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 Edmonds, WA
Chimney work in Edmonds doesn’t look like chimney work in Seattle or Everett. The salt air off Puget Sound, the older homes climbing the hills west of Highway 99, and the damp fall-and-winter weather create a specific set of conditions for any chimney company working here. Moisture is the main driver of most problems we see, whether it’s spalling brick, rusted dampers, or liners degrading behind the chase. If you’re looking for a chimney company in Edmonds that writes down the price before any work starts, call us at (830) 251-4560.
Why Edmonds Homes Are Different
Edmonds sits on a west-facing slope toward the Sound, which means two things for your chimney: the marine air arrives most afternoons, and the rain arrives with it for roughly eight months a year. Homes in the Bowl, down near Main Street and the waterfront, see more of that salt-laden moisture than homes up in Westgate or off Five Corners. That moisture works its way into brick and mortar joints slowly, and by the time a homeowner sees flaking brick or a rust stain, water has usually been getting in for a while.
The housing stock matters too. Edmonds has a heavy concentration of mid-century homes, many built with masonry chimneys that have now been collecting weather for fifty to seventy years. A lot of those chimneys have original clay tile liners, and we regularly find cracks in those tiles during routine inspections. The hilly lots also mean many Edmonds chimneys are on steep or awkward roof pitches, where access, ladder work, and rain cap installation take longer than a flat suburban rooftop. None of this makes the job impossible, but it does mean the crew that shows up needs to know what a wet winter does to a chimney that close to the water.
Our Main Edmonds Services
The three jobs Edmonds homeowners call us about most are sweeps, inspections, and repairs. Each is covered on its own Edmonds page, linked below.
Chimney Sweep in Edmonds
A sweep in Edmonds is rarely a quick dust-out. Homes near the water tend to have more creosote accumulation because the damp air slows the burn in the firebox. We remove soot and creosote from the flue, the smoke shelf, and the firebox, then clean up the area around the hearth before we leave. The work typically runs about an hour to ninety minutes depending on the home. See the full scope on our Chimney Sweep in Edmonds page.
Chimney Inspection in Edmonds
Inspections in Edmonds are where we find most of the problems caused by marine moisture. We camera-scan the flue interior so you can see the tile joints and liner walls with your own eyes, and we document exterior brick and mortar conditions. If you’re buying or selling a home in Edmonds, or you’ve owned the house for a few years and never looked inside the flue, this is the starting point. Details are on our Chimney Inspection in Edmonds page.
Chimney Repair in Edmonds
Repair work in Edmonds usually comes down to one of three things: replacing a cracked liner, rebuilding a deteriorated crown, or repointing brick and mortar joints. We write the full repair scope and price before any work starts, and every repair carries a written one-year guarantee. If a covered repair fails inside that year, we return and fix it at no charge. Read what that includes on our Chimney Repair in Edmonds page.

FAQs About Chimney Company in Edmonds
For routine sweeps and inspections, no. For structural repairs like a full flue relining or a rebuild, the city may require a permit. We can tell you before the work starts whether your specific job needs one.
Most sweeps and inspections in Edmonds can be scheduled within one to three business days. Repairs depend on scope and parts availability. Call (830) 251-4560 and we’ll give you a straight answer, not a callback request.
