Call (844) 803-1545

We’ve been driving to homes along Sprague Avenue, through the ranch neighborhoods of Opportunity, and up the hills toward Liberty Lake for over 42 years. Russell Haines started Hearthstone Chimney Co. in 1984, and we’ve learned how Spokane Valley’s long burning season and valley-inversion air quality rules change what a chimney sweep needs to check. The same geographic bowl that traps cold air and wood smoke in January also means your flue works harder here than in Seattle or Portland. That matters when we’re measuring creosote buildup or checking whether your liner can handle another season of heavy use.

Why Hearthstone Chimney Co. Is Spokane Valley’s Preferred Chimney Cleaning & Sweep Company

Our reputation in Spokane Valley was built one appointment at a time - homeowners in Veradale and Dishman who called us back the next year, then recommended us to neighbors. We don’t buy our way into trust; we sweep our way into it.

When you call (844) 803-1545, a live person answers. Not a callback queue, not an app, not “press 1 for scheduling.” That matters to homeowners who’ve been left waiting by contractors before. Our background-checked, uniformed technicians carry professional-grade equipment from DuraFlex and Copperfield, and most jobs finish in a single visit with no-hassle upfront pricing - the number on the estimate is the number on the invoice.

We document every Level 2 inspection with photos you can see and a plain-English verdict. No jargon, no scare tactics, just what we found and what it means for your chimney this season. And everything we do is backed by our 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing: if it’s not right, we make it right, no paperwork, no arguing.

Our Chimney Cleaning & Sweep Services in Spokane Valley

Level 1 Inspection

A Level 1 inspection is the standard annual check for chimneys that haven’t changed and are performing normally. In Spokane Valley, we perform these most often in the 99216 ZIP - covering Opportunity and Veradale - on 1950s-1970s ranch homes with original brick masonry chimneys now 50-70 years old. We examine the readily accessible portions of your chimney, check for obstructions and combustible deposits, and verify basic structural soundness. If you’re burning wood regularly through our long winters, this is your baseline maintenance.

Level 2 Inspection

Level 2 is where our camera inspection separates a real evaluation from a cursory look. We run a high-resolution camera up the flue to document creosote buildup, liner condition, and any gaps between inserts and original masonry. This is critical in Spokane Valley because of a common failure pattern we see: homeowners in the Opportunity area installed fireplace inserts during the 1977 energy crisis without proper flexible stainless-steel liner retrofits. Decades of creosote have packed the void between the insert collar and the original terracotta flue tile - invisible from below, but a genuine chimney-fire risk that only camera inspection reveals. You get photos you can see and a plain-English verdict, documented like an engineer, explained like a craftsman.

Creosote Removal

Spokane Valley winters regularly dip into single digits, and residents burn wood heavily from October through March. That cold-air drainage channeling down from the surrounding ridges means your fireplace works harder here than in Spokane proper’s more sheltered neighborhoods. The result is accelerated creosote buildup - sometimes Stage 3 glazed creosote that standard brushing won’t touch. We use professional-grade mechanical whips and, when necessary, chemical treatments from HeatShield to break down hardened deposits. A chimney clogged with creosote in Spokane Valley isn’t just a fire hazard; during mandatory “Curtailment” no-burn days issued by the Spokane Regional Clean Air Agency, excess smoke from a dirty flue can make every permitted burn illegal and expose you to fines.

Soot Removal & Fireplace Cleaning

Soot accumulation in the firebox, smoke chamber, and damper area restricts airflow and causes smoking problems - especially in older Spokane Valley homes with original throat dampers that have warped over decades of heat cycling. We clean the entire system, from firebox to cap, using vacuums with HEPA filtration to protect your home’s air quality. For homeowners near Dishman with basements that double as living space, this matters more: negative pressure in lower levels can pull soot odors and combustion byproducts into the house when the chimney isn’t drafting properly.

Trusted Brands We Service in Spokane Valley

We work exclusively with professional-grade materials - no builder-grade substitutes that fail in our climate. Our trucks carry DuraFlex flexible stainless liners, HeatShield refractory repair products, and Copperfield chimney caps and flashing components, all sized for the common chimney dimensions we encounter in 99216-area ranch homes. Because we stock these parts locally, most repairs that surface during your cleaning can be completed same-day rather than rescheduled after a parts order. That’s the difference between a sweep who cleans and leaves, and a Chimney Cleaning & Sweep team that can fix what we find while we’re already on your roof.

Common Chimney Cleaning & Sweep Problems We See in Spokane Valley Homes

• Glazed creosote from over-seasoned or softwood burning. Spokane Valley’s long heating season means some homeowners burn whatever’s available - including pine and construction scraps that deposit creosote faster than hardwood. By February, we’ve removed glazed deposits thick enough to significantly narrow the flue.
• Missing or deteriorated chimney caps. The wind that channels through the valley accelerates cap corrosion and can blow off poorly installed units. We replace these with Copperfield stainless caps that withstand our weather patterns.
• Smoke chamber parging failure in pre-1980 masonry. The ranch homes dominating Opportunity and Veradale often have unlined smoke chambers with original mortar that’s cracked and missing after 50+ years of thermal cycling. This creates turbulence that causes smoking and accelerates creosote accumulation.
• Insert-to-flue gaps from 1970s retrofits. That distinctive hook we see again and again: a wood-burning insert installed during the energy crisis, decades of creosote packed in the hidden void, and a homeowner who never knew because no camera ever looked up the flue.
