How much does a chimney sweep cost in Chain Lake?
A chimney sweep and inspection starts at $99. That covers a full sweep along with a check of the flue, firebox, damper, cap, and crown. If we find anything that needs more work, like a cracked crown or a damaged liner, we explain it and give you a price before any extra work starts. No surprise charges.
What does a chimney sweep visit actually cover?
- Sweep of the flue to clear creosote and debris
- Inspection of the firebox for cracks or wear
- Check of the damper to confirm it opens, closes, and seals properly
- Look at the cap and crown for damage or water entry points
- Clear explanation of any repairs needed, with pricing upfront
Why does Chain Lake's weather matter for your chimney?
Chain Lake sits about 26 miles from downtown Seattle, right in the wet, mild climate that defines this part of Washington. Long stretches of rain and damp air are hard on chimneys. Moisture works into small cracks in the crown, rusts metal dampers and caps, and feeds moss growth on masonry. A chimney cap and solid crown are your first line of defense against that kind of water damage, and a yearly inspection catches problems while they are still small and inexpensive to fix.

Frequently asked questions
What is included in the $99 chimney sweep?
The $99 price covers a full sweep plus an inspection of the flue, firebox, damper, cap, and crown. Any additional work is explained and priced before we start.
How often should a chimney be swept in the Seattle area?
Most homes that use their fireplace or wood stove regularly benefit from a sweep and inspection once a year, especially given the wet climate here that can speed up wear on caps and crowns.
Do I need to be home during the appointment?
Yes, someone should be home so the technician can access the fireplace and discuss any findings with you directly.
How does the arrival window work?
After you book online, you will get a 3-hour arrival window for your chosen day. 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.
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
