Woodinville, King County
In Woodinville we waterproof chimneys for $285 to $795; a big stack with a lot of brick showing above the shingles lands higher than a small one. We apply a breathable, vapor-permeable repellent: it stops rain soaking into brick or stone but still lets moisture already inside the masonry dry out. It goes on sound masonry only, so any cracks or open joints are dealt with first.

Woodinville rarely dries out in winter. WeatherSpark gives the city a wetter season of about 6.8 months, from October 9 to May 2, with November the wettest month at around 8.5 inches of rain. December is also the cloudiest month, overcast or mostly cloudy about 74 percent of the time, so a soaked chimney gets little sun to dry it.
A Woodinville household can only burn wood during a burn ban if the stove or fireplace is its only adequate heat and Puget Sound Clean Air Agency has approved an exemption beforehand. The agency is clear that costly electric or propane heat, or a furnace the owner cannot afford to fix, does not qualify by itself.
Even an exempt home may not make visible smoke. A chimney that stays soaked through winter tends to draft poorly and smoke more, which is one more reason to keep water out of the masonry.
Every chimney waterproofing we do in Woodinville includes:
Smoke coming back into the room, or a smell that won't go? Book the inspection first.
Book nowWhat we see is brick and stone that stay damp for weeks. Water drawn into the masonry leaves white salt deposits as it evaporates, loosens the surface of softer brick, and eventually shows up inside as a stain beside the fireplace. Repellent applied early slows all of that; applied over cracks, it only hides them.
Within Woodinville's city limits, outdoor burning is not allowed at all, according to Woodinville Fire & Rescue. During any air quality burn ban, the Clean Air Agency's rules go further and prohibit all outdoor burning across its four counties, recreational fires included.
With the backyard ruled out, the fireplace is where a fire in town belongs, when no ban is on. That makes a dry stack and a strong draft worth the upkeep.
We inspect joints, bricks and the crown; any repair comes first, because repellent cannot seal a crack.
Dirt, moss and loose deposits are removed so the product can soak into the masonry evenly.
The repellent goes on dry brick or stone, in a forecast window that gives it time to cure.
We leave photos and the name of the product applied, so the next coat can be timed right.

$285 to $795. A small single-flue stack sits at the low end; a large or tall chimney with lots of exposed face costs more.
Not with our product. Being vapor-permeable, it lets water vapor out while keeping liquid rain from soaking in.
Summer. WeatherSpark puts the clearer part of Woodinville's year from about mid-June to early October, which gives the masonry time to dry before treatment.
