Chimney Cleaning Services We Offer in Boulevard Park
Chimney Cleaning & Sweep
We remove third-degree creosote, soot, and obstructions from flues in Boulevard Park’s original clay-tile-lined masonry chimneys using rotary brushes and HEPA containment. Every sweep includes a basic structural check of accessible components. Learn more about our Chimney Cleaning & Sweep in Boulevard Park.
Chimney Repair
Mortar erosion and spalling brick are routine findings here due to decades of marine moisture cycling against unrepaired crowns. We repoint joints, rebuild fireboxes, and replace damaged brick with materials rated for Western Washington’s wet climate. Learn more about our Chimney Repair in Boulevard Park.
Fireplace Services
Gas insert troubleshooting, damper repair, and smoke chamber parging for the wood-burning fireplaces that Boulevard Park homeowners still depend on during Puget Sound Clean Air Agency no-burn exemptions. Learn more about our Fireplace Services in Boulevard Park.
Chimney Cap & Crown Installation
We fabricate and install stainless steel and copper caps using Famco and Gelco components, and pour reinforced concrete crowns with proper drip edges to shed the 38 inches of annual rainfall that accelerates deterioration on Boulevard Park chimneys.
Chimney Liner & Rebuild
Original clay tile liners in 98168’s 1945-1970 housing stock crack, shift, and glaze with creosote. We install stainless steel relining systems from DuraFlex and HeatShield’s cerfractory flue sealant where appropriate, with full documentation photos.

Why Boulevard Park’s Climate & Housing Affect Chimney Cleaning
Boulevard Park sits in the SeaTac lowlands where marine air sits heavy and the rain comes steady - roughly 38 inches yearly. That moisture doesn’t just fall; it lingers in porous brick, freezes in mortar joints on the coldest January nights, and expands. By spring, we’ve already fielded calls from homeowners on South 144th who noticed brick faces flaking onto their roofs. That’s spalling, and it’s the predictable result of wet-dry cycling on chimneys that haven’t been capped or crowned properly in twenty years.
The damp winters also drive a particular burning habit we see across Boulevard Park: partially seasoned or green wood, often whatever was cheapest or available, burned in fireplaces that haven’t been swept since the previous administration. Green wood deposits creosote at two to three times the rate of seasoned hardwood. Combine that with original clay flue liners that may have shifted or cracked decades ago, and you have a chimney that looks functional from the hearth but carries significant risk. Our Level-2 camera inspections reveal what the eye cannot - documented like an engineer, explained like a craftsman.
Because Boulevard Park is unincorporated, residents operate under Puget Sound Clean Air Agency jurisdiction, not city ordinance. During winter air-quality episodes, all wood burning is banned outright. Every permissible burn day matters for households relying on supplemental heat. A blocked or compromised flue doesn’t just waste those limited days - it endangers the home. Pre-season cleaning isn’t an upsell here. It’s preparation for a narrow window of use.
