Can wildlife move into a chimney in Bonney?
They can, and they do. Bonney is about 32 miles from downtown Houston, on the quieter, more open side of the metro area. Homes here sit near fields, trees and open ground, and wildlife like birds, squirrels and raccoons are always looking for a warm, sheltered place to nest.
A chimney without a solid cap is an open invitation. A nest in the flue blocks the exit for smoke and gas, and dry nesting material can catch fire. Animals that get in can also be hard to remove without damaging the flue.
A cap with intact screening is the best protection, and checking it is part of every visit we make.
Even small birds can cause trouble. Chimney swifts and other species build nests that block airflow, and the debris they leave behind can linger long after the birds have gone. A clean flue and a good cap put an end to the problem.
What is included in the $99 chimney sweep and inspection?
The price starts at $99, and the visit covers the whole chimney:
- Sweeping of the flue and cleaning of the firebox
- A check of the damper for movement and a good seal
- A check of the flue and firebox for damage and heavy buildup
- A check of the cap and crown where wildlife and weather get in
If we find something that needs more than a cleaning, we explain it plainly and price it before any extra work begins.
Fixing a damaged cap is often one of the simplest and most useful repairs, which is why we pay close attention to that part.
You will not be asked to approve anything you do not understand. We describe what we see in simple terms, and you decide what makes sense for your home and budget.
Do country homes have different chimney needs?
In some ways. Homes away from dense neighborhoods often use wood for heat, and some use stoves or inserts on cold nights. Wood is a fine fuel, but it leaves creosote, and a stove burning low overnight leaves more of it than a quick evening fire.
Wide open surroundings also bring more wind and rain straight at the chimney top. Caps loosen, crowns crack and mortar erodes over the years. None of this is unusual, but it is the reason a yearly look beats waiting for trouble.
Older farmhouse-style homes may have chimneys that have not been cleaned in a long time. There is no shame in that. A sweep and inspection is a good way to learn what you have and what to do about it.
Moisture plays a part as well. Gulf humidity and summer storms reach this far inland, and a chimney that looks dry from the ground can still have damp masonry behind it.
How do I book a chimney sweep in Bonney?
Go online, choose a day and pick a 3-hour arrival window. Our office calls or texts to confirm, and the technician calls about 30 minutes before arriving.
A call ahead is especially useful on larger properties where it helps to know when someone is arriving. Book early in the fall and your chimney will be ready for the first cold snap.
Since many homes in the area are spread out, a window plus a call ahead makes the day easy to plan.

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
