Why does the flue matter most when checking a Burlington chimney?
The flue is the passage that carries smoke and gases out of your home, and it is the part of the chimney that does the hardest work. It is also the part you cannot see. A flue with a cracked liner, a heavy coat of creosote or a blockage can let heat reach the framing around it or send smoke back into the room, and there is often no visible sign from the living area.
In masonry chimneys, the flue liner is usually clay tile, and tile can crack with age, heat and moisture. In factory-built fireplaces, the flue is metal and can rust. Either way, it needs a look inside. That is why a sweep and inspection begins with the flue: clear it, examine it and see what shape it is in.
Another reason the flue deserves attention is that problems there can build for years without any sign in the living room. A house can have a cracked flue liner and still show nothing, and the first sign may be a fire. That is the reason a chimney inspection is not just about soot. It is about finding the quiet, hidden problems before they matter, and giving you a clear picture of what condition the chimney is actually in.
What does a chimney sweep and inspection in Burlington include?
The Chimney Xpert serves Burlington as part of our Central Texas coverage. A chimney sweep and inspection starts at $99 and covers the sweep plus a check of the flue, firebox, damper, cap and crown.
- Flue cleared and checked for damage
- Firebox checked for cracked brick and mortar
- Damper checked for a full opening and a tight seal
- Cap and crown checked for cracks, rust and gaps
If something needs more than a cleaning, we explain it and price it before any extra work starts. There is no obligation to go ahead.
Does the weather in this part of Texas wear on a chimney?
It does. Hot, dry summers bake mortar and crowns, and sudden storms drive rain into every small crack. A winter freeze, even an occasional one, expands any water that has soaked in and widens the crack. The result is a slow decline that may take years to show inside the house, and by then the repair is bigger.
Regular checks catch these early. A small crack in a crown is a modest fix; a wet, crumbling chimney stack is not. The cost of the visit is small compared with the work it can save.
How do I book a chimney sweep in Burlington?
Book online, pick a day and a 3-hour arrival window, and the office calls or texts to confirm. The technician calls about 30 minutes before arriving. Burlington is about 39 miles from downtown, and we keep your window in mind when we plan the day.

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

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
