Mortar is softer than brick on purpose, and the crown is the chimney's only roof. Both take the weather directly. In Redmond that means a wet season WeatherSpark measures at 6.8 months and a cool season that opens in mid-November and closes on March 1, with an average December low of 37°F and frost follows rain often enough to matter. We grind out joints that have eroded and repoint them, and we repair or recast crowns that have cracked, so that water runs off the chimney instead of into it.
Sammamish sits on a plateau roughly 500 feet up, and the city's hazard annex states that because of that altitude and geography, snow accumulations there are often higher than in neighboring communities. Snow that sits on a crown melts slowly into every crack it covers. Redmond's own annex recalls 2019, when snowfall lasted nine days and dropped more than 20 inches. Winters like that are when a marginal crown stops being marginal.
Washington's residential code spells out what a crown has to do: every masonry chimney needs a cap of concrete, metal or stone, pitched so water runs off, finished with a drip edge and separated from the flue liners by a caulked bond break. A flat, cracked wash of mortar on top of the brick does none of those things.
Freezing is what turns damp masonry into broken masonry. Water held in a hairline crack expands when it freezes and leaves the crack a little wider for the next rain. Redmond itself rarely drops below 26°F, according to WeatherSpark, but the valley towns see far more frost: a long-record Western Regional Climate Center station in the Cascade foothills east of Carnation logged a low of 32°F or colder on an average of 64.5 days a year. Once joints open, water reaches the flue liner and the framing beside the chimney, and loose mortar eventually means loose brick.
How it works
We mark which joints and which parts of the crown have failed, with photos.
Loose mortar and broken crown material come out down to solid backing.
New mortar is packed and tooled; a new crown is formed with slope and overhang.
The work is protected while it sets and documented when it is done.

Masonry repair is priced from $475. Sealing a crown with minor cracks is the smaller job; recasting a crown or repointing several faces of a tall stack is the larger one.
Not in everyday use. Both words describe the same repair: removing worn mortar from the joints to a set depth and packing in new mortar. The brick stays; only the joints are renewed.
It depends on depth. When the crown is solid and the cracks are only skin-deep, a flexible coating seals them. A crown that is thin, flat, crumbling or missing its overhang should be recast with slope and a drip edge, the way the code describes.
They overlap. This service covers the crown and the joints. When bricks themselves are broken, courses have shifted or the stack leans, the job becomes a structural chimney repair and is quoted that way.
In the dry months if you can choose. Redmond's clearer season spans mid-June through the first week of October, by WeatherSpark's reckoning, and mortar cures best without rain or frost on it.
