Chimney problems we see in Lynnwood

Lynnwood sits on the plateau between Puget Sound and I-5, and its chimneys see the full wet season recorded at Sea-Tac: about 73% of the 40.34-inch annual normal falls from October through March, with November the wettest month at 6.31 inches. The region logs roughly 60 days a year at or below freezing while winter lows average close to 37°F, so wet brick crosses the freezing line again and again each winter; that is the cycle that cracks crowns and pops brick faces.

Moss in Western Washington spreads fastest from October through April on shaded, slow-drying surfaces. Lynnwood's older neighborhoods keep big trees, and the north side of a brick stack under a fir canopy stays green and damp most of the year, holding water against the mortar.

Lynnwood's median home was built in 1979. The core of the city is 1960s–80s ramblers and split-levels, and those typically have brick masonry chimneys, often a tall single-flue stack on a split-level with the fireplace in the lower-level family room. The share of apartments and condos near Alderwood has grown, and those buildings typically use factory-built units with framed chases.

So a Meadowdale or Alderwood Manor call typically means a tired crown, open mortar joints and a missing cap on brick, while a newer Martha Lake or condo call typically means a rusted chase cover or a cracked prefab firebox panel.

• Cracked crowns on 1960s–70s brick stacks: crown rebuild

• Rusted chase covers on newer plats and condos: chase cover replacement
• Leaks at the roofline after heavy November rain: flashing repair and leak repair
