Creosote buildup is the leading cause of chimney fires in Washington State, and Lacey's damp Pacific Northwest climate accelerates its formation faster than homeowners expect. Our chimney sweeping service uses professional-grade rotary brushes, high-powered HEPA vacuums, and video inspection cameras to remove all three stages of creosote along with leaves, bird nests, and other debris. We protect your home's interior with drop cloths and seal-off systems so your living space stays spotless. After every sweep, you receive a written condition report detailing what we found and any recommended follow-up. Most cleanings take 60–90 minutes and can be booked same-week. Annual sweeping is the single most effective step you can take to prevent chimney fires and carbon monoxide issues.

David Chimney performs NFPA 211-standard Level 1, 2, and 3 inspections tailored to your situation — whether you're doing routine annual maintenance, buying or selling a home, or recovering from a chimney fire or seismic event. Our Level 2 inspections include a full video scan of the flue interior, giving you clear visual evidence of any defects. Every inspection concludes with a written report and straightforward explanation of findings. We never recommend repairs you don't need, and we're happy to walk you through the camera footage in real time so you see exactly what we see.

Without an intact liner, combustion gases — including deadly carbon monoxide — can seep through masonry into living spaces, and heat can transfer directly to framing, dramatically raising fire risk. David Chimney installs and repairs stainless steel flexible liners, rigid liners, and cast-in-place liner systems for wood-burning fireplaces, gas appliances, and oil furnaces. All liner work meets or exceeds Washington State building codes and manufacturer specifications. We size every liner correctly for the appliance it serves, ensuring proper draft and efficient combustion. Our liner installations come with a written workmanship warranty, and we pull any required permits so your installation is fully documented for insurance and resale purposes.

A properly installed chimney cap keeps rain, snow, birds, raccoons, and debris out of your flue, while a solid chimney crown seals the top of the masonry stack and directs water away from the flue opening. David Chimney fabricates and installs stainless steel and copper chimney caps custom-fitted to your flue dimensions, and we repair or rebuild deteriorating crowns using professional-grade, elastomeric crown coat products that flex with freeze-thaw cycles. Ignoring a cracked crown or missing cap leads to accelerated mortar deterioration, spalling brick, and interior water damage that costs far more to fix. We offer free crown and cap inspections with every chimney service call.

David Chimney's masonry repair services include tuckpointing, brick replacement, full or partial chimney rebuilds, and application of penetrating masonry waterproofing sealers. Our masons match mortar color and texture to your existing chimney so repairs blend naturally. We assess the full extent of deterioration before quoting, ensuring you understand exactly what's needed and why. Tuckpointing is particularly cost-effective when caught early — restoring joints before bricks absorb water can extend a chimney's life by decades. All masonry work is performed by experienced craftsmen and backed by our written workmanship guarantee.
Request this service →The U.S. Fire Administration estimates that clothes dryers cause thousands of house fires annually, and a clogged dryer vent is the primary culprit. Lint accumulates in vent ductwork over time, restricting airflow, forcing your dryer to run hotter and longer, and creating a ready fuel source for ignition. David Chimney's dryer vent cleaning service uses flexible auger brushes and high-powered extraction equipment to clear lint, debris, and any bird nests from the full length of your duct run — including long, complex routes common in newer Lacey construction. We also inspect vent termination points and dampers to ensure proper airflow. Most jobs take under an hour. We recommend annual cleaning for average households and more frequent service for large families or pet owners. Call (425) 439-7672 to schedule.
