Chimney Repair in Seattle & Bellevue
What We Fix
Common Chimney Repairs We Handle
Cracked crowns, failing mortar, damaged flashing, leaking liners — chimney damage tends to get worse with every Pacific Northwest winter. We diagnose the problem accurately and fix it properly, without recommending work you don't need.
The Pacific Northwest's wet winters are hard on masonry. Freeze-thaw cycles crack mortar, rain infiltrates damaged crowns, and flashing failures can lead to water damage inside your walls. Catching these early can save significantly on remediation costs later.
How It Works
Our Chimney Repair Process
Inspect
We assess the chimney top to bottom — firebox, liner, crown, mortar joints, flashing, and cap — to understand the full scope.
Diagnose
We identify the root cause — not just the visible symptom — and explain clearly what we found and what's needed.
Written Estimate
Before any work begins you receive a written estimate. No pressure, no surprises — nothing starts without your approval.
Repair & Verify
We complete the repair with quality materials, clean up fully, and confirm everything is solid before we leave.
Don't Ignore These
Warning Signs You Need Chimney Repair
White staining on exterior
Efflorescence means water is moving through your masonry — a sign moisture is getting in.
Crumbling or missing mortar
The joints between bricks are your first defense against water. Failing mortar lets it in.
Water in the firebox after rain
If rain reaches your firebox, something above is failing — cap, crown, or flashing.
Cracks in the chimney crown
The crown seals the top of your chimney. Cracks let water in and get worse every winter.
Rusted damper or firebox parts
Rust is a sign of long-term moisture exposure — worth investigating before it spreads.
Spalling or flaking bricks
Surface damage that worsens with every freeze-thaw cycle. Easier and cheaper to fix early.

What Customers Say
5-Star Rated Across Greater Seattle
If you are looking for professional and affordable chimney repair services, I highly recommend these guys. We had a leak from our chimney that we needed repaired. We got a lot of INSANE quotes from other companies, but Sean the technician that we worked with gave us a super reasonable price and was really kind as well. He explained everything to us and gave us a price breakdown in the quote so there was full transparency for pricing. They did an awesome job repairing the leak and redoing the flashing. We would use them again!

★★★★★Great guys! I love the way they approached my project compared to other companies — my chimney was falling apart and leaning very bad, the masonry was crumbling. I wanted a rebuild from the roofline up and Seattle Chimney Services got it done for an amazing price and within my timeframe before selling the house. Highly highly recommended.
