As daytime temperatures climb across the Puyallup Valley this summer, our team at Daniel T. Chimney Corp is seeing how the shift from damp spring rains to dry heat impacts historic mortar joints and vintage brickwork. Summer weather brings unique thermal expansion stresses to older chimneys throughout our local neighborhoods.
How Does Puyallup's Summer Heat Affect Vintage Brick Chimneys?
Puyallup experiences significant weather shifts, transitioning from heavy moisture retention in the spring to sudden baking sunshine in July and August. For older homes near the River Road area, this cycle causes retained water inside porous historic bricks to expand rapidly. When moisture evaporates under intense summer sun, fragile lime-based mortar can crack or crumble. Scheduling a professional evaluation via our services/ allows our technicians to spot hairline cracks before autumn arrives.
