Kent Chimney Sweep & Repair
Kent stretches from the damp Green River valley floor up to the family neighborhoods of East Hill and West Hill, and its chimneys tell that story — newer suburban builds, '70s-'90s tract homes, and plenty of hard-working wood stoves. We sweep, inspect, and repair them all, by appointment, with clear reports and pricing you can trust.

Green River valley damp & ground moisture
Down on the Kent valley floor near the Green River and the industrial flats, persistent ground moisture and fog keep chimneys damp longer than the hills. That lingering wet soaks into crowns and mortar and feeds creosote buildup in cooler flues. We seal crowns and waterproof masonry to beat the valley's stubborn damp.

East Hill & West Hill tract chimneys from the '70s-'90s
Kent's East Hill and West Hill neighborhoods boomed with tract housing in the 1970s through the 1990s, many with prefab metal chimney chases and factory-built fireplaces. These age differently than brick — chase covers rust, caps fail, and flashing leaks. We service and reseal these factory systems, not just masonry.

Family wood-burning across the hills
Plenty of Kent families on East Hill, the Benson area, and out toward Lake Meridian still burn wood through the wet winter to keep heating bills down. That regular burning stacks creosote quickly in cooler valley-influenced flues. We clean them and fit proper caps to keep things safe and drawing well.

Hillside rain runoff & freeze-thaw on the slopes
On Kent's hillsides — Scenic Hill, East Hill's upper streets, and the slopes above the valley — heavy rain runoff saturates chimney crowns that then crack on freezing nights. The freeze-thaw cycle is relentless on exposed hilltop chimneys. We waterproof and repoint before that cracking spreads into the structure.
