Need a chimney sweep in Brier?
If your fireplace or wood stove has not been checked this year, a sweep and inspection is the simplest way to know your chimney is safe to use. The Chimney Xpert offers a chimney sweep and inspection in Brier starting at $99. Brier sits about 13 miles from downtown Seattle, and our crews work the whole metro area, so a visit here is a normal part of the route, not a special trip.
What does the $99 visit actually cover?
- A full sweep to clear creosote and debris from the flue
- A check of the firebox and damper for cracks, rust, or parts that stick
- A look at the cap and crown for gaps, wear, or water entry points
- A plain explanation of what we found, in terms you can use
If we find something that needs more work, we explain it and give you a price before any extra work starts. You decide, and there is no pressure either way.
Have you worked on chimneys in Brier before?
Yes. We have completed 2 chimney jobs in Brier over the past 24 months, including sweeps and a cap installation, with our most recent visit in September 2025. It is not a large number, but it reflects the same standard we use across every home in the Seattle area: check the system, be honest about what it needs, and price any added work clearly before starting.
How does booking and the visit day work?
You book online and pick a day along with a 3 hour arrival window that fits your schedule. Our office calls or texts to confirm the appointment, and on the day itself the technician calls about 30 minutes before arriving so you are not stuck waiting around all morning. The visit itself is straightforward: sweep, inspect the flue, firebox, damper, cap, and crown, then walk you through the results.

Frequently asked questions
How often should a chimney be swept in Brier?
Most homes that use a fireplace or wood stove regularly need a sweep once a year. Homes with light or occasional use can sometimes go a bit longer, which is something we can talk through during your inspection.
What are signs my chimney needs attention?
Smoke backing up into the room, a strong odor from the firebox, visible soot buildup, or a damper that will not open or close smoothly are all common signs it is time for a sweep and inspection.
Do you serve homes in Brier even with few past jobs listed?
Yes. Brier is fully within our Seattle area service range, and we book homes here the same way as anywhere else in the metro, with the same $99 sweep and inspection starting point.
What if the inspection finds a problem?
We explain what we found in plain language and give you a clear price for any repair before we start. Nothing extra happens without your okay first.
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
