“Two other companies quoted a full rebuild. These guys fixed the crown and waterproofed it for a fraction — leak's gone.”
Marcus T. · Federal Way · Crown repair
“Birds had nested in the flue. Nest out, stainless cap on, all in one visit. Professional from start to finish.”
Priya D. · Kent · Cap installation
“Needed a Level 2 for our home sale on short notice. Report was thorough, photographed, and the buyers' inspector loved it.”
James L. · Maple Valley · Level 2 inspection

Areas we serve

Local to Auburn. Crews across the area.

Our sweeps live and work around Auburn, which is how we keep same-week appointments and show up when we said we would.

Frequently asked questions

How often should a chimney be swept in Western Washington?

Yearly. Damp, slow-burning firewood produces more creosote than dry hardwood, so Auburn chimneys that burn through the wet season usually need a sweep every year and an inspection every fall.

Do you provide free quotes?

Yes — repair quotes are free and written, with photos of what we found and the final price quoted before any work begins.

Do repairs come with a warranty?

Yes — masonry and cap work carries a workmanship guarantee, and waterproofing treatments include a 10-year material warranty.

My chimney leaks every time it rains. Can you fix it?

Yes — with nine months of rain a year, leaks are our most common Auburn call. Most come from a cracked crown, missing cap, or failed flashing. We find the true source and seal it, not just the symptom.

How fast can you get here?

Most Auburn appointments are available within a few days, and often same-week even in peak fall season.

What is a Level 2 inspection and when do I need one?

A Level 2 adds a full video scan of the flue. It's required when buying or selling a home, after a chimney fire, or after any major storm damage.

Are you licensed and insured?

Fully. We carry liability insurance, and every technician is certified and background-checked.

Will sweeping make a mess in my house?

No. We lay drop cloths, seal the fireplace opening, and run HEPA vacuums the entire time — your hearth stays spotless.

Is moss on my chimney a problem?

It is. Moss holds water against the brick and crown, which freezes, expands, and cracks the masonry. We remove it, repair any damage, and apply a breathable water repellent.
