Burien's bluff exposure and tree cover both call for a quality stainless cap — one that keeps wind-driven rain, needles, and animals out of your flue. We size and fit caps and spark arrestors, free or replace seized dampers, and add top-sealing dampers for better efficiency.
When a vintage liner is cracked, corroded, or undersized for a new insert, we install stainless or cast-in-place liners that meet code and stand up to our climate. One install protects everything below it for years.

Caps, Dampers & Liners — your questions
Do I need a cap on my Burien chimney?
Yes. Bluff wind, Sound rain, and wooded neighborhoods near Seahurst make uncapped flues a magnet for water and nests. A cap is cheap protection.
When should an old liner be replaced?
Cracked clay tiles, corrosion, or a new stove install all call for a reline. Our camera inspection confirms it.
Can you fix a damper that's stuck?
Yes. Vintage and bluff-exposed dampers often rust or seize. We free or replace them and can add a top-sealing damper as an upgrade.
