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 SeaTac, WA
Flint Chimney Sweep is a chimney cleaning company serving SeaTac, WA with straightforward pricing, written guarantees, and technicians who show up when they say they will. Most SeaTac homes were built between the 1950s and 1990s, which means masonry chimneys with original clay tile liners are common here, and those liners do not age gracefully in damp Pacific Northwest air. Call (830) 251-4560 for a free estimate on any chimney job in SeaTac.
Why SeaTac Homes Are Different
SeaTac sits on a ridge between the Duwamish Valley and Puget Sound, which means wind and rain hit chimneys from predictable directions and the freeze-thaw cycle does real work on mortar joints. Homes near Angle Lake and Bow Lake see more ground moisture than houses up on the higher streets off Military Road South, and wet soil plus older footing drains puts basement fireplace dampers and ash pits at greater risk of rust and seepage.
Housing stock here leans heavily toward single-story ramblers and split-levels from the 1960s through 1980s, many with original chimneys that have never had a camera inspection. SeaTac’s mix of flat lots and hilly streets off Des Moines Memorial Drive means some chimneys are accessible from two stories of staging while others can be reached with a simple roof ladder from a garage. We quote every SeaTac job based on what the chimney actually needs, not a generic zip-code price.
Permits are another local factor. King County and the City of SeaTac require permits for structural chimney repairs like rebuilding a firebox or replacing a crown, but routine sweeping and camera inspections do not need one. If a permit is required on your job, we tell you in the written quote before any work starts.
Our Main SeaTac Services
Three services cover nearly every chimney call we handle in SeaTac. Each one has its own page with specific pricing, timelines, and what to expect on the job.
Chimney Sweep in SeaTac
A chimney sweep in SeaTac removes built-up creosote and soot from the flue, smoke chamber, and firebox so your fireplace burns safely and drafts correctly. Most SeaTac chimneys we clean are wood-burning fireplaces in ramblers and split-levels, and the damp air off Puget Sound means creosote can form faster here than in drier eastern Washington climates. We brush the full flue, clean the smoke shelf where debris collects, and leave the firebox ready to use. Read more on our Chimney Sweep in SeaTac page.
Chimney Inspection in SeaTac
Chimney inspection in SeaTac uses a camera pushed through the flue to document every crack, gap, or hidden void. We recommend this before buying any SeaTac home with a fireplace, and we also do it after storms that may have shifted the chimney or damaged the crown. The written report includes photos, so you see what we see. If we find nothing wrong, we say so in plain words. If we find damage, you get the footage to verify it. Details are on the Chimney Inspection in SeaTac page.
Chimney Repair in SeaTac
Chimney repair in SeaTac covers the structural work: crown rebuilds, mortar joint repointing, firebox repair, and flue relining when the original clay liner is cracked or missing sections. SeaTac’s rain and wind push water into exposed masonry, and once water gets into the crown or the mortar joints, it expands and contracts with every freeze. We use materials from HeatShield, Gelco, and Olympia Chimney, and every repair carries a written one-year guarantee. See the Chimney Repair in SeaTac page for scope and pricing.
