What happens to a chimney in Point Venture when the house sits empty?
Many homes in lake-country communities like Point Venture are used part of the year, or lived in only on weekends. A fireplace in a house that sits empty still ages. Humid air moves down the flue, dampers stick, and a quiet chimney is a perfect spot for a bird or a wasp nest.
When you come back for a cool weekend and light a fire without checking, blocked or damaged parts are found the hard way, with smoke in the living room. A sweep and inspection before the season begins gives you a clear answer about whether the fireplace is ready, and you will not find out on the night you want to use it.
Think of it like a boat or a vacation home: anything left alone for months deserves a check before it goes back into service. The chimney works hard for a few nights and then sits, exposed to the weather, for the rest of the year.
What does a $99 chimney sweep in Point Venture include?
A visit starts at $99 and includes a full look at your chimney system:
- A sweep of the flue to remove soot and creosote
- A check of the firebox, including cracks and worn areas
- A check that the damper opens fully and closes tight
- A look at the cap and the crown
If we find anything that needs more work, we explain it and price it before it starts. Nothing gets done without your yes.
Whether your fireplace burns wood or gas, the visit gives you a clear picture of its condition before the season begins.
How often should a weekend fireplace be swept?
The usual advice is once a year, and that holds for weekend and seasonal homes too. The buildup depends on how much wood you burn, but the outside damage does not depend on use at all. Rain, heat and humidity work on the cap, crown and damper every month of the year, whether anyone is home or not.
A good habit is to book your sweep in early fall, ahead of the first cold weekend. If you burn mostly on holidays, schedule it before the first long stay so the fireplace is ready when the family arrives.
If your fireplace burns wood, think about the firewood too. Logs stored outdoors for months take on moisture, and damp logs create more smoke and more creosote. Stack them off the ground, keep them covered and plan on a sweep after any winter of heavy use.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a chimney sweep cost in Point Venture?
Chimney sweep and inspection in Point Venture starts at $99. Extra work is explained and priced before it begins.
Does a fireplace need checking if the house is only used on weekends?
Yes. Humidity, rain and nesting animals affect a chimney whether or not it is used, so a yearly sweep and check is still a good idea.
When is the best time to book?
Early fall, before the first cold weekend, is ideal, though spring and summer usually have more open days.
How does the booking process work?
Book online, choose a day and a 3-hour arrival window. The office confirms by call or text, and the technician calls about 30 minutes ahead.
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
