Looking for a chimney sweep in Ames Lake?
The Chimney Xpert serves Ames Lake as part of our regular Seattle area coverage, about 17 miles from downtown. Whether you burn wood a few times a season or run your fireplace all winter, a clean, sound chimney matters in a climate as wet as ours. We offer a chimney sweep and inspection from $99, with straightforward online booking and no guesswork about what you are paying for.
What does the $99 chimney sweep and inspection cover?
- Full sweep to remove creosote and debris from the flue
- Inspection of the firebox for cracks, spalling, or damage
- Check of the damper to confirm it opens, closes, and seals properly
- Look at the cap and crown for gaps, rust, or wear that let in water
- Clear explanation of any issues found, with pricing given before any extra work begins
Why do Ames Lake chimneys need regular attention?
Western Washington's wet, mild winters are hard on chimneys. Constant rain and moisture work their way into small cracks in a crown or gaps around a cap, and freeze-thaw cycles widen those openings over time. Homes that burn wood regularly also build up creosote inside the flue, which raises the risk of a chimney fire if it is not cleaned. An annual sweep and inspection catches these problems early, before they turn into costly repairs or a chimney that is not safe to use.
How does booking a chimney sweep in Ames Lake work?
Booking is simple. You pick a day online and choose a 3-hour arrival window that fits your schedule. Our office calls or texts to confirm the appointment, and the technician calls about 30 minutes before arrival so you are not left waiting around all day. If we find anything beyond a standard sweep and inspection, we walk you through it and give you a price before any work starts.

How do I schedule a chimney sweep?
You can book online by picking a day and a 3-hour arrival window. Our office will call or text to confirm, and the technician calls about 30 minutes before showing up.
How often should a chimney be swept?
Most homes that use their fireplace or wood stove regularly need a sweep and inspection once a year. This keeps creosote buildup in check and catches small issues with the cap, crown, or firebox before they become bigger repairs.
When was the last time you cleaned your Chimney?
Over 25,000 chimney fires in the U.S. last year were responsible for over $120 million in property damage. Chimney fires can quickly spread into house fires in a relatively short period of time.
Top 3 Reasons to Sweep your Chimney
The importance of yearly chimney inspections and sweepings cannot be understated, as they are the one true way to minimize the likelihood of a chimney fire sparking in the first place. The fact is that clean chimneys simply don’t catch fire.
- Prevent Chimney Fires
- Protect Your Health
Breathing the fumes from gas or solid fuel fires can be dangerous—or even fatal. - Avoid Smoke Damage
If a chimney is not cleaned regularly, soot will accumulate around the flue. This makes it difficult for the flue to draw the smoke upwards and can cause the smoke to enter your room. This soot will leave a black film around your hearth and soil any furniture, carpeting, or nearby decor. Smoke can also leave black stains around your chimney, which can be difficult or sometimes impossible to remove.
What Degree of Creosote is in Your Chimney?
A buildup of creosote is the main reason why it’s important to have your chimney cleaned and inspected annually, but did you know that there are three degrees, or stages, of creosote?
Soot: While not dangerous, soot is flammable and spreads easily, leaving dirt stains in your home and potentially causing respiratory illnesses.
Creosote flakes: If soot isn’t addressed in a timely manner, over time it can morph into larger flakes, which are highly flammable and more difficult to remove.
Tar creosote: Severe disrepair. At this stage, the creosote coalesces to form a thick, extremely flammable paste along the walls of the chimney. The tar releases gasses, which remain in the chimney flue until a fire is lit. At that point, the gasses as well as the tar will catch fire almost immediately.
Chimney Fire Causes
Factors that increase risk of chimney fires include:
- Failing to have your chimney swept often enough, which can lead to soot buildup
- Blockages such as soot buildup, animal nests, or bits of foliage in your chimney that can restrict air flow
- Burning wet or unseasoned wood, which increases the production of creosote

David was prompt and very professional. He inspected and cleaned the fireplace & went over everything that he did and provided valuable information. Price was better that competitor's. I will definitely continue to do business with this company.

Professional and polite company-I was able to get in the schedule the following week of my initial request for service. My tech was Conner and he did a great job. Going to have them back to repair the fireplace gas line.

Can't say enough good things about this company. James is extremely easy to communicate with, and is glad to answer any questions. The installers were extremely quick, but did a very quality job, at an affordable price. If I need any future chimney work I will definitely be coming back to Chimney Master Dallas.

I will try to keep this short and sweet! From dealing with the owner about what our needs really were to keeping the communication lines open and his team installing our new Buck Stove.
There is no way I could have been any more pleased with the entire experience. Their team are "First Class" all the way
