Older Covington homes built before 1980 often hide hidden damage behind their charming brick facades. Our full masonry inspection uses high-resolution cameras to examine every crack, shift, and deteriorating joint in your chimney’s structure—especially critical in the Pacific Northwest’s damp climate where freeze-thaw cycles accelerate mortar decay. We document findings with photos and a written report so you see exactly what needs attention. Unlike basic sweep services, we focus on the long-term health of your masonry, not just clearing soot. Repairs are quoted upfront with no surprises, and our recommendations prioritize solutions that match your home’s era and materials.
Request this service →If your Covington home’s chimney lacks a proper liner—or has a damaged clay tile liner—you’re risking heat transfer to combustible walls and poor draft performance. We install two types of liners: rigid stainless steel for durability and flexibility, or cast-in-place for a seamless, insulated fit that restores efficiency in older systems. Our liners meet current safety codes and come with a 10-year warranty against defects. We’ll match the liner to your fireplace type (wood-burning, gas, or pellet) and ensure it complies with Covington’s building standards. Installation is completed in a single day with minimal disruption.
Request this service →Covington’s older brick chimneys often suffer from eroded mortar joints, cracked bricks, or leaning stacks—all of which compromise safety and aesthetics. Our restoration process starts with carefully removing damaged mortar (never over-grinding, which weakens bricks), then repointing with a lime-based mortar that matches historic blends. For severely damaged sections, we rebuild using salvaged bricks where possible to preserve your home’s character. We seal the work with a breathable, water-resistant coating to protect against future moisture damage. All materials are sourced locally to ensure compatibility with your home’s age and style.
Request this service →Creosote isn’t just unsightly—it’s a highly flammable glaze that builds up in older chimneys, especially in wood-burning systems common in Covington. Our deep-clean process uses rotary brushes and HEPA vacuums to remove every layer, including the dangerous ‘glazed’ creosote that resists standard sweeping. We also inspect and upgrade safety components like spark arrestors, chimney caps, and damper seals to prevent embers from escaping or downdrafts from entering. Post-service, we provide a burn-safe checklist tailored to your fireplace type and usage patterns.
Request this service →A missing or damaged chimney cap is the #1 cause of water intrusion in Covington’s older chimneys, leading to rusted flue tiles, moldy masonry, and costly structural repairs. We install custom-fit caps with mesh screens to block rain, leaves, and animals while allowing proper airflow. For extra protection, we apply a siloxane-based waterproofing treatment to bricks and mortar that repels water without trapping moisture inside. This treatment lasts 5–7 years and is applied after all repairs to ensure a watertight seal. We match caps to your chimney’s style—whether it’s a classic crown or a modern top-sealing design.
Request this service →Storms, fallen branches, or even a single hard freeze can turn a minor chimney issue into an urgent safety hazard. Our Covington-based team responds same-day to assess damage, stabilize structures, and perform temporary fixes to prevent further harm. We prioritize permanent repairs within 48 hours for critical issues like collapsed flue tiles, loose bricks, or partial blockages that could send smoke or carbon monoxide into your home. All emergency work includes a post-repair inspection and a written report for insurance claims. Call (206) 316-1113 to schedule—we’re on call 24/7.
