Why does a Mill Creek chimney need yearly attention?
Mill Creek sits about 19 miles from downtown Seattle, and like the rest of the Seattle area it gets a long wet season each year. That steady rain and humidity work their way into masonry and metal chimney parts, softening mortar joints, rusting caps, and letting moisture reach the flue liner. Add in the creosote that builds up from normal wood burning, and you have two separate reasons a chimney needs a professional look every year, even in a mild coastal climate. A yearly sweep and inspection catches small problems, like a cracked crown or a loose cap, before they turn into water damage or a chimney fire risk.
What is included in the $99 chimney sweep visit?
- A full sweep to clear soot and creosote from the flue
- A check of the firebox for cracks or damaged brick
- A check of the damper to confirm it opens, closes, and seals properly
- A look at the chimney cap and crown for gaps, rust, or cracking that could let water in
- A plain explanation of anything we find, with pricing given before any extra work starts
You will never be surprised by add on charges. If we spot an issue, we explain what it is, why it matters, and what it costs, and you decide if and when to move forward.
How does booking a chimney sweep in Mill Creek work?
Booking is handled online. You pick a day that works for your schedule and choose a 3 hour arrival window. Our office follows up by phone or text to confirm the appointment, and on the day of your visit the technician calls about 30 minutes ahead so you know exactly when to expect them. There is no guessing and no waiting around all day.

Frequently asked questions
Does the $99 price really cover the full inspection?
Yes. The $99 covers the sweep along with a check of the flue, firebox, damper, cap, and crown. If we find something that needs repair, we explain it and give you a price before doing any additional work.
How long does a typical chimney sweep appointment take?
Most sweep and inspection visits are completed within the scheduled 3 hour arrival window. The technician calls about 30 minutes before arriving so you can plan around it.
Do you service chase covers as well as the flue?
Yes, chase work is part of what we handle. We have already completed chase service for a Mill Creek home, in addition to chimney sweeps.
How often should a Mill Creek homeowner get a chimney swept?
Once a year is standard, especially given the Seattle area's wet weather, which can affect masonry and metal parts even between burning seasons. Regular sweeps also keep creosote levels in check for safer use.
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
