Puyallup, Pierce County
Chimney repair in Puyallup starts at $375 for a contained job such as a few loose bricks or a patch of failed mortar, and it climbs with the height of the stack, the number of courses involved and how far the damage has spread. Before any repair is priced, we show you where the problem is and why it happened, because a repair that ignores the cause tends to come back.

Much of the brick work we see in Puyallup is on houses from before 1980, which census estimates put at about 39% of the town's homes. Those chimneys have carried decades of fires and valley winters. Newer homes have their own repair needs, usually around the chase, the metal chimney top and the siding around it rather than brick.
Census estimates show wood as the main heating fuel in about 0.8% of Puyallup homes and about 1.9% of Pierce County homes. For those households a damaged chimney is not a project for later; it is the heating system out of order.
The regional clean air agency grants a burn ban exemption only when wood is a home's only adequate heat, and it does not count a furnace that is temporarily broken as a reason. So if the stove is your heat, a cracked flue or a failing firebox needs fixing before the cold months, not after the first bad night.
Every chimney repair we do in Puyallup includes:

Book nowEarthquakes are part of the repair picture in Pierce County. After the 2001 Nisqually earthquake, which was centered beneath Anderson Island, FEMA records showed chimney damage in one-third of the 30,000 homes it inspected. A stack that looks fine from the yard can still have cracked joints or a shifted top section, which is why a camera look is advised after any quake strong enough to rattle the house.
December is the wettest month in the Puyallup station's long record, with about 6.2 inches of precipitation on average, and it falls in the stretch of the year when the valley regularly drops below freezing: about 69 nights a year, more than twice the Tacoma station's figure.
That combination is hard on brick. Soaked mortar freezes, expands a little and loosens, and each cycle opens the joint further. A great deal of masonry damage begins as one small gap that let water in during a wet, cold spell, which is why catching it early keeps the bill small.
We check where the water or movement comes from, so the repair addresses the source as well as the symptom.
You get a written quote with photos marking each area, so you can approve everything or just the urgent items.
Damaged brick and mortar are cut out and replaced, and the firebox is repaired with heat-rated materials where needed.
Finished photos, a note on curing time before the next fire, and advice on anything left for later.
