A lot of Kirkland's housing went up in the 1960s and 1970s: about 37% of homes, by the Census count, including the Kingsgate Highlands subdivision, whose 957 lots were built between 1965 and 1976. Many of those chimneys still have their first clay flue tiles. Age, moisture and any chimney fire in fifty years can crack them. We confirm the damage with a camera, measure the flue, and install a stainless liner sized to the fireplace, stove or insert it serves, with insulation where the installation requires it.
Along Kirkland's waterfront and around Kenmore's Uplake Terrace, where Ranch and Split Level homes went up in the 1950s and early 1960s, chimneys are often among the oldest in our area. Their clay liners are the first thing we look at with the camera.
Washington's residential code does not allow an unlined masonry chimney, and it also sets an air gap between the chimney and anything combustible next to it. When the liner fails, heat and exhaust reach places the code was written to protect.
The liner does two jobs. It keeps the heat of the fire off the wood framing around the masonry, and it keeps exhaust, carbon monoxide included, inside the flue until it leaves at the top. The 2021 state residential code permits clay flue tile, listed lining products or any material the code approves, so long as it holds up to hot flue gases and the condensate they leave. A cracked tile breaks both protections at once. Oversizing is a quieter problem: when a modern stove or insert vents into a flue far bigger than it needs, the draft weakens, smoke lingers, and creosote builds faster.
How it works
The camera shows where the old liner has failed; the tape gives the exact size needed.
We match diameter and type to your appliance and explain why.
The liner is fed down the flue, connected at the bottom, insulated as needed and capped.
A final scan and photos show the new liner in place from top to bottom.

Serving the Northshore, Kirkland to Woodinville
Tile fragments in the firebox, a report that mentions cracks or gaps, or a chimney that was never lined are the usual clues. The camera settles it: it shows the actual condition of every tile.
Our relining prices start from $1,900. Flue height, liner diameter, insulation and access set the final figure, which we give you in writing after the camera inspection.
Stainless works with most wood stoves, inserts and gas appliances, and it can be sized precisely to the appliance. For unusual flues we explain the alternatives before recommending anything.
Yes, once the final camera pass confirms the liner is connected and sealed. We tell you before we leave.
Often, yes. A gas insert usually needs its own properly sized liner to vent correctly, and a clay flue built for an open hearth rarely fits one.
