Winter in Seattle can be beautiful but it’s also the season when fireplaces get heavy use. Before you light that first cozy fire, ask yourself: Is your chimney ready?
At Seattle Chimney Service, we specialize in Seattle chimney inspections and repairs, helping local homeowners stay safe, warm, and worry-free all winter long.
Why Winter-Ready Chimneys Are a Must in Seattle
Even if your chimney looks fine from the outside, hidden problems can lurk within:
- Creosote buildup—a major fire hazard
- Cracks or damage in the masonry—leading to leaks or structural issues
- Blocked flues or vents—causing smoke or carbon monoxide to enter your home
A professional chimney inspection in Seattle can catch these issues early, saving you money and keeping your home safe.
Our Step-By-Step Seattle Chimney Inspection
We follow a thorough, three-layer inspection process to make sure your fireplace is winter-ready:
- Exterior Check: Inspecting the chimney crown, bricks, and flashing for cracks or water damage.
- Flue & Firebox Inspection: Using advanced video cameras to detect hidden blockages, creosote, and flue damage.
- Damper & Venting Review: Ensuring proper airflow to prevent smoke or carbon monoxide from entering your home.
By the end, you’ll know exactly what your chimney needs to handle Seattle winters safely.
