Looking for a chimney sweep in Lake Marcel-Stillwater?
The Chimney Xpert covers Lake Marcel-Stillwater as part of our Seattle area service territory, about 20 miles from downtown. Whether you burn wood all winter or just want peace of mind before the rainy season hits, we offer a chimney sweep and inspection starting at $99. No guesswork, no surprise add-ons, just a clear look at the condition of your chimney system.
What does the $99 sweep and inspection cover?
- Full sweep to clear soot and creosote buildup
- Inspection of the flue liner for cracks or damage
- Check of the firebox for wear or deterioration
- Damper operation and seal check
- Cap and crown inspection for gaps, rust, or water entry points
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, not us.
Why does a Lake Marcel-Stillwater chimney need regular sweeps?
Western Washington's wet winters and heavy tree cover mean chimneys here deal with more moisture than most. Rain and condensation work into masonry joints and around caps, which can lead to rust on dampers, spalling brick, and water stains inside the firebox. If you burn wood regularly, creosote builds up faster in a damp climate, raising the risk of chimney fires and poor draft. Homes near the lake and surrounded by trees also tend to collect more debris and moss, which can block flues or hold moisture against the chimney crown. A yearly sweep and inspection catches these issues early, before they turn into costly repairs.
How do I book a chimney sweep appointment?
Booking is simple. Choose a day online and pick a 3-hour arrival window that works for your schedule. Our office will call or text to confirm the appointment, and on the day of service the technician calls about 30 minutes before arrival so you are not stuck waiting around. It is a straightforward process built to fit into a busy homeowner's week.

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.

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
