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 Medina, WA
Medina sits on a narrow spit of land between Lake Washington and Meydenbauer Bay, and the homes here reflect that geography: large lots, mature evergreen canopy, older custom builds mixed with newer construction, and almost every roofline cut by water and wind. As a chimney company serving Medina, we approach every job knowing the housing stock is substantial, the roofs are often steep, and the fireplaces are used heavily from October through March. It’s a different job than a standard suburban sweep. Call (830) 251-4560 when you’re ready to book, and you’ll get a written price before any work starts.
Why Medina Homes Are Different
Medina’s waterfront and view properties were built in waves, with a large share of pre-1980 construction alongside significant remodels and teardown-rebuilds from the last two decades. That split matters for chimney work: older masonry fireplaces often have clay tile flues that show age differently than the stainless steel liners common in newer builds. The damp Pacific Northwest climate accelerates creosote adhesion and brick spalling, and homes close to Lake Washington deal with more moisture penetration than those up the hill toward Evergreen Point Road.
Roof pitch in Medina runs steeper than flat suburban lots, especially on the hillside properties east of 84th Avenue NE. Our crews expect to work from properly secured staging or steep-roof ladders on many Medina jobs, and we price accordingly. The city’s setback and shoreline rules don’t change how a sweep gets done, but access can: narrow driveways, mature landscaping, and ravine lots all shape how we stage the truck and run the hose. We account for that before giving a price.
Our Main Medina Services
Most Medina homeowners call us for two things: a routine sweep before burning season, and an inspection when they’re buying, selling, or noticing something off. All three of our core services have their own Medina page linked below.
Chimney Sweep in Medina
A Chimney Sweep in Medina removes creosote, soot, and debris from the flue so your fireplace drafts properly and burns safely. In Medina, we often find more debris than expected: overhanging fir and cedar branches drop needles, and nesting material from birds and squirrels is common near the lake. Every sweep includes a visual check of the firebox, damper, and cap, and we cover the work area with drop cloths and run a HEPA vacuum so no dust settles on your floors.
Chimney Inspection in Medina
A Chimney Inspection in Medina is a structured evaluation of the flue, crown, cap, mortar joints, and smoke chamber, documented with camera footage you can see yourself. For Medina homes, this matters most in real estate transactions where the buyer needs to know whether the fireplace is safe to use, and in older homes where the liner may have deteriorated behind walls where nobody can see it. We give you a written report with photos and a clear recommendation.
Chimney Repair in Medina
A Chimney Repair in Medina covers everything from cracked crowns and spalling brick to full flue relining using professional-grade products like DuraFlex and HeatShield. Medina’s wet winters punish exterior masonry faster than drier climates, and deferred moisture damage is the single most common repair we quote here. Every repair carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise, a written guarantee valid for one full year, and we return at no charge if a covered repair fails in that period.
