Figueroa Chimney Co provides chimney sweep services in Auburn, including standard chimney sweep, creosote removal & deep clean, chimney inspection & safety check, and more. Every job is handled by licensed, insured technicians with upfront written pricing, and backed by a workmanship guarantee, with free estimates for all of Auburn and nearby areas.
Auburn’s older homes and newer builds alike need this basic service at least once a year, especially if you’ve burned wood since last season. Our crew uses rotary brushes and vacuum systems to pull out every trace of buildup, including stubborn tar-like creosote that can ignite at 1,100°F. We don’t just sweep, we check for cracks, blockages, or signs of moisture damage that could void your warranty or insurance claim. Pricing starts at $120 for a single-story chimney, with add-ons for stubborn buildup or hard-to-reach flues. No surprises: we’ll text you a photo of the inside of your chimney after the job so you know it’s done right.
Call about this serviceIf your chimney has that glossy black coating or hard, tar-like chunks, you’re dealing with stage 2 or 3 creosote, a fire waiting to happen. Our team uses high-pressure air systems and specialized tools to dissolve and remove it without damaging your masonry. We’ve seen Auburn’s older brick chimneys (like those near the historic downtown) turn into fire hazards because homeowners skipped sweeps for years. This service costs more upfront but saves you from a chimney fire or costly repairs later. We’ll also inspect your damper and smoke chamber for damage caused by the buildup, and we’ll tell you flat-out if your chimney needs a liner or repair.
Call about this serviceAuburn’s rainy season and windstorms can crack chimney crowns or dislodge mortar, but you won’t see the damage until it’s too late. Our inspections include checking for spiders’ nests, animal debris, rusted caps, and structural weaknesses that insurance companies often overlook. If you’re selling your home, a clean bill of health from us means no last-minute surprises for buyers. We also verify that your chimney meets Washington State’s safety codes, something many DIY sweeps miss. Pricing is $95 for a basic inspection, with a full report including photos and next-step recommendations. No vague ‘it looks fine’ answers, just the facts.
Call about this serviceThat draft coming from your fireplace? The soot stains on your ceiling? Those are signs your chimney’s not sealing right, and Auburn’s humidity makes rust and mortar erosion worse over time. We patch cracks with high-temperature mortar, replace rusted caps, and install stainless steel chimney caps to keep out rain and critters. If your chimney liner’s cracked or collapsed (common in older homes near the Green River), we’ll recommend the right repair or relining solution, and we’ll get you permits if needed. Labor and materials start at $350 for minor fixes, with full transparency on costs upfront. We won’t upsell you on a full reline if a patch job will do.
Call about this serviceAuburn’s wooded areas mean wildlife sees your chimney as a cozy hideout. A single squirrel’s nest can block your flue completely, and the droppings create a fire hazard. Our crew removes every trace of nesting material, including insulation shreds and urine-soaked debris, then seals the entry points with stainless steel mesh. We’ve pulled out nests from chimneys in Green River and Black Diamond too, but Auburn’s older homes near the foothills seem to attract more critters. Pricing starts at $150 for a basic removal, with add-ons if the damage requires repairs. We’ll also show you how to install a chimney cap to keep them out for good.
Call about this serviceSmoke filling your living room? A roaring fire that won’t stay lit? That’s a blockage, and it’s a fire waiting to happen. Our crew uses high-powered vacuums and flexible rods to break up and remove obstructions, whether it’s creosote, debris, or even a fallen branch from a storm. We’ve cleared chimneys in Auburn after windstorms knocked down trees near the Tiger Mountain area. Pricing depends on the blockage, but we’ll never leave you stranded with a non-working fireplace. We also check for hidden damage caused by the blockage, like cracked flue tiles or rusted connectors. Call us first, don’t try to burn it off yourself.
