Chimney Cleaning Services That Actually Work
Your chimney collects more than just soot. In Kent’s wet climate, we regularly find everything from bird nests to years of creosote buildup that could spark a house fire. Our chimney cleaning process removes all of it safely.
We start every cleaning with a thorough inspection using our specialized cameras. This lets us spot problems before they become disasters. Then we clean from top to bottom, removing dangerous creosote, debris, and anything else that doesn’t belong in your chimney.
Most Kent homeowners are surprised by how much better their fireplace works after a proper cleaning. You’ll notice less smoke in your living room and that musty smell disappears completely.
Chimney Inspection - Catch Problems Early
Here’s something most people don’t know: your chimney inspection should happen before you have problems, not after. We recommend annual inspections for all Kent area homes, especially those built before 1990.
During our inspection, we check every part of your chimney system. That includes the flue liner, damper, firebox, and exterior masonry. We look for cracks, water damage, and structural issues that could put your family at risk.
Our detailed inspection reports help you plan ahead. Instead of getting hit with a huge repair bill during the busy winter season, you can address small issues before they grow.

Chimney Repair When Things Go Wrong
Kent’s freeze-thaw cycles are brutal on chimney masonry. We see the same problems every spring: cracked crowns, damaged flashing, and loose bricks that let water inside your home.
Our chimney repair team fixes these issues permanently. We don’t just patch things up – we rebuild damaged sections using materials that can handle Washington weather. Every repair comes with our 10-year warranty because we stand behind our work.
Common repairs we handle include:
- Cracked chimney crowns and caps
- Damaged flashing around the roof line
- Loose or missing mortar joints
- Water-damaged fireboxes
- Broken dampers that won’t open or close
Chimney Cap Installation - Your First Line of Defense
A good chimney cap prevents most of the expensive problems we see. It keeps rain out, stops animals from moving in, and prevents downdrafts that blow smoke into your house.
We custom-make caps for every chimney because no two are exactly the same. Our stainless steel caps resist rust and come with spark arrestors that meet Kent fire codes. Installation usually takes less than two hours.
The best part? A quality cap pays for itself by preventing water damage that costs thousands to fix.
Chimney Liner Installation - Modern Safety Standards
Many older Kent homes have chimney liners that don’t meet current safety codes. If your liner is cracked or missing, dangerous gases can leak into your home instead of going up the chimney where they belong.
Our chimney liner installation brings your system up to code. We install flexible stainless steel liners that fit perfectly and last for decades. The whole process typically takes one day, and you’ll notice the difference immediately when you use your fireplace.
Fireplace Cleaning for Better Performance
Your fireplace needs attention too. Over time, ash and debris build up in the firebox, making it harder to start fires and causing more smoke to enter your room.
Our fireplace cleaning service removes all the buildup and checks that your grate, screen, and other accessories are in good shape. We also clean the glass doors if you have them, so you can actually see the fire.
Fireplace Cleaning for Better Performance
A fireplace inspection goes hand-in-hand with chimney cleaning. We check that your damper opens and closes properly, look for cracks in the firebox, and make sure the hearth meets current safety standards.
If you’re buying a home in Kent, get the fireplace inspected before closing. We’ve found serious safety issues that sellers needed to fix, saving buyers thousands in unexpected repairs.
Dryer Vent Cleaning - More Important Than You Think
Most Kent homeowners forget about dryer vent cleaning until their clothes stop drying properly. But clogged dryer vents cause house fires every year in Washington.
We clean the entire vent system, from your dryer to the outside of your house. This improves drying efficiency and eliminates the fire risk from lint buildup. Most families save money on their electric bill after our cleaning service.
