Chimney service in Redmond

Request a callback

Redmond sits in the middle of the tech corridor, and its housing tells the story: post-war brick homes on Education Hill with masonry fireplaces, and newer gas-fireplace townhomes clustered around the downtown core. The chimneys in each era need different eyes, and King County's rain season puts steady pressure on crowns, flashing, and mortar joints that were never built for this much water.

Post-war brick and newer gas

The older masonry chimneys here carry the same concerns as the rest of the county: unreinforced brick and stone that a good earthquake test would put to work, crowns that crack and flashings that lift after a long wet November. Uncapped flues are a magnet for raccoons and starlings the moment the weather turns, and even a wood-burning insert that sees only a couple of cords a year will throw down creosote fast enough to matter. On the gas side, the townhome inserts and direct-vent systems in the newer builds need their own kind of check, pilot assemblies, heat exchangers, and the small seals that let in moisture, even when the logs have not been lit in a season.
