Chimney service in Everett
Exposure — wind off the water and salt in the air. What we run into here, and why it is not what we run into three miles away.
What Everett chimneys are actually like
Everett chimneys weather faster than their inland equivalents, and the reason is simply exposure. Wind coming off Puget Sound carries both moisture and salt, and both work on masonry and on metal. Caps and chase covers here have a shorter life than the same components installed twenty miles east.
Toward the edges of the city, wood stoves are still the primary heat source in a lot of houses rather than a weekend fire, and heavy use plus a long season is exactly the combination that produces degree 3 creosote. If yours runs most days from October to March, an annual sweep is not a precaution, it is maintenance.
