Roy’s dry winters might fool you into thinking your chimney is safe—but **creosote buildup is a silent killer**. Our **certified chimney sweep** uses **rotary brush systems and high-pressure air** to scrub away even the toughest deposits, then inspects for **structural damage, improper lining, or blocked flues** that could let deadly carbon monoxide seep into your home. We don’t just clean; we **verify your chimney meets Washington State’s strict safety codes** before you light another fire. **Pro tip for Roy homeowners**: If your chimney hasn’t been swept since last winter, schedule now—**creosote hardens in cold weather**, making it far riskier to burn. **Free digital inspection report** included with every service.
Request this service →Did you know **Roy’s damp air** makes dryer vents a breeding ground for **lint fires and mold**? Our **licensed dryer vent technicians** use **industrial-grade tools** to **disassemble, clean, and reseal** every inch of your vent system—**eliminating fire risks, improving drying times, and cutting your energy bills**. We also check for **improper vent routing** (a common Roy issue in older homes) that can push heat and moisture back into your laundry room. **Warning sign**: If your dryer takes **longer than 45 minutes per load** or smells like burning, your vent is clogged—and **one spark could ignite your home**. We offer **annual maintenance plans** to keep your dryer running safely year-round.
Request this service →Carbon monoxide **kills 430 Americans yearly**, and **Roy’s older homes** with unlined chimneys or improperly vented dryers are at higher risk. Our **CO safety inspection** includes **portable detector testing** near your fireplace and dryer, plus a **flue pressure check** to ensure toxic gases are venting outside. We’ve found **hidden leaks in Roy homes** where homeowners thought their systems were fine—**until we tested**. If we detect issues, we **don’t just warn you; we fix them** with **sealants, relining, or vent repairs** to meet **WA State Residential Code**. **Pro move**: Pair this with your annual chimney sweep for **total peace of mind**—especially if you’ve noticed **dizziness or headaches near your fireplace**.
Request this service →Roy’s **harsh winters** take a toll on chimneys—**freeze-thaw cycles crack masonry**, and **acidic creosote eats away at liners** over time. If your chimney’s liner is damaged, **hot gases and CO can escape into your home**, turning your fireplace into a **death trap**. We **inspect with a **chimney camera** to assess damage, then **reline with durable ceramic or stainless steel** to **block sparks, heat, and toxic fumes**. **Signs you need relining**: Rust stains on your fireplace hearth, **whistling or backdrafting when you light a fire**, or **soot appearing inside your home**. **Good news**: Relining is **far cheaper than rebuilding**—and **far safer than ignoring the problem**. We offer **financing options** for larger repairs.

Our **stove-specific service** includes **cleaning the combustion chamber, inspecting door gaskets, and adjusting air intake** for **cleaner, hotter burns**—which means **less creosote buildup** and **better heat output**. We’ve seen **Roy stoves with gasket gaps big enough to fit a quarter**, letting **sparks escape and CO seep in**. **Pro tip**: If your stove **smokes excessively or takes forever to heat**, it’s time for a tune-up. We also **test for proper clearance** from combustible walls—**WA code requires 16–36 inches**, depending on materials—and **seal gaps with fire-resistant caulk**. **Bonus**: A well-maintained stove **burns 20% more efficiently**, saving you money on cordwood.
Request this service →If your Roy home was built **before 2000**, chances are your dryer vent is a **fire waiting to happen**. **Flexible foil ducts** (common in older homes) **collapse, trap lint, and overheat**—**causing 2,900 house fires yearly**. We **replace them with rigid metal ducts** and **reroute vents outside** (not into attics or crawl spaces, a **WA code violation**). **Signs your vent needs an upgrade**: Your dryer **shuts off mid-cycle**, your laundry room feels **unusually hot**, or you’ve seen **lint fires in your lint trap**. **Upgrading isn’t just safer—it’s smarter**: **Dryer fires cost Roy homeowners an average of $18,000 in damages**. We offer **same-day upgrades** with **lifetime warranties** on our work.
