What should Granger homeowners know about chimney safety?
The basics are simple. Soot and creosote build up in the flue and can ignite. Cracks and gaps let water and heat go where they should not. A missing cap lets in animals and rain. All of these can happen quietly, with no warning at the living-room end of the chimney.
The Chimney Xpert serves Granger as part of its Austin-area coverage. A chimney sweep and inspection starts at $99, and it is the simplest way to know where your chimney stands.
Whether you burn wood every weekend or light a fire on the coldest night of the year, the routine is the same: sweep once a year and look the whole chimney over.
A yearly routine is also a good habit for renters and landlords. Whoever lights the fire depends on the chimney being sound.
What does the visit cover from firebox to cap?
We start with a cleaning of the chimney and then look over each part in turn: the flue, the firebox, the damper, the cap and the crown.
The firebox is checked for cracks and wear. The damper is tested to see that it opens fully and seals when closed. The cap is checked to be sure it is whole and secure. The crown is checked for cracks that let water in.
If we find a problem, we give you a plain explanation and a price before we do any extra work. The $99 sweep and inspection is the starting point, and you decide whether to go further.
Do gas logs, inserts and open fireplaces all need the same attention?
They all need a yearly check, though each has its own quirks. Open wood fireplaces produce the most ash and creosote. Inserts and stoves rely on connector pipes and seals that can wear. Gas logs burn clean but depend on a flue that is free of debris so gases can leave safely.
If you are not sure which kind of fireplace you have, or how often it should be serviced, a first visit answers those questions. It is common for homeowners in older houses to find that a fireplace has been modified over the years, and a quick look tells you what you actually have.
Good habits between visits help: burn dry wood, keep the firebox free of excess ash and never use the fireplace as a trash burner. They make the next sweep easier and the fireplace safer.

Frequently asked questions
What is the price of a chimney sweep in Granger, TX?
Our chimney sweep and inspection starts at $99. Extra work is explained and priced before it begins.
How often should I have my chimney swept?
Once a year for any chimney that gets used. The best time is before the cold season.
Do inserts and stoves need a sweep too?
Yes. The flue above them still collects soot, and the connector and seals should be checked.

After you book online, the office calls or texts to confirm, and your 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

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
