Need a chimney sweep in Gorst?
The Chimney Xpert serves Gorst as part of our Seattle area coverage. A chimney sweep and inspection starts at $99, and any extra work we find is explained and priced before we do it. No surprises, no pressure, just a straight answer on what your chimney needs.
What does the $99 visit cover?
- Full sweep to clear soot and creosote buildup
- Inspection of the flue liner for cracks or damage
- Check of the firebox and damper for proper function
- Look at the chimney cap and crown for wear or water entry
- Clear explanation of any repairs needed, with pricing before work starts
Why do Gorst chimneys need regular sweeps?
Gorst sits right on Puget Sound, and that means near constant moisture in the air. Rain and humidity work into masonry joints, chimney crowns, and flashing year round, and that moisture speeds up cracking and deterioration if it is not caught early. Homes here also lean on wood stoves and fireplaces during the wet, cool months, which means steady creosote buildup inside the flue. A yearly sweep and inspection keeps that buildup in check and catches small issues, like a hairline crack in the crown or a worn cap seal, before they turn into water damage or a fire hazard.
Whether you run your fireplace occasionally or heat with a wood stove all winter, an annual check is the simplest way to keep your chimney safe and working the way it should.

Our chimney sweep and inspection starts at $99. If we find additional work is needed, we explain it and give you a price before doing anything further.

How do I schedule an appointment?
Book online by picking a day and a 3-hour arrival window. Our office confirms by call or text, and the technician calls about 30 minutes before arriving.
How often should a chimney be swept?
Most homes benefit from a sweep and inspection once a year, especially in a damp climate like the Seattle area where moisture and regular fireplace or wood stove use speed up wear.
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
