Need a chimney sweep in Summit View?
The Chimney Xpert serves Summit View as part of our regular Seattle-area coverage, about 33 miles from downtown Seattle. If you own a home with a wood-burning fireplace, gas insert, or pellet stove, a yearly sweep and inspection keeps your chimney safe and working the way it should. Our $99 chimney sweep and inspection is a straightforward way to get a clear picture of your chimney's condition before the rainy season sets in.
What does the $99 chimney sweep and inspection include?
- A full sweep to clear soot and creosote buildup from the flue
- A check of the firebox for cracks, spalling, or loose mortar
- A test of the damper to make sure it opens and seals properly
- An inspection of the chimney cap for rust, gaps, or animal entry points
- A look at the crown for cracking or water damage
If we find anything that needs more work, we explain it clearly and give you a price before any extra work begins. No surprise charges, no pressure.
Why does Pacific Northwest weather matter for your chimney?
Summit View gets the same wet, mild winters as the rest of the Puget Sound region. That steady moisture is tough on masonry. Rain and condensation can seep into small cracks in the crown or mortar joints, freeze during cold snaps, and slowly widen those cracks over time. Moss and algae growth on the exterior can trap even more moisture against the brick. Add in creosote buildup from regular fireplace use, and you have a combination that calls for a yearly inspection, not a once-every-few-years checkup. Catching small issues early is almost always cheaper than fixing them after they turn into bigger repairs.
How does booking work?
Booking is simple. You pick a day online and choose a 3 hour arrival window that fits your schedule. Our office calls or texts to confirm the appointment, and 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.

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
