Expert chimney care for Newcastle's hillside homes. Certified cleaning, comprehensive inspection, and professional repair services for properties with elevated weather exposure.
Newcastle sits perched above Lake Washington with some of the most stunning views on the Eastside—and some of the most weather-exposed chimneys. The hillside terrain that gives Newcastle homes their dramatic sightlines also exposes chimney systems to wind, rain, and temperature swings that accelerate deterioration. Mad Hatter Chimney Sweep has provided Newcastle homeowners with certified professional chimney service for over 45 years.
From the upscale developments of Newcastle Hills and Olympus to the established homes along Coal Creek Parkway, Newcastle properties feature quality construction with fireplaces built for regular use. These systems deserve the expert care that keeps them safe, efficient, and structurally sound.
Newcastle's hillside location means chimneys face more wind and weather than homes in sheltered valleys. Wind-driven rain penetrates mortar joints and flashing more aggressively. Temperature fluctuations are more extreme at elevation. This additional exposure accelerates deterioration, making annual inspection especially important.
Newcastle's residential character leans toward well-built homes with substantial fireplace installations. Many properties feature large masonry chimneys, premium stone surrounds, and multiple fireplace systems. These represent significant investment and require technicians who understand complex, high-end chimney configurations.
Newcastle residents use their fireplaces frequently from October through April. The cooler temperatures at elevation and the comfort of gathering around a fire in homes with sweeping views means regular burning—and regular creosote accumulation that needs professional removal.
We remove all creosote from your chimney system—full flue length, smoke chamber, firebox, and damper—using professional equipment sized for your specific chimney. Your home stays completely clean throughout thanks to professional containment.
