Need a chimney sweep on Hat Island?
The Chimney Xpert offers chimney sweeps and inspections starting at $99 for homes in the Seattle area, including island communities like Hat Island. Whether you use your fireplace every weekend or just a few times a winter, a clean and checked chimney keeps your home safer and your heating system working the way it should.
Why does island living put extra wear on a chimney?
Homes on Hat Island sit close to the water, and that means more moisture and salt in the air than a typical inland property deals with. Salt air speeds up corrosion on metal caps, dampers and flue liners, while the damp Puget Sound climate adds to creosote buildup inside the flue. Chimneys here often need a closer look simply because of the environment they sit in, not because of how often they are used.
What does the $99 chimney sweep and inspection cover?
- A full sweep to clear soot and creosote from the flue
- A check of the firebox and damper for wear or damage
- An inspection of the chimney cap and crown for cracks or gaps
- A look at overall chimney condition so small issues are caught early
If we find something that needs more than a standard sweep, we explain it clearly and give you a price before any extra work begins. You decide what happens next, with no pressure and no surprise charges.

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.
Very pleased with the professionalism and promptness of service. Chad was very helpful and courteous and the work was done quickly and efficiently at significantly less cost than the first quote we received. Happy to recommend Chimney Xpert.
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
