Chimney Sweep & Cleaning in Burien
Our Burien sweeps run the full length of the flue. We rod out soot and creosote, capture it at the source with HEPA vacuums, and fully tarp the hearth so your home stays clean — a must in the older bungalows around Olde Burien. After a gray south-Sound winter of burning, that buildup is your home's top fire risk.
We sweep by appointment, ideally before the heating season. You finish with a clean firebox, an open draft, and a written summary of anything we found up the flue.

Chimney Sweep & Cleaning — your questions
How often should I sweep my Burien chimney?
Annually for regular wood burners through our long, wet south-end winters. Heavy burners near Seahurst's wooded lots may want a mid-season check.
Will the sweep make a mess in my older home?
No. We tarp the hearth, seal the opening, and vacuum at the source — we're careful in vintage Burien bungalows especially.
Do you sweep gas and insert flues?
Yes. Gas units and inserts still need cleaning and inspection, just on a different schedule than open wood fireplaces.
