Issaquah, King County

The crown is the concrete or mortar slab that caps the brick, and it takes more rain than any other part of the chimney. Many crowns around Issaquah were poured flush with the brick, with no drip edge, so water runs straight down the face instead of falling clear. Over years that shows up as eroded joints just under the top.
Every masonry repair (crown / repointing) we do in Issaquah includes:
Smoke coming back into the room, or a smell that won't go? Book the inspection first.
Book nowRepointing requests here usually follow a winter of heavy rain: mortar that has gone sandy and can be scratched out with a key, dark wet patches on the brick that linger for days, and white mineral deposits on the face. Grinding out the worn mortar and refilling it restores the joints before the brick itself starts to fail.
We measure the crown, check its overhang and map which faces of the stack have worn joints, since exposure is rarely the same on all four sides.
Loose crown material is broken out and worn mortar is ground back to sound depth, so new work bonds to solid masonry rather than to crumbs.
The crown is formed with a drip edge that clears the brick, and the joints are packed and tooled to match the existing profile.
We clean mortar smears off the brick and explain how long the new work needs before it faces heavy rain.

The Chimney Safety Institute of America recommends that a crown project roughly two inches past every side of the chimney, so rain drips clear instead of washing over the brick and mortar below. A flat, flush crown skips that protection entirely.
Western Washington's climate record shows why the detail matters. The wet season opens in October, and January air stays damp around the clock, near 87 percent relative humidity in the small hours and still about 78 percent by mid-afternoon. Masonry that gets soaked on the surface has little chance to dry, so joints erode steadily through the cool months.
Issaquah is a city nestled against the Issaquah Alps, with a historic downtown plus large newer developments in the highlands. We work every part of it — Gilman, Issaquah Highlands, Squak Valley included.

From $475. The price depends on how much crown needs rebuilding and how many square feet of joints need repointing. You get it itemized before we start.
Hairline cracks can be sealed. A crown that is breaking apart, or one with no overhang at all, lasts longer if it is rebuilt properly.
