Snoqualmie, King County
Relining a chimney in Snoqualmie starts at $1,900. For that you get stainless steel from the appliance connection up to the cap, in one piece. Height, the number of bends, the diameter the appliance calls for and whether insulation is needed decide how far above that starting figure a job lands. The liner is the inner wall of the flue: it carries heat and exhaust to the top and keeps both away from the structure around it.

Age is the first thing we ask about. Census estimates put 7.1 percent of Snoqualmie's housing, 341 homes, at 1939 or earlier, and those sit mostly around the historic town founded on hops, rail and lumber. A flue that old may reflect building practices from before today's code, may have been altered when the heating changed, or may never have been looked at with a camera. None of that can be read from the street. No source breaks the town's chimneys down by type, so the camera decides.
At the Snoqualmie Falls cooperative station, whose record runs from 1898 to 2016, December averaged 8.61 inches of precipitation, November 8.49 and January 8.25. The city's hazard annex makes a similar point in its own terms: about two-thirds of the year's precipitation arrives between mid-October and late February.
A liner feels that concentration. Water that gets past a cap runs down the inner wall, sits in the joints between clay tiles and mixes with soot. On a metal liner it shows up as rust at the seams. When we find liner damage in Snoqualmie, we also look for the water path that caused it, because a new liner under the same leak will not last.
Every chimney relining we do in Snoqualmie includes:
Smoke coming back into the room, or a smell that won't go? Book the inspection first.
Book nowThe other 75 percent of the housing went up between 2000 and 2019 on Snoqualmie Ridge. The city's hazard annex notes those developments were built under contemporary codes. Relining questions there are rarely about age. They come up when an appliance is swapped for one that needs a different flue size, when water has reached a metal liner from a failed cap, or when a past flue fire is suspected. Putting in or replacing a fireplace or stove in the city takes a mechanical permit, which we raise at the quote stage.
A camera travels the full height and the footage is kept, so the reason for relining is on file and not a matter of opinion.
Liner diameter, length, insulation and connection parts are chosen from the appliance data and the measured flue.
The old flue is swept, obstructions are dealt with, and the new liner is fed from the roof to the appliance.
The bottom is connected, the top is plated and capped, and the draft is checked with the appliance running.

Four steps, each one on paper — so you always know what happens next.
Choose a genuine opening on the crew's calendar. Confirmation is immediate.
Liner, crown, cap, flashing and masonry examined in order — each finding photographed.
One document, plain numbers, covering only the work your chimney genuinely needs.
The repair is completed, then handed over with before-and-after photos of every item.
Because the figure covers a continuous stainless liner from appliance to cap, the top hardware and the labor on the roof. Short single-story runs sit near the start; tall or offset flues cost more.
It is charged first: $99 plus tax, camera pass included. Once you approve the relining quote, we subtract it.
The city requires a permit to put in, relocate or replace a mechanical appliance, fireplaces and stoves included. When a liner goes in together with a new appliance, plan for that permit; mechanical applications run through MyBuildingPermit.
