Frequently asked questions
Will sweeping make a mess in my house?
No. We lay drop cloths, seal the fireplace opening, and run HEPA vacuums the entire time — your hearth stays spotless.
How fast can you get here?
Most Shoreline appointments are available within a few days, and often same-week even in peak fall season.
What is a Level 2 inspection and when do I need one?
A Level 2 adds a full video scan of the flue. It's required when buying or selling a home, after a chimney fire, or after any major storm damage.
Are you licensed and insured?
Fully. We carry liability insurance, and every technician is certified and background-checked.
My chimney leaks every time it rains. Can you fix it?
Yes — with nine months of rain a year, leaks are our most common Shoreline call. Most come from a cracked crown, missing cap, or failed flashing. We find the true source and seal it, not just the symptom.
Is moss on my chimney a problem?
It is. Moss holds water against the brick and crown, which freezes, expands, and cracks the masonry. We remove it, repair any damage, and apply a breathable water repellent.
Do repairs come with a warranty?
Yes — masonry and cap work carries a workmanship guarantee, and waterproofing treatments include a 10-year material warranty.
Do you provide free quotes?
Yes — repair quotes are free and written, with photos of what we found and the final price quoted before any work begins.
How often should a chimney be swept in Western Washington?
Yearly. Damp, slow-burning firewood produces more creosote than dry hardwood, so Shoreline chimneys that burn through the wet season usually need a sweep every year and an inspection every fall.
