Chimney sweeping in Tracyton, WA

Chimney sweeping in Tracyton is best scheduled in late summer or early fall before the first fire. We also get January calls when smoke comes back into the room, which means a blockage and should not wait. We could tell the same story about a dozen Tracyton addresses.

Locally owned, not a franchise

Money spent with a local company stays local. Our techs live in south King and Pierce County, our vans are serviced in Kent, our supplies come from a Seattle distributor, and the laundromat employs neighbors in Tukwila. When you book chimney sweeping in Tracyton with us instead of a national brand, that is where the money goes.

How the visit goes

Every chimney sweeping visit in Tracyton follows the same order: protect the room first, report last, and 3 steps between that the tech will explain as he goes. Chimney sweeps pair with carpet cleaning in the same room, because the hearth area is where soot ends up. That is the same call we get from Tracyton regularly.

What we will tell you honestly

Pricing in Tracyton

Tracyton is about 65 minutes from our yard in South Park, in Kitsap County, which is subject to a trip fee on top of the service price.
