Tacoma has one of the richest stocks of pre-1930 housing in the state. The North End, Stadium District, Proctor, and Old Town are full of Craftsman, Victorian, and Tudor homes with tall brick chimneys, many serving two or three flues. South Tacoma, Eastside, and the neighborhoods along South Tacoma Way add 1940s and 1950s homes, and newer construction fills the Point Ruston and Hilltop areas.
We sweep and inspect chimneys, repair and rebuild masonry, and install inserts across Tacoma.
The century-old chimneys of the North End and Stadium District are the most common rebuild candidates we see anywhere in the South Sound: soft lime mortar, unlined or cracked clay flues, and crowns that have never been replaced. The Nisqually earthquake in 2001 damaged many of them. Homes in Ruston and along Commencement Bay take salt air that eats caps and dampers. Wood stoves are common in South Tacoma and need yearly sweeping.
Tacoma is in Pierce County and 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. For a historic North End home, start with a Level 2 camera inspection so any rebuild or relining decision is based on what the flue actually looks like.
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.
