Chimneys in Fife
Fife is a tideflat community. Its elevation is 20 feet, parts of it are in the Puyallup River floodplain, and in some places the water table is only 10 to 15 feet below the ground. Damp ground can keep the air humid, and brick and mortar dry slowly.
Fife is a small city with 4,326 housing units. The first settlers arrived in the late 1890s, and Interstate 5 opened through the city on October 10, 1962. Flashing, the crown and a breathable sealer are the best protection from constant damp.

What Fife homes ask us about most
Questions from Fife homeowners
Does a high water table affect a chimney?
Not the chimney directly, but damp ground keeps the air humid and brick wet for longer. A sound crown, good flashing and a breathable sealer all help.
Is Fife mostly homes or businesses?
Both. The opening of I-5 in 1962 brought commercial development, and the city has 4,326 housing units. We work on residential chimneys.
