Seattle's unique climate accelerates chimney deterioration through constant moisture exposure
Every gap and crack in your chimney will leak. Water damage is the #1 chimney problem in Seattle.
Winter freezes expand water in cracks, widening them. Spring thaws repeat the cycle—accelerating deterioration.
Many Seattle homes are 50-100+ years old. Original chimneys show their age and need professional restoration.
Issues we repair most frequently in Seattle homes
Most common leak source. Seattle's heavy rain finds every gap. Water runs down inside chimney and walls.
Freeze-thaw cycles crack mortar. Water enters, freezes, expands, and widens cracks—leading to complete joint failure.
Concrete cap cracks from weather. Water runs down inside chimney instead of off the sides—causing internal deterioration.
Water penetrates bricks, freezes, forces pieces to break off. Creates more openings for water—accelerates once started.
Liners crack from heat stress and age. Damaged liner allows hot gases into surrounding walls—fire hazard.
Without a cap, water enters freely. Birds and squirrels nest. Debris blocks the flue. All easily preventable.
Complete restoration solutions from Master certified technicians
Flashing is where your chimney meets the roof—where most leaks start. We repair or replace using proper techniques:
Typical Cost: $400-800 • Prevents $3,000+ in water damage
Repointing removes deteriorated mortar and replaces it with fresh mortar matched to the original:
Typical Cost: $1,500-3,000 • Restores structural integrity for decades
The crown is your chimney's primary defense against water entry from above:
Small cracks sealed with flexible, weather-resistant sealant that accommodates thermal expansion without re-cracking.
Extensive damage requires removal and rebuild with proper slope, overhang, and modern materials that withstand Seattle weather.
Typical Cost: $800-1,500 • Prevents internal chimney deterioration
Remove damaged masonry, install matching replacements with proper mortar technique.
Install stainless steel liners properly sized and insulated for safe venting.
Prevent water, animals, and debris entry while maintaining proper draft.
High-temperature refractory materials stop smoke leaks and ensure safe operation.
Professional repair often restores function and safety at a fraction of replacement cost
We'll be honest about this after inspection. Most Seattle chimneys benefit from targeted repair rather than full replacement.
