Why do Lake Forest Park chimneys need extra attention?
Lake Forest Park sits in a wet, tree-heavy corner of the Seattle area, and that combination is tough on chimneys. Heavy rain and shade from tall firs keep masonry damp longer than it should be, which speeds up moss growth and cracking in chimney crowns. We have already repaired crowns and stopped an active leak for a homeowner in town, plus handled a waterproofing job to keep future rain out. If your chimney has visible moss, stained bricks, or a musty smell near the firebox, those are signs the crown or flashing may need a look before a small crack turns into a bigger leak.
What does a $99 chimney sweep and inspection cover?
Every visit starts with a sweep and inspection from $99. That includes cleaning the flue, checking the firebox and damper, and looking over the cap and crown for cracks, rust, or water intake. If we find something that needs more work, like a cracked crown or a failing cap, we explain it in plain terms and give you a price before any extra work begins. Nothing gets added to the bill without your okay first.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a chimney sweep cost in Lake Forest Park?
Chimney sweep and inspection service starts at $99. This covers the flue, firebox, damper, cap, and crown. Any extra repairs are priced and explained before work starts.
Do you actually serve Lake Forest Park or just the Seattle area?
We serve Lake Forest Park directly and have completed 4 chimney jobs here over the past two years, including sweeps, crown repairs, and a leak fix.
Why do chimneys in this area get leaks and moss so often?
The wet Pacific Northwest climate and heavy tree cover around Lake Forest Park keep masonry damp, which speeds up moss growth and can crack the chimney crown over time.
Can you service a gas fireplace chimney too?
Yes, we have serviced a gas fireplace appliance in Lake Forest Park. Let us know the appliance type when you book so we bring the right setup.
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
