How much does a chimney sweep cost in McMillin?
The Chimney Xpert offers a full chimney sweep and inspection starting at $99 for McMillin homes. That price covers a thorough cleaning along with a check of the flue, firebox, damper, cap and crown. If we find anything beyond a standard sweep, like a cracked crown or a damaged liner, we explain what it is and what it costs before any extra work begins. You will never be surprised by a bill.
What happens during a chimney sweep and inspection?
- Cleaning of the flue to remove soot and creosote buildup
- Inspection of the firebox for cracks or heat damage
- Check of the damper to confirm it opens, closes and seals properly
- Look at the chimney cap for rust, damage or animal entry points
- Review of the crown for cracks that let water in
This gives you a clear picture of your chimney's condition before the next time you light a fire.
Why do McMillin chimneys need regular sweeps?
McMillin sits in the wetter part of the Seattle area, and that damp Pacific Northwest climate is hard on chimneys. Rain and moss work into small cracks in a chimney crown and speed up deterioration. Homes that rely on wood stoves or fireplaces through the cool, wet months also build up creosote faster, which raises the risk of a chimney fire if it is not cleaned regularly. A yearly sweep and inspection catches these issues early, before they turn into costly repairs.

Frequently asked questions

You can book online and choose a day and a 3-hour arrival window that fits your schedule. Our office confirms by call or text before the visit.
Do you inspect both wood-burning and gas chimneys?
Yes, our standard sweep and inspection covers the flue, firebox, damper, cap and crown regardless of whether you burn wood or use a gas appliance.
What if the inspection finds a problem?
We explain what we found and provide pricing for any additional work before starting anything beyond the standard sweep and inspection.
How often should I have my chimney swept?
Most homes benefit from a sweep and inspection once a year, especially in a damp climate like the Seattle area where moisture and creosote buildup are common.
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

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
