Call (833) 749-2788

We’re based in Spokane and make the short run up to Fairwood regularly, so we know the 99218 corridor well. Anthony leads every job himself, which means when we pull up to your property—whether it’s a mid-century ranch off Market Street or a split-level near Fairwood Loop—you’re getting 11 years of chimney-only experience on your roof, not a subcontractor learning the trade. We’ve worked on enough Fairwood homes to recognize the patterns: original masonry fireplaces from the 1950s–70s with mortar crumbling from decades of freeze-thaw cycles, and prefab metal units in the 1980s subdivisions that need liner work after heavy seasonal use.

Why Premier Chimney Cleaning Greater Spokane Is Fairwood’s Preferred Chimney Repair Company

Fairwood homeowners don’t have patience for contractors who don’t show. We’ve built our reputation across north Spokane County by doing what we say we’ll do—Anthony arrives when promised, diagnoses the problem himself, and handles the repair start to finish.

Nearly 900 homeowners have reviewed us, and our 4.7-star rating across 892 verified reviews reflects consistent, repeatable work on real chimneys—not a handful of cherry-picked testimonials. Fairwood customers specifically mention our response time: because we’re already serving the north Spokane area daily, we can typically schedule Fairwood repairs within a day or two, not the two-week waits common with general contractors who treat chimney work as a side service.

We also understand the local regulatory landscape that affects your daily life. Fairwood sits under the Spokane Regional Clean Air Agency’s jurisdiction, and SRCAA enforces seasonal wood-burning curtailment days tied to air quality indexes. A properly functioning, inspected chimney documented as your sole heat source can qualify you for exemption on “No Burn” days. That’s not abstract policy—it’s real regulatory and financial value for Fairwood residents who depend on wood heat through brutal eastern-Washington winters. Our Chimney Repair team knows how to document and certify your system to SRCAA standards.

Our Chimney Repair Services in Fairwood

Mortar Repointing

The mid-century ranch homes dominating Fairwood’s 99218 corridor—built from the 1950s through the 1970s—often have original mortar joints that have endured 50+ years of Spokane’s freeze-thaw cycles. When water seeps into cracked mortar and expands as it freezes, the bond between bricks deteriorates. We grind out the damaged mortar to proper depth and repoint with color-matched masonry cement formulated for our continental climate. For a typical Fairwood ranch chimney, mortar repointing runs $450–$950.

Spalling Brick Repair

Spalling—where the brick face flakes or crumbles—is common on Fairwood’s older masonry chimneys after decades of moisture intrusion and thermal stress. We remove damaged bricks and replace with matching units, then seal the chimney crown to prevent recurrence. In Fairwood’s housing stock, we’ve found spalling concentrated on the south and west exposures where wind-driven rain hits hardest. Spalling brick repair on a standard Fairwood chimney typically costs $650–$1,400.

Chimney Waterproofing

Spokane’s 45+ inches of annual snow and sustained sub-freezing temperatures from November through March mean Fairwood chimneys absorb more moisture than systems in milder western-Washington markets. We apply vapor-permeable waterproofing agents that allow the chimney to breathe while blocking liquid water entry. This is especially critical after repointing or spalling repair—we don’t leave a chimney vulnerable to the same damage cycle. Waterproofing treatment for a Fairwood chimney runs $300–$600.

Flashing Repair

Chimney flashing—the metal seal where your chimney penetrates the roofline—is a common failure point after heavy snow loads and ice damming. In Fairwood, we see flashing separation on both the older ranches with low-slope roofs and newer construction with steeper pitches. We fabricate and install custom flashing, integrated with your roofing system, to stop water intrusion at this critical junction. Flashing repair in Fairwood typically costs $350–$800 depending on roof complexity and material matching.

Chimney Rebuilding

When deterioration has compromised structural integrity—multiple courses of spalled bricks, a failed crown, or a shifted flue—we rebuild sections or the full chimney stack. Anthony assesses whether partial rebuild (from the roofline up) or full reconstruction is warranted, and we handle all aspects including liner integration and SRCAA compliance documentation. Partial rebuilds in Fairwood start around $1,800; full rebuilds range $2,500–$4,500.

Tuckpointing

For chimneys where mortar damage is cosmetic or early-stage, tuckpointing provides targeted reinforcement before spalling or structural issues develop. We recommend this preventive approach for Fairwood homeowners with 1960s–70s masonry that’s showing hairline cracks but hasn’t yet suffered major brick damage. Tuckpointing runs $400–$750 for a typical Fairwood chimney.

Trusted Brands We Service in Fairwood

We don’t use generic materials and hope for the best. For liner replacements and rebuilds, we specify DuraFlex stainless steel liners for their durability in high-creosote environments, and HeatShield cerfractory resurfacing for restoring deteriorated flue surfaces without full liner replacement. For caps, crowns, and exterior components, we source from Olympia Chimney and Famco—brands we’ve vetted through 11 years of field installation. We keep common sizes and repair components in stock, which means Fairwood repairs don’t get delayed waiting for parts to ship. When we quote your job, we tell you exactly what material goes where, and why it’s the right choice for your specific chimney type and Fairwood’s heating demands.

Common Chimney Repair Problems We See in Fairwood Homes

• Glazed creosote buildup from near-daily wood burning. Spokane’s frigid winters drive six months of sustained fireplace use, and that frequency accelerates glazed creosote formation far faster than in milder climates. Restricted flues increase fire risk and reduce draft efficiency.
• Spalling brick and mortar deterioration from freeze-thaw cycles. Original masonry chimneys on Fairwood’s 1950s ranches absorb moisture through compromised crowns or flashing, then suffer progressive damage as water expands through repeated freezing. Tuckpointing and waterproofing are essential interventions.
• Liner corrosion in prefabricated metal fireplaces. The 1980s subdivisions in Fairwood often installed prefab metal units that weren’t designed for the heavy seasonal use our climate demands. Liner deterioration leads to drafting problems and potential carbon monoxide hazards.
• Crown cracking and water intrusion. Concrete chimney crowns on mid-century homes develop cracks from thermal cycling and settling, allowing water direct access to the flue and interior masonry. We repair or pour new crowns with proper overhang and drip edges.
