Chimney service in Renton
High-use wood burning, and appliances installed without permits. What we run into here, and why it is not what we run into three miles away.
What Renton chimneys are actually like
Renton spans two different situations. In the established neighbourhoods it is a fairly standard mix of masonry and prefabricated systems. Toward the Cascade foothills the wood stoves get real use — heating rather than ambience — and the buildup reflects that.
The other thing we run into here more than elsewhere is the stove or insert installed by a previous owner without a permit. Clearance to combustibles is the item that most often fails on those, and it is the finding a buyer’s inspector will catch too. Better to know before the house is listed than during the contingency period.
