What does a fireplace inspection actually tell a Lott homeowner?
A chimney looks simple, but it is a chain of parts that all have to work. The firebox holds the fire, the damper controls airflow, the flue carries smoke up and out, and the cap and crown keep the weather and animals away. If one link fails, the whole system is affected.
An inspection checks each link and tells you what you actually have. Is the flue clear or coated? Does the damper open fully and close tightly? Is the crown sound or cracked? Those are plain, practical answers that homeowners rarely get by looking up from the hearth.
That clarity is the real value of a sweep and inspection, well beyond the cleaning itself.
The hearth and mantel get all the attention, but the working parts of a chimney are the ones you cannot see. A good inspection brings those parts into the conversation.
Knowing the answers lets you use the fireplace with confidence, and know what to budget for if repairs are needed.
What does a Lott chimney sweep and inspection include?
The visit starts from $99. We sweep the flue and check each main part.
- The flue, swept and checked
- The firebox
- The damper
- The cap and crown
If something needs more than cleaning, we explain the problem and the cost before we begin. There are no surprise charges, and the decision is yours.
We look at the same full set of parts on every visit, so you can compare the chimney year over year and spot changes early.
Homeowners tend to be surprised by how much the inspection tells them, even when the fireplace has never given any trouble.
How often should a rarely used fireplace be inspected?
Even a fireplace you light only a few times a year should be checked once a year. The reason is that chimneys age whether or not they are used. Sun, rain, humidity and wildlife all act on them all year, and a light-use chimney can be blocked by nests or damaged at the crown without a single fire.
Burning less means less soot, so sweeping may be quick, but the inspection is where the value lies for light users. Finding a cracked crown or a failed cap early is much cheaper than fixing the water damage it causes.
Texas storms make that yearly look more important, not less.
If you have lived in your home for years and cannot remember when the chimney was last cleaned, that is reason enough to book. A chimney does not send a reminder, but a yearly habit does the job.

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
