Need a chimney sweep in South Hill?
If your fireplace or wood stove has been sitting unused since last spring, or your furnace flue hasn't been checked in a while, now is a good time to get it looked at. The Chimney Xpert offers a chimney sweep and inspection from $99 for homeowners in South Hill, part of our regular Seattle area coverage. Booking is simple: pick a day online, choose a 3-hour arrival window, and our office will call or text to confirm. Your technician calls about 30 minutes before arrival so you are not stuck waiting around all day.
What does the $99 chimney sweep and inspection cover?
- A full sweep to clear soot, creosote, and debris from the flue
- Inspection of the firebox for cracks or damage
- Check of the damper to confirm it opens, closes, and seals properly
- Check of the chimney cap for rust, damage, or blockage
- Check of the chimney crown for cracks that let water in
If we find something that needs more work, we explain it clearly and give you a price before anything extra is done. No surprise charges, no pressure.
Why does South Hill's climate make this important?
South Hill sits inland from Puget Sound but still gets the same wet, mild Pacific Northwest winters as the rest of the Seattle area. Long stretches of rain and damp air are hard on masonry and metal chimney parts. Moisture works into small cracks in a crown or cap and can freeze and expand during cold snaps, making minor damage worse. Homes that burn wood regularly through the wet months also build up creosote faster, which raises the risk of a chimney fire if it is not cleared out. An annual sweep and inspection is the easiest way to catch these issues early, before they turn into a bigger repair or a safety hazard.
How do I schedule a visit?
Booking online takes just a couple of minutes. Choose a day that works for you and a 3-hour arrival window, and our office will reach out to confirm the appointment. On the day of service, your technician calls about 30 minutes ahead so you can plan around it. It is a straightforward process built around your schedule, not ours.

Do I need my chimney swept every year?
Most homeowners in wet climates like the Seattle area benefit from an annual sweep and inspection, especially if they burn wood regularly, since moisture and creosote buildup can accelerate wear.
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
