What does a chimney sweep and inspection cover?
- Sweeping to clear soot and creosote buildup from the flue
- Inspection of the firebox for cracks, damage, or wear
- Check of the damper to confirm it opens, closes, and seals properly
- Look at the chimney cap for rust, gaps, or animal entry points
- Check of the crown for cracks that let in water
If we find an issue that needs more than a standard sweep, we explain what it is and what it costs before any extra work begins. You decide what happens next, with no surprise charges.
Why does Vaughn's climate matter for your chimney?
Western Washington's wet winters and heavy rain put extra stress on chimneys. Moisture works its way into small cracks in the crown or mortar and can lead to bigger problems over time, especially through repeated freeze and thaw cycles. Homes that rely on wood stoves or fireplaces for supplemental heat also tend to build up creosote faster during the long, damp heating season. Regular sweeping and a close check of the cap and crown help catch water intrusion and buildup before they turn into costly repairs.

Frequently asked questions
How often should I have my chimney swept?
Most homes that use a fireplace or wood stove regularly benefit from a sweep and inspection once a year, ideally before the heating season starts.
What are signs my chimney needs attention?
Smoke backing up into the room, a strong odor from the fireplace, visible soot buildup, or a slow-closing damper are all signs it is time for a sweep and inspection.
Do you inspect gas fireplace chimneys too?
Yes, the $99 sweep and inspection covers wood-burning and gas fireplace chimneys, including a check of the flue, firebox, damper, cap, and crown.
What happens if you find a repair is needed?
We explain the issue in plain terms and give you a price before any repair work starts, so you always know what to expect.
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
