"We bought our first home in Federal Way last year, and our chimney had never been cleaned. Ebony’s team was patient enough to explain everything in simple terms—no scary jargon—and their inspection found a small crack we’d never noticed. They fixed it right then and even showed us how to use our fireplace safely. Now we light it every winter without a worry. Their dryer vent cleaning was a game-changer too; our dryer runs twice as fast!"
"As a renter, I didn’t think I’d need a chimney sweep, but after a few smoky fires, I called Ebony. They were quick, thorough, and even checked for carbon monoxide risks. The best part? They gave me tips on how to burn wood properly to avoid future issues. Now I know what to look for—and my landlord was impressed when I showed them the before-and-after photos. Federal Way’s damp air makes this a must, and they made it easy."
"Our dryer had been running hotter and slower for months, and I thought it was just age. Ebony’s team found a vent clogged with lint—so much that they had to pull out years of buildup. After their cleaning, our dryer’s like new. They also checked our chimney while they were there and caught a small issue before it became a big problem. Their attention to detail saved us a headache (and a potential fire hazard). Highly recommend for any Federal Way homeowner!"
"I’ve lived in Federal Way for 20 years, and Ebony is the only chimney sweep I trust. They’re honest about what they find—no upselling—and their work is top-notch.

For a local business, their professionalism and reliability stand out. If you want a job done right, call them."
"We’re new parents in Federal Way, and with a wood stove and dryer running constantly, we needed a reliable chimney sweep. Ebony’s team was gentle with our home, explained everything to us in plain English, and even gave us a free safety guide for our kids. Their dryer vent cleaning was a lifesaver—our dryer was overheating, and they fixed it in no time. We’ll be calling them every year now. They’re the real deal."
"I’ve had chimney sweeps come and go, but Ebony is different. They treat your home like it’s theirs, and they don’t rush the job. When they found a rusted cap on our chimney, they didn’t just clean around it—they replaced it on the spot. Their dryer vent cleaning was just as thorough.

Schedule a **chimney sweep** right away. Even if the fireplace looks clean, old homes often have hidden creosote buildup that can ignite. Federal Way’s damp climate means chimneys dry out slower, trapping moisture and soot. A professional cleaning removes hazards and ensures your first fires are safe. We’ll also check for cracks or blockages—common in older homes—that could let harmful gases into your living space.
No, it’s not normal—and it’s a fire risk. Federal Way’s high humidity makes dryer vents a breeding ground for mold and lint buildup, which can clog your dryer and even cause overheating. A blocked vent forces heat to escape into your home, wasting energy and damaging your unit. We’ll clear the blockage, sanitize the vent, and show you how to reduce moisture buildup between cleanings.
At least once a year, but more if you burn wood frequently. Federal Way’s wet winters slow creosote drying, so buildup happens faster. If you use your fireplace weekly, we recommend sweeping every 3–4 months. During our inspection, we’ll assess the creosote level and give you a personalized schedule. Skipping cleanings increases fire risks—especially in older homes where chimneys may not dry as efficiently.
Not reliably. What you see might be a thin layer of soot, but creosote—especially the flammable Stage 2 or 3—can hide behind bends or in crevices. Federal Way’s wood-burning stoves often produce more creosote than gas fireplaces, and even a small amount can pose a serious fire hazard. Our brushes and cameras reach every inch, including hard-to-see areas, to ensure a thorough clean.
A **chimney sweep** cleans the flue and removes creosote, while an inspection checks for structural damage, blockages, or safety issues. In Federal Way, many homeowners skip inspections because they assume a clean chimney is safe—but cracks or animal nests can go unnoticed. We offer both services: cleaning removes hazards, and inspections catch problems before they become costly repairs.
It depends on your policy. Some insurers in Washington state require annual chimney inspections to maintain coverage, especially in areas with high wildfire risks like Federal Way’s nearby forests. Even if cleaning isn’t mandatory, many homeowners find it’s a smart investment to avoid claims. We’ll provide a detailed report for your records—proof that you’re proactive about home safety.
Draftiness often signals a chimney issue. Federal Way’s windy afternoons can pull cold air through gaps, but a properly sized flue should still draw smoke upward. If your fireplace struggles to light or smoke spills into the room, your chimney might be too small, blocked, or damaged. We’ll test the draw and recommend solutions—like a chimney cap or relining—to improve efficiency and safety.
Pricing varies based on chimney height and buildup, but most Federal Way homes pay between $150–$300 for a standard sweep. We offer upfront pricing with no hidden fees, and we accept credit cards, cash, or even trade services for regular clients. Many first-time homeowners in Federal Way appreciate our transparency—you’ll get a written estimate before we start, with no surprises.
