Does a gas log fireplace in Malone need a chimney sweep too?
Many homeowners assume that gas logs mean a chimney that never needs attention. Gas burns cleaner than wood, but the chimney above it is still exposed to Texas weather all year, and it can still hold debris, moisture and animal nesting. Rust, a cracked crown or a blocked flue can show up on a gas system just as easily as on a wood one.
If you burn wood in Malone, the picture is different: creosote and soot collect with every fire, and they need to be removed on a regular schedule. Whichever fuel you use, a yearly sweep and inspection is the easy way to know where things stand.
What does a chimney sweep in Malone actually include?
The Chimney Xpert serves Malone as part of our Central Texas coverage, and the standard visit is the same for every home. Pricing starts at $99 for a chimney sweep and inspection. That covers the sweep and a check of the flue, firebox, damper, cap and crown.
- Flue: is it clear, and is the liner in good shape?
- Firebox: cracked or crumbling brick and mortar show up here first.
- Damper: does it open, close and seal properly?
- Cap and crown: the parts that keep rain and animals out.
If we spot something that needs extra work, we explain it and price it before anything starts. You always get the choice.
Why does a rural-area chimney need a yearly look?
Homes outside the larger towns often have more trees close by, more wind and more wildlife. Leaves pile up around a cap, branches rub the masonry, and birds and squirrels look for a warm, sheltered place to nest in a flue that nobody has opened in months. You usually will not notice any of it until the first fire of the year fills the room with smoke.
Heat and humidity add their own wear. Summer sun dries out mortar, and heavy spring rain finds every small crack. Catching those early is cheaper than repairing water damage later.
There is also the question of value. Many homeowners put off a chimney check because they assume it is expensive or that the visit will turn into an upsell. A fixed starting price helps with that. You know the cost of the sweep and inspection up front, and if the technician finds a problem, the repair is explained and priced before it starts. You can say yes, say no, or take the information and think it over. The goal is a chimney you can trust, not a bigger invoice.

When was the last time you cleaned your Chimney?
Over 25,000 chimney fires in the U.S. last year were responsible for over $120 million in property damage. Chimney fires can quickly spread into house fires in a relatively short period of time.
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
