Chimney service in Woodinville

Request a callback

Woodinville sits somewhere between tidy suburban streets and open acreage dotted with wineries, and its chimneys mirror that split, masonry flues on the older homes, metal stove-pipe runs on the newer rural lots, and gas fireplaces in the newer subdivisions. Months of steady Pacific Northwest rain do quiet damage to crowns and flashing, and the wood-burning on the semi-rural edges stacks creosote faster than a once-a-year visit was meant to handle.

A town of wineries and wide-open edges

On the acreage and semi-rural edges, wood stoves carry the winter heat, and that steady burning loads creosote into the flue well past what an annual cleaning was designed to clear. The November-through-March rain works down through cracked mortar joints and worn flashing, and if the crown has shifted even a little, water tracks into the chimney before you ever notice a dark ring on the ceiling. Older unreinforced brick or stone masonry also carries a seismic question that a visual sweep should flag while up there. On the newer subdivision side, gas fireplaces are the standard, but the masonry chase still needs an interior look. And on the open lots, an uncapped flue is an open door for a crow or a squirrel to nest for the summer.
