Level 1 sweep and inspection to the NFPA 211 annual standard - flue, crown, cap, and flashing checked and photographed
Chimney sweep logs do not sweep chimneys. They loosen some creosote - which then falls where a brush and vacuum still have to collect it.

AfterChimney Company in Lake Stickney, WA
A chimney sweep in Lake Stickney typically runs $189 to $349 depending on the fireplace, wood stove, or insert and how much creosote has built up inside the flue. Inspections start at $99 and repairs are quoted in writing before any work begins. Lake Stickney homes run older than the regional average, and many still burn wood as a secondary heat source through the wet winter months, so our crews spend more time on flue integrity and moisture problems here than in newer developments. Call (830) 251-4560 for a free estimate on any of it.
Why Lake Stickney Homes Are Different
That wet climate is the single biggest factor in what we find: water intrusion through cracked crowns and deteriorated mortar joints, which accelerates creosote buildup and can hide flue damage until an inspection camera shows it. Moss on the chimney cap is a regular sight here, and it means water has been sitting against the masonry long enough for freeze-thaw cycles to work their way in.
Terrain plays a role too. Homes east of State Route 525 and around the Lake Stickney area sit on sloping lots where roof access can be tighter, so ladder setup and footing get more careful attention than on a flat suburban street. A lot of Lake Stickney residences also burn fir, cedar, and alder purchased by the cord from local suppliers, and those woods build glaze creosote faster than hardwoods when the fire is damped down overnight. None of this makes a chimney unsavable, but it does mean we schedule slightly longer first visits in Lake Stickney and document everything with camera images before any recommendation is made.
Our Main Lake Stickney Services
Three services cover nearly every chimney call in Lake Stickney: the annual sweep, the inspection that tells you what condition the system is in, and the repair work that puts it right. Each has its own dedicated page with local pricing and specifics.
Chimney Sweep in Lake Stickney
We remove creosote, soot, and any debris blocking the flue, then clean the smoke chamber, damper, and firebox so your fire draws properly from the start. In Lake Stickney, we also clear moss and leaves from the crown area when we’re on the roof, because standing vegetation against masonry causes more local chimney failures than any single fire issue. A standard sweep takes 60 to 90 minutes. Chimney Sweep in Lake Stickney
Chimney Inspection in Lake Stickney
An inspection in Lake Stickney focuses on water damage first: cracked crowns, spalling brick, and flashing that has pulled away from the roofline after years of Snohomish County rain. We run a camera through the flue and show you the footage, so every recommendation is backed by an image you can see yourself. Level 1 and Level 2 inspections each have their own scope and price.
