Frequently asked questions
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.
How fast can you get here?
Most Maple Valley 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.
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.
My chimney leaks every time it rains. Can you fix it?
Yes — with nine months of rain a year, leaks are our most common Maple Valley call. Most come from a cracked crown, missing cap, or failed flashing. We find the true source and seal it, not just the symptom.
Do repairs come with a warranty?
Yes — masonry and cap work carries a workmanship guarantee, and waterproofing treatments include a 10-year material warranty.
How often should a chimney be swept in Western Washington?
Yearly. Damp, slow-burning firewood produces more creosote than dry hardwood, so Maple Valley chimneys that burn through the wet season usually need a sweep every year and an inspection every fall.
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.
