Need a chimney sweep near Indianola?
The Chimney Xpert covers Indianola as part of our Seattle area service territory, about 13 miles from downtown by way of the ferry and local roads. If you burn wood or gas through the cold, wet Puget Sound season, your chimney needs a yearly check to keep it safe and drawing properly. We bring the same sweep and inspection process we use across the metro area straight to your door in Indianola.
What's included in the $99 chimney sweep and inspection?
- Full sweep to clear creosote and debris from the flue
- Inspection of the firebox and damper for damage or wear
- Check of the chimney cap and crown for cracks, rust, or gaps
- Look for signs of moisture intrusion, a common issue in our marine climate
- Any repair or additional work is explained and priced before we start, so there are no surprises
Why does Indianola's climate matter for your chimney?
Kitsap Peninsula homes deal with a lot of rain, salt air, and damp winters. That moisture works its way into masonry and metal chimney parts, softening mortar, rusting caps, and speeding up creosote buildup inside the flue. A yearly sweep and inspection catches these problems early, before they turn into a blocked flue, a leaking crown, or a chimney fire risk. Regular care is especially important if your home sits close to the water or under heavy tree cover, both common in this area.

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
