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 Redmond, WA
Flint Chimney Sweep handles chimney cleaning, inspection, and repair across Redmond, WA, including Education Hill, Grass Lawn, Overlake, and the neighborhoods along Avondale Road. Most Redmond chimneys burn constantly from October through April, and the wet winters mean creosote builds faster than in drier parts of the state. If you need a chimney company in Redmond that puts the price in writing before work starts, call (830) 251-4560. Scheduling is coordinated from our Seattle office, with crews dispatched to Redmond homes throughout the week.
Why Redmond Homes Are Different
Redmond’s housing stock splits into two broad groups that change how we approach a chimney. The older homes on Education Hill and around downtown, many built between 1960 and 1985, often have masonry fireplaces with clay tile liners. Those liners crack after decades of heating and cooling cycles, and when they do, smoke and carbon monoxide can seep into wall cavities instead of venting outside. Newer construction in Overlake and along Willows Road tends toward prefabricated metal chimneys, which have their own failure points at the joints and chase tops.
Weather is the other factor. Redmond gets roughly 37 inches of rain a year, and a wet chimney cap or cracked crown lets that water into the flue. Water plus creosote makes an acidic sludge that eats mortar joints from the inside. We see this regularly in Redmond, where moss growth on north-facing chimney crowns is common. Homes near the Sammamish River also deal with higher humidity, which speeds rust on metal damper assemblies.
No Redmond neighborhood we know of requires a permit for a standard chimney sweep, but some HOAs in Redmond Ridge and the Townhomes at Redmond Center ask for written proof of inspection before approving work. We provide that documentation on every visit.
Our Main Redmond Services
Here are the three chimney jobs Redmond homeowners call us about most. Each has its own page with full pricing and details.
Chimney Sweep in Redmond
A Chimney Sweep in Redmond removes the creosote and soot coating from your flue liner and smoke chamber. In Redmond’s damp climate, we pay extra attention to the chimney crown and cap because trapped moisture turns a routine sweep into a masonry problem faster than most homeowners expect. Our technicians protect the area around your hearth before any brushing starts, and leave the interior as clean as they found it. Written price before work begins, every time.
Chimney Inspection in Redmond
A Chimney Inspection in Redmond uses a camera to check what your eyes cannot see: the interior of the flue liner, the smoke chamber, and the chimney crown. For older Redmond homes with original clay liners, an inspection often catches hairline cracks before they become a repair. This is the service to schedule if you just bought a home in Redmond, or if you cannot remember the last time anyone looked inside the flue. We document everything with photos.
Chimney Repair in Redmond
The most common Chimney Repair in Redmond calls involve cracked chimney crowns, failed flashing where the chimney meets the roofline, and damaged flue liners. Redmond’s wet winters mean a small flashing leak becomes a big interior repair within a season or two. We use HeatShield, Gelco, and Olympia Chimney materials when we reline or seal a flue. Every repair carries a written guarantee valid for one full year, and that guarantee includes a free return visit if a covered repair fails during that period.

Two things push Redmond prices toward the top of these ranges. Roof pitch matters: many Redmond homes have steep rooflines that take longer to work safely. And older masonry chimneys with original clay liners sometimes need more prep time than a modern metal flue. Whatever the job, the price you approve in writing before we start is the price on the invoice. No exceptions, no add-ons at the door.
