A small crack in your chimney crown becomes a major water leak. Deteriorating mortar allows moisture inside your walls. A damaged liner creates fire and carbon monoxide hazards. Professional repair addresses problems before they compound.
Bellevue's Puget Sound climate is beautiful but harsh on chimneys. Persistent moisture, freeze-thaw cycles, and heavy rainfall accelerate deterioration.
Comprehensive repairs using quality materials and proven techniques
Flashing is where most chimney leaks originate. We provide comprehensive flashing service:
Proper flashing work stops leaks at their most common source and prevents water damage to your chimney and home interior.
Professional masonry technique for restoring deteriorated mortar joints:
1. Removal: Carefully remove failed mortar to proper depth without damaging bricks
2. Preparation: Clean joints and dampen for proper adhesion
3. Application: Apply new mortar matched to original in color, composition, and strength
4. Tooling: Shape mortar for proper drainage and finished appearance
Proper repointing restores structural integrity, stops water infiltration, and extends your chimney's service life by decades.
Minor Repair
Small cracks sealed with flexible, weather-resistant sealant that accommodates thermal expansion
Major Repair / Replacement
Extensively damaged crowns require removal and rebuilding with proper slope, materials, and overhang
A proper crown is your chimney's primary defense against water entry from above.
High-temperature refractory materials designed for extreme fireplace conditions. Restores safe smoke and heat containment.
Quality chimney cap installation and modern damper replacement for weather protection and energy efficiency.
After repairs are complete, we apply breathable waterproofing sealant to your chimney's exterior masonry. This prevents water from entering brick and mortar while allowing internal moisture to escape—preventing the freeze-thaw damage cycle that causes so many problems in Bellevue.
