How much does a chimney sweep cost in University Place?
Chimney sweep and inspection service in University Place starts at $99. That price covers a full sweep along with a check of the flue, firebox, damper, cap and crown. If we find anything beyond a standard cleaning, like a cracked crown or a loose cap, we explain what we see and give you a clear price before any extra work begins. You will not find surprise charges added to your bill after the fact, and you decide whether to move forward with any repair work.
What does a chimney sweep and inspection actually cover?
Every visit starts with a sweep to clear soot and creosote buildup out of the flue. From there we check the firebox for cracks, test the damper for smooth operation, and look over the cap and crown for damage or wear. University Place sees plenty of rain from fall through spring, and that steady moisture is hard on masonry crowns and metal caps over time. Small cracks or gaps that seem minor can let water into the chimney system and lead to bigger problems with the flue liner down the road. If we spot something during the inspection, we walk you through what it means and what it costs before we touch anything.
How does booking a chimney sweep work?
Booking is done online. Pick a day that works for your schedule and a 3-hour arrival window, no need to clear your whole day. Our office calls or texts to confirm the appointment ahead of time, and the technician calls about 30 minutes before arrival so you know exactly when to expect us. It is a straightforward process built around your time, not ours.

Why does a wet climate like University Place make chimney sweeps more important?
Frequent rain and damp conditions can speed up creosote buildup and wear down chimney crowns and caps faster than in drier climates. Regular sweeps and inspections catch small issues before they turn into water damage or flue liner problems.
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
