University Place’s humid climate accelerates creosote formation, turning your chimney into a ticking safety hazard. Our certified sweeps use high-powered vacuums and brushes to remove every trace of flammable residue, leaving your chimney pristine and your home protected. We inspect for cracks, blockages, or rust—common in older homes near the Duwamish River—and address them on the spot. With every sweep, you get a detailed report and a 30-day warranty against creosote recurrence. No other University Place chimney sweep offers this level of precision or follow-through.

University Place’s dry, windy summers push lint deep into vents, creating a silent risk in laundry rooms across town. Our dryer vent cleaning goes beyond surface debris: we use rotating brushes and air blasts to clear every inch, including those hard-to-reach bends behind walls. Every inspection includes **airflow diagnostics** and **sealing heat-loss gaps** to ensure your system operates at peak efficiency. Every cleaning includes a safety inspection and a 60-day warranty. No other local service combines this thoroughness with a guarantee.
Request this service →Buying a home in University Place? Or just want to avoid a chimney disaster during the next rainy season? Our inspections reveal what others miss: corroded flues, improper clearances, or animal nests—all common in older homes near the South Hill. We use a GoPro camera to inspect flue liners and smoke chambers, then provide a clear, actionable report. Unlike quick drive-by inspections, we take our time, measure moisture levels, and flag potential issues before they lead to water damage or carbon monoxide leaks. Every inspection includes a free estimate for any needed repairs.
Request this service →Cracks in your chimney liner don’t just let smoke into your home—they expose your family to deadly carbon monoxide. University Place’s frequent temperature swings (from damp winters to dry summers) accelerate liner deterioration, especially in older masonry chimneys. Our relining service uses premium ceramic tiles to seal gaps completely, ensuring a tight, safe seal. We also repair spalling brick and reseal mortar joints to prevent water intrusion—a major issue for homes near the Green River watershed. All repairs come with a 5-year warranty and a satisfaction guarantee.

University Place’s older homes often have vents that twist sharply or run through attics, trapping lint like a sieve. We specialize in rerouting vents to eliminate sharp turns and installing high-velocity ducts for better airflow. For extreme cases, we add booster fans or relocate vents entirely—saving you money on energy bills and eliminating fire risks. Every upgrade includes a free energy-efficiency assessment to maximize your dryer’s performance.
Request this service →Carbon monoxide is odorless, colorless, and deadly—yet many University Place homeowners don’t realize their chimney or dryer vent could be leaking it. Our CO testing uses portable monitors to check for leaks during operation, then pinpoints the source: cracked liners, blocked flues, or even improperly installed vents. We don’t just warn you; we provide a step-by-step repair plan with upfront pricing. Unlike generic safety checks, our tests are tailored to University Place’s common issues, like rusted cast-iron pipes in basements or poorly sealed masonry joints. Peace of mind starts with knowing your home is safe.
