Edgewood is located on a prominent plateau between the Puyallup Valley and the valley of Jovita Canyon. Because of this high elevation, homes are frequently hit by stronger wind gusts than the surrounding lowlands. These winds push rain sideways, forcing moisture into small cracks in your chimney mortar. This is known as wind-driven rain, and it is the main cause of structural leaks in this area. At Chimneyz, we focus on sealing your home’s exterior to handle these ridge-line conditions, making sure your masonry stays dry and solid even during the heaviest South Sound storms.
Many homeowners in Edgewood struggle with leaks because they hire a roofer for one job and a mason for another. The problem is that the leak usually happens right where the two trades meet. If this transition zone is not handled correctly, water will seep into your attic and rot your wooden ceiling joists. We take a different approach by managing the entire building shell. We ensure the roof shingles and the chimney bricks are joined with a professional and watertight seal that stops moisture from ever entering your home. Our masonry and brick repairs include brick repointing, where we grind out old sandy mortar and replace it with new high-density material to lock the bricks in place.
For chimneys that are leaning or have loose bricks at the top, we perform vertical rebuilding to ensure the stack is safe and straight. We also apply waterproof shielding as a clear and breathable coating that stops rain from soaking into the bricks while letting internal moisture escape. We build custom concrete chimney crowns that act like an umbrella, shedding water away from the masonry. Our goal is to provide Edgewood residents with a structural shield that protects the home’s value and keeps the interior dry. By combining GAF certified roofing protocols with industrial masonry engineering, we eliminate the gaps that standard contractors miss.

Edgewood is a city known for its rural feel and beautiful views of Mount Rainier, but the geography of the North Hill creates specific challenges for your home’s exterior. High plateau winds force rain into horizontal mortar joints and can lift old chimney flashing. Additionally, rising fog from the Puyallup Valley keeps masonry damp, promoting moss and algae growth that can pry joints apart. The high elevation also causes faster freezing, which can snap water-soaked bricks through a process called spalling. We use thermal cameras to find hidden wood rot behind your walls, allowing us to perform surgical roof beam replacement if water has softened your rafters or plywood.
We believe in doing a professional job that leaves your property better than we found it. We start every project with a drone scan to show you exactly what needs to be fixed using high-definition imagery. While we work, we use HEPA-filtered vacuums to catch brick dust and debris, keeping your driveway and yard clean throughout the process. We also implement metal counter-flashing by cutting a deep line into your brick to tuck in metal sheets, creating a permanent and gravity-fed drainage system. Our crews provide clear updates so you know exactly what is happening with your repair. By re-establishing the bond between your masonry and roof, we create a fortified barrier that ensures your Edgewood property remains resilient against the plateau’s aggressive weather. We provide one point of accountability for your entire building envelope, giving you peace of mind during the next big storm.

FAQ
Have questions about chimney leaks, masonry damage, roofing issues, or how our process works? Here are some of the questions homeowners ask us most often.
Is my leak from the chimney or the roof?
In many cases, it can be difficult to tell without a full inspection. Water often enters through cracked masonry, failing chimney crowns, damaged flashing, or weak points where the chimney meets the roof. That is why we inspect the full system before recommending a repair.
Do you only work on chimneys?
No. Chimneyz specializes in the connection between chimney, roof, masonry, and restoration. We handle chimney-related structural issues as a complete system, which helps homeowners avoid the confusion of hiring multiple contractors for one connected problem.
What are the signs of chimney or roofline damage?
Common signs include water stains on ceilings or walls, damp odors, visible cracks in brick or mortar, deteriorated flashing, loose materials, and signs of moisture around the fireplace or chimney structure.
Do you offer inspections before starting repairs?
Yes. Every project starts with a careful inspection so we can understand the real cause of the issue, assess the condition of the connected systems, and define the right scope of work.
Will I receive a clear estimate before work begins?
Yes. We believe in transparency and clear scopes. Once we identify the issue, we provide a detailed explanation of what needs to be repaired and how we recommend moving forward.
What types of repairs do you handle?
We handle chimney leak detection, masonry repair, brick repointing, flashing and roofline repair, structural restoration, and related chimney and roofing work designed to solve connected problems properly.
Do you serve areas outside Seattle?
Yes. Chimneyz serves Seattle and surrounding communities. You can visit our Service Areas section to see whether we work in your location and explore area-specific services.
Why work with one contractor for the entire system?
Because chimney problems often affect more than one part of the home. Working with one accountable team helps prevent miscommunication, finger-pointing, incomplete repairs, and repeated failures caused by fragmented work.
