Professional brushes and vacuums remove all creosote, soot, and debris from top to bottom.

We use professional-grade equipment and dust containment on every job. Drop cloths go down before we touch anything. We leave your home exactly the way we found it — except the chimney.
Signs Your Chimney Needs Cleaning Now
If any of these sound familiar, don't wait until the season starts.
Strong odor from the fireplace
Creosote and soot buildup has a distinctive smell, especially in warm or humid weather.
Smoke backing up into the room
A blocked or dirty flue can't exhaust properly — smoke finds the path of least resistance.
Reduced draft or slow-starting fires
Buildup restricts airflow. If fires are harder to start or keep going, the flue needs attention.
Visible soot or tar around the damper
If you can see it at the damper, there's significantly more you can't see above.
More than a year since the last sweep
Annual cleaning is the NFPA standard. Don't go into fire season without it.
You burn wood frequently
Heavy use accelerates creosote buildup. Frequent burners should consider mid-season cleaning.
What Customers Say
5-Star Rated Across Greater Seattle
If you are looking for professional and affordable chimney repair services, I highly recommend these guys. We had a leak from our chimney that we needed repaired. We got a lot of INSANE quotes from other companies, but Sean the technician that we worked with gave us a super reasonable price and was really kind as well. He explained everything to us and gave us a price breakdown in the quote so there was full transparency for pricing. They did an awesome job repairing the leak and redoing the flashing. We would use them again!

★★★★★Great guys! I love the way they approached my project compared to other companies — my chimney was falling apart and leaning very bad, the masonry was crumbling. I wanted a rebuild from the roofline up and Seattle Chimney Services got it done for an amazing price and within my timeframe before selling the house. Highly highly recommended.

★★★★★Why Annual Chimney Cleaning Matters
Creosote — a tar-like byproduct of burning wood — accumulates on the inner walls of your flue with every fire you light. At low levels it's a nuisance. At heavy levels it becomes a serious fire hazard. The NFPA reports a chimney fire every 16 minutes in the US, and most are preventable with routine cleaning.
Beyond safety, a clean chimney draws better, produces less smoke, and helps your fireplace operate at peak efficiency. It's the single most important thing you can do to protect your home during fire season.
