Looking for a chimney sweep in Martha Lake?
The Chimney Xpert serves homes throughout the greater Seattle area, and Martha Lake homeowners are part of that coverage. Whether you burn wood every weekend or just want peace of mind before winter, a clean, sound chimney matters. Our chimney sweep and inspection starts at $99, giving you a straightforward way to check that your fireplace or wood stove is safe to use.
What does the $99 chimney sweep and inspection cover?
- Full sweep to clear creosote and debris from the flue
- Inspection of the flue liner for cracks or damage
- Check of the firebox and damper for proper function
- Check of the chimney cap and crown for wear or water entry points
- Clear explanation of any findings before we recommend next steps
If we find an issue that needs more work, we explain it and price it before anything extra is done. No surprise charges after the fact.
Why does chimney upkeep matter this close to the Seattle area?
Martha Lake sits about 17 miles north of downtown Seattle, and like the rest of the region it gets a long, wet fall and winter. That steady moisture is tough on chimney caps and crowns, and it speeds up the kind of deterioration that lets water into the flue and firebox. Regular sweeps also matter for wood burning households, since creosote buildup is a leading cause of chimney fires and it collects faster than most homeowners expect over a damp Pacific Northwest winter.
How do I book a chimney sweep in Martha Lake?
Booking is done online. Pick a day that works and a 3-hour arrival window. Our office will call or text to confirm the appointment, and on the day of service the technician calls about 30 minutes ahead so you know when to expect us. It is a simple process built around your schedule, not ours.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a chimney sweep cost in Martha Lake?
Our chimney sweep and inspection starts at $99. If we find additional work is needed, we explain the scope and the price before doing anything further.
What is included in the inspection?
We sweep the flue and check the flue liner, firebox, damper, chimney cap and crown. You get a clear picture of your chimney's condition before we recommend any extra work.
How does the arrival window work?
When you book online, you choose a day and a 3-hour arrival window. Our office confirms by call or text, and the technician calls about 30 minutes before arriving.
Do I need a sweep if I only use my fireplace occasionally?
Yes. Even light use allows creosote and debris to build up, and the Pacific Northwest's wet winters can affect the cap and crown even when the fireplace sits unused. An annual check catches problems 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
