Boulevard Park sits in the SeaTac lowlands where 38 inches of annual rainfall works into mortar joints year after year. We’ve been driving to this ZIP - 98168 - for decades, and the pattern never changes: original clay-tile liners cracked by thermal shock, crowns eroded by moss and lichen, and fireboxes where the parging has simply fallen away. The homes here were built for Boeing factory workers and their families, solid construction but not designed for sixty-plus years of hard use without maintenance.

Our Chimney Liner & Rebuild Services in Boulevard Park

Stainless Steel Liner Installation

A stainless steel liner is the permanent fix for cracked clay flue tiles, and in Boulevard Park’s 98168 ZIP we install more of these than any other liner type. The original ranch homes here were built with 8″×12″ or 8″×8″ clay flue liners that simply weren’t designed to withstand decades of wood-burning with partially seasoned fuel. We size and install DuraFlex smooth-wall stainless liners with proper insulation to meet NFPA 211 standards, and we pull the permit through King County so you don’t have to navigate unincorporated jurisdiction paperwork.

Flexible Liner for Offset Chimneys

Some Boulevard Park homes have chimney runs with offsets - bends built in to avoid framing members - that rigid liners can’t navigate. Our flexible liner installations use corrugated stainless that bends around obstructions while maintaining proper draft. This matters particularly in the Cape Cod variants scattered through the neighborhood, where chimney construction is less straightforward than the simpler ranch plans. We camera-verify the entire run before and after installation so you know the flue is clear and continuous.

Liner Replacement for Failed Systems

When a previous liner installation has failed - whether from improper sizing, missing insulation, or corrosion from condensing gas appliances - we remove the old material and start fresh. In Boulevard Park’s rental-heavy market, we’ve replaced liners installed by handymen who used the wrong gauge or skipped the top plate seal. Our replacements use proper termination caps, storm collars, and slip connectors so the system breathes correctly and meets Puget Sound Clean Air Agency requirements.

Partial Chimney Rebuild

When the upper courses of brick have spalled beyond repair but the firebox and smoke chamber are sound, a partial rebuild restores structural integrity without the cost of full demolition. Boulevard Park’s marine moisture environment destroys chimney crowns first, then works down through freeze-thaw cycles that pop brick faces. We rebuild with matching brick where possible, pour new concrete crowns with proper drip edges and flashing integration, and finish with a water-repellent treatment formulated for Western Washington’s wet-dry cycling.

Trusted Brands We Service in Boulevard Park

We work exclusively with professional-grade materials - no builder-grade substitutes that fail in this climate. For Boulevard Park homeowners, that means DuraFlex stainless liners rated for the condensing conditions our wet winters create, HeatShield cerfractory sealant for resurfacing damaged smoke chambers without full rebuild, and Famco termination hardware that withstands salt-laden air from Puget Sound. We stock these items on our service vehicles, so most Boulevard Park jobs don’t wait on parts. When we do need to order - for unusual flue dimensions or custom chimney caps - Olympia Chimney and Copperfield supply houses get us materials quickly.

Common Chimney Liner & Rebuild Problems We See in Boulevard Park Homes

• Third-degree creosote on supposedly “functional” chimneys. Boulevard Park residents burning partially seasoned or green wood during damp winters deposit glazed creosote far faster than drier-climate burners. We regularly remove inches of hardened deposits from flues owners believed were clean because smoke still rose.
• Severe mortar erosion from moss and lichen colonization. The persistent moisture in this SeaTac lowland pocket allows moss to root in crown mortar, breaking it apart through biological action and freeze-thaw. By the time homeowners notice vegetation on the chimney, water has already penetrated to the flue.
• Spalling brick from decades of wet-dry cycling without maintenance. Original 1950s-1960s masonry in Boulevard Park was built with solid materials but no water repellent. Sixty years of rain absorption and surface evaporation causes brick faces to pop off, exposing softer interior material to accelerated decay.
• Cracked clay flue tiles from thermal shock in original construction. The ranch and Cape Cod stock in 98168 almost universally contains uninsulated clay flue liners that crack when modern heating appliances cycle hotter and faster than 1960s equipment. Once cracked, tiles shift, gap, and allow combustion gases into wall cavities.
