Homeowners in North Fort Lewis, about 36 miles from downtown Seattle, can count on The Chimney Xpert as part of our regular Seattle area coverage. A clean, well maintained chimney keeps your home safer and your heating system running the way it should through our wet Pacific Northwest winters.

- A full sweep to clear soot and creosote buildup from the flue
- A check of the firebox for cracks or damage
- A check of the damper to make sure it opens, closes, and seals properly
- A look at the chimney cap to confirm it is keeping out rain and debris
- A check of the crown for cracks or wear that could let water in
If we find a problem that needs more work, we explain it clearly and give you a price before anything extra is done. You decide what happens next, with no pressure and no surprise charges.
How Do I Book a Chimney Sweep in North Fort Lewis?
Booking is simple. You can schedule online and pick a day along with a 3 hour arrival window that fits your schedule. Our office will call or text to confirm the appointment, and on the day of the visit the technician calls about 30 minutes ahead so you know when to expect them. There is no need to take a full day off work waiting around.
Why Does Western Washington Weather Make Chimney Care Important?
North Fort Lewis sits in one of the wettest parts of the country, and that steady rain and humidity take a toll on chimneys over time. Moisture works its way into small cracks in the crown, damaged mortar joints, or a worn cap, leading to water damage inside the chimney structure and even in the attic or walls of your home. Damp conditions also slow the drying of creosote inside the flue, which can make buildup worse between cleanings. Regular sweeps and inspections catch these issues early, before they turn into costly repairs, and help your chimney handle another wet Northwest season without trouble.

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
