Can a Texas hailstorm damage my chimney in Kosse?
Yes, and the chimney is often one of the first places to take it. Hail and high winds can chip or crack a crown, dent a metal cap, knock loose a rain cover or shift a chase cover on a factory-built fireplace. The damage is often on the very top of the chimney, where you cannot see it from the yard, and it rarely announces itself. The first clue may be a water stain on the ceiling or wall weeks later, after a heavy rain finds the opening.
After a bad storm season, it makes sense to have the top of the chimney checked. Catching a cracked crown or bent cap now is a smaller repair than dealing with wet brick, rusted dampers and stained walls next spring.
What does a storm-season check include?
The Chimney Xpert serves Kosse as part of our Central Texas coverage. Our chimney sweep and inspection starts at $99 and covers the sweep plus a check of the flue, firebox, damper, cap and crown. After a storm, the cap and crown get extra attention.
- Cap: bent, loose, rusted or missing?
- Crown: hairline cracks or chipped edges?
- Flue: clear of debris blown in by wind?
- Damper and firebox: any signs of water getting in?
If something needs more than a cleaning, we explain it and price it before any extra work starts. You choose what to do.
Does the fireplace need attention even if we do not use it much?
Yes. Rain does not care whether you burned a fire last month. A cracked crown or damaged cap lets water in year-round, and damp conditions inside a chimney cause rust, stains and crumbling mortar. A fireplace that looks perfect inside can have real problems higher up on the chimney.
For wood burners, the sweep handles soot and creosote. For gas log owners, the check handles the weather side of things, which is where most gas chimney trouble starts.
If a storm has just passed and you are worried, do not climb up to look. A quick look from the ground is enough to spot a missing cap or an obvious tilt, and the rest is best left to an inspection. Book online, mention the storm, and we will check the cap, crown and flue with the other parts of the visit. That way a small storm problem gets caught before the next one makes it bigger.
How do I book a chimney sweep in Kosse?
Book online and pick a day plus a 3-hour arrival window. The office calls or texts to confirm, and the technician calls about 30 minutes before arriving. Kosse is about 35 miles from downtown, so a clear window matters, and we plan for it.
Many homeowners book right after storm season and before cool weather arrives, which keeps the fall schedule easy.
It also helps to write down what you noticed. A smell after rain, a rattle in a wind, a new stain or a fireplace that smokes are all useful clues. Share them when you book and they will shape what we look at first.

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
