Spanaway is in south Pierce County, below Parkland along SR 7, about 45 minutes from Renton when traffic is light. We drive SR 167 south to Puyallup, SR 512 west and then SR 7 south past Spanaway Lake. Elk Plain continues down SR 7 toward the Graham line, and Roy sits farther southwest on SR 507 beside Joint Base Lewis-McChord. All three communities are on the same service run and are booked together.
The area is glacial outwash prairie, flat and gravelly, and the housing is spread out on larger lots. Spanaway itself has ranch homes from the 1960s and 1970s with masonry chimneys and many 1990s to 2010s subdivisions with framed prefab chases and metal chase covers. Elk Plain and Roy are more rural, with acreage homes, manufactured homes and a high share of wood stoves and inserts that get heavy use. Sweeps, cap work and liner replacement are the usual jobs.
Call 206-453-2045 or request a quote online and we confirm a time by phone or text. A sweep and inspection is a flat $299; repairs are quoted in writing after the inspection.

Local Conditions
Chimney problems we see in Spanaway
Spanaway sits on open prairie with no ridge or tree belt between it and the wind coming across Joint Base Lewis-McChord from the southwest. Chimneys on the newer subdivisions stand well above the roofline, and that wind pulls caps loose and drives rain under chase covers. Inland from Puget Sound and roughly 400 feet up, Spanaway has more frost nights than Tacoma, so crowns and mortar joints that hold water see more freeze-thaw cycles. On acreage in Elk Plain and Roy the main issue is use: wood stoves that run all winter build creosote fast, and undersized or unlined flues on older stove installs are our most common finding. Fir and cedar near Spanaway Lake add moss and needles.

Spanaway chimney service FAQ
I heat with a wood stove on acreage near Elk Plain. How often should it be swept?
A stove that runs most of the winter usually needs a sweep once a year, and heavy burners sometimes need one mid-season. Rural homes around Elk Plain and Roy often burn more wood than a Tacoma fireplace, and creosote builds faster. A sweep and inspection is a flat $299.
My chimney cap blew off in a wind storm. Is that common in Spanaway?
Yes. The open prairie around Spanaway and the base gives wind a clear run at anything above the roofline, and caps held by a few screws or a friction fit do not last. We fit a replacement cap during the inspection visit when we have the right size on the truck.
The metal top on my 1990s Spanaway subdivision chimney is rusted. What is that?
That is a chase cover on a framed prefab chimney, and rust at the seams means it is already letting water into the wood chase below. Chase cover replacement runs $299 to $1,500 depending on size and whether you want galvanized or stainless steel.
Do you come out to Roy?
We do. Roy is on the same run as Spanaway and Elk Plain, and we book it the same way. It helps to be flexible on the day so we can pair your visit with other homes along SR 7 and SR 507.
