Looking for a chimney sweep near Fobes Hill?
The Chimney Xpert covers Fobes Hill as part of our regular Seattle area service, about 25 miles from downtown. Western Washington winters bring a lot of damp, cool weather, and that combination is tough on chimneys. Moisture works into masonry and metal caps, while regular wood burning leaves creosote buildup inside the flue. A yearly sweep and inspection catches both problems before they turn into a bigger repair or a safety issue.
What does a $99 chimney sweep and inspection include?
Every visit starts with a full sweep of the flue to clear soot and creosote, followed by a hands-on check of the firebox, damper, cap, and crown. We are looking for cracks, rust, water staining, and anything else that could affect how your chimney vents smoke or holds up against Pacific Northwest rain.
- Sweep of the flue to remove creosote and debris
- Inspection of the firebox and damper for damage or wear
- Check of the chimney cap and crown for cracks or water entry
- Clear explanation of any findings before we move forward
If we find something that needs more work, we explain it and give you a price before any extra work starts. You will never be surprised by a bill you did not agree to first.
How do I book a chimney sweep in Fobes Hill?
Booking is done online. You pick a day that works for you and a 3-hour arrival window, so you are not stuck waiting around all day. Our office calls or texts to confirm the appointment, and the technician calls about 30 minutes before arrival so you can plan the rest of your day around the visit.
Why does chimney maintenance matter in this climate?
Fobes Hill sits in a part of Washington that gets steady rain through fall, winter, and spring. That moisture, combined with moss and organic debris that can build up on rooflines, puts extra strain on chimney caps and crowns over time. Homes that burn wood regularly also build up creosote faster in a humid climate, which raises the risk of chimney fires if it is not cleared out. A yearly sweep and inspection is the simplest way to keep your chimney working safely through another wet Pacific Northwest winter.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a chimney sweep cost in Fobes Hill?
Our chimney sweep and inspection service starts at $99. If we find additional work is needed, we explain it and provide a price before starting anything beyond the standard visit.
How often should I have my chimney swept?
Most homes that use their fireplace or wood stove regularly benefit from a sweep and inspection once a year. This keeps creosote buildup in check and gives us a chance to catch small issues, like a cracked crown, before they get worse.
What happens if you find damage during the inspection?
We walk you through exactly what we found, explain what it means for your chimney, and give you a clear price for any repair work. Nothing extra happens without your approval first.
How does scheduling and arrival work?
You book online and choose a day plus a 3-hour arrival window. Our office confirms the appointment by phone or text, and the technician calls about 30 minutes ahead so you know when to expect them.
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.

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
