What should Hollywood Park owners of older homes know about their chimney?
Older homes bring older chimneys, and older chimneys have had decades to collect soot, weather and settle. Mortar joints wear down, brick faces flake and crowns crack after years of summer heat and sudden storms. None of that is unusual, but it is the kind of wear that gets worse quietly, so a regular look is wise.
Many older fireplaces were also built before modern standards for flues and dampers. That does not make them unsafe, but it does mean a careful check of the firebox and flue is worth doing before you light the first fire of the season.
What is included in the $99 visit?
A chimney sweep and inspection starts at $99. It covers:
- Sweeping soot and creosote out of the flue
- Checking the firebox for cracks, gaps and worn brick
- Testing the damper so it opens, closes and seals properly
- Looking over the cap and crown for damage
When a repair is needed, we explain what we found, what it would take, and what it costs before any extra work starts. You always get to choose.
The sweep itself removes the fuel for chimney fires: creosote and soot. The inspection side tells you whether the structure around it is holding up. Together they answer the two questions every owner of a mature chimney should be able to answer each fall. Is it clean, and is it sound? If the answer to either is no, we will say so plainly, describe the next step and leave the decision to you. Many visits end with nothing more than a clean flue and peace of mind, which is exactly how it should go.
Why do dampers rust and stick in Texas heat?
The damper is the small metal door that seals the flue when the fireplace is off. In a humid climate with hot summers, it is one of the first parts to show its age. Moisture and condensation cause rust, and rust makes the damper stick half-open, which wastes air conditioning all summer or refuses to open when you need the fire.
A damper that does not close also lets rain, debris and animals into the firebox. Checking and freeing it up during a regular visit is cheaper than waiting until it will not move at all.
Even a fireplace you rarely use needs this. A chimney that sits quiet still ages.

Frequently asked questions
What does a chimney sweep cost in Hollywood Park, TX?
A chimney sweep and inspection starts at $99. Any additional work is explained and priced first.
Is an older chimney safe to use?
Often yes, but age brings wear in the mortar, brick, damper and crown. A yearly sweep and inspection tells you where yours stands.
How often should I sweep?
Plan on a sweep and inspection every year before the burning season, especially if you use the fireplace regularly.
How does scheduling work?
Book online, pick a day and a 3-hour arrival window, and the office confirms by call or text. 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

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
