Need a Chimney Sweep in Mountlake Terrace?
Mountlake Terrace sits about 13 miles from downtown Seattle, and the same wet Pacific Northwest winters that soak the rest of the metro area soak chimneys here too. Moisture, moss, and creosote buildup are the usual suspects behind slow-draining flues and musty fireplace smells. Over the past two years we've completed 6 chimney jobs in Mountlake Terrace, including routine sweeps, a crown rebuild, and cap work, so we know what local chimneys tend to need. If you haven't had your chimney looked at this year, now is a good time.
What Does the $99 Chimney Sweep Visit Include?
- Full sweep to clear creosote and debris from the flue
- Inspection of the flue liner, firebox, and damper
- Check of the chimney cap and crown for cracks or gaps
- Straightforward explanation of anything we find
- Any extra work is explained and priced before it starts, no surprises
How Does Booking a Chimney Sweep Work?
Booking is simple. Pick a day online and choose a 3-hour arrival window that fits your schedule. Our office will call or text to confirm the appointment, and the technician calls about 30 minutes ahead so you're not waiting around all day. It's the same process whether you need a standard sweep or something more involved.
What Kind of Chimney Work Have We Done in Mountlake Terrace?
Our work here has included a full crown rebuild paired with a 9 inch by 9 inch flue, along with cap replacement and standard sweeps. Two of our visits involved wood stove chimneys, which are common in older homes throughout the area and tend to build up creosote faster than gas or standard wood-burning fireplaces. Whether you have a wood stove, a traditional fireplace, or a chimney that just needs its yearly checkup, we've likely handled something similar close to your street.

What if the inspection finds damage to my crown or cap?

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.
Very pleased with the professionalism and promptness of service. Chad was very helpful and courteous and the work was done quickly and efficiently at significantly less cost than the first quote we received. Happy to recommend Chimney Xpert.
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
