Call (844) 803-1545

Russell Haines built Hearthstone Chimney Co. on the belief that a chimney should be the last thing you worry about. In Cheney, where winter stretches from October through March and wood stoves work overtime in converted student rentals, that means showing up when we say we will, documenting what we find with photos you can see, and fixing it so you don’t think about it again - whether you need Chimney Cleaning & Sweep - Cheney or a full repair. Our technicians carry professional-grade materials from DuraFlex, HeatShield, and Famco on every truck, and a live person answers our phones at (844) 803-1545 around the clock.

Why Hearthstone Chimney Co. Is Cheney’s Preferred Chimney Repair Company

We’ve been serving communities like Cheney for over 42 years. That longevity matters here because chimney problems in this town follow patterns you only recognize after decades on the scablands. We know the early-1900s homes along 1st Street with their original masonry fireplaces, the mid-century ranch conversions near EWU’s campus, and the newer construction south of Betz Road where builders sometimes cut corners on crown slope and flashing detail.

Our reputation in Cheney rests on documentation. Every Level-2 camera inspection ends with dated photos and a plain-English verdict - no jargon, no scare tactics, just what is cracked, what is sound, and what needs watching. The 90-Day Done Right Promise backs every repair in writing: if it’s not right, we come back, no paperwork and no arguing. Background-checked, uniformed technicians arrive in marked vehicles, and most repairs finish in one visit because our trucks carry the parts.

Calls route to a live person 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Not a callback queue. Not an app. A real voice that knows Cheney is 16 miles southwest of Spokane on the exposed plateau, where a chimney crown that would last twenty years in Seattle might fail in eight here.

Our Chimney Repair Services in Cheney

Mortar Repointing

Cheney’s original brick chimneys, many built during the railroad era and now serving rental properties near EWU, suffer mortar deterioration accelerated by sharper freeze-thaw cycles than the Spokane Valley below. We grind out failed joints to proper depth and repoint with color-matched, professional-grade mortar rated for Columbia Plateau temperature swings. A typical mortar repointing job on a Cheney chimney runs $450-$950.

Spalling Brick Repair

Spalling - brick faces flaking off from moisture penetration - shows up constantly in Cheney’s older housing stock, especially on chimneys with cracked crowns that went unreported through winter tenant turnover. We remove damaged brick, address the water source, and rebuild with matching units so the repair disappears into the original wall. Spalling brick repair in Cheney typically costs $380-$720 for localized damage, or $1,200-$1,800 for extensive rebuilds.

Chimney Waterproofing

At roughly 2,400 feet on the Channeled Scablands, Cheney takes more direct wind and driving snow than communities to the northeast. Our waterproofing treatment uses vapor-permeable sealers from professional-grade suppliers that let the chimney breathe while blocking water entry. We apply it after any masonry repair so you’re not sealing cracks inside. Expect $280-$550 for waterproofing on a standard Cheney chimney.

Flashing Repair

Flashing failures are among the most common calls we get after Cheney’s heavy snow seasons melt off. Water stains on ceilings near the chimney breast often trace to corroded step flashing or failed counterflailing on roofs that saw decades of freeze-thaw without maintenance. We fabricate and install proper flashing with integrated waterproofing membranes. Flashing repair in Cheney runs $320-$680 depending on roof pitch and accessibility.

Trusted Brands We Service in Cheney

We stock professional-grade materials from DuraFlex, HeatShield, and Copperfield on every service truck, which means most Cheney repairs need no ordering delay. These are not builder-grade substitutes. DuraFlex stainless liners handle the creosote loads we see in heavily used Cheney fireplaces. HeatShield cerfractory resurfacing restores eroded flue tiles without a full Chimney Liner & Rebuild in Cheney. Copperfield supplies the crown repair mixes formulated for severe freeze-thaw zones exactly like this one. When a landlord near EWU calls with water in the firebox and tenants moving in Saturday, that local inventory is the difference between a same-day fix and a week of callbacks.

Common Chimney Repair Problems We See in Cheney Homes

• Crown cracks from freeze-thaw exposure. Each spring, technicians working rental properties near EWU routinely find chimney crowns cracked open by cycles that went unreported all winter. Water infiltrates the firebox, and neither the outgoing student tenant nor the landlord noticed until our inspection.
• Creosote-compromised flue tiles. Cheney’s extended heating season, paired with renters burning green or unseasoned wood to cut costs, accelerates creosote buildup to levels unusual in milder markets. That acidic residue erodes terracotta flue tiles from the inside out.
• Failed flashing after heavy snow years. The scablands plateau sees snowfall that lingers longer than in Spokane Valley, and melt patterns expose flashing gaps that flatland chimneys rarely face. We trace ceiling stains back to these failures regularly in homes along Anderson Road and beyond.
• Deteriorated mortar in century-old stacks. Cheney’s core of early-to-mid 20th century homes, many converted to student housing, retain original masonry with mortar joints that have never been repointed. The sand-based mortars of that era simply weren’t formulated for 120 years of high-plateau weather.
