Every town, one free inspection
We work across the Seattle metro. Pick your area to see what we find most in local fireplaces and chimneys.
Seattle
Craftsman bungalows, Seattle boxes, Tudors and Queen Annes, plus newer townhomes. The metro's oldest brick chimneys and the most rain-soaked crowns.
The Eastside
Bellevue, Redmond, Kirkland, Issaquah and Woodinville. Many mid-century and newer homes with gas fireplaces and metal chimneys.
North End & Snohomish County
Shoreline, Edmonds, Lynnwood, Bothell, Everett and Marysville, from 1950s ramblers to new subdivisions.
South King County
Renton, Kent, Auburn, Federal Way, Des Moines and Burien. Lots of post-war homes with brick chimneys and wood stoves.
Tacoma & Pierce County
Tacoma's older brick neighborhoods, Puyallup, Lakewood and Gig Harbor.
What changes from one end of the metro to the other
Rain falls everywhere, but not evenly: Everett's Paine Field sees about 178 wet days a year, more than Sea-Tac. Burn-ban triggers differ by county, and Pierce County's is lower than King County's, so Tacoma and Puyallup homes see bans more often. Inside the Tacoma-Pierce County Smoke Reduction Zone, uncertified wood stoves can't be used at all; check the zone map on pscleanair.gov. In Seattle itself, nearly a quarter of homes were built before 1940, so soft lime mortar and unlined clay flues are common. On the Eastside, newer homes lean toward gas fireplaces and metal chimneys under a chase cover.
