Need a chimney sweep in Lake Morton-Berrydale?
The Chimney Xpert covers Lake Morton-Berrydale as part of our regular Seattle area coverage, about 22 miles from downtown. Whether you burn wood every weekend or just want peace of mind before the rainy season, we offer a straightforward chimney sweep and inspection starting at $99. No mystery fees, no upsell pressure, just a clear look at your chimney's condition and honest pricing if anything else needs attention.
What does a $99 chimney sweep visit include?
- A full sweep to clear soot and creosote buildup
- Inspection of the flue for cracks, blockages, or damage
- Check of the firebox and damper for proper function
- Look at the chimney cap and crown for wear or water entry points
- Any additional repairs found are explained and priced before we start, so you always know what you are approving
Why does chimney upkeep matter here?
Western Washington's wet winters put real stress on chimney systems. Constant rain and damp air work their way into small cracks in the crown or around the cap, and freeze-thaw cycles can widen those cracks over time. Homes that burn wood regularly also build up creosote faster during the long heating season, which raises the risk of chimney fires if it is not cleared out. An annual sweep and inspection catches these issues early, before they turn into costly masonry or liner repairs.
Moisture is the biggest enemy of a chimney in this climate. A solid cap keeps rain and debris out, while a sound crown keeps water from seeping into the brick and mortar below. Checking both is part of every visit we do.

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
