Meticulous Chimney Care for Edmonds Homes

That stubborn campfire odor is trapped creosote and moisture reacting with your masonry, especially common in Edmonds’ damp maritime climate. We remove the buildup and install a stainless-steel cap to block future moisture, leaving your fireplace smelling fresh year-round.

Edmonds’ relentless rain finds every crack in your chimney crown or flashing. We seal those gaps with waterproof masonry caulk and install a custom cricket to divert water away from the flue—no more leaks, no more mold.

Absolutely—once we’ve removed all creosote and debris, your fireplace is safe to use immediately. We’ll even show you how to build the first fire correctly to avoid new soot buildup.

If you haven’t swept it since last Edmonds summer or if you see more than 1/8 inch of creosote on your flue tiles, it’s time. We offer free fall inspections so you can book with confidence before the first frost.

That’s thermal shock from Edmonds’ rapid temperature swings—cold nights followed by warm mornings. A thorough inspection often reveals loose masonry that we’ll repoint, preventing cracks that could lead to dangerous leaks.

A Level 1 is our standard sweep with a camera check of accessible flues, while a Level 2 includes a full video scan of the entire system—required if you’ve had a chimney fire, earthquake, or major renovation in Edmonds.

Not yet. We’ll send you photos of the damage and recommend a stainless-steel liner if needed. Most cracks in Edmonds’ older homes are repairable without a full rebuild.

That black film is unburned hydrocarbons condensing on the glass due to poor drafting or excess moisture. We’ll adjust your damper and install a top-sealing damper to keep the glass clear all season.
