Is my older Johnson City fireplace safe to light this winter?
Many homes in the Hill Country, especially older ones, have solid masonry fireplaces built to last generations. The stone and brick hold up well, but the parts that keep water out do not. Mortar joints weather, the crown on top cracks, and the cap can rust or go missing. Those small failures let rain into the chimney, and moisture is what slowly ruins flues from the inside.
Before you light the first fire of the year, it is worth having someone look at the whole system. A fireplace can look perfect from the living room and still hide a blocked flue or a worn damper.
Stone and brick chimneys also shift a little with the seasons. Over decades, small gaps open between the flue liner and the masonry around it. A regular inspection is how those gaps get noticed before they matter, and before a spark or hot gas finds somewhere it should not be.
What if the house sits empty between visits?
Some homes out here are lived in only part of the year, used for weekends or a few seasons. A chimney left closed and unwatched can collect a surprising amount. Wasps and birds move in, leaves pack the smoke chamber, and a damper that has rusted in place will not open when you need it.
If that sounds like your house, have the chimney cleaned and checked before the first fire of the season, not after smoke fills the room. It is a quick job that saves a cold, smelly evening.
Stale air matters too. A chimney that has not been used for months can push a musty, smoky smell back into the room when you finally open the damper, and a blocked flue can make a first fire dangerous instead of cozy.
What does a $99 chimney sweep and inspection cover?
Our visit starts at $99. We sweep the chimney and check the flue, the firebox, the damper, the cap and the crown. That gives you a clear picture of where the fireplace stands before you burn anything.
- The flue is cleaned of soot and creosote
- The firebox is checked for wear and damage
- The damper is tested to make sure it opens and seals
- The cap and crown are checked for the cracks and gaps that let water in
If anything needs repair, we explain it and price it before any extra work begins. No surprises, and no pressure to say yes on the spot.
Think of the $99 visit as a full physical for the chimney. You get a clean flue and, just as valuable, a clear answer about what shape everything is in.

What does a chimney sweep cost in Johnson City?

Yes. Unused chimneys can hold nests, debris and moisture damage. A sweep and inspection before the first fire shows whether it is safe to use.
Does the visit include the cap and crown?
Yes. We check the flue, firebox, damper, cap and crown as part of the $99 visit.

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
