Ballard · North Seattle
Ballard is a coveted Shilshole-adjacent neighborhood, shaped by marine air rolling in from the Sound, relentless Seattle drizzle and 1900s-1930s housing with original brick chimneys. Our crew looks after every chimney here — sweep to reline, block by block.

Service-area map — Ballard, WA. Map data © OpenStreetMap contributors.
Ballard is a historic Scandinavian maritime neighborhood on Salmon Bay, set on Salmon Bay and the Ship Canal — a neighborhood of early-1900s Craftsman bungalows and brick buildings alongside new townhomes. Houses like these are why we do this work: character homes whose chimneys were laid by hand generations ago, and which reward a patient, proper look far more than a quick patch.
Sitting on Salmon Bay and the Ship Canal, Ballard takes the marine breeze straight off the water, and its brick lives damp for most of the year. That moisture creeps into century-old mortar joints and rusts caps and dampers ahead of schedule, so up here the top of the stack deserves a closer look than most.
Neighbors know Ballard by the Ballard Locks and Golden Gardens Park. We work every block of the neighborhood — Old Ballard, Loyal Heights included.

Ballard chimney care
Chimneys this age hide their troubles above the roofline and inside the flue. On every Ballard visit we walk the whole system, firebox to crown, and hand you photographs of what we find — so a decades-old stack never has to be taken on faith.
