What does the $99 chimney sweep and inspection cover in Rosedale?
Every visit starts with a full sweep and inspection for $99. That means clearing soot and creosote from the flue, then checking the firebox, damper, cap and crown for damage or wear. We look for cracks, rust, loose mortar or anything that could let water or embers where they should not be. If we find something that needs more than a standard sweep, we explain it clearly and give you a price before any extra work begins. Nothing gets added to the job without your say.
How does chimney sweep booking work for Rosedale homes?
Booking is simple and done online. You pick a day and a 3-hour arrival window that fits your schedule. Our office calls or texts to confirm the appointment, and on the day of service the technician calls about 30 minutes ahead so you know exactly when to expect us. No guessing, no sitting around all day waiting.
Why does Rosedale's wet climate make chimney care important?
Like most of the Seattle area, Rosedale sees long stretches of rain and damp, mild winters. That moisture works against masonry chimneys over time. Water that gets past a cracked crown or missing cap can soak into brick and mortar, freeze during cold snaps and slowly break the structure apart from the inside. Constant dampness also slows the drying of creosote inside the flue, which can make buildup more stubborn and harder to clear on your own. A yearly sweep and inspection catches these issues early, before a small crack turns into a bigger repair or a safety problem.
- Rain and condensation speed up wear on caps and crowns
- Damp flues hold onto creosote and soot longer
- Freeze and thaw cycles widen small cracks in masonry
- Regular inspections catch water entry points before they spread
What happens if my chimney needs repair beyond a sweep?
Sometimes an inspection turns up more than routine buildup, like a damaged cap, a cracked crown or a damper that is not sealing right. If that happens, we walk you through exactly what we found and what it will cost to fix before we touch anything. You decide what to approve. There is never pressure to do more than you are comfortable with, and you always know the price up front.

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
