What does a chimney sweep cost on Fox Island?
The Chimney Xpert offers chimney sweep and inspection service starting at $99 for Fox Island homes. Fox Island sits about 28 miles from downtown Seattle, and we treat it as a regular stop within our Seattle area service range. The $99 price covers the sweep and full inspection. If we find anything else that needs attention, we explain it and give you a price before any extra work starts. You decide what happens next.
What does a chimney inspection actually cover?
- Sweep of the flue to clear soot and creosote buildup
- Check of the firebox for cracks or damaged brick
- Check of the damper for proper seal and operation
- Check of the flue liner for wear or blockage
- Check of the cap and crown for gaps, rust, or water entry points
Any repair or follow up work is explained and priced before we start, so you are never guessing what a job will cost.
Why do Fox Island wood stoves need regular chimney care?
Fox Island sits right on the water, and homes here deal with the same damp, rainy Puget Sound climate as the rest of the Seattle area. That moisture speeds up creosote buildup inside wood stove flues and can accelerate rust and wear on metal caps and crowns exposed to salt air. We have worked on wood stoves on Fox Island, including deep cleaning jobs to clear heavy creosote buildup, plus a cap replacement to keep water and weather out of the flue. Regular sweeps help wood stove owners here avoid slow chimney draw, smoke backup, and the fire risk that comes with a dirty flue.

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
