Has The Chimney Xpert done chimney work in Steilacoom?
Yes. In the last 24 months we have completed 2 chimney jobs in Steilacoom. Our first was in January 2025, and the most recent was in September 2026. Across those visits, the work included a chimney sweep, an inspection, a flashing repair and a leak job, and the appliance we saw was a wood fireplace.
That mix tells a story familiar around Puget Sound. Wood fireplaces are common, and rain finds every weak point. Sweeps and inspections keep the fireplace safe, while flashing and leak work deal with the water that gets in where the chimney meets the house.
If your home has a wood fireplace, it has probably seen plenty of use in a long, damp season, and the flue reflects it. The earlier problems are found, the simpler they are to fix.
Why does rain make chimney care a bigger deal here?
Western Washington rain is steady and long-lasting, not just occasional. Brick and mortar stay damp for much of the year, and moss can take hold on masonry. Water that sits on a crown or behind flashing will eventually find a way inside, and a leak around a chimney can go unnoticed until a stain spreads across a ceiling.
The flashing, the metal seal where the chimney meets the house, is one of the most common places for trouble. A yearly look at the cap, crown and surroundings can catch small gaps before they let through a whole winter of rain.
Near water, damp air also works on metal parts. Caps and dampers can rust sooner than they would inland, so they get careful attention during the inspection.
What does the $99 chimney sweep and inspection cover?
The visit starts at $99 and covers each part of your chimney system:
- Flue: swept to remove soot and creosote from your wood fires.
- Firebox: checked for cracked or damp-damaged brick and mortar.
- Damper: tested for free movement and a proper seal.
- Cap and crown: inspected for cracks, rust and water entry points.
If we find something beyond routine cleaning, such as flashing that needs attention, we explain it and price it before any extra work begins. You stay in charge of what gets done.
Whether you have an old brick chimney or a newer factory-built unit, the same parts are checked and the same clear explanation follows.
How do I book a chimney sweep in Steilacoom?
Book online, pick the day that works for you and choose a 3-hour arrival window. The office calls or texts to confirm, and the technician calls about 30 minutes before arriving.
A chimney sweep and inspection starts at $99. In a damp climate where wood heat is popular through the long, wet season, scheduling a check before the first fire is a simple way to keep the fireplace safe and the water out.
Booking in early fall gives you the pick of days before the heavy rain begins and before the first fire of the year.

Flashing is the metal seal where the chimney meets the house. If it fails, rain can get in around the chimney, so it is a key part of keeping water out.

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

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
