Our inspections catch the problems you can't see from the living room — cracked flue tiles, a failing crown, water intrusion, or creosote glaze hiding around a bend. With Federal Way's wet winters, water damage is the issue we find most often, especially on chimneys near the water in Dash Point and Dumas Bay.
We document everything with photos and give you a clear, plain-English report. If you're buying or selling a home off South 320th or Campus Drive, that report is exactly what your agent and inspector will want.

Chimney Inspection — your questions
What level of inspection do I need?
A Level 1 inspection covers an annual check on a system you use regularly with no changes. We recommend a Level 2 when buying or selling a home, after a chimney fire, or if you've changed your heating appliance.
Can you inspect before a home sale?
Absolutely. Pre-sale chimney inspections are common in Federal Way's market, and our written report with photos gives buyers and agents confidence.
How long does an inspection take?
A standard Level 1 inspection takes about 45 minutes to an hour. A Level 2 with video scanning of the flue takes a bit longer.
