A standard chimney sweep and inspection starts at $99. That covers a full check of the flue, firebox, damper, cap and crown, plus a professional cleaning to clear soot and creosote buildup. If we find anything that needs further attention, like a cracked crown or a chimney that needs a new cap, we explain exactly what it is and what it costs before any extra work begins. No surprises on the invoice.
What does a chimney sweep visit include?
- Full sweep to remove soot and creosote from the flue

How do I book a chimney sweep on Bainbridge Island?
Booking is simple. Pick a day online and choose a 3-hour arrival window that works for your schedule. Our office follows up with a call or text to confirm the appointment, and on the day of service your technician calls about 30 minutes before arrival so you know exactly when to expect us. Bainbridge Island is about 9 miles from downtown Seattle, and we work throughout the Seattle area, so getting to your home is never a problem.
Why does Bainbridge Island's climate matter for your chimney?
Living on Bainbridge Island means dealing with a wet, marine climate for much of the year. Constant rain and humidity promote moss and algae growth on chimney caps and crowns, which can trap moisture and accelerate deterioration. Damp conditions also make it harder to fully dry firewood, and burning wood that is not properly seasoned leads to faster creosote buildup inside the flue. That buildup is a leading cause of chimney fires and reduces how efficiently your fireplace or wood stove runs. Regular sweeping and inspection is one of the simplest ways to protect your home and keep your chimney working safely through the region's long wet season and the cooler months when you rely on it most.

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

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
