Why do older Devine homes deserve an extra careful chimney check?
Small Texas towns tend to have a mix of homes, from long-established houses with original masonry chimneys to newer builds with prefabricated fireplaces. Older brick chimneys have had decades of heat, rain and ground movement to work on them. Mortar joints soften, flue liners crack and dampers rust.
That does not mean a problem is waiting, only that age is a good reason to have a professional look at the whole system. Newer fireplaces are not exempt either. They simply fail in different ways, such as worn metal parts and loose caps.
Homeowners who have bought a house recently are often in the same boat, because nobody knows when the last sweep happened. Starting with a clean slate and a proper inspection gives you a baseline to work from in the years ahead.
What do I get for the $99 chimney sweep and inspection?
For $99 and up, you get a cleaning and a check of every main part of the chimney:
- Flue: cleared of soot and creosote.
- Firebox: examined for damaged brick or mortar.
- Damper: opened, closed and checked for a proper seal.
- Cap and crown: inspected for cracks, rust or gaps.
If anything needs repair, we tell you what it is and what it costs before we touch it. You stay in control of the decision.
The visit is meant to be useful even when nothing is wrong. You leave knowing the condition of each part and what, if anything, to keep an eye on next year.
How do storms and summer heat wear on a chimney?
Texas weather is rough on anything exposed. Hot months bake the masonry. Then come thunderstorms with driving rain and wind, pushing water into any small gap around the crown or cap. Even a minor crack can let in enough moisture to stain walls or rust a damper over time.
Because the burning season here is short, a chimney can go a long time between uses and between looks. That gap is where hidden damage builds. A sweep before cold weather arrives means you find out about it on a calm day instead of during the first chilly week.
Wood-burning fireplaces add creosote to the list of concerns, while gas logs add the question of whether the flue is truly clear. Both fuel types are common here, and both benefit from an annual check before the cold arrives.
How do I book a chimney sweep in Devine?
Go online, choose a day and a 3-hour arrival window that works for you, and submit. The office will call or text to confirm the booking. On the day, the technician calls roughly 30 minutes before arriving.
The chimney sweep and inspection is priced from $99, which keeps the decision simple. If you have a wood fireplace you love, gas logs you use on cold nights, or an old stove you inherited with the house, this is how to be sure it is ready.
If you are not sure whether your chimney needs a sweep or a full repair, book the sweep and inspection first. It is the quickest way to find out.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a chimney sweep cost in Devine, TX?
Our chimney sweep and inspection starts at $99, with any additional work quoted before it begins.
Do newer homes need chimney sweeps too?
Yes. Newer fireplaces and flues still collect residue and can have worn caps, dampers or liners, so a yearly check is a good habit.
What is checked during the visit?
The flue, firebox, damper, cap and crown are all covered.
How soon before arrival will I hear from the technician?
The technician calls about 30 minutes ahead, after the office has confirmed your day and 3-hour window.
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
