Need a Chimney Sweep on Ketron Island?
The Chimney Xpert covers Ketron Island as part of our regular Seattle-area service area. Whether you have a wood stove, a fireplace insert, or a traditional masonry fireplace, a clean and sound chimney matters for a home that sits close to the water and takes on plenty of marine moisture year round. We bring the same sweep and inspection process we use across the region right to your door, priced simply and explained clearly before any extra work begins.
What Does a $99 Chimney Sweep Visit Include?
- A full sweep to clear creosote and debris from the flue
- Inspection of the firebox, damper, and smoke chamber
- A check of the chimney cap and crown for damage or wear
- A review of the flue liner condition where visible
- A clear explanation of any repairs needed, with pricing given before work starts
Chimney sweep and inspection visits start from $99. If we find an issue that needs more than a standard sweep, such as a cracked crown or a damaged cap, we walk you through it and get your approval before doing anything further.
How Does Scheduling Work for Ketron Island Homeowners?
Booking is done online. You pick a day that works for you and a three hour arrival window. Our office follows up by phone or text to confirm the appointment, and your technician calls about 30 minutes before arrival so you know exactly when to expect us. This keeps the process simple and predictable, which matters most for homes that rely on a single access point like Ketron Island.
Why Does Puget Sound Weather Make Regular Sweeps Important?
Homes in the Puget Sound region deal with long stretches of damp, cool weather, and that moisture works its way into masonry, caps, and crowns over time. Creosote buildup combines with that dampness to create both a fire risk and a source of slow structural damage if it goes unchecked. A yearly sweep and inspection is the simplest way to catch small issues, like a cracked crown or a worn seal around the cap, before they turn into costly repairs. For a home on Ketron Island, where getting a contractor out can take extra planning, staying ahead of chimney maintenance on a predictable schedule just makes sense.

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.
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
