Chimney Services in Kenmore, WA
Kenmore sits at the northern tip of Lake Washington, known for Kenmore Air's seaplane base, the Burke-Gilman Trail, and a community that treasures its lakeside setting. The city's 1950s-1970s homes — many with views of the lake and the Cascades — have chimneys that face persistent lake moisture, making proactive maintenance essential.
Kenmore Housing & Chimneys
Kenmore's housing features 1950s-1970s ramblers and split-levels on tree-lined streets, with some larger waterfront properties along Lake Washington and the Sammamish River. The Inglewood and Moorlands neighborhoods have the oldest homes. Some newer construction exists near the town center.
What Makes Kenmore Chimneys Unique
Kenmore's position at the north end of Lake Washington means chimneys face constant elevated humidity from the lake, the Sammamish River, and the surrounding wetlands. This persistent moisture is harder on chimneys than intermittent rain because it keeps masonry damp 24/7 during cooler months. Waterproofing and corrosion-resistant materials are essential.
Common Problems in Kenmore
- ! Persistent lake moisture causing constant chimney dampness
- ! Accelerated mortar deterioration from 24/7 humidity exposure
- ! Moss and algae growth on chimney surfaces
- ! Heavy creosote from burning in damp conditions
- ! Corroded metal components from lake humidity
- ! Freeze-thaw damage from moisture-saturated masonry
- ! Tree debris from Burke-Gilman Trail canopy
- ! Waterfront property chimneys with extreme moisture exposure

What Customers Say
“Seattle Chimney Pros saved us from what could have been a disaster. They found a major crack in our flue liner during a routine inspection. Professional, honest, and fairly priced!”
“We've used three different chimney companies over the years. Seattle Chimney Pros is by far the best. They showed up on time, explained everything, and the creosote removal was thorough.”
“Had an emergency leak during a rainstorm. Called Seattle Chimney Pros and they were at my house within 2 hours. Fixed the crown and flashing the next day. The real deal!”
“Our gas fireplace hadn't been serviced in years. They did a full maintenance check, replaced a faulty valve, and now it runs perfectly. Fair pricing with no upselling.”
“The team rebuilt the top section of our 80-year-old chimney. The brickwork is flawless — you can't even tell which part is new. True craftsmen.”
“I was quoted $4,000 by another company. Seattle Chimney Pros gave an honest assessment and fixed the issue for under $1,200. They've earned a customer for life.”
“We had our chimney waterproofed before the rainy season. No leaks all winter — first time in 10 years. Wish we'd found them sooner. Highly recommend!”
“Fast, clean, and professional. They installed a new chimney cap and inspected the crown in one visit. Everything explained clearly with photos. 5 stars.”
“Our old clay liner was crumbling. They installed a stainless steel liner and the difference in draft is incredible. Job done right the first time.”
