What does a hard Texas storm do to a chimney in Jourdanton?
Spring and summer storms in South Texas can be intense, with wind-driven rain and sometimes hail. A chimney is the tallest, most exposed part of a house, so it takes the worst of it. Rain can get into cracks in the crown, knock a loose cap sideways, or work into mortar joints that were already worn.
After a storm season, the damage is often invisible from the ground. A small gap at the top can let water run down the inside of the flue for months. That is why a yearly inspection is worth more than waiting for a stain on the ceiling to tell you something is wrong.
Homeowners who have weathered a storm season often wonder whether the chimney came through it. A post-storm inspection answers that without guessing, and it lets you sort out any repair before cold weather.
What is included in the $99 chimney sweep and inspection?
Our visit starts at $99 and covers the whole chimney system:
- Sweep: the flue is cleaned of soot and creosote.
- Firebox: inspected for cracked or loose brick and mortar.
- Damper: tested for smooth operation and a tight seal.
- Cap and crown: examined for cracks, rust and storm wear.
If something needs more than a cleaning, we explain what we found and price it before any further work starts. The decision is always yours.
That gives you a complete picture in one visit: what is clean, what is worn and what, if anything, to do about it before you next light a fire.
Do gas logs, wood fireplaces and stoves need different care?
They share the same basic needs but fail in different ways. Wood fires deposit creosote, which is flammable and narrows the flue over time. Gas logs burn cleaner, yet they rely on a working vent, and a blocked or damaged one is a real safety concern. Wood stoves run hot and vent through a smaller flue, so even a modest buildup can affect how well they draw.
Because winters here are short, most people use these appliances for only a few weeks. Still, long idle periods give moisture and pests time to settle in, so a check before you start is sensible for every type.
Inserts and freestanding stoves are common in rural Texas homes and deserve the same yearly look as any masonry fireplace.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a chimney sweep cost in Jourdanton, TX?

Can storms damage a chimney cap or crown?
Yes. Wind, hail and heavy rain can crack a crown or loosen a cap, which is why an annual inspection includes both.
Do gas logs need their vent checked?
Yes. A blocked or damaged vent can affect how exhaust leaves the home, so it is part of a good inspection.

Pick a day and a 3-hour window online. The office confirms by call or text, and the 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

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
