What moves into an uncovered chimney in Florence?
Florence is a small Central Texas town with plenty of open land, big trees and wildlife close to home. That is great for living, but it means a chimney without a good cap is an open invitation. Birds, squirrels and even raccoons look at a flue as a dry, sheltered place to nest, and their debris can block the flue completely.
A blocked flue is dangerous. Smoke and combustion gases have nowhere to go but back into the house. A cap with a proper screen stops the problem, and a yearly check tells you whether yours is still doing the job.
Homes out on larger lots tend to have more trees nearby, which also means more leaves and twigs falling onto and into an uncovered flue. Even a chimney that looks clean from the yard can be partly choked near the top.
Wood fire, gas logs or both: what does each need?
Fireplaces around here are a mix. Some families burn wood all winter, others keep gas logs for an easy evening fire, and some do a bit of both. The care they need is different.
- Wood: creosote builds inside the flue and needs to be swept out regularly.
- Gas logs: soot, rust and debris can gather, and the damper must be set to vent properly.
- Both: check the flue more often, since wood residue can linger under a gas setup.
Whatever you burn, the chimney is part of the heating equipment and deserves a yearly look.
If your fireplace has been quiet for a while, have the flue swept before the first fire of the season. A clean, open chimney lights easier and keeps smoke where it belongs.
What do I get for $99?
A chimney sweep and inspection from The Chimney Xpert starts at $99. We sweep the flue and check the firebox, damper, cap and crown, so every part that matters gets looked at in one visit.
If we find a cracked crown, a missing cap or a damper that will not close, we explain the problem in plain words and price the repair before we start it. There is no added work without your yes. Many homeowners find that a modest, scheduled sweep is easier on the budget than an emergency repair in the middle of winter.

Frequently asked questions
What is the price of a chimney sweep in Florence?
Chimney sweep and inspection starts at $99 with The Chimney Xpert. Additional work is explained and priced before it starts.
Why is a chimney cap important?
A cap keeps rain out and stops birds and animals from nesting in the flue. We check it during every visit.
Can a bird nest block a chimney?
Yes. Nesting material can block the flue and push smoke and gases back into the home. Have it cleared and the cap checked before lighting a fire.
How do I book?
Pick a day and a 3-hour arrival window online. The office calls or texts to confirm, and the technician calls about 30 minutes ahead.
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

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
