Chimneys in Issaquah
Issaquah averages 62.19 inches of rain a year. Seattle, measured at SeaTac, gets about 39 inches. That is roughly 60 percent more water on every roof, crown and flashing joint. A small crack that a drier city could ignore for years will let in a lot of water in Issaquah.
The city sits in a valley at 62 feet, surrounded on three sides by Cougar, Squak and Tiger Mountains. It was incorporated in 1892, and the Issaquah Salmon Hatchery dates from 1936. Homes near the forested hills may find moss, leaves and fallen needles settling on the crown and cap.

Questions from Issaquah homeowners
Does heavy rain really change what my chimney needs?
Yes. More rain means more water in joints and under flashing. In Issaquah, which gets about 62 inches a year, the crown and flashing deserve the most attention.
Does moss on my crown matter?
Moss holds water against the surface, which speeds up cracking. We clean it and check what is underneath.
