Need a chimney sweep in Sumner, WA?
The Chimney Xpert serves Sumner as part of our Seattle area coverage, about 27 miles from downtown Seattle. If your fireplace or wood stove has not been checked in a while, or you smell soot when the damper opens, a professional sweep and inspection is the safest place to start. We offer a chimney sweep and inspection from $99, with clear pricing before any work begins.
What does the $99 chimney inspection include?
- A full sweep to clear creosote and debris from the flue
- Inspection of the firebox and damper for cracks, rust, or wear
- A check of the chimney cap and crown for gaps or damage
- A look at the flue liner for soot buildup or deterioration
If we find something that needs more attention, like a damaged crown or a liner issue, we explain it plainly and give you a price before any extra work starts. No surprise charges.
Why does Sumner's wet climate matter for your chimney?
Sumner sits in a part of the Seattle area that sees heavy fall and winter rain, and that moisture is hard on chimneys. Water can seep into a cracked crown or worn mortar joints, freeze during cold snaps, and widen those cracks over time. A cap that fits poorly lets rain straight down the flue, which speeds up rust on dampers and liners. Routine sweeps and inspections catch these issues early, before a small crack turns into a costly repair or a safety hazard when you light your first fire of the season.

Booking is simple. Pick a day and a 3-hour arrival window online, and our office will call or text to confirm the appointment. On the day of your visit, the technician calls about 30 minutes ahead so you know exactly when to expect us. It is a straightforward process built to fit into a busy homeowner's schedule.

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
