How much does a chimney sweep cost in Artondale?
A chimney sweep and inspection starts at $99. That visit covers a full sweep along with a check of the flue, firebox, damper, cap, and crown. If we find anything that needs more work, such as a damaged liner or a cracked crown, we explain the issue and give you a price before any extra work begins. No surprises on the invoice.
Why do Artondale chimneys need regular attention?
Homes in the Seattle area deal with a lot of rain and damp air for much of the year, and Artondale is no exception given its close proximity to Puget Sound. That kind of moisture works its way into masonry and metal chimney parts, speeding up rust, staining, and moss growth on the crown and cap. Add in the creosote that builds up from regular wood burning season after season, and you have a chimney that needs a yearly look to stay safe and draft properly. A sweep and inspection catches these issues early, before they turn into bigger repairs.
What does a sweep and inspection visit include?
- A full sweep to clear soot and creosote buildup
- A check of the flue for cracks, blockages, or creosote glaze
- A look at the firebox and damper for proper function and wear
- An inspection of the cap and crown for moisture damage or gaps
- A clear explanation of any repairs needed, with pricing before we start

Frequently asked questions
How often should I have my chimney swept?
Most homes that burn wood regularly need a sweep once a year. If you burn less often, every other year may be enough, but an annual inspection is still a good idea to catch moisture or pest issues early.
What if the inspection finds a problem?
We walk you through what we found, explain the options, and give you a firm price before any repair work begins. You decide if and when to move forward.
Do you work on gas fireplace chimneys too?
Yes, both wood burning and gas appliances need regular flue and venting checks to make sure they are drafting safely.
How does the arrival window work?
You pick a day and a 3-hour arrival window when you book online. Our office confirms by call or text, and the technician calls about 30 minutes before showing up.
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
