Why does my Kenefick fireplace smoke into the room?
Smoke coming back into the living room is one of the most common complaints we hear, and it has a handful of usual causes. Kenefick is about 40 miles from downtown Houston, in a rural area where many homes rely on a fireplace or stove for warmth, so a fire that will not draw properly is more than an annoyance.
- A flue narrowed by soot and creosote
- A damper that is not opening fully
- A blocked cap, or a nest in the flue
- Cold air sitting in the flue that has to be warmed before smoke will rise
The first three are things a sweep and inspection finds and fixes or flags. The last one is handled by opening the damper and warming the flue before lighting the fire. Either way, a clean, open flue is where good draft starts.
What is included in the $99 chimney sweep?
The visit starts at $99. We sweep the chimney and check the flue, firebox, damper, cap and crown.
That covers the exact places where draft problems and smoke smells come from. If something beyond a sweep is needed, we explain it and give you the price before extra work starts. You will know what we found, what it means and what it costs, and you decide from there.
Good draft is also a safety matter, not only a comfort one. A fireplace that pulls smoke up and out is also moving combustion gases away from the people in the room. When the draft fails, those gases can spill into the house. That is why a smoky fireplace should never just be tolerated, and why a clean, open flue is worth checking first.
How does country heating change chimney care?
On rural properties a fireplace or stove often does real heating work, not just decoration. It runs on cold nights in a row, it burns more wood and it is used for longer, and all of that means more soot, more creosote and more wear on the firebox. Homes that burn wood cut or stacked on the property should pay attention to how dry that wood is, because damp wood burns cool and lays down creosote quickly.
A yearly sweep before the heating season is the routine that keeps it all safe. It also pays to sweep again midseason if you burn every day, or if you notice the draft getting sluggish. Gas log and decorative fireplaces are simpler, but still gather moisture and debris and still need a yearly look.
How do I book a chimney sweep in Kenefick?
Pick a day online and choose a 3-hour arrival window. The office calls or texts to confirm, and the technician calls about 30 minutes before arriving. On a rural property, that call gives you time to meet the technician at the door or open the gate.
The best time to book is before the first cool snap, when days are open and the chimney can be made ready without a rush. The price starts at $99.

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.
