Mercer Island’s housing is mostly 1950s through 1970s in origin, with many homes rebuilt or extensively remodeled since. Mid-century houses on First Hill, East Seattle, and the North End have masonry fireplaces, often two per house; waterfront rebuilds around the island typically have gas fireplaces and an outdoor fireplace on the terrace.
We sweep and inspect chimneys, service gas fireplaces, handle masonry repairs, and work on outdoor fireplaces across Mercer Island.
Waterfront exposure on every side of the island means wind-driven rain reaches chimneys that would stay dry inland. Flashing leaks and spalled brick on the weather face are the most common repairs. Mid-century homes often have shallow fireboxes and rusted dampers, and a remodel is the moment many owners choose an insert. Mature trees over much of the island keep flues shaded and full of debris where caps are missing.
Mercer Island follows Puget Sound Clean Air Agency burn bans. Gas fireplaces may be used during any ban.
Send us your zip code and how many fireplaces you have. We reply with a fixed price for the whole house and available dates. A single fall visit covering every flue keeps a multi-fireplace home simple to maintain.
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.
