Why clean and inspect chimney systems? Preventative maintenance is always more cost effective than repairs that could have been avoided. Annual inspections are critical for chimneys used regularly, but even if used occasionally, a chimney system (the appliance, any necessary connecting pipe and the chimney itself) should be routinely inspected and cleaned if necessary.

Your chimney cap is far from sight, but clearly exposed to potential problems. Our chimney caps consist entirely of stainless steel: the top, screen, base, screws, welds, etc., are high-grade stainless steel. A chimney cap and properly constructed chimney crown prevent damaging water penetration and deny access to birds, other animals, and debris.
Seems kind of odd, doesn't it? Water damage to a chimney. You might think something as supposedly as strong and stout as a chimney wouldn't need protection from water. But water is extremely powerful - just witness the Grand Canyon! Your chimney is constantly exposed to weather - and often that appears as water in one form or another: usually rain or snow.
A flue is the long shaft leading from your firebox up to the protrusion at the top of your chimney. It is composed of several flue tiles or a type of liner (stainless steel or aluminum are common types of liners) which line the chimney if the flue tiles from the original building are cracked. A woodstove insert is a woodstove that has been inserted into the firebox of a regular open fireplace.

A month ago I made an appt for chimney & fireplace cleaning & inspection. On Wed. I received an Email confirmation of my appt on Fri 9/3. Correct time, address, ... I moved everything away from the area as requested. Friday I waited for over an hour and a half - NO SHOW. I called ECC and was first told I didn't have an appt. I said I did and had a confirmation email. She said "that doesn't mean anything". She checked and found they had cancelled my appt. I said I didn't get any notice, no call etc and had prepared and waited for their visit. Was told they had no techs in Seattle then. Later she

I bought my first home in Everett in 2015, hired ECC to come and make sure my fireplace was good to go for my first fall in my new house. After they replaced both dampers, and the crown and a few other things for a few thousand dollars, my fireplace still did not operate correctly, brining tons of smoke in my house. After going back and forth with them about their lack of availability I gave up. Its been three years and I still have not used my fireplace. I called today and asked for an appointment for a test fire. Their earliest appointment was December 13th, more than two months away. I asked

Wayne and the crew at Emerald City were absolutely fantastic. When I first called I spoke to Jill who is extremely pleasant and organized and very nice to converse with. We got on the schedule right away. We were a bit concerned that our chimney rebuild was going to cost a fortune; but Emerald City was able to do it extremely affordably and we have a nice new chimney we can be proud of...and it's safe again! Thanks to Wayne and his awesome masons for doing one heckuva great job!
