Fast, Reliable Chimney Repair Across Spokane Valley
Chimney repair in Spokane Valley typically runs $350-$1,800 depending on scope, and most jobs we schedule are completed the same day we arrive. If you’re seeing crumbling mortar, water stains on your ceiling near the chimney, or bricks flaking apart after another hard winter, you’re dealing with problems that only get costlier the longer you wait.
We’ve been working on chimneys in Spokane Valley since 1984, long before the Sprague Avenue corridor filled in with the shops and restaurants you see today. Our technicians know the housing stock here - the mid-century ranches in Opportunity, the brick homes tucked along the old Spokane River floodplain in Veradale, the hillside builds in Liberty Lake that catch every wind-driven rain. When you call (844) 803-1545, a live person answers, day or night, and we’ll give you a straight answer about what you’re facing and what it’ll take to fix it.
Why Hearthstone Chimney Co. Is Spokane Valley’s Preferred Chimney Repair Company
Forty-two years in this business means we’ve repaired chimneys on homes from Dishman to the Idaho state line. Spokane Valley homeowners tend to stay put - they raised families in these houses, they know every quirk of their fireplace, and they can spot a contractor who talks in circles from a mile away. We don’t do circles. Our Chimney Repair team arrives in uniform, explains what we find in plain English, and documents every inspection with photos you can see for yourself.
Our 90-Day Done Right Promise covers every repair in writing with no arguing. If it’s not right, we come back. That’s the Keystone Standard, and it’s governed by our K.E.Y.S. values code: Krafted right, Every time, Your home first, Standing behind it. Most repairs are completed in a single visit with upfront pricing - the number on the estimate is the number on the invoice. No surprises on the bill. We also handle Fireplace Services in Spokane Valley when your repair needs extend beyond the chimney itself.
Our Chimney Repair Services in Spokane Valley
Mortar Repointing
The freeze-thaw cycles in Spokane Valley are brutal on mortar joints. Water seeps into hairline cracks in fall, expands when temperatures drop into the single digits, and by spring you’ve got mortar turning to powder. In the 1950s-1970s ranch homes that dominate the 99216 ZIP, original lime-based mortar has often deteriorated to the point where the structural integrity of the chimney stack is compromised. We grind out the failed mortar to proper depth and repoint with professional-grade mortar matched to your chimney’s original composition - not the quick-setting bag mix you’ll find at the big-box store on East Sprague.
Spalling Brick Repair
Spalling - bricks flaking, popping, or crumbling - is what we find most often on south- and west-facing chimneys in Spokane Valley. Those exposures take the full force of winter wind and summer sun, and the porous brick used in mid-century construction here wasn’t designed for decades of that punishment. We remove spalled bricks, source matching replacements when possible, and rebuild the affected courses with proper bonding. For severe cases, we may recommend Chimney Cap & Crown in Spokane Valley to prevent the water intrusion that caused the damage in the first place.
Chimney Waterproofing
Spokane Valley’s geography channels cold-air drainage from the surrounding ridges straight through residential neighborhoods, and that persistent wind-driven rain finds every unsealed pore in your masonry. We apply vapor-permeable waterproofing agents from professional-grade lines - never the silicone-based sealers that trap moisture inside and accelerate freeze-thaw damage. A proper waterproofing treatment, applied after any needed repointing, can add fifteen to twenty years to a chimney’s service life in this climate.
Flashing Repair
The junction where your chimney meets the roof is the single most common leak point we see in Spokane Valley homes. Original step flashing from the 1960s and 70s has often corroded, pulled loose, or was never properly integrated with the roof membrane. We fabricate custom flashing details using appropriate materials for your roof type, and we coordinate with roofing materials from trusted brands when necessary. Our technicians carry the tools and stock to handle most flashing repairs without a return trip.

Trusted Brands We Service in Spokane Valley
We work exclusively with professional-grade materials - no builder-grade substitutes that fail in five years. For chimney liner and rebuild work, we specify DuraFlex flexible stainless-steel systems. For waterproofing and restoration, we use HeatShield and Copperfield products formulated specifically for masonry exposed to severe freeze-thaw cycling. We keep common repair components in stock for Spokane Valley customers, which means faster turnaround and no waiting on freight from the coast. When your chimney needs parts, you shouldn’t have to wait because your contractor didn’t plan ahead.
Common Chimney Repair Problems We See in Spokane Valley Homes
- Freeze-thaw mortar failure in mid-century ranches. The 1950s-1970s brick chimneys in Opportunity and Veradale were built with mortar formulations that simply weren’t designed for forty years of single-digit winters. We repoint dozens of these every season.
- Creosote-compromised flue liners from unlined 1970s inserts. During the energy crisis, homeowners here installed wood-burning inserts without proper flexible stainless-steel liner retrofits. Decades of creosote have packed the void between insert collar and original terracotta flue tile - invisible to the eye, a genuine fire risk, and only detectable with a Level-2 camera inspection.
- Wind-driven rain penetration on exposed exposures. Homes on the elevated ground toward Liberty Lake catch weather that more sheltered Spokane neighborhoods don’t. South- and west-facing chimneys show accelerated spalling and flashing corrosion.
- Crown cracks from thermal shock. Spokane Valley’s temperature swings - fifty degrees in a single day isn’t unusual in shoulder season - stress concrete crowns until they crack. Water enters, freezes, and the crown fails completely within a few seasons if unaddressed.
