Expert Fireplace Maintenance for Your Home in Yakima & the Tri-Cities
There is nothing better than sitting by the fire on a cold Yakima night or during a windy Tri-Cities evening. But fireplaces need care. When chimneys aren’t cleaned or inspected, they can become unsafe. Creosote builds up, chimneys crack, and before you know it, you have a fire hazard or smoke pushing back into your home.
That is why we offer fireplace maintenance. At Campbell, we have been helping families in Yakima, Pasco, Kennewick, Richland, and the surrounding area since 1983. Our job is to make sure your fireplace is safe, clean, and ready to use when you need it most.
Why Fireplace Maintenance Matters
Cleaning out the chimney lowers the risk of chimney fires. Creosote is sticky and flammable, and even a thin layer can catch. It doesn’t take much for that fire to spread into the rest of the home.
A clear chimney also helps the fire burn hotter while using less wood. If you notice your fire keeps going out or you’re using more wood than usual, that usually means the chimney is dirty.
When the chimney is clogged, smoke, soot, and even carbon monoxide can end up back inside the house. That’s when you start noticing smoky smells in the living room or even headaches after using the fireplace.
And like anything else in your home, fireplaces wear down with time. Cracks in the masonry, a damper that sticks, or a loose chimney cap can shorten its life. Routine inspections and cleaning catch these small problems before they turn into big, expensive repairs.
Our Fireplace Maintenance Services
When you call Campbell, here is what the visit looks like.
We start by sweeping the chimney to remove soot, creosote, and debris so the flue is clear. A clean chimney burns better and cuts down on odors inside the home.
Next, we do a full inspection. That means looking at the flue, damper, firebox, and chimney cap. If the cap is damaged or missing, rain or pests can get in. We make sure every part is working the way it should.
We also run safety checks. That includes confirming the fireplace is venting properly, testing for carbon monoxide risks, and making sure smoke is going up and out, not into your home.
Finally, if we see a small problem like a broken damper handle or some loose brickwork, we can often fix it right there. Taking care of these small things early helps the fireplace last longer and keeps it in good shape.
