Santiago Chimney Inc provides chimney sweep services in Gig Harbor, 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 Gig Harbor and nearby areas.
Gig Harbor’s damp climate means creosote builds up faster than in drier areas, and that’s a fire hazard waiting to happen. Our standard sweep gets your chimney clean from top to bottom, including the smoke chamber and flue. We use brushes designed for your chimney type, whether it’s masonry, metal, or a modern prefab, and we don’t cut corners. You’ll get a written report showing what we found, so you know exactly what’s been taken care of. Pricing starts at $120 for a single-story home, with no hidden fees for travel or extra time. If your chimney’s in rough shape, we’ll tell you flat out, and give you options to fix it without overcharging.
Call about this serviceIf your chimney’s got thick, tarry creosote (the kind that looks like black candy or even hard as rock), a basic sweep won’t cut it, and neither will the $400 quotes you’ll get from some sweeps. We use high-pressure air systems and specialized tools to break down stubborn deposits, then brush them out completely. The difference? Your chimney stays clear for months, not just until the next rainstorm. We’ve seen chimneys in Gig Harbor’s older neighborhoods with creosote so bad it was cracking the flue lining. We fix that without charging you for a ‘specialty’ service. Expect to pay $180–$250 for a deep clean, depending on the buildup, but you’ll avoid the $600+ bills other sweeps try to hit you with.
Call about this serviceGig Harbor’s windy winters can push moisture into chimneys, and that leads to cracks, rust, or even animal nests you won’t see until it’s too late. Our inspection goes beyond just looking up the flue. We check for structural damage, proper draft flow, and signs of water leaks, all things that can turn a cozy fire into a dangerous situation. If we find issues, we’ll explain them in plain terms and give you a clear estimate to fix them, not just scare you into booking a sweep you don’t need. Inspections start at $95, and we’ll often bundle them with a sweep to save you money. No surprises, just honesty.
Call about this serviceWood and pellet stoves in Gig Harbor homes get gunked up faster because of the moisture in our air, and that means lower efficiency and higher bills for you. We clean the combustion chamber, remove soot from the heat exchanger, and check for carbon monoxide risks, all while keeping an eye out for cheap repairs that might be hiding bigger problems. Unlike some sweeps who’ll charge you $200 just to ‘service’ your stove, we focus on what actually needs work. A basic stove cleaning runs $150–$220, and we’ll tell you upfront if we spot something that needs a pro’s touch beyond our scope. No upselling, just straight answers.
Call about this serviceGig Harbor’s rainy season takes a toll on chimneys, and when water starts leaking into your home or smoke backs up during a fire, it’s not a problem that waits. We handle cracks, rusted liners, and collapsed mortar joints with permanent fixes, not temporary patches that’ll fail next winter. Our emergency response team gets to your home within 24 hours, and we’ll give you a fair quote before we start, no ‘after the fact’ surprises. Repairs typically run $250–$500, depending on the damage, but we’ve saved Gig Harbor homeowners hundreds by catching small issues before they turn into costly disasters. Call us before you call a roofer or HVAC guy, we can often fix it ourselves.
Call about this serviceIf you’re like most Gig Harbor homeowners, you only think about your chimney when it’s time to light the first fire of the season, and that’s when sweeps jack up their prices. Our maintenance plan lets you schedule your sweeps in advance at a discounted rate, so you’re never stuck paying premium fees in December. You’ll get two sweeps a year (fall and spring), priority scheduling, and a 10% discount on any repairs. For $280 total (instead of $350+ if you pay per sweep), you’ll avoid the stress of finding a reputable sweeper when everyone else is booked. Plus, we’ll email you a reminder before your next sweep, so you never forget, and your chimney stays safe all year.
