High Point, King County
Our floor for relining a flue in High Point is $1,900, which covers a stainless liner from the smoke chamber to the top, and the figure climbs with flue height, offsets and insulation. It is also the service we recommend least often here. Relining repairs a masonry flue whose clay tiles have cracked or gone missing, and a large part of this neighborhood was built too recently to have that problem.

Where relining does come up is on the streets that ring the redevelopment and in the wider area around 35th Avenue SW, where houses built before 1960 still stand. If your home is one of those and has a brick chimney, the liner inside may be the original clay. If your home is in the rebuilt blocks and has a factory-built fireplace, there is nothing to reline: a damaged section of a listed metal flue is replaced with the maker's own part.
The Census groups High Point with streets that reach from the Junction's east side toward the Delridge valley. In that ZIP code area, American Community Survey estimates put 28.8 percent of housing units at 2000 or later, about 20.2 percent before 1940, and 27.9 percent in the 1940s and 1950s. The newest share is largely the redevelopment, which Wikipedia describes as replacing all the earlier housing.
So the map splits cleanly. Inside the rebuilt area a clay-tile liner would be a surprise. A few blocks away, a house from the 1940s that still has its first flue is a plausible candidate for the camera, and for steel if the tiles have failed.
Every chimney relining we do in High Point includes:
Smoke coming back into the room, or a smell that won't go? Book the inspection first.
Book nowA cracked liner is found with a camera, never by guesswork. We run the scan, show you the footage and only then talk about steel. For insert jobs the Seattle Mechanical Code is specific: the insert needs a UL 1482 listing, with the label to prove it, and has to go in the way its manufacturer directs, which in practice means a liner sized to the appliance collar. Whether a permit applies to your relining is something we check with SDCI before the job, not after.
The camera run documents the damage; we measure height, offsets and the smallest opening.
Diameter, alloy and insulation are chosen for the fuel and the appliance, and written into the quote.
Working from the roof, we feed the steel down the flue, couple its lower end to the appliance, then finish the crown end with its plate and cap.
We confirm draft, photograph the finished top and bottom, and hand over the liner's paperwork.

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.
Very unlikely. If the system is a factory-built flue or a direct vent, as is common in construction of that age generally, it is not relined at all: a damaged section is swapped for the listed replacement part.
You watch the footage with the technician and keep a copy. The camera inspection is $99 plus tax, and when you sign off on a relining quote we subtract that amount from the job.
We do not state a blanket rule, because the city pages we could read do not give one for liners. SDCI gets the question about your particular job before we schedule anything.
