Redmond homes fall into two groups. In town, Education Hill, Grass Lawn, and Willows have 1970s and 1980s houses with masonry or factory-built fireplaces, and Overlake and downtown have newer townhomes with direct-vent gas. East of the city on Union Hill, Novelty Hill, and in the Bear Creek area, larger lots often have wood stoves and outdoor fireplaces.
We sweep and inspect chimneys, service gas fireplaces, install and service inserts and stoves, and handle repairs throughout Redmond.
The factory-built fireplaces installed across Redmond in the 1970s and 1980s have metal chase covers that rust through after decades of rain, letting water run down inside the chase. It is one of the most common leak sources we find on Education Hill. Wood stoves on the rural east side burn a lot of wood and need sweeping every season.
Redmond is inside the Puget Sound Clean Air Agency burn ban area. EPA-certified stoves and inserts may run during Stage 1 bans; open fireplaces may not.
Send us your zip code and what you need. We reply with a fixed price and dates. Wood stove owners on Novelty Hill and Union Hill should book sweeps in early fall before the first burn ban week.
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.
