Caps, Dampers & Liners in Federal Way
A good cap keeps Federal Way's rain, leaves and wildlife out of your flue — critical near the wooded greenbelts and wetlands where raccoons and birds are always looking for a way in. We install stainless steel caps with spark arrestors and animal guards sized to your chimney.
Inside, a sound liner is what keeps combustion gases contained and your home safe. We inspect for cracked clay tiles and corroded metal liners, then install code-compliant stainless steel liners that handle the heat from heavy wood-stove use.

Caps, Dampers & Liners — your questions
Do I really need a chimney cap?
Yes. Without one, rain accelerates masonry damage and animals and debris clog your flue. In Federal Way's wet, wooded neighborhoods a stainless cap with an animal guard is one of the best-value upgrades you can make.
How do I know if my liner needs replacing?
Cracked or flaking flue tiles, a rusted metal liner, white staining outside the chimney, or a failed inspection are all signs. We video-scan the flue so you can see the condition yourself.
My damper won't close — can you fix it?
Usually yes. We repair or replace throat and top-mount dampers; a top-sealing damper also helps keep Federal Way's cold, damp air out when the fireplace isn't in use.
