DuPont is mostly a new town, and that shapes the chimney repairs we do here. Northwest Landing, which covers Hoffman Hill, Palisade, Yehle Park and the streets off Center Drive, was typically built from the 1990s onward with factory-built fireplaces inside framed, sided chases. On those the repairs are a rusted chase cover, a storm collar that has slipped down the pipe, a corroded termination cap, a cracked refractory panel in the firebox or a damper that no longer seals. The Historic Village near Sequalitchew Creek is the exception: the old company-town houses there typically have brick masonry chimneys that need repointing, spalled brick replaced and crowns rebuilt.
We repair both kinds, and we show you photos of the problem before and after. Every DuPont repair starts with a free quote, and if another company has already quoted you we give a free second opinion and price match it plus 10-25% off. Fireplace crack repair starts at $299, a chase cover at $299 and a crown rebuild at $299. DuPont is about 50 minutes from our Renton office straight down I-5 past Tacoma and JBLM, and we route it with Lakewood and Steilacoom, so same-day service is often available. If you are not happy with the repair, we are not done; we fix it at no charge. Certified and insured.
Symptoms
Signs DuPont homeowners notice
- Water stains or bubbling paint on the ceiling or wall next to the fireplace
- Rust-colored streaks running down siding or brick below the top of the chimney
- Chips of brick, mortar, or concrete in the gutter or on the ground
- Visible cracks in the concrete slab at the top of the chimney
- A chimney that leans, or a gap opening between the chimney and the house
- Smoky or musty smells from the fireplace when it is not in use
DuPont Conditions
Why this happens in DuPont
DuPont sits between Puget Sound and the prairie at the edge of JBLM, and its chimneys see the same wet winters as the rest of the region. Sea-Tac's 1991-2020 normals give 40.34 inches of precipitation a year, about 73 percent of it between October and March, on roughly 150-156 days with measurable rain. For a Northwest Landing chase that means a flat steel cover ponding water for half the year and a storm collar that is tested by every storm; for a Historic Village brick chimney it means mortar joints that stay saturated and, as the Brick Industry Association notes, crack and spall once they freeze.
Freezing here is a nightly event rather than a deep freeze. The region records around 60 days a year that touch 32F while winter lows average about 37F, so wet masonry and wet chase framing freeze and thaw over and over through the winter. We schedule mortar and crown work for the dry summer months, July and August at 0.60 and 0.97 inches, and do cover, collar and firebox repairs year-round.
How It Works
Our chimney repair process
Free quote visit
We inspect the chimney top to bottom, photograph what we find, and hand you a written quote. If you have another company's quote, we review it with you.
Diagnose the entry point
We identify which component is actually letting water, smoke, or heat through, instead of replacing parts on guesswork.
Repair in the right order
Top components come first so the structure dries out, then masonry, then the firebox.
Same-day work when possible
Many crown, cap, cover, and flashing repairs are done on the first visit. Masonry and chase rebuilds are scheduled for a dry window.
Walk-through and guarantee
We show you photos of the finished work. If you are not happy, we are not done, and we re-do it at no charge.

Chimney Repair in DuPont — FAQ
We are stationed at JBLM and renting in DuPont. Who handles the chimney repair, us or the landlord?
Usually the owner or property manager, and we work with both. Tell us who to send the quote to and we will inspect, photograph the problem and send a written free quote with the specials spelled out, such as a chase cover starting at $299. We can schedule around your availability and coordinate the key with the manager.
Do you repair the old brick chimneys in DuPont's Historic Village?
Yes. Those company-town houses typically have brick chimneys that are far older than anything in Northwest Landing, and the usual work is repointing open joints, replacing spalled brick on the weather side and rebuilding the crown, starting at $299. We match the mortar color so the repair does not stand out on a historic street. Free quote, price match plus 10-25% off.
How soon can you do chimney repair in DuPont?
We confirm a time by phone or text after you request a quote; same-day service is often available for urgent problems in DuPont and the rest of Pierce County.
