What's included

Every creosote removal we do in University Place includes:

  • An honest staging of the buildup — Stage 2 or glazed Stage 3

  • The flue re-inspected once the creosote is out
  • Photographs proving the walls came clean
  • Straight talk on what caused it and how to keep it from returning

Why University Place homes need it

Lakeside air off Puget Sound (Chambers Bay) keeps University Place masonry wet well into spring. Paired with mid-century and newer single-family homes, that is why so many University Place homeowners stay ahead of creosote removal instead of waiting for a leak.

Why do University Place chimneys need creosote removal more often?
