A chimney is the part of a house that stands highest and gets the least attention. In east King County it faces about seven months of wet weather a year, winter storms that Redmond's hazard annex says hit the city's hills hardest, and the ground movement that comes with living near active faults. We begin with an inspection that separates surface wear from structural trouble, then repair what the photos show, from resetting a few bricks to taking a stack down to the roofline and rebuilding it.
Sammamish's hazard annex ranks earthquake as the city's greatest threat and notes that a fault zone crosses the southern part of the city. It also offers some reassurance: most homes there were built to more recent structural codes, and the building official did not believe the city held any unreinforced masonry structures. A newer chimney is a better starting point, though FEMA's advisory warns that even chimneys built to modern standards can be significantly damaged, so the check after a quake still applies.
Washington DNR estimates the 50-year chance of a deep earthquake of at least magnitude 6.5 in the Puget Sound region at 85%. FEMA's chimney advisory is blunt about what that means for brick stacks on wood-frame houses: it calls them extremely vulnerable to shaking, most of all older unreinforced chimneys with degraded mortar.
Structural damage to a chimney is a fire problem and a falling-object problem at once. Cracks through the stack give heat and flue gas a path toward framing; loose brick above the roofline can come down in a storm or a quake. The FEMA advisory adds a caution worth knowing before you choose a repair: repointing and patching cracks are good maintenance, but they do little to reduce earthquake damage, and a chimney rebuilt exactly as it was stays as vulnerable as it was. Where a rebuild is on the table, we explain the options that change that, including a lighter top section with a metal flue. Any rebuilt chimney must also meet the state's height rule: at least three feet above the roof where it passes through, and two feet above anything within ten feet.
How it works
Roof-level photos and a flue scan show how far the damage runs and what caused it.
The quote lists each repair separately, which lets you sort the urgent items from those that can be scheduled later.
Damaged masonry comes out and new brick and mortar go in, matched to the existing stack.
Final photos, and a note of anything worth watching at the next yearly inspection.

Our structural repairs are quoted from $425. Resetting a handful of bricks sits near that starting figure; rebuilding courses or the whole top of a stack costs more. The exact amount comes in a written quote after the inspection.
By what holds. If the brick is sound and only the joints or a few units have failed, repair is enough. If the stack has shifted, the brick is crumbling through, or the same cracks keep returning, a rebuild from a solid course upward is the repair that lasts.
Sometimes, and the answer is set by your building department, not by us. FEMA's advisory states plainly that the reconstruction it describes always needs a building permit. For smaller repairs the rules differ between Redmond, Sammamish, Duvall, Carnation and unincorporated King County, so we confirm with the right office before starting.
Yes. The inspection is $99 plus tax, and it is credited toward the repair when you approve the quote.
Often, with planning. Mortar needs a dry spell and temperatures above freezing to cure, and Redmond's cool season, on WeatherSpark's dates, opens around November 13 and lasts into the first days of March. Urgent work goes ahead under cover when it has to; the rest is easier between June and early October.
