East King County's houses are younger than the county average, which changes what an inspection looks for. The Census dates the median Redmond home to 1993 and the median Sammamish home to 1994, while Carnation still has about one home in seven from before 1960. The Census records the decade a house was built, not the kind of fireplace inside it, so we start every visit by identifying what is actually there: a masonry chimney, a prefabricated fireplace inside a wood-framed chase, or a gas appliance with its own vent. Then we check it part by part and put each finding, good or bad, in a written report.
Slope matters in this part of the county. Redmond's hazard annex locates the city's steep ground mainly on the western and southeastern sides of Education Hill, and counts about 10% of residential structures inside the landslide hazard zone; Sammamish's annex says nearly the whole western and northern rim of the plateau is under landslide threat. On a hillside lot, a fresh crack in a chimney or a stack pulling away from the wall is worth an inspection now, not at the next yearly visit.
NFPA 211, in the wording the Chimney Safety Institute of America publishes, schedules an inspection each year for chimneys, fireplaces and vents alike, and names three things to check: whether it is sound, whether deposits have built up, and whether clearances are correct. None of the three can be judged from a living room chair.
What an inspection hunts for is damage that stays out of sight until a fire finds it: a flue tile split along its length, a liner joint that has opened, a crown that lets rain into the masonry, a vent pipe that has slipped apart in the attic. Earthquakes add to the list. After the 2001 Nisqually earthquake, USGS researchers surveyed approximately 60,000 chimneys block by block and found 1,556 of them damaged. Redmond's hazard annex places the city near two fault zones and on ground prone to liquefaction, so a look after any shaking you felt is time well spent.
How it works
What you burn, how often, and whatever prompted the call: a smell, a stain, a sale.
Masonry, factory-built or gas. Each one fails in its own way and gets its own checklist.
From the firebox and from the roof, with the camera sent up the flue when needed.
You keep the photos and the findings. Any quote is itemized, and saying no costs nothing extra.

$99 plus tax for each chimney, whichever level it turns out to need. When you approve the quote that follows, that amount is deducted from the repair.
Reach. A Level 1 covers the parts a technician can see and get to without tools. A Level 2 adds a video camera run through the full flue, so the surfaces nobody can see from either end are on the record too.
The booking is a two-hour window. That leaves room for the roof, the firebox and a camera run without cutting any of them short.
Yes. About 40% of Redmond's housing has been built since 2000, by the Census count, and newer systems have their own weak points: chase covers that rust, vent sections that loosen, caps that go missing. The yearly check in NFPA 211 makes no exception for age.
No. The report describes what we saw, with a photo for each item. If something needs fixing you receive a written quote, and the decision stays with you.
