Do mature trees cause chimney problems in Pecan Grove?
Shady neighborhoods with established trees are lovely, but they are also hard on a chimney. Leaves, twigs and seed pods drop onto the roof and into any flue that is not properly capped. Squirrels use overhanging branches as a bridge straight to the top of the chimney, and a dry, sheltered flue looks like a perfect home to them.
Debris and nests can block the flue, and a blocked flue sends smoke and gases back into the house. If a tree hangs near your roof, the cap deserves extra attention, and so does the flue beneath it.
The fix is usually simple. A sound cap with a proper screen keeps out leaves and animals, and a yearly sweep clears anything that got past. Shady yards just make the routine a little more important.
How often should a wood-burning fireplace be swept?
Once a year is the standard advice, and it is a good rule. Heavier users, such as those who burn on most cold evenings, may need more attention, since creosote builds with every fire. Burning wood that is dry and well seasoned keeps the buildup lighter, while damp wood makes it heavier and stickier.
Creosote is the real reason for sweeping. It is flammable, and a thick layer inside a flue is what feeds a chimney fire. Removing it once a year is a small, inexpensive habit that protects the whole house.
Even if you only light the fireplace occasionally, a yearly check still pays off, because the flue can change while sitting idle.
What does the $99 visit include?
Our chimney sweep and inspection starts at $99. We clean the chimney and check the flue, the firebox, the damper, the cap and the crown.
- A cleaned flue, free of soot and creosote
- A firebox check for wear and damage
- A damper that opens and seals as it should
- A cap that keeps leaves, rain and squirrels out
- A crown that keeps water out of the masonry
If something needs extra work, we explain it and give you the price first, before anything starts. You choose what to do, with nothing added in the background.

Frequently asked questions
What does a chimney sweep cost in Pecan Grove?
Chimney sweep and inspection from The Chimney Xpert starts at $99. Additional work is explained and priced before it begins.

Yes. An uncapped or damaged flue is an easy home for them, and their nests can block it. We check the cap on every visit.
What is creosote?
Creosote is a flammable residue left by burning wood. A sweep removes it so it cannot build into a fire risk.

Pick a day and a 3-hour arrival window online. The office calls or texts to confirm, and the technician calls about 30 minutes before arriving.
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

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
