Clyde Hill was farmland until the early 1950s, when it began filling in with suburban houses, and it incorporated as a town in 1953. Today it counts about 3,100 residents, and nearly all of its 1,098 homes are detached single-family houses. Its chimneys belong to individual owners on large lots, which makes access for ladders and scaffolding simpler than on a crowded block, but it also means every repair is a private decision with nobody else sharing the cost.
By the early 1950s the hill's farmland was being divided into residential neighborhoods, and the town incorporated on March 31, 1953. A chimney from that period has lived through a lot of winters and, often, a change of appliance.
Repair and relining overlap here. Washington's residential code asks for a liner that suits whatever is connected, and CSIA advises a Level 2 look when the appliance changes. When we repair the masonry of an older stack, we check that the flue inside it is still fit for its current use.
Every chimney repair we do in Clyde Hill includes:
Smoke coming back into the room, or a smell that won't go? Book the inspection first.
Book nowRepairs on the hill fall into a few families. Weather damage at the top: cracked crowns, eroded mortar joints and loose bricks after years of wet winters. Damage from inside: spalled firebox brick or a cracked smoke chamber from heat and moisture. And, less often but more serious, masonry that has shifted, which in this region always raises the question of earthquake movement. We sort your findings into these groups so you can see what is urgent.
It is tempting to think that repointing makes a chimney stronger. FEMA says otherwise: after earthquake damage, repointing alone does not improve how a masonry chimney performs in the next quake. Its recommended repair is partial or full removal and a rebuild with a metal flue or insert in light-frame construction.
Washington's geologists estimate an 85 percent likelihood that the region sees a deep quake of magnitude 6.5-plus within 50 years, so we explain that difference plainly whenever a Clyde Hill repair involves a cracked or shifted stack.
We examine the chimney inside and out, from the hearth up to the crown, and photograph each defect we find.
The quote lists each repair separately with its price from our grid, so you can approve all of it or only what is urgent.
Damaged brick and mortar are removed and replaced; the work area is protected and the roof is left clean.
You see the finished repair in photos from the roof, and any follow-up such as waterproofing is noted with its timing.

The strongest winds in western Washington usually blow from the south or southwest in late fall and winter, the same months the rain peaks. Wind-driven water is what finds its way into a cracked crown or an open joint.
CSIA ranks water ahead of fire as the main cause of masonry chimney damage. A lasting repair on the hill therefore finishes at the top: sound joints, a crown that sheds water, and a cap.
Clyde Hill is a small, affluent residential city on the high ground just north of downtown Bellevue, with large single-family estate homes.

From $425 for general brick and mortar repair. Larger jobs, such as rebuilding the top courses or a full crown, go higher; our grid runs to about $3,295 for general masonry repair, and each line is written out before you approve.
We can document cracks, displaced bricks and separated joints and tell you whether the pattern looks like movement or weathering. If movement is suspected, we suggest a Level 2 inspection, which is what the Chimney Safety Institute of America advises after an earthquake.
We source brick and mix mortar to come as close as we can to the color and texture of the original, and show you a sample when the match matters.
Yes. Firebox brick, joints and the smoke chamber are part of chimney repair, and they are often where heat damage shows first.
