Most chimney damage we see starts with water finding a small opening and ends with a freeze making it bigger. Kirkland gets about 6.8 months of wetter weather a year, and a snowy stretch from about mid-December to late January, which is plenty of time for both. Then there is shaking: USGS researchers found that unreinforced brick chimneys in this region were damaged in the 1949, 1965 and 2001 earthquakes. We find where the problem really starts, show you photos, and lay out a repair or a rebuild with the price of each before anything is torn down.
Lakefront chimneys in Kirkland and Kenmore sit in a prevailing south wind; WeatherSpark has it blowing from that direction about 9.3 months a year. A chimney that stands clear of the trees and roofline takes that wind-driven rain directly, which is why we look hard at its upper courses.
A small crack in a wet climate does not stay small. Water gets in, turns to ice and widens the gap winter after winter, until a repair that could have taken a day becomes a rebuild.
Masonry fails from the outside in. Water enters a crack or an eroded joint, and on a freezing night it expands and flakes the brick face off, a process called spalling. Left alone, the stack loosens: courses shift, the crown separates, and in the worst cases a chimney leans. That is a fire risk as much as a structural one, because a shifted stack can open gaps in the flue that let heat and exhaust out where they should not be. A loose chimney is also exactly what an earthquake finds first.

Yes. A lean means the masonry has lost its bond somewhere, and a stack in that state can shed bricks or open gaps in the flue. Stop using the fireplace and have it looked at.
Our chimney repair prices start from $425. A few bricks and some joints sit at the low end; a partial rebuild of the stack costs more. The inspection gives you the exact number in writing.
We look for the closest match in color and size to what is already there. On older chimneys an exact match is not always available, and we will show you samples before we start.
If the damage is limited to a section and the rest is sound, repair. If the upper stack is loose throughout or leaning, rebuilding that part is usually the lasting fix. We quote both when both are reasonable.
Yes. Every freeze that follows a wet spell widens the cracks already there, so fall is the best time to fix what an inspection finds.
