Close to a quarter of Redmond's housing, 8,224 units by the Census count, went up between 1960 and 1979, in the years the city annexed Overlake, Viewpoint and Bear Creek and grew from a town of about 1,500 into a suburb. Masonry flues from that period that still carry their original clay tiles have been heated, cooled and rained on for half a century. When a camera shows cracked or shifted tiles, or when a new appliance needs a smaller flue than the old fireplace had, we measure the passage and install a continuous stainless liner from the appliance to the cap.
Carnation is the place on our map where older flues are most likely: about 14.5% of its homes predate 1960, against 2.5% in Redmond and 1.5% in Sammamish, by Census estimates. A chimney of that age may have been built to vent an appliance that left the house decades ago. Before a stove or insert goes into one, the flue should be scanned and, more often than not, lined to fit.
Washington's 2021 residential code leaves no room for a bare masonry flue. It accepts three linings: clay flue tile, a listed chimney lining system, or a factory-built chimney listed for use inside masonry. A flue whose lining has failed no longer meets the rule the code set for it.
A liner is the barrier between a fire and the house built around it. The same code that requires it also demands a gap of open air separating the masonry from anything that can burn, two inches for a chimney inside the building and one inch for a chimney standing wholly outside the exterior walls, which tells you how seriously it takes heat transfer. Once tiles crack, hot gas and carbon monoxide can pass through the gap into that space. There is an earthquake angle as well: a FEMA advisory written after the 2014 South Napa earthquake names reconstruction with metal flues or fireplace inserts as best practice for reducing future chimney damage.
How it works
The camera locates each crack, gap or missing section and we mark it on the report.
Liner diameter follows the appliance's requirements, not the size of the old flue.
It goes in from the roof, connects at the appliance and is sealed at the top.
Draft is checked and a final scan documents the full length of new liner.

From a camera, not from a guess. Liner damage sits inside the flue where a flashlight cannot follow, so the decision rests on the video and photos from a Level 2 inspection. If the tiles are sound and the size suits the appliance, we say so.
Relining is priced from $1,900. Height of the chimney, liner diameter, insulation and roof access decide the final number, and it reaches you in writing once the flue has been scanned.
It depends on the address and the scope. Duvall's published list marks inserts, wood-burning stoves and fireplaces as needing a permit; King County requires a residential mechanical permit to install or replace wood stoves and fireplaces on unincorporated land; Redmond's mechanical application lists fireplaces and pellet stoves or inserts as fixtures to declare. We check with the building department that covers your street before work is scheduled.
The state code accepts listed chimney lining systems as one of its approved linings, and a listed stainless system can be sized to the appliance and installed as a single unbroken run. That continuity is what a cracked tile flue has lost.
We advise against it once a camera has shown gaps in the lining. The gaps are where heat and exhaust leave the flue, and using the fireplace is what sends them there.
