Lakewood is a large suburban city south of Tacoma near Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Pierce County, set on American Lake, with mid-century neighborhoods and lakeside homes. Houses like these are the reason we do this work — chimneys with real history in them, worth a careful restoration rather than a quick patch.
Sitting on American Lake, Lakewood chimneys breathe salt-tinged marine air through the long South Sound wet season. That moisture eats at mortar joints and corrodes caps, dampers and flashing faster than drier ground — which is why chimney sealing with a breathable waterproofing coat is the single best preventive step here, and reason enough to give the masonry a closer look each year.
Locals know Lakewood for American Lake and Fort Steilacoom Park. We work every part of town — Lakewood, Tillicum, Lake City included.

Lakewood chimney care
Chimney trouble rarely announces itself. On every Lakewood visit we walk the whole system, cap to firebox, and hand you photos of what we found — so nothing rests on guesswork or our say-so.
Lakewood waterfront homes
Wind-driven rain off American Lake is what ages Lakewood masonry fastest — sealing is the preventive job we are asked about most here.
We seal Lakewood chimneys with a vapor-permeable waterproofing coat: it keeps driving rain out of the brick while letting the moisture already trapped inside escape, so the masonry dries out instead of spalling through winter. Because sealant alone cannot save a cracked crown, every sealing visit here starts with a crown check and a look at the flashing — and you get photos of both before we apply anything.
