Alderwood Manor is unincorporated Snohomish County wrapped around the point where I-405 meets I-5 and SR 525, with Lynnwood to the west, Mill Creek to the north and Bothell to the south. From Renton the trip is a single road: I-405 north from the south end of Lake Washington to the Swamp Creek interchange, then 164th Street SW or Ash Way into the neighborhoods. Off peak it is about 40 minutes.
The area was platted in 1917 as small farm tracts, and a few of those farmhouses survive, but most homes date from the 1960s through the 1990s, with split-levels and ramblers on the older streets and two-story subdivisions on the newer ones. That mix means brick masonry chimneys on the older houses and framed chases with metal chase covers and factory-built fireplaces on the newer ones. Sweeps, chase cover replacement and crown repair are the common calls.

Local Conditions
Chimney problems we see in Alderwood Manor
Alderwood Manor sits about 450 feet above sea level on a wooded upland between Swamp Creek and North Creek, far enough from Puget Sound to miss the salt but not the moisture. The tall Douglas fir and cedar that line the 1960s and 1970s streets keep roofs shaded, so moss grows on brick crowns and holds water against the mortar all winter. Framed chases from the 1980s and 1990s take the same shade, and a rusted or ponding chase cover leaks into the framing before anyone sees a stain. Fir needles also pack the mesh on rain caps and choke draft. The usual findings here are cracked crowns, corroded chase covers and soft mortar joints near the roofline.

Alderwood Manor chimney service FAQ
Does the drive from Renton to Alderwood Manor add anything to the price?
No. The sweep and inspection is a flat $299 anywhere we go, including the run up I-405 to the Swamp Creek interchange. We group Alderwood Manor with other Snohomish County stops so the drive is already built into the day.
My 1970s split-level off 164th Street has a brick chimney with white staining. Is that a problem?
White staining is efflorescence, salts carried out of the brick by water moving through it. On the shaded lots near Martha Lake it usually points to a cracked crown or a missing cap letting rain into the masonry. The inspection tells you which, and crown repair runs $299 to $2,500 depending on size.
The chimney on my 1990s house near Alderwood Mall is wood-sided, not brick. What do you check?
That is a framed chase with a factory-built fireplace inside. We check the metal chase cover on top for rust and standing water, the storm collar, the cap and the firebox and pipe. Chase cover replacement is $299 to $1,500 when one has rusted through.
How often should a wood-burning fireplace in Alderwood Manor be swept?
Once a year if you burn regularly, and before the first fire if the house is new to you. Fir needles and moss build up faster on the wooded streets here than in open areas, so caps and covers deserve a look every fall.
