The Census puts the median home in Kirkland at 1984, with about 43.6% of the city's housing built before 1980. Chimneys that age have been through decades of fall rain, several hard freezes and, for the older ones, the 2001 Nisqually earthquake. Their problems tend to hide inside the flue or on top of the crown. Our inspection covers liner, crown, cap, flashing and brick, with a picture of every component in the written report you keep. Level 1 or Level 2 with a camera scan, the price is the same.
Houses on the Finn Hill slopes and around Holmes Point sit in areas that King County and Kirkland hazard maps flag as steep. The City of Kirkland lists new cracks in brick or foundations among landslide warning signs, so a crack in a chimney there deserves a closer look than a note to check it next year.
The NFPA 211 standard schedules an inspection every year for each chimney, fireplace and vent, and the State Fire Marshal gives homeowners the same advice. An inspection is also the only way to know how a chimney came through a chimney fire, a windstorm or an earthquake.
Split flue tiles, a cracked crown or a partial blockage rarely show from inside the house, yet each one lets heat, water or exhaust go where it should not. The Nisqually record is a good reminder: once the 2001 quake was over, a USGS survey of roughly 60,000 chimneys in the region turned up 1,556 with damage. A camera scan finds that kind of damage before a fire tests it.

Serving the Northshore, Kirkland to Woodinville
We have found no Washington rule that requires one. A buyer or the buyer's inspector may still ask for it, and a written report with photos answers their questions before they turn into a negotiation.
Level 1 covers what can be seen and reached from the firebox, the roof and accessible parts of the house. A Level 2 goes further and sends a camera up the entire flue, where hidden cracks and gaps finally show.
$99 plus tax per chimney, and the level makes no difference to the price. If you accept our quote for the recommended work, the fee comes off that job.
One visit. We book a two-hour slot so that a camera scan, if it is needed, never gets rushed.
Yes. Damage to a flue liner or to the brick just below the crown is rarely visible from the ground, and it is exactly what USGS researchers found in large numbers after the 2001 Nisqually quake.
