Can a leaky damper raise my air conditioning bill?
It can, and it is one of the least-known chimney problems in Texas. A damper that does not close tightly works like a small open window in the ceiling of the room. In a long cooling season, air that you paid to chill drifts up the flue, and hot air from outside drifts down. A warped, rusted or stuck damper is easy to overlook because it only shows up as a slightly stuffy room and a bigger bill.
Checking that the damper opens fully and seals shut is part of every visit. For a home that runs air conditioning most of the year, that simple check can be worth more than the fireplace season itself.
The fix is usually simple, such as cleaning, adjusting or replacing the damper, but you only know that after someone has looked. It is one more reason a chimney visit makes sense in a home that never burns a log.
What does the $99 sweep and inspection in Bee Cave include?
A chimney sweep and inspection starts at $99 and covers:
- A chimney sweep to clear soot and creosote
- A check of the flue for blockages and damage
- A look at the firebox
- A damper check for smooth movement and a full seal
- A check of the cap and crown
If the inspection points to work beyond a sweep, we explain it and tell you the price before any extra work starts. You stay in control of what happens.
The price covers the whole list above, not a single item, and it is the same whether your fireplace burns wood or gas. If everything checks out, the visit ends with a clean chimney and a straight answer.
Do gas logs and decorative fireplaces need the same care?
Many Hill Country homes have gas fireplaces that act as a focal point of the living room and get used only on the coldest evenings. They are cleaner than wood, but they are not exempt. The flue still needs to be open and sound, the cap still needs to keep animals out and the damper or vent still needs to work. A gas fireplace that sits for months is likely to collect dust, insects and sometimes nesting material.
A yearly look keeps the fireplace ready and lets you enjoy it without wondering whether something in the flue is about to cause trouble.
How do I book a chimney sweep in Bee Cave?
The booking form is online. Pick a day, choose a three-hour arrival window and send the request. The office calls or texts to confirm your appointment, and the technician calls about 30 minutes before arriving.
Because hillside homes catch a lot of wind, a cap that has loosened is a common finding, and it is a quick thing to put right when spotted early. If you would like every chimney in the house looked at, mention how many you have when the office confirms.
Holiday weeks are when a fireplace gets the heaviest use, so booking before the rush leaves you a full choice of days and gives any repair time to be done before the guests arrive.

Frequently asked questions
How much is a chimney sweep in Bee Cave?
A chimney sweep and inspection starts at $99. Any extra work is explained and priced before it begins.
Can a bad damper affect cooling costs?
Yes. A damper that does not seal lets cooled air escape up the flue. It is checked on every visit.
Do gas fireplaces need a yearly visit?
They do. The flue, damper or vent, cap and crown can all develop problems even with light use.
What happens after I submit the booking?
The office calls or texts to confirm your day and three-hour window, and the technician calls about 30 minutes before arriving.
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
