Need a chimney sweep in Lake Stevens?
The Chimney Xpert has completed 15 chimney jobs in Lake Stevens over the past two years, everything from sweeps and inspections to cap and crown repair. We're based in the Seattle area, about 30 miles from downtown, and we bring the same $99 chimney sweep and inspection to Lake Stevens that we run across the rest of the metro. A yearly sweep keeps creosote from building up in the flue and gives you an early look at anything that needs attention before the wet season sets in.
What does the $99 sweep and inspection cover?
Every visit includes a full sweep along with a check of the flue, firebox, damper, cap and crown. These are the parts of a chimney that take the most wear, and in western Washington they also take the most moisture. We look for creosote buildup, cracks, loose mortar, and any sign that water is getting where it shouldn't. If we find something that needs more work, we explain what it is, why it matters, and what it costs before any extra work starts. You always get to decide before we move forward.
What kind of chimney work do Lake Stevens homes need?
Around Lake Stevens we've worked on wood stoves, a pellet stove, gas fireplaces and wood-burning fireplaces. Recent jobs in the area have included a drip edge crown replacement with flue work, flashing installation, cap replacement, firebox repair and a chase cover replacement. Lake Stevens sees the same wet winters as the rest of the Puget Sound region, and steady rain is hard on crowns, flashing and caps in particular. These are the spots we check closest on every visit, since a small crack or gap in any of them can let water into the chimney system long before it shows up as a leak inside the house. Homes near the lake often lean on a wood stove or fireplace for extra heat through the fall and winter, which makes a yearly check even more worthwhile.
How do I book a chimney sweep in Lake Stevens?
Booking is online. Pick a day and a 3-hour arrival window, and our office will call or text to confirm the appointment. On the day of your visit, your technician calls about 30 minutes ahead so you know exactly when to expect us. No guessing, no waiting around the house all day for a truck that might show up sometime between eight and five.

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
