How does salty, humid air age a Kemah chimney?
On the bay, the air carries both moisture and salt, and the two together are tough on a chimney. Metal caps and dampers rust sooner. Mortar softens and flakes. The crown on top, exposed to sun, rain and sea air, slowly develops cracks that open the door for water.
Nothing about this is sudden, which is why it is easy to ignore. But small rust spots and hairline cracks are the ones worth catching, because they are cheap to address early and expensive to ignore for several seasons.
If your cap looks stained, your damper is stiff or the firebox shows orange flakes, rust is already at work. A visit finds how far it has gone and what, if anything, needs replacing.
Is my fireplace ready for a cozy winter evening?
Coastal winters are mild, so a fireplace here is often a treat rather than a necessity. A cold front arrives, the family gathers and someone wants a fire. That is the worst moment to discover the damper is stuck or a bird has built a nest in the flue.
Getting the chimney checked before the season starts means the fire goes smoothly. It also means you are choosing a day that suits you instead of calling in a hurry when the temperature drops.
Whether you burn real logs or use gas, the preparation is the same: clear the flue, check the moving parts, inspect the top.
A gathering is the wrong time to find that the chimney has problems. A quick visit a few weeks ahead takes the worry out of it.
What is included in the $99 chimney sweep and inspection?
The Chimney Xpert offers chimney sweep and inspection from $99. We sweep the chimney and check the flue, firebox, damper, cap and crown as one complete pass.
If we find something beyond a simple cleaning, such as a rusted cap or a cracked crown, we explain it plainly and give you the price before any extra work starts. You are under no obligation, and you decide what happens next.
Our aim is that you finish the visit knowing exactly where your chimney stands, whether that is perfectly fine or in need of a modest repair.

Frequently asked questions
How much is a chimney sweep in Kemah?
Chimney sweep and inspection from The Chimney Xpert starts at $99. Additional work is explained and priced before it begins.
Does salt air affect chimney parts?
It can speed up rust on caps and dampers and wear at mortar and crowns, so those parts are checked each visit.
Do I need a sweep if I only light a fire a few times a year?
Yes. An idle flue can collect nests, debris and rust, so a check before the first fire is worthwhile.
How does booking work?
Pick a day and a 3-hour arrival window online. The office calls or texts to confirm, and 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

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
