What does the $99 chimney sweep and inspection cover in Black Diamond?
For $99 you get a full chimney sweep along with a check of the flue, firebox, damper, cap, and crown. This gives you a clear picture of how your chimney is holding up and whether anything needs attention before your next fire. If we find a problem, like a cracked crown or a damper that needs adjustment, we explain what it is and what it costs before any extra work begins. No pressure, no surprise charges.
Why do Black Diamond homes need regular chimney care?
Black Diamond sits in a wetter, more wooded part of the Seattle area, and that climate is tough on chimneys. Months of rain and damp air let moisture work into masonry, rust metal components, and slow the drying of creosote inside the flue. Homes here also tend to rely on wood stoves and fireplaces more than city properties do, which means more burn cycles and faster creosote buildup over a season. A yearly sweep and inspection catches these issues early, before they turn into costly repairs or a safety hazard.
Wooded lots also mean more debris and the occasional animal looking for a warm, dry place to nest. A cap in good condition keeps rain, leaves, and critters out of the flue, and it is one of the first things we check during every visit.
How do I book a chimney sweep in Black Diamond?
Booking is simple. Pick a day and a 3-hour arrival window online, and our office will call or text to confirm the appointment. On the day of service, your technician calls about 30 minutes ahead so you know exactly when to expect them. No waiting around all day guessing.
What signs mean your chimney needs attention sooner?
- A smoky smell in the room even when the damper is open
- Poor draft or smoke backing up into the house
- Visible soot or flakes around the firebox opening
- Water stains on the ceiling or wall near the chimney
- Scratching sounds that suggest an animal has gotten into the flue or cap
Any of these are a good reason to schedule a sweep and inspection rather than wait for the next scheduled season.

How do I schedule an appointment?
Book online by choosing a day and a 3-hour arrival window. Our office will call or text to confirm, and your technician will call about 30 minutes before arriving.
How often should a chimney be swept in a climate like this?
Most homes that burn wood regularly benefit from a sweep and inspection once a year. The damp Pacific Northwest climate can speed up creosote buildup and moisture damage, so an annual check helps catch problems early.
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.
Very pleased with the professionalism and promptness of service. Chad was very helpful and courteous and the work was done quickly and efficiently at significantly less cost than the first quote we received. Happy to recommend Chimney Xpert.
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
