How much does a chimney sweep cost in Mukilteo?
A chimney sweep and inspection in Mukilteo starts at $99. That visit covers a full sweep along with a check of the flue, firebox, damper, cap and crown so you know the condition of the whole system, not just the parts you can see from the living room. If we find something that needs more work, like a damaged crown or a cracked flue tile, we explain it and give you a price before any of that extra work starts. No surprises on the invoice.
How do I book a chimney sweep appointment in Mukilteo?
Booking is done online. Pick a day that works for your schedule and a 3-hour arrival window. Our office follows up by phone or text to confirm the appointment, and on the day of the visit the technician calls about 30 minutes ahead so you are not stuck waiting around the house all morning.
Why does Mukilteo's climate matter for chimney upkeep?
Mukilteo sits right on Puget Sound, and that marine location means a lot of moisture in the air most of the year. Damp air and frequent rain are hard on chimney caps and crowns, since standing water and constant wetting and drying cycles speed up cracking and erosion. Moisture that gets into the flue also mixes with creosote and soot to create a stickier, harder buildup than you would see in a drier climate. Regular sweeps and inspections catch that buildup and any water damage early, before it turns into a bigger repair or a safety issue.
- Marine air keeps humidity high around chimney caps and crowns
- Frequent rain speeds up wear on exposed masonry and metal parts
- Damp conditions can make creosote buildup more stubborn
- Annual sweeps and inspections help catch problems while they are still small

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.
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
