Why does a Fort Lewis chimney need regular sweeping?
Western Washington's wet, mild winters are hard on chimneys. Months of rain and damp air let creosote build up slowly inside the flue, and that buildup does not always burn off the way it might in a drier climate. Moss and algae also take hold on masonry caps and crowns faster here than in most parts of the country, which can trap moisture against the chimney and lead to hidden cracks over time. Regular sweeping and inspection catch these issues before they turn into bigger repairs or safety concerns for your home.
What does the $99 chimney sweep and inspection cover?
- Full sweep of the flue to clear creosote and debris
- Check of the firebox for cracks, gaps, or heat damage
- Damper check to confirm it opens, closes, and seals properly
- Inspection of the chimney cap and crown for moisture damage or deterioration
- Clear explanation of any additional work found, with pricing before anything starts
If we find something that needs more attention, like a damaged cap or a crown that is letting water in, we will walk you through it and give you a price before we do any work. You decide what happens next.

Frequently asked questions
How often should a chimney be swept in the Seattle area?
Most homes benefit from an annual sweep and inspection, especially given the wet winters common to Western Washington. If you use your fireplace often, more frequent checks may be worth considering.
Does rain actually affect my chimney?
Yes. Constant moisture can seep into small cracks in the crown or cap, freeze and expand during cold snaps, and gradually worsen damage. Regular inspections catch this early.
What if the technician finds a problem during the sweep?
They will explain what they found and provide a price for any additional work before starting. Nothing extra happens without your approval first.
How do I schedule a chimney sweep in Fort Lewis?
You can book online by choosing a day and a 3-hour arrival window. Our office will confirm by call or text, 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

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
