Chimney Repair Services in Bellevue

Many Bellevue homes have chimneys that need attention. We handle all repair needs with quality workmanship.

Cap Installation

Common Bellevue Chimney Problems

Seattle-area moisture and Bellevue's weather create specific chimney challenges we see regularly.

Water Leaks

Seattle-area moisture creates flashing and crown problems. Most common repair need in Bellevue.

Mortar Deterioration

Freeze-thaw cycles stress masonry. Mortar joints fail, allowing water inside the chimney structure.

Spalling Bricks

Water enters bricks, freezes, and breaks them apart. This accelerates once it starts.

Creosote Buildup

Regular fireplace use accumulates creosote. Professional cleaning prevents fire hazard.

Missing Chimney Caps

Many older Bellevue homes lack caps. Water and animals enter freely without them.

Damaged Liners

Heat stress and age crack liners. A cracked liner is a serious safety issue requiring prompt repair.
