DuPont is at the south end of Pierce County on the shore of Nisqually Reach, tucked between Joint Base Lewis-McChord and Puget Sound, with I-5 exits 118 and 119 at its doorstep. From Renton the drive is I-405 to I-5 and then south through Tacoma and past the base, about 45 minutes off peak. The city is our farthest regular stop to the south, so it is grouped with Lakewood and Steilacoom.
DuPont has two different housing eras. The Historic Village was the DuPont Company town built from 1909 into the 1920s, with wood-frame houses and brick chimneys. Nearly everything else is Northwest Landing, the Weyerhaeuser master-planned community built from the mid 1990s through the 2010s, where fireplaces are factory-built units, many gas, inside framed chases topped with metal chase covers. Chase cover and cap work dominates in Northwest Landing; the Village chimneys need liner and masonry attention.

Local Conditions
Chimney problems we see in Dupont
DuPont sits on a low marine terrace about 200 feet above Nisqually Reach, open to the south and west toward the Nisqually delta, and winter storms come straight up the Sound at it. Wind-driven rain and salt air are the main exposures. In Northwest Landing the chases were built by the hundreds in the 1990s and 2000s with galvanized covers, and those covers are now rusting through on the windward sides, often at the seam around the pipe collar where water collects. Caps take the same beating and lose their screens. The Historic Village chimneys are a century old, built with soft mortar, and salt air has eroded their joints and crowns; many flues were never lined.

Dupont chimney service FAQ
We live in Hoffman Hill and the fireplace is gas. Do we still need an inspection?
Yes, though not for creosote. The gas unit sits inside a framed chase, and the metal chase cover on top is all that keeps storm rain out of the framing. Covers from the Northwest Landing build-out are reaching rust age now. We check cover, collar, cap and vent for a flat $299.
Our Historic Village house dates from the 1910s. Can the original chimney be used for wood?
Only after a camera inspection. The DuPont Company houses were built with unlined brick flues and soft mortar, and a century of salt air off Nisqually Reach has worn the joints. If the flue has gaps, a stainless liner runs $1,200 to $4,500.
We are a military family renting near the base. Can you work with the property manager?
Yes. We send the written inspection report and quote to whoever you name, so the owner or manager can approve repairs without a second visit. The sweep and inspection is $299 regardless.
Why does the wind matter so much in DuPont?
The city faces open water to the south and west, so storms arrive with nothing to slow them. Rain gets driven under chase cover lips and into flashing seams that would stay dry in a sheltered inland neighborhood. Chase cover replacement runs $299 to $1,500 and flashing repair $299 to $3,000.
