Is your Leroy fireplace ready for the first cold snap?
In Central Texas the first real cold snap often arrives with almost no warning. One day it is 85 degrees and the next you want a fire going by evening. That is the worst moment to learn the damper is stuck, the flue is full of soot or a bird has built a nest where the smoke should go.
Getting the chimney checked before that first cold night turns a stressful evening into a normal one. You light the fire, the smoke rises, and the house warms up the way you pictured.
A fireplace that has not been used since last winter deserves a quick look, no matter how well it worked the last time.
What happens during a chimney sweep and inspection in Leroy?
Our visit starts from $99 and covers the full path of the smoke. We sweep the flue to clear out soot and creosote, then check the following:
- The flue for blockage or damage
- The firebox where the fire burns
- The damper that opens and closes the flue
- The cap and crown at the top of the chimney
When the visit is done, you know whether the chimney is ready to use or needs attention first.
If extra work is needed, we explain it in plain terms and give you the price before anything begins. No work starts until you say yes.
A chimney that looks fine from the living room can still hide trouble higher up, which is why the check reaches from the firebox all the way to the crown.
How often should Leroy homeowners sweep a wood-burning chimney?
A good rule is once a year, ahead of the burning season. If you burn a lot of wood, a winter with many fires means more buildup, but even a few fires leave creosote behind. Creosote is flammable, and thick layers are what make chimney fires possible.
Burning well-seasoned hardwood helps. Dry wood burns hotter and cleaner, so less of that sticky residue sticks to the flue walls. Green or damp wood does the opposite.
If you ever notice a strong smoky smell when the fireplace is not in use, or a fire that struggles to draw, do not wait for the yearly schedule. Book a visit and have it looked at.
Wood type matters as much as sweep timing. Oak and other dense hardwoods that have been split and stored dry for months burn steadily and leave a thin, brittle layer that sweeps out easily. Fresh-cut wood does the reverse, which is why two homes with the same fireplace can need very different amounts of cleaning.
How do I book a chimney sweep in Leroy?
Go to the online booking page, pick a day and choose a 3-hour arrival window. The office calls or texts to confirm your appointment, and the technician calls about 30 minutes before arriving.
That is all there is to it. Book a chimney sweep and inspection in Leroy from $99 and be ready before the weather changes.
Most Leroy homeowners find it easiest to book the moment the first cool forecast appears, since the days are still open and there is no rush. A short online form replaces the phone tag, and you choose the window that fits your day.

Creosote is a tar-like residue left by wood smoke. It is flammable, so sweeping it out each year is a basic part of fire safety.

It is better to book before the cold arrives. Early booking gives you more choice of days and time to handle any repair.

When was the last time you cleaned your Chimney?

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
