How much does a chimney sweep cost in Boulevard Park?
The Chimney Xpert offers a chimney sweep and inspection starting at $99 for homes in Boulevard Park and the greater Seattle area. That price covers a full sweep and a check of the flue, firebox, damper, cap and crown. If we find anything that needs extra attention, such as a cracked crown or a damaged liner, we explain the issue and the cost before any additional work begins. You decide what to approve, with no surprises on the invoice.
What does a chimney sweep and inspection actually cover?
- Removal of soot and creosote buildup from the flue
- A check of the firebox for cracks or damage
- Testing the damper to confirm it opens, closes and seals properly
- A look at the chimney cap to check for rust, gaps or blockage
- An inspection of the crown for cracks that let in water
- A general assessment of the overall chimney condition
How does booking a chimney sweep in Boulevard Park work?
Booking is simple and handled online. Pick a day that works for your schedule and choose a 3-hour arrival window. Our office will call or text to confirm the appointment, and the technician calls about 30 minutes before arrival so you know exactly when to expect us. Boulevard Park is just a short drive from downtown Seattle, so scheduling a visit fits easily into your week.
Why does Boulevard Park's climate make chimney care so important?
Homes in the Seattle area deal with long stretches of damp, rainy weather every fall and winter. That moisture works its way into chimney masonry, speeds up creosote buildup in the flue and can lead to rust on metal caps and dampers. A cracked or aging crown is especially risky here, since standing water and freeze thaw cycles can turn small cracks into bigger structural problems. Regular sweeps and inspections help catch these issues early, before they turn into costly repairs, and keep your fireplace or wood stove safer to use through the wet season.

Frequently asked questions
How often should I have my chimney swept?
Most homeowners who use their fireplace or wood stove regularly should schedule a sweep and inspection once a year, ideally before the rainy season and heavy use begin.
Do you service gas fireplaces as well as wood burning ones?
Yes, we inspect and sweep both gas and wood burning systems, checking the flue, firebox, damper, cap and crown regardless of appliance type.
What happens if you find a problem during the inspection?
We walk you through what we found, explain your options and provide pricing for any additional work before we do anything beyond the standard sweep and inspection.
How far in advance do I need to book?
You can book online for a day and a 3-hour arrival window that fits your schedule. Our office confirms the appointment, and the technician calls about 30 minutes before arriving.
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

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
