The Sammamish plateau was built mostly from the 1980s through the 2010s. Older neighborhoods around Pine Lake, Inglewood, and the Sahalee area have factory-built wood fireplaces and some masonry; Trossachs, Beaver Lake, and the newer subdivisions have direct-vent gas. Large wooded lots mean plenty of firewood and plenty of wood stoves.
We sweep and inspect chimneys and stoves, service gas fireplaces, install inserts, and handle repairs across Sammamish.
The 1980s factory-built fireplaces around Pine Lake and Inglewood are past 40 years old, and cracked refractory panels, rusted chase covers, and missing caps are routine findings. The plateau’s tall Douglas firs drop needles into uncapped flues every fall and keep chimneys shaded and damp. Gas fireplaces in newer homes mostly need annual service they have never had.
Sammamish follows Puget Sound Clean Air Agency burn bans.
Send us your zip code and what you need. We reply with a fixed price and open dates. Factory-built fireplace owners should have the chase cover and panels inspected before the season; both are one-visit repairs.
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.
