What we do
Sweeping, inspection, relining and masonry — one local crew for the whole chimney.
A chimney inspection tells you whether the flue, liner and masonry are sound before a fire, a home sale or another winter puts them to the test.

A Tacoma chimney sweep clears out the soot and creosote a burning season leaves behind, before that residue gets the chance to catch.

A stainless-steel chimney cap keeps rain, birds and stray embers out of the flue, for far less than the water damage it heads off.

Most homes in Fircrest, Bonney Lake and DuPont heat primarily with utility gas, per Census ACS 2020–2024 estimates, and gas fireplaces are common across Tacoma too. They're easy to live with, but they aren't maintenance-free. Dust, spiders, worn pilot parts and loosened venting build up over a year and show up as a pilot that won't stay lit, a lazy yellow flame or, worst of all, a carbon monoxide problem. Our annual service cleans the burner, pilot and valve, checks the venting, and tests for CO so the unit is ready before the cold arrives.
Damp air near Commencement Bay is hard on metal parts, and burners and vent components in bayside homes can corrode sooner. A yearly service keeps that from sneaking up on you.
Burning clean isn't the same as needing no care. Dust, webs and loose vent connections cause most pilot failures and poor flames, and they can also create a carbon monoxide risk.
Over a season, dust and spider webs settle on the burner and pilot, and vent connections can loosen or partly block. Any of those can keep the unit from lighting, leave soot on the glass, or send carbon monoxide into the room. The yearly CO and venting check is the most direct way to find that before anyone breathes it. And if a unit is being swapped out, local rules apply: Puyallup, for example, requires a mechanical permit before installing, replacing, altering or relocating a gas stove, gas logs or gas piping.
How it works
Burner, pilot, valve, venting and ignition are looked over.
Burner, pilot, glass and logs are cleaned for a proper flame.
The venting is checked and a CO reading confirms safe operation.
We set the unit for efficient burning and dependable starts.

Yes. A yearly tune-up keeps it safe and reliable and is the best chance to catch venting or carbon monoxide problems early.
Usually. Most no-start problems trace back to a dirty pilot, a worn thermocouple or a valve issue, all of which we service.
A standard gas fireplace service runs $189–$475. Parts cost extra only if something needs replacing, and we quote them before doing the work.
The burn-ban stages Puget Sound Clean Air Agency uses target wood-burning devices and pellet stoves; gas fireplaces don't appear in them. Still, read the agency's current notice before lighting anything.
Yes, if it's poorly maintained or the vent is blocked. That's why our yearly service always includes a CO and venting check.
