Bottom line: If your chimney needs a little help, we can help!
Chimney crowns are constantly subjected to the harshest elements – and they’re one of the most important parts of the entire chimney structure.
After years of exposure to intense heat, ash, and moisture, many fireplace dampers become stuck, distorted, or inefficient. We can fix them.
When heat is not evenly distributed throughout the chimney, it leads to expansion of the tiles, causing them to crack and split.
Our experts use professional-grade sealants to protect your brick and mortar from water absorption, stopping leaks before they start.
Notice broken bricks or cracked mortar? We can place new fire bricks and refractory mortar, allowing continued use of your fireplace.
Are the bricks in your chimney loose or cracked? Tuckpointing is the process of repairing and replacing old, decayed, or missing mortar.
When tuckpointing is no longer an option, we’ll rebuild it for you. This includes set up, tear down, removal, and rebuilding your chimney.
Chimney Cleaning & Safety Inspections
Over months of cozy fires, soot and highly flammable creosote naturally build up along the inner walls of your flue. Left unchecked, this buildup can restrict airflow, backdraft smoke into your living room, or even spark a dangerous chimney fire.
Our professional chimney cleaning and sweeping services remove stubborn creosote, soot, and wildlife nesting debris to keep your system drawing smoothly. Every cleaning comes accompanied by a meticulous multi-point safety inspection of your firebox, damper, and flue. We recommend having your chimney swept at least once a year—especially before the cold, damp Pacific Northwest winter sets in—to ensure your fireplace operates safely and efficiently all season long.

It’s typically less expensive to repair a chimney in the short term – but in the long term, it’s more cost-effective to remove a severely damaged chimney. Masonry experts have to consider overall safety and potential structural issues when assessing the damage. In some cases, a chimney rebuild may be a better option. But for a good portion of our service calls, our team handles repairs with ease.
It’s not always clear which option is best for your specific situation and budget. At Masonry Waterproofing, and Drainage Masters, we’ll provide thorough inspections and honest recommendations. Our experienced contractors can assess your chimney’s condition and help you make an informed decision in repairs that balances cost-effectiveness with safety and longevity.
Yes, they often can be. Old and historic chimneys can absolutely be repaired, as long as the damage isn’t too significant or structural. Depending on the level of deterioration, historic chimneys often require a specialized process called tuckpointing, where crumbling mortar is carefully scraped out and replaced with fresh, color-matched mortar.
If the bricks themselves are structurally compromised, we can perform a partial or full rebuild using historic-matching masonry techniques to preserve your home’s original character while ensuring modern safety standards.
Most of the time they’re not. Typically, homeowner’s insurance only covers chimney leaks if the damage was caused by a sudden, unexpected destructive event — such as a lightning strike, a severe windstorm, or a fallen tree limb.
Standard insurance policies generally do not cover leaks caused by normal wear and tear, gradual freezing and thawing cycles, or a lack of regular maintenance. We recommend scheduling a professional inspection so we can document the exact cause of the leak for your insurance provider.
Some fear that they have to wait until the dry season to have chimney work done. That’s not the case with us! Unless it’s truly pouring, our contractors can get your chimney work done. Reach out now to get your project going within days.
