Fall is the ideal time to clear your chimney of creosote buildup—Everett’s damp winters accelerate residue accumulation, increasing fire risk. Our process removes layers of tar-like creosote that cling to flue walls, restoring proper draft and reducing smoke spillback into your home. We also clear obstructions like leaves, pine needles, or even critter nests that can block airflow. Left unchecked, even a thin creosote layer can ignite during your first heavy burn, turning a cozy fire into a chimney fire emergency. Don’t gamble with safety—our seasonal cleaning ensures your chimney is ready for the first cold snap.

Our Level 2 inspection uses a high-definition camera to examine every flue joint, crown, and flashing for cracks, gaps, or water intrusion. We check for deterioration in masonry, rust in metal components, and even subtle shifts in the chimney’s structure that could worsen with freeze-thaw cycles. Catching these issues now prevents costly repairs later and ensures your chimney passes inspection for home insurance or real estate transactions. This isn’t a cursory glance—it’s a full diagnostic to keep your family safe.
Request this service →Everett’s wet winters are brutal on chimneys—water seeping into cracks freezes, expands, and cracks masonry apart. A damaged crown or missing cap lets rain, snow, and even Everett’s notorious wind-driven rain into your flue, accelerating deterioration. We rebuild crowns with durable, waterproof materials and install custom caps that block birds, squirrels, and debris while allowing proper airflow. A well-sealed chimney stays dry, lasts decades longer, and prevents costly water damage to your home’s interior walls and ceilings. Don’t wait for a leak to appear—fix it before the first storm.
Request this service →Historic Everett homes and brick chimneys in neighborhoods like Silver Lake often suffer from eroded mortar joints that let water seep in. Our tuckpointing process removes damaged mortar, replaces it with weather-resistant material, and seals joints to prevent future water intrusion. We also repair cracked bricks and rebuild damaged sections to match original masonry. Left unaddressed, deteriorating mortar can lead to chimney collapse or costly structural repairs. Our work is built to last—we use materials rated for Pacific Northwest winters and offer warranties on labor.
Request this service →Many Everett homes built before modern building codes have unlined or clay-tile flues that can’t handle today’s high-efficiency appliances or wood-burning stoves. A stainless steel liner creates a smooth, insulated pathway for smoke and gases, reducing creosote buildup and improving draft. It also prevents heat transfer to combustible walls and extends the life of your chimney. Whether you’re upgrading to a new stove or restoring an old fireplace, relining ensures your chimney meets current safety standards and operates at peak efficiency.

We prioritize emergency repairs to restore safety and prevent further damage. Our team carries full insurance and can often complete urgent fixes the same day, minimizing disruption to your household.
