What does a chimney sweep and inspection actually include?
People often ask what they are paying for, and the honest answer is that it is two jobs in one. The sweep removes the soot and creosote that coat the inside of the flue. The inspection looks at the parts of the chimney system that decide whether the next fire is safe.
For a LaCoste homeowner, that means a clear answer to a simple question: is my chimney ready to use? The visit starts at $99 and covers the flue, the firebox, the damper, and the cap and crown.
- Flue: swept of soot and creosote
- Firebox: checked for cracks and worn brick
- Damper: checked for smooth use and a tight seal
- Cap and crown: checked for damage
What if you find a problem?
We tell you what it is, why it matters and what it costs to fix, and we do that before any extra work starts. Some problems are urgent, like a blocked flue or a badly cracked firebox. Others can wait a season. We will say which is which, and you decide.
A lot of visits end with nothing more than a clean chimney and a short plain-words answer for you. That is the ideal result, and it is the reason a yearly visit makes sense even when everything seems fine.
Why do older brick chimneys need regular attention?
Brick and mortar are tough, but not permanent. Years of Texas heat and sudden downpours wear down mortar joints, and water that gets into softened joints can flake the brick face or loosen sections of the chimney. The damage is slow, often invisible from the yard, and far cheaper to address early than after it spreads.
If your chimney is decades old, or you are not sure how old it is, treat the yearly visit as routine maintenance, like servicing the air conditioner before summer. It keeps small wear from becoming an expensive rebuild.
Newer chimneys are not exempt. Settling, missing caps and cracked crowns show up at any age.
The same goes for the firebox itself. Cracked firebrick, gaps in the mortar and worn surfaces are easier to fix early, and a yearly visit is how those small problems get caught while they are still minor. You do not need to know what to look for. That is what the inspection is for, and we tell you plainly what we see.

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
