Need a chimney sweep in Three Lakes?
The Chimney Xpert serves Three Lakes as part of our regular Seattle area coverage, about 29 miles from downtown. A chimney sweep and inspection starts at $99, and our online booking lets you pick a day and a 3-hour arrival window that works for your schedule. The office confirms by call or text, and your technician calls about 30 minutes before arrival so you are not stuck waiting around.
What does a chimney sweep and inspection cover?
- A full sweep to clear soot and creosote buildup from the flue
- A check of the firebox for cracks, spalling, or loose mortar
- A look at the damper to confirm it opens, closes, and seals properly
- An exterior check of the cap and crown for damage, gaps, or wear
If we find anything beyond the standard sweep, we explain it clearly and give you a price before any extra work begins. No surprises on the invoice.
Why does Three Lakes weather matter for your chimney?
Western Washington's wet winters and mossy, mild summers are hard on chimneys. Constant rain and humidity soften mortar joints, feed moss and algae growth on the crown, and let moisture work into small cracks that eventually let water reach your firebox. Homes that burn wood regularly through the damp season also build up creosote faster, which raises the risk of chimney fires if it is not cleared out. A yearly sweep and inspection catches these problems early, before a small crack or a clogged flue turns into a bigger repair.

Chimney sweep and inspection service starts at $99. If we find additional issues during the inspection, we explain them and provide pricing before doing any extra work.

We sweep the flue and check the firebox, damper, cap, and crown for damage or wear so you know the condition of your whole chimney system, not just the parts you can see.
How does the arrival window work?
You pick a day and a 3-hour arrival window when you book online. Our office confirms by call or text, and the technician calls about 30 minutes before showing up.
How often should I get my chimney swept?
Most homes that burn wood regularly benefit from a yearly sweep and inspection, especially in a climate as wet as western Washington where moisture and creosote buildup can cause problems if left unchecked.
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.
Very pleased with the professionalism and promptness of service. Chad was very helpful and courteous and the work was done quickly and efficiently at significantly less cost than the first quote we received. Happy to recommend Chimney Xpert.
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
