Is a wood stove or insert chimney different from a regular fireplace?
It can be, and it often needs more attention. Damon is about 40 miles from downtown Houston, in farm and ranch country where wood stoves and fireplace inserts are common ways to heat a home or a shop. Stoves and inserts burn hotter and longer than an open fireplace, and they usually vent through a narrower flue. A narrower flue fills up faster, so soot and creosote can restrict it in a single busy season.
That is why a stove chimney is worth sweeping every year, and why stove owners who burn daily sometimes sweep midseason. The connection pipe and the damper, where fitted, deserve a look as well, since they see the hottest smoke. If you rely on a stove for heat, a clear flue is a safety matter, not a comfort extra.
What does the $99 sweep and inspection cover?
The visit starts at $99. We sweep the chimney and check the flue, firebox, damper, cap and crown. Stove, insert, open fireplace or gas logs, the same five parts tell the story of whether it is safe to burn.
If a problem turns up that is bigger than a sweep, we explain it plainly and price the extra work before anything starts. Nothing is added to the job without your say-so. Many stove chimneys need nothing more than a good cleaning, and we will tell you if that is all there is.
Stove owners also get useful answers about the parts around the flue. Because stoves run hot for long stretches, the areas around the firebox and the connection to the chimney see the most stress, and any wear there is worth knowing about early. A sweep once a year, done before the first cold week, keeps a heating stove working the way you need it to.
Why do birds and animals matter on a country property?
Open country means open skies and plenty of wildlife, and a chimney is a tempting shelter. Birds build nests, squirrels and raccoons climb in, and all of them can block a flue completely. A blocked flue can push smoke and carbon monoxide back into the house, which is the reason a cap with an intact screen matters so much.
The best time to check is before you light the first fire, since a nest can sit unnoticed in a flue for months. The sweep clears what is there, and the cap check tells you whether animals can get back in. It is one of the cheapest ways to head off a serious problem on a rural property.

Frequently asked questions
How much is a chimney sweep in Damon, TX?
A chimney sweep and inspection starts at $99. Extra work is explained and priced before it starts.
Do wood stoves need sweeping more often?
Often, yes. Stoves burn hot and usually use a narrower flue that fills with soot and creosote faster, so a yearly sweep, and sometimes a midseason one, is wise.
Can a bird nest block my chimney?
Yes. A nest can block the flue and push smoke back into the home. The sweep clears it and the cap is checked to help keep animals out.
How do I book?
Book online, pick a day and a 3-hour arrival window. The office calls or texts to confirm, 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.
