How much does a chimney sweep cost in Woodway?
A standard chimney sweep and inspection starts at $99. That covers a full cleaning along with a check of the flue, firebox, damper, cap, and crown so you know exactly what condition your chimney is in before cold weather sets in. If our technician finds anything that needs extra attention, such as a cracked crown or a damaged liner, we explain the issue and give you a clear price before any additional work begins. No surprises, no pressure.
What does a chimney sweep and inspection actually include?
- Removal of soot and creosote buildup from the flue
- Inspection of the firebox for cracks or wear
- Check of the damper to confirm it opens and seals properly
- Look at the chimney cap for rust, gaps, or animal entry points
- Visual check of the crown for cracking or water damage
We book an arrival window rather than an exact time, and the office confirms by call or text before the day of your visit. Your technician also calls about 30 minutes ahead so you are not stuck waiting around all day.
Why does a Woodway chimney need regular sweeping?
Woodway sits in a wet, mild part of the Seattle area, and that climate is tough on chimneys. Constant rain and moisture work into brick, mortar, and metal caps over time, while burning season creosote buildup raises the risk of chimney fires if it is left unchecked. Homes with wood burning fireplaces, inserts, or gas appliances all benefit from a yearly sweep and inspection to catch small problems, like a loose cap or a hairline crack in the crown, before they turn into expensive repairs.

Frequently asked questions
How often should I get my chimney swept?
Most homeowners with a wood burning fireplace or insert should schedule a sweep once a year, ideally before the heating season starts. Gas appliances typically need less frequent cleaning but still benefit from an annual inspection.

Yes. Our $99 sweep and inspection covers both wood burning and gas chimney systems, including a check of the flue, firebox, damper, cap, and crown.
What happens if you find a problem during the inspection?
We will explain what we found in plain language and give you a clear price for any repair work before we start. You decide whether to move forward, there is no obligation.
How does the arrival window and booking process work?
You choose your preferred day online and pick a 3-hour arrival window. Our office confirms the appointment by call or text, and the technician calls about 30 minutes before showing up.
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

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
