden wind hits west-facing chimneys year-round. Caps, dampers, and chase covers corrode faster here than anywhere inland, and brick on the weather face spalls sooner. The 1920s chimneys in the Bowl often have soft mortar and clay liners that need a camera inspection before they are used heavily. Uncapped flues on wooded hillside lots collect needles from the tall firs.
Edmonds follows Puget Sound Clean Air Agency burn bans.
Send us your zip code and what you need. We reply with a fixed price and available dates. Stainless steel caps are the right choice for Edmonds waterfront homes; galvanized ones rust through in a few seasons.
Leaks, cracked crowns, spalling brick, failed liners, and stuck dampers fixed before water damage and fire risk spread.
A top-to-bottom check of the flue, liner, crown, cap, and flashing, with the findings explained in plain language.
Creosote and soot removed from the firebox to the cap, the flue checked for blockages, and the hearth left clean.

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.
