Edgewood occupies the hilltop north of the Puyallup River valley in Pierce County, with Milton and Fife on the west, Sumner to the east and Puyallup below to the south. SR 161, Meridian Avenue East, runs through the middle of it. From Renton we take SR 167 south through Kent and Auburn, then climb Jovita Boulevard or Meridian onto the plateau. Off peak the trip is about 30 minutes.
Edgewood incorporated in 1996 and has kept a rural feel, with larger lots and homes from the 1960s through the 1990s along the older county roads, many with brick chimneys and wood stoves. Subdivisions built from the 2000s through the 2020s on former farm and orchard land use framed chases with metal chase covers and factory-built fireplaces. Sweeps, crown repair and cap replacement on the older brick, and chase cover work on the newer streets, are the typical calls.

Local Conditions
Chimney problems we see in Edgewood
Edgewood sits roughly 400 feet above the Puyallup valley floor on the northern edge of the plateau, and the south rim is exposed to wind funneling up the valley from Commencement Bay. Homes on that rim take rain almost horizontally in a storm, and that finds the joint between a chase cover and its collar or lifts flashing on the windward side of a brick stack. Away from the edge the lots are wooded with fir and maple, and moss on crowns and covers is the bigger issue; it holds water on the brick through freeze-thaw nights the plateau gets more often than the valley. Older wood-stove chimneys often have creosote-glazed flues and cracked mortar crowns.

Edgewood chimney service FAQ
Our house on the south edge of Edgewood looks down at Puyallup. Why does the chimney leak only in storms?
The rim of the plateau takes wind straight up the valley, so rain hits the chimney sideways instead of falling on it. That pushes water under flashing and chase cover lips that are fine in calm rain. Flashing and leak repair runs $299 to $3,000 depending on what has to be rebuilt.
We heat with a wood stove on a 1970s Edgewood acreage. How often does the flue need sweeping?
At least once a year, and twice if it is the main heat source. Slow overnight burns build glazed creosote quickly. The sweep and inspection is a flat $299 and includes a camera look at the liner, which on 1970s masonry is often cracked clay tile.
Is the Jovita area part of your Edgewood route?
Yes. Jovita and the streets off Jovita Boulevard are the first part of Edgewood we reach coming up from SR 167, and they are routed with Milton and the rest of the plateau.
Our 2010s subdivision home has a metal top on the chimney with a rust spot. Is that urgent?
A rust spot on a chase cover means the galvanized coating has failed and a hole is next, usually at a low corner where water ponds under moss. Replacing it before it leaks into the chase framing costs $299 to $1,500; waiting can add drywall and framing repair.
