What does a $99 chimney sweep and inspection cover?
- Full sweep to clear creosote and debris from the flue
- Inspection of the flue liner for cracks, blockages, or buildup
- Check of the firebox for damage or wear
- Damper operation check for a proper seal
- Cap and crown inspection to catch water entry points early
- Clear explanation and pricing for any repairs before work begins
This covers the essentials every homeowner needs to know their chimney is safe to use, without any surprise charges tacked on afterward.
Why does Machias weather make regular sweeps worth it?
Western Washington's wet, mild winters mean chimneys deal with a lot of moisture. Damp air and frequent rain can accelerate creosote buildup, encourage rust on metal components, and speed up wear on chimney crowns and caps. Regular inspections catch these issues before they turn into water leaks, blockages, or fire hazards, which matters even more in a climate that rarely gives masonry and metal a chance to fully dry out between storms.

What does the inspection actually check?
We sweep the flue and inspect the liner, firebox, damper, cap, and crown so you know the condition of your entire chimney system, not just whether it is clean.
How often should a chimney be swept?
Most homeowners who use their fireplace regularly should have it swept and inspected once a year to stay ahead of creosote buildup and catch small issues early.
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
