What should Liberty homeowners with older brick chimneys look for?
Liberty is about 40 miles from downtown Houston, and like many long-settled Texas towns it has a mix of homes from different eras. Older houses often come with full brick chimneys, and brick chimneys age in predictable ways. Mortar between the bricks softens and crumbles, a process called tuckpointing damage. The brick face can flake or spall. The liner inside the flue can crack, and the crown on top can split.
None of those show up when you look at the fireplace from inside the room. They show up as smoke smells, a fireplace that no longer draws well, stains on the wall or ceiling, or bits of mortar dropping into the firebox. If you have noticed any of these, a chimney sweep and inspection is the right first step.
What does a $99 visit tell me?
The visit starts at $99 and covers a sweep plus a check of the flue, firebox, damper, cap and crown. You come away knowing whether the chimney is clean, whether the parts are sound and whether anything needs attention.
If the inspection finds a problem, we explain it and price it before any extra work starts, so a repair never begins without you knowing the cost. If it finds nothing, you have a clean chimney and a clear answer. Either result is useful to have before you light the first fire of the season.
For older chimneys in particular, the value is the plain answer. Many owners are unsure whether the crumbling they see is cosmetic or serious, and it can be hard to tell without a look. We will say which it is, in words that make sense whether or not you know chimney terminology, and leave the decision about repairs with you.
Is it worth a sweep if I am buying or moving into a home with a fireplace?
Very much so. A fireplace you have never used is a question mark, and you do not know the last time it was swept or what the previous owner burned. A first visit answers that. It clears out whatever is in the flue, and it tells you whether the damper, cap and crown are working.
- You start with a clean chimney rather than an unknown one
- You learn about any wear before your first fire
- You can plan for repairs on your schedule, not in an emergency
It is also the right moment to ask yourself what you will burn. Wood fireplace, gas logs or a stove each call for slightly different care, and the visit is a good time to get your bearings.

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
