Chimney sweep logs do not sweep chimneys. They loosen some creosote - which then falls where a brush and vacuum still have to collect it.
Chimney Company in Spokane Valley, WA
Chimney inspection in Spokane Valley starts with a hard truth about the housing here: most of these homes were built to burn wood, and many still do it as a working heat source through a long, cold winter. That means a real assessment of creosote, liner condition, and draft matters more here than in places where a fireplace is decoration. We sweep, inspect, and repair as one company, using professional-grade parts from DuraFlex, HeatShield, Olympia Chimney, and others. Call (844) 734-4138 to book an inspection.
Why Spokane Valley Homes Are Different
Spokane Valley sits in a high-desert cold-air basin, and that single fact shapes almost every chimney we look at. Thousands of homes went up in the 1960s and 1970s with prefab or masonry fireplaces and wood stoves built as primary or backup heat, not ambiance. When the inversion settles in and traps cold air under fog for days, those stoves run hard. When the power goes out, they run harder still.
That pattern leaves dense, glazed creosote, the kind a routine brush pass can’t touch. In the older ranch and split-level stock, especially where stoves get choked down overnight for a slow burn, we regularly find third-degree creosote rather than light soot. Exterior masonry chimneys from that era often lack modern liners. Newer east-side subdivisions bring factory-built chimneys and gas inserts with their own venting needs. The work across Spokane Valley is heavy-use wood systems, and it rewards a specialist who reads the burn pattern and the flue, not just the firebox.

Our Main Spokane Valley Services
Two jobs come up more than any other across Spokane Valley: cleaning out what a hard-burning season leaves behind, and repairing the liners and crowns that heavy use wears down.
Chimney Sweep in Spokane Valley
A sweep here is rarely a light cleaning. With stoves and fireplaces running as working heat through inversion season, creosote builds fast and dense, so the job often means rotary work to break down glazed deposits rather than a quick brush. We clean the flue, firebox, smoke chamber, and cap, then haul the debris out with us. Summer winds and wildfire smoke also leave soot and debris packed into caps and flues, which we clear in the same visit. For the full breakdown of what a proper cleaning covers, see Chimney Sweep in Spokane Valley.
Chimney Repair in Spokane Valley
Repair in the Valley usually traces back to heat and age. Original prefab inserts and older wood stoves from the 1970s and 80s often need relining to modern standards, and exterior masonry chimneys take a beating from freeze-thaw cycles and persistent winter fog. We reline with DuraFlex stainless systems, resurface damaged flues with HeatShield, and rebuild crowns, caps, and chase covers with Gelco and Famco components. The full scope lives on our Chimney Repair in Spokane Valley page.
Chimney Inspection in Spokane Valley
Chimney inspection in Spokane Valley is the starting point for everything else we do, because the homes here demand it. Mid-century and 1970s ranch and split-level houses carry exterior masonry chimneys and original prefab inserts that have absorbed decades of hard burning, and the Valley’s inversion-trapped winters push those systems to their limit. An inspection tells you what you actually have before anyone recommends work. A full Chimney Inspection covers the flue, firebox, smoke chamber, cap, crown, and all accessible venting, with photos you see as we go.
Chimney Fire
Signs you need it
You need a post-fire inspection after any chimney fire, and the warning signs before one include glazed creosote, a roaring sound from the flue, or dark staining around the chimney top.
What it costs in Spokane Valley
A chimney fire assessment typically runs $150 to $400, and if the fire damaged the flue, relining with HeatShield or a DuraFlex liner adds $1,800 to $5,500 on top.
How we do it
We inspect the entire flue and firebox with a camera, map the damage from heat and creosote ignition, and then give you a written scope for cleaning, resurfacing, or relining based on what the images actually show.
Level 2 Chimney Inspection
Signs you need it
A Level 2 inspection is called for when you’ve had a chimney fire, changed fuel type or appliance, bought the home, or noticed a draft problem that a basic look can’t explain.
What it costs in Spokane Valley
A Level 2 inspection in Spokane Valley typically costs $175 to $450, depending on how much of the flue and venting needs camera access.
How we do it
We run a video camera the full length of the flue, check every accessible joint and connection, examine the attic and roof-level components where reachable, and hand you a photo record with the findings written out.
What Chimney Inspection Costs in Spokane Valley
| Item | Typical range in Spokane Valley |
|---|---|
| Standard chimney inspection | $125 – $300 |
| Level 2 inspection with camera | $175 – $450 |
| Chimney fire damage assessment | $150 – $400 |
How long does a chimney inspection take in Spokane Valley?
Most inspections take 45 minutes to 1.5 hours. A Level 2 with camera work on a long flue runs closer to the upper end, especially in older ranch homes with exterior masonry chimneys that need extra checking.
Can you inspect the chimney without sweeping it first?
We can, but we usually sweep first so the camera sees bare flue instead of creosote. In heavily used Spokane Valley wood stoves, that order gives a far more accurate read on liner condition.
Brands We Service in Spokane Valley
We work with DuraFlex liner systems, HeatShield flue resurfacing, and Olympia Chimney and Copperfield venting components, because these are the professional lines that hold up in a heavy-burning Valley home. We don’t stock parts in a truck; we source what each job needs and install it. See our brands for the full picture.

What Spokane Valley Customers Say
"Fireplace had never drawn properly since we moved in. He found the damper was only opening halfway due to a bent linkage and fixed it in ten minutes."
- Jennifer Delaney"Cap keeps the birds out now, which after two springs of scratching noises is worth every penny."
- Danielle Parker"Crown was cracked and taking water. Repaired it rather than quoting a rebuild, which the previous company had pushed hard for."
