Matthew Cho Chimney Co. is Sumner’s trusted partner for chimney safety and fire prevention, serving Pierce County with the same care we’d give our own homes. As certified chimney professionals, we don’t just clean flues—we inspect for hidden risks like creosote buildup, cracked liners, and carbon-monoxide leaks that threaten Sumner families year-round. Our work meets Washington State Building Code standards, so you can trust your chimney is safe, efficient, and ready for winter’s first burn. We’re the only local sweep with a decade of experience in Sumner’s older homes, where decades of use can hide serious hazards behind a clean facade.
Carbon monoxide is the silent killer no homeowner can afford to ignore, and Sumner’s tightly built, older homes trap it when chimneys fail. We use state-of-the-art CO detectors during every inspection to ensure your flue isn’t leaking deadly gas into your living room. Our safety-first approach includes pressure testing and video inspections to catch cracks or blockages before they become emergencies. Whether you’re in a 1920s bungalow on Main Street or a newer build on the outskirts, we tailor our service to your home’s unique risks—because Sumner’s weather swings from wet winters to dry summers, stressing chimneys in ways many sweeps overlook.
Choosing the right chimney sweep isn’t just about price—it’s about protecting your family’s safety and your home’s value. At Matthew Cho Chimney Co., we combine rigorous training with hands-on experience in Sumner’s diverse housing stock, from historic farmhouses to modern townhomes. Our team carries WETT certification and stays current with Washington’s evolving fireplace regulations, so you’re never left guessing about compliance. We don’t cut corners, and we don’t upsell unnecessary services. What you get is a thorough, honest assessment and a chimney that works when you need it most—whether it’s a cozy winter night or an unexpected power outage.

Chimney fires start quietly but destroy homes in minutes. Our safety-first approach targets creosote—the leading cause—before it ignites. We educate homeowners on burn habits and wood moisture levels specific to Sumner’s damp climate, reducing future buildup.
CO poisoning sends 50,000 Americans to the ER annually. We test for leaks during every service and ensure your system vents properly. Our inspections catch issues like cracked flue tiles or blocked vents that Sumner’s older homes often hide.
Sumner’s building codes mirror the International Residential Code. We verify your chimney meets current standards for clearances, liners, and spark arrestors. Non-compliant systems can void home insurance—we document compliance to keep you protected.
Serving Sumner for 20+ years means we know its unique challenges: wet winters, windy summers, and older homes with original masonry. We tailor solutions to your home’s age, fuel type, and lifestyle—no generic advice.
