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.

Why Mukilteo Homes Are Different
Mukilteo’s chimney work is shaped by two things most other Puget Sound cities don’t face in the same combination: salt air and steep coastal grades. Homes in Old Town and along the bluff near Lighthouse Park sit close enough to Possession Sound that salt spray reaches exterior chimney caps, brick faces, and flashing. That salt accelerates rust on dampers and cap assemblies in ways we rarely see a few miles inland in Lynnwood or Mill Creek. The grade changes matter too. Many Mukilteo homes climb hillside lots, which means roof access is steeper than residential work elsewhere in Snohomish County. Our crews set up differently here, staging ladders and safety lines on uneven ground and checking footing before anyone goes roofward.
Housing stock in Mukilteo runs to two eras that each bring their own chimney realities. The mid-century homes near Harbour Pointe and Gooch Creek were built when masonry fireplaces were standard, and those brick chimneys are now at the age where spalling and crown cracks show up on inspection reports. Newer construction in the Highlands and Chennault areas tends toward factory-built, metal flue systems, which need different cleaning tools and a different inspection checklist. Neither is harder than the other, but a Mukilteo chimney sweep needs to know which one they’re dealing with before the first brush goes up.
Our Main Mukilteo Services
The two services Mukilteo homeowners call about most are chimney sweeps and chimney inspections. Here’s how each one works locally.
Chimney Sweep in Mukilteo
A chimney sweep removes creosote and soot from the flue, smoke chamber, and firebox. In Mukilteo, we pay extra attention to the exterior cap and damper because salt air corrosion is common near the waterfront, and a rusted cap lets rain and birds in. We brush the full flue, vacuum everything out, and leave your fireplace ready to burn. Every sweep includes a written price before work starts, so the number you approve is the number on the invoice.

Chimney Inspection in Mukilteo
A chimney inspection is the camera-and-eyes check of everything from the crown to the firebox. In Mukilteo’s older brick chimneys near the bluff, we look closely at mortar joints and crown hairline cracks, because wind-driven salt moisture works into those openings and widens them over freeze-thaw cycles. We also check flue liner condition, which matters a lot in mid-century homes that may still have original clay tile liners. You get a written report with photos so you can see exactly what we’re seeing. Chimney Inspection in Mukilteo
Chimney Repair in Mukilteo
Repairs in Mukilteo are often about water. Rusted dampers, cracked crowns, deteriorated flashing, and damaged flue liners all start with moisture getting in and doing quiet damage over years. We repair or replace what’s actually broken, using professional-grade materials like DuraFlex liners and Olympia Chimney caps, and every repair carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If a covered repair fails within one full year, we return at no charge. Chimney Repair in Mukilteo
