What should owners of newer Four Corners homes know about their fireplace?
Newer homes usually come with a factory-built fireplace and a metal flue instead of a full brick chimney, and owners often assume that means nothing needs attention for years. In practice, a newer chimney still sees rain, heat and humidity, and the metal cap, damper and flue sections can rust or shift. Builders also install fireplaces that are used rarely, so problems stay hidden.
The simplest habit is one visit a year. A sweep and inspection keeps the flue clear and shows you what is sound, what is wearing and what to keep an eye on.
Is gas or wood better for a rarely used fireplace?
That is a personal choice, and both are common around Houston. Gas logs are clean and easy, and they suit homeowners who want a fire without hauling wood. Wood gives the crackle and the smell that many people love, but it leaves creosote that has to be removed.
Whichever you pick, the chimney still needs care. With wood, a yearly sweep keeps creosote from building to a fire risk. With gas, the check confirms the flue is open, the damper is set properly and nothing is blocking the exhaust. The right answer to the question is simply: use what you like, and keep the flue clean.
If you have just bought a home, this is also a useful first step. A sweep and inspection tells you what condition the fireplace is really in.
What does our $99 chimney sweep cover?
Our chimney sweep and inspection starts at $99. During the visit we sweep the chimney and check each part that matters.
- The flue, for soot, creosote and blockages
- The firebox, for cracks or wear
- The damper, to confirm it opens and closes
- The cap, which keeps out rain and animals
- The crown, which protects the masonry or top of the chimney from water
If we find a problem that calls for extra work, we explain it and price it before we start. You decide whether to go ahead, with the full cost in front of you.

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
