Why do Kingston chimneys need regular sweeps?
Kingston sits right on Puget Sound, and that marine climate means damp air most of the year. Moisture works its way into masonry, metal caps, and crowns, and it speeds up rust and cracking if a chimney is not checked regularly. If you burn wood through our wet fall and winter months, creosote builds up faster in a damp flue than it would in a dry inland climate. A yearly sweep and inspection is the simplest way to catch these issues before they turn into bigger repairs or a chimney fire risk.
What does the $99 chimney sweep and inspection cover?
- A full sweep of the flue to clear creosote and debris
- Inspection of the firebox and damper for cracks, rust, or operating issues
- Check of the cap and crown for water damage or deterioration
- A clear explanation of anything we find, with pricing given before any extra work starts
How does booking a chimney sweep in Kingston work?
Booking is done online. You pick a day that works for you and a 3-hour arrival window. After you book, our office calls or texts to confirm the appointment, and on the day of service the technician calls about 30 minutes before arrival so you know exactly when to expect us. No guessing, no waiting around all day.
What should Kingston homeowners watch for between cleanings?
Between sweeps, keep an eye out for a strong smoky smell in the house, white staining on the outside masonry, or visible gaps around the cap and crown. In our region, birds and small animals sometimes nest in uncapped chimneys during the wetter months, which can block airflow. If you notice any of these signs, it is worth scheduling an inspection sooner rather than later.

Frequently asked questions
How often should I have my chimney swept?
Most homes that burn wood regularly need a sweep once a year. If you burn less often, every other year may be enough, but an annual inspection is still a good idea given our damp climate.
Do you only work on wood-burning fireplaces?
We inspect and sweep chimneys connected to wood stoves and fireplaces, and we check dampers, fireboxes, caps, and crowns as part of every visit regardless of how the chimney is used.
What happens if you find damage during the inspection?
We explain what we found in plain terms and give you a price before any additional work begins. You decide whether to move forward.
How much does a chimney sweep cost in Kingston?
Chimney sweep and inspection service starts at $99. Any additional work is quoted separately and always approved by you first.
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

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
