Need a chimney sweep in Southworth?
If you own a home in Southworth, you already know what living this close to Puget Sound does to a chimney. Damp winters, salt-tinged air, and heavy wood stove use during the cold months all add up to creosote buildup and moisture problems that are easy to miss until they become expensive. The Chimney Xpert offers a chimney sweep and inspection from $99, with straightforward online booking that fits around your schedule.
What does the $99 visit actually include?
- A full sweep to clear creosote and debris from the flue
- A check of the firebox for cracks, damage, or soot buildup
- Testing of the damper to confirm it opens, closes, and seals properly
- A look at the chimney cap to make sure it is keeping out rain and animals
- An inspection of the crown for cracks that let water into the masonry
If we find anything beyond the standard sweep, we explain it clearly and give you a price before any additional work begins. No surprises on the invoice.
Why does a Southworth chimney need extra attention?
Southworth sits right on the water, and that marine environment is tough on chimneys. Salt air speeds up corrosion on metal caps and dampers, while the region's long rainy season pushes moisture into any crack in the crown or mortar joints. Add in wood stoves and fireplaces that get heavy use through a typical Pacific Northwest winter, and creosote can build up faster than homeowners expect. Routine sweeps and inspections catch these issues early, before they turn into a chimney fire risk or a costly masonry repair.
Homes near the ferry terminal and along the shoreline tend to see faster wear on exterior chimney components simply because of constant exposure to wind-driven rain and salt spray. A yearly check is the easiest way to stay ahead of it.
How does booking work?
Booking with The Chimney Xpert is simple. Choose a day online and pick a 3-hour arrival window that works for you. Our office will call or text to confirm the appointment, and on the day of service the technician calls about 30 minutes before arrival so you are not stuck waiting around all day. It is a straightforward process built around your schedule, not ours.

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
