How do Texas storms affect a Mart chimney?
Central Texas gets its share of severe weather: heavy thunderstorms, strong wind and the occasional hailstorm. Your chimney stands at the highest point of the house, so it takes the hit first. Wind can loosen a cap, hail can chip or crack a crown, and driving rain finds every weak joint.
The damage is not always visible from the yard. A small crack at the top lets water seep down into masonry, where it freezes, thaws, rusts metal and slowly weakens mortar. By the time a stain shows on an interior wall, the damage has usually been building for a while.
That is why a check after a stormy season is well worth it.
A few specific signs point to storm damage: loose or crooked caps, chipped or crumbling crown edges, rust streaks running down the chimney and water stains on the ceiling or wall near the fireplace.
Even a mild storm season adds up over the years, which is why the top of the chimney is the part that most often needs attention.
What does a chimney sweep and inspection cover in Mart?
Our visit starts from $99 and covers the whole path of the smoke, from the firebox to the top.
- The flue is swept of soot and creosote
- The flue, firebox and damper are checked
- The cap and crown are checked for storm wear
If storm wear or any other problem shows up, we explain it and give you the price before any repair starts. You stay in control of what gets done and when.
After a season of hard weather, the cap and crown checks give you a direct answer about whether the chimney took damage, and a clear price for repair if it did.
Can I just sweep the chimney myself?
Some people try, and the results are mixed. A homemade cleaning usually misses the upper flue and cannot tell you anything about the damper, cap or crown. Soot gets pushed around and into the room, and a problem that a trained eye would catch goes unnoticed.
The value of a professional visit is as much the inspection as the cleaning. You leave knowing what state the chimney is in, which is something a bristle brush cannot tell you.
At $99 and up, it is a small price for that peace of mind before a season of fires.
If you are unsure whether the last season did any harm, the check takes the guesswork out. A chimney that came through the storms fine is worth knowing about too, because you can burn all winter without worrying.
How do I book a chimney sweep in Mart?

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
