Our Fireplace Services team knows Spokane’s older housing stock inside and out. We’ve spent 11 years working on the exact chimneys you’re dealing with — the original 1920s brick flues in South Hill bungalows, the 1970s wood-stove inserts crammed into craftsman fireplaces, the copper dampers that freeze solid after the first hard freeze in October. Anthony Perez leads every job personally, so the person quoting your work is the same one doing it.

Why Premier Chimney Cleaning Greater Spokane Is Spokane’s Preferred Fireplace Services Company
Nearly 900 homeowners have reviewed us across 892 verified reviews, and that 4.7-star rating reflects something simple: Anthony leads every job, start to finish. No subcontractors, no rotating crews, no surprises. When you book with Premier Chimney Cleaning Greater Spokane, you’re getting 11 years of chimney-only specialization — not a handyman who happens to own a brush.
We handle it start to finish, from annual sweeps to complete liner rebuilds. That matters in Spokane because your chimney isn’t a side project — it’s the system keeping your home warm through 49 inches of annual snow and five months of hard freezes. We work with the right material for your chimney, stocking HeatShield refractory mortar, Gelco caps, and Olympia Chimney liner components so Spokane customers aren’t waiting weeks for parts to ship.
Our response time to Spokane proper is same-day or next-day for emergencies, and we schedule routine work within a week even during fall rush. We know the neighborhoods — the tight alley access in Browne’s Addition, the steep driveways on South Hill, the original masonry in Perry District homes built before reinforced chimneys were standard. That local knowledge saves time and prevents callbacks.
Our Fireplace Services in Spokane
Wood Burning Fireplace Service
Spokane’s continental cold winters drive heavy wood-burning use, but the Spokane Regional Clean Air Agency enforces seasonal wood-burning curtailment days — Stage 1 and Stage 2 burn bans — when winter temperature inversions trap smoke in Spokane’s river basin. Homeowners who rely on fireplaces and wood stoves for supplemental heat can only legally burn on ‘green’ days, making a clean, certified chimney the difference between using that appliance all winter or losing access to it on the coldest nights. A dirty chimney with excessive creosote doesn’t just burn inefficiently; it can fail SRCAA visual emissions standards, flagging your home for inspection.
Last winter we worked on a 1924 craftsman bungalow in Browne’s Addition where a homeowner had been burning wood for years without realizing the original clay flue liner had cracked from freeze-thaw cycles. We installed a new DuraFlex stainless steel liner and performed a mid-season cleaning, which let them stay compliant with SRCAA burn bans all January. That’s the kind of proactive work that keeps Spokane homes warm and legal.
Fireplace Insert Installation & Service
Spokane’s older neighborhoods carry a dense stock of 1900s–1940s craftsman bungalows and late-Victorian homes with original unreinforced brick chimneys that are now 80–120 years old. A large number of these had metal wood-stove inserts added through the existing fireplace during the 1970s energy crisis, creating double-use flue configurations that accumulate creosote faster and are more complex to clean and inspect. We see this constantly in South Hill and Perry District homes — inserts that were “dropped in” by a previous owner with no proper liner connection, venting partially into the masonry cavity.
Our insert work includes proper liner sizing, connection to existing flues or full liner replacement, and combustion-air verification. We install inserts from reputable manufacturers and ensure they’re matched to your chimney’s actual capacity, not just what fits through the opening.
Damper Repair & Replacement
Copperfield dampers on vintage fireplaces corrode from acidic wood smoke and freeze stuck in the open or closed position during subzero spells. A damper that won’t close costs you hundreds in heated air escaping up the flue; one that won’t open risks smoke backup and carbon monoxide exposure. In Spokane’s extended heating season, that energy loss adds up fast.
We repair and replace throat dampers, top-sealing dampers, and the specialized hardware found in historic Spokane homes. Anthony carries replacement damper assemblies and can often rebuild the original mechanism if the frame is still sound — important in Browne’s Addition and South Hill homes where homeowners want to preserve original character.

Gas Fireplace Service
Gas fireplaces in Spokane see heavy use from October through March, and the constant cycling wears on valves, thermopiles, and ignition systems. We service standing pilot and electronic ignition systems, clean burner ports, check gas pressure, and verify venting integrity. Even gas units need annual inspection — the venting system still collects debris, and Spokane’s freeze-thaw cycles can crack exterior termination caps.
Trusted Brands We Service in Spokane
We stock parts and materials from HeatShield, Gelco, and Olympia Chimney for fast turnaround on Spokane jobs. HeatShield’s cerfractory foam lets us resurface damaged flue liners without a full tear-out — critical in historic homes where preserving the original structure matters. Gelco caps and screening keep Spokane’s heavy snow and spring debris out of flues. Olympia Chimney’s stainless steel liners handle our temperature swings without the thermal fatigue that cracks lesser materials. We don’t order mystery parts from a catalog; we keep inventory on hand so your chimney isn’t down for weeks waiting on shipping.
Common Fireplace Services Problems We See in Spokane Homes
- Mortar joint spalling in unreinforced brick chimneys accelerates during Spokane’s 49-inch snow winters, causing flue gas leaks and carbon monoxide risks. We repoint with heat-resistant mortar rated for freeze-thaw cycling, not standard Type N that’ll crack again by February.
- Double-use flue configurations from 1970s wood-stove inserts in older chimneys create hidden creosote bridges that standard brushes miss. Our rotary power sweeping and camera inspection catch buildup in the offset connections that flat brushes can’t reach.
- Original clay flue liners cracked by thermal shock are common in South Hill and Perry District homes where decades of heating-season use has stressed the material. We verify liner integrity with video scan before declaring any system safe for another season.
- Damper corrosion and freeze-seizure hits hardest in January and February when Spokane sees its coldest nights. We lubricate, rebuild, or replace — and we check the damper as part of every service call, not as an upsell.

FAQs — Fireplace Services in Spokane
Spokane’s longer, colder heating season and freeze-thaw cycles stress chimneys far more than Seattle’s mild marine climate. A single Spokane winter of regular use can produce dangerous third-degree creosote buildup that might take two or three Seattle winters to accumulate. Book your inspection in early fall — call (833) 749-2788 before the first curtailment-season forecast.
Yes, we repair and rebuild original dampers when the frame is structurally sound, and we fabricate custom solutions when corrosion has gone too far. Anthony has worked on dozens of South Hill homes with century-old hardware and knows which mechanisms can be saved versus replaced. Call us at (833) 749-2788 for a hands-on assessment.
Hidden creosote bridging at the insert-to-flue connection point, caused by 1970s-era installations that created a double-use configuration without proper liner sizing. Standard brushes miss this buildup; our rotary power sweeping and camera inspection catch it. Schedule a camera inspection if you haven’t had one in the last two years — call (833) 749-2788.
Yes, we specialize in the original masonry and legacy flue configurations found in Perry District’s 1900s–1940s housing stock. We preserve original character where possible and use compatible materials like HeatShield for liner resurfacing rather than destructive tear-outs. Call (833) 749-2788 to discuss your specific home.
SRCAA burn bans make proactive fall scheduling critical — if your chimney isn’t swept and certified clean before a ban hits, you lose legal burning rights on the coldest nights. Experienced Spokane sweeps know fall appointments fill fast because savvy homeowners book before the first curtailment-season forecast. Don’t wait for a ban to force your hand; call (833) 749-2788 now for a free estimate and get ahead of the schedule crunch.
