Why do chimneys near the coastal prairie smell musty in summer?
Danbury is about 37 miles from downtown Houston, on flat coastal prairie where summer air is thick and warm and rain arrives in heavy bursts. If you have ever opened a closed-up fireplace in August and caught a stale, smoky, damp smell, you know what that air does to a chimney. Soot and creosote left in the flue after winter soak up humidity, and the odor drifts back down into the room.
That smell is a useful signal. It means there is residue in the flue that has been sitting there absorbing moisture. A sweep removes the source, not just the smell, and it is best done well before the cooler months so the fireplace is fresh when you want to use it.
What does the $99 sweep and inspection include?
Our chimney sweep and inspection starts at $99. It covers a thorough sweep of the chimney and a check of the flue, the firebox, the damper, the cap and the crown, so you know the whole path is clear and sound.
- Flue: soot, creosote and debris removed
- Firebox: checked for cracks, loose brick and wear
- Damper: moves freely and closes properly
- Cap and crown: intact and keeping rain out
When we see something that needs more than a sweep, we tell you what it is and what it would cost before we start any extra work. You are never handed a bill for work you did not approve.
Are gas logs and decorative fireplaces any different?
Many homes in this part of the Houston area have gas logs instead of a wood fire, or a fireplace that is mostly there for the look on a cool evening. Those setups burn cleaner, so there is less soot, but the chimney above them still faces the same Gulf Coast weather. Rain gets in through a worn cap or a cracked crown, rust eats at the damper, and animals find the flue.
A gas fireplace also depends on a working damper and a clear flue for safe venting, so skipping the check because the fire is cleaner is a mistake. The visit is the same, at the same starting price, whether you burn wood, gas or both. A quick yearly look is cheap insurance against the slow damage humidity does.
How do I book a chimney sweep in Danbury?
Book online. Choose a day that suits you, pick a 3-hour arrival window, and send it in. The office calls or texts to confirm, and your technician calls about 30 minutes before arriving.
Fall is the natural time to book, when the first dry cool air finally shows up and thoughts turn to the fireplace. It is also a good idea after a stretch of heavy rain or a stormy season, when you want to be sure the chimney top is still doing its job. Either way, the booking takes a minute and the price starts at $99.

Frequently asked questions
How much is a chimney sweep in Danbury, TX?
A chimney sweep and inspection starts at $99. If extra work is needed, it is explained and priced before it starts.
Why does my fireplace smell bad in summer?
Soot and creosote in the flue absorb humidity and release that damp, smoky smell. Sweeping the flue removes the source of it.
Do gas fireplaces need to be checked?
Yes. The damper, flue and cap still matter for safe venting, and moisture and rust affect gas chimneys too.
How does booking work?
Book online, choose 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.
There is no way I could have been any more pleased with the entire experience. Their team are "First Class" all the way
