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.

Chimney cleaning in Battle Ground, WA typically runs $189 – $329 for a standard sweep with a Level 1 inspection included.

Why Battle Ground Homes Are Different
Battle Ground sits in a spot where the Pacific Northwest’s wet winters meet genuine wood-burning culture. A lot of the housing stock here was built in two waves: the 1970s and early 1980s, when Battle Ground was still mostly rural Clark County, and the 1990s through mid-2000s, when subdivisions spread north and east of Main Street. Those two eras have different chimney problems. The older homes often have masonry chimneys with clay tile liners that have cracked from decades of thermal cycling. The newer homes typically have factory-built chimneys with metal flues that corrode faster than homeowners expect, especially if the cap has been missing for a few winters.
Wet conditions matter. Battle Ground gets more rain than Portland or Vancouver, and a chimney that leaks water through a cracked crown or missing cap turns creosote into an acidic paste that eats mortar joints. We also see a lot of wood stoves in the unincorporated areas around the city, particularly in the rural properties east of town. Wood stoves burn differently than open fireplaces and produce a different creosote profile, which changes how we approach the sweep. Hank Delano trains every technician to treat a Battleground wood stove insert as its own job, not a fireplace with a box installed.
Our Main Battle Ground Services
Three jobs make up most of what Battle Ground homeowners call us for: a straight chimney sweep, a Level 2 inspection when buying or selling a home, and repair work after an inspection turns something up. Each has its own page with pricing and specifics.
Chimney Sweep in Battle Ground
A Chimney Sweep in Battle Ground removes creosote, soot, and debris from the flue, smoke chamber, and firebox. In Battle Ground, the job often includes pulling apart a wood stove connector pipe or clearing a squirrel or bird nest out of a chimney that hasn’t been capped. We brush the full flue, sweep the smoke shelf, vacuum everything with a HEPA-filtered system, and leave no dust in the living room. Every sweep includes a basic visual check of the liner and cap. You get a written price before we start, and the number on the invoice is the number you approved.
Chimney Inspection in Battle Ground
A Chimney Inspection in Battle Ground is what we recommend before buying a home here, after any chimney fire, or if a sweep turns up something questionable. We run a camera up the flue and give you a written report with photos, so you can see exactly what we found. Battle Ground’s wet climate makes water damage the most common finding, so we pay close attention to the crown, the flashing, and the top rows of brick. A Level 2 inspection is the standard for real estate transactions in Clark County. We do not recommend repairs unless the camera shows a reason.
Chimney Repair in Battle Ground
A Chimney Repair in Battle Ground covers everything from a new chimney cap to a full flue relining (replacing the inner liner that channels smoke safely out of the house). In Battle Ground, we regularly see crowns that have cracked from rain followed by freezing nights and brick faces that have spalled from water absorption. We specify materials by the job, not by the profit margin, so you’ll see names like Copperfield caps, DuraFlex liners, and Olympia Chimney dampers on our quotes. Every repair carries a written one-year guarantee under the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If a covered repair fails within that year, we return at no charge.
