Why do waterfront homes in Clear Lake Shores need more than a quick glance at the chimney?
Homes by the water get a lot of moisture, and moisture is the main enemy of any chimney. Air that is damp and salty speeds up rust on the cap, the damper and any metal flue parts. It also works into brick and mortar, and every time the weather cycles between soaking wet and baking hot, tiny cracks grow a little wider.
The crown, the cement cap at the very top, takes the most exposure. Once it cracks, water runs down into the masonry and the chimney begins to decay from the inside out, where nobody can see it.
A chimney does not shout when it has a problem. It whispers: a little rust, a new stain, a slightly stiffer damper. By the time it shouts, the repair is usually bigger than it had to be.
What signs suggest a chimney needs attention?
Some warning signs are easy to spot if you know them.
- A musty or smoky smell when the weather is humid
- Rust flakes or stains in the firebox
- A damper that sticks or will not fully close
- Fire that is hard to start or smoke that drifts into the room
- Crumbling mortar or white staining on brick
If you notice any of these, a sweep and inspection is the right next step. Even if you notice nothing, a yearly check is how you catch what you cannot see from the ground.
Do not wait for all five signs. One is enough reason to book, and because the visit starts at $99, acting early costs little compared with waiting.
What will the $99 visit include?
A chimney sweep and inspection from The Chimney Xpert starts at $99. We clean the chimney and check the flue, firebox, damper, cap and crown, so nothing important is skipped.
If we find something that needs repair, we explain what it is and what it costs before any extra work begins. That way the decision stays with you, made calmly and with the price known. For owners of gas logs, wood fireplaces or a mix of both, the visit works the same way, so you can book without worrying about which category you fall into.

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
