Why do Freeland chimneys need regular sweeps and inspections?
Freeland sits on Whidbey Island, surrounded by Puget Sound marine air. That means damp winters, salt laden air, and long stretches of wood burning season to keep a home warm. Moisture and salt speed up rust on dampers and caps, and heavy creosote buildup is common in homes that rely on a wood stove or fireplace through the cold months. A yearly sweep and inspection clears out creosote and soot, checks for rust or water damage, and catches small problems like a cracked crown or loose cap before they turn into costly repairs or a chimney fire risk.
What does the $99 chimney sweep and inspection cover?
- Full sweep of the flue to remove soot and creosote buildup
- Inspection of the firebox for cracks or heat damage
- Check of the damper to make sure it opens, closes, and seals properly
- Look at the chimney cap and crown for rust, gaps, or cracking that lets in water
- Plain explanation of any findings before any additional work is scheduled or priced
If we find something beyond a standard sweep, such as a damaged crown or a liner issue, we explain what it is and give you a price before any extra work starts. Nothing gets added to the job without your okay first.
How does chimney sweep booking work for Freeland homes?
Booking is done online. You pick a day that works for your schedule and choose a 3 hour arrival window. Our office calls or texts to confirm the appointment, and the technician calls about 30 minutes before arrival so you know when to expect them. This keeps the visit predictable for homeowners who are working, running errands, or just do not want to wait around all day for a service call.
What if my Freeland chimney needs more than a sweep?
Some chimneys on the island show extra wear from the marine climate, things like rusted caps, spalling crowns, or a liner that has seen better days. If our technician finds an issue like this during your inspection, they will walk you through what they see, explain what it means for your chimney, and give you a clear price for the repair. You decide if and when to move forward. The $99 sweep and inspection is the starting point, not a bait and switch, and any added cost is always explained before work begins.

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
