When was the last time your Poth chimney was swept?
If you cannot remember, you are in good company. Many homeowners light a fire every winter without once thinking about the flue above it. The chimney sits out of sight, and nothing seems wrong until a fire smokes badly or a musty smell drifts in during humid weather.
A sweep answers the question for you. We clear the flue, look over the parts around it, and tell you what shape it is in. For a house you have owned for years or one you just moved into, that starting point is worth having.
Buying an older home makes the question even more pressing. Sellers rarely know the last sweep date, and a first inspection gives you a record to build on from day one.
What does the $99 sweep and inspection look at?
Starting at $99, one visit covers the full run of the chimney:
- Flue: sweeping away soot and creosote.
- Firebox: checking brick and mortar for cracks and wear.
- Damper: making sure it moves freely and seals.
- Cap and crown: checking for damage that lets in rain or animals.
Anything that needs repair is explained to you first, with the price, before work begins. We do not start extras on our own.
The inspection is as important as the sweep. Clean soot out of a flue with a failing liner and you have only solved half of the problem.
Why do older brick chimneys need regular attention?
Small-town Texas has plenty of homes with brick chimneys that have stood for decades. Brick itself is tough, but the mortar between the bricks is not permanent. Heat from fires, humid air and summer storms wear it down, and loose joints let moisture reach places it should not.
Flue liners in older chimneys can also crack with age, and dampers can rust stiff from years of humidity. None of this shows up from the living room. A regular inspection spots it early, when the fix is usually smaller and cheaper than waiting for a bigger failure.
Newer homes with factory-built fireplaces are not immune either, since metal parts and caps can corrode in damp air.
Even a modest repair such as repointing a loose joint or replacing a rusted damper is easier and cheaper caught early, while the rest of the chimney is still in good shape.
How do I book a chimney sweep in Poth?
Go online, pick a day, and choose a 3-hour arrival window. The office will call or text to confirm. On the day of the visit, your technician calls about 30 minutes before arriving.
The chimney sweep and inspection starts at $99. If it has been a few winters since anyone checked your chimney, booking a visit this fall is an easy way to start the season on solid footing.
Choose the day that suits your household, and the arrival window gives you a clear stretch of the day to be home for the visit.

Frequently asked questions
What does a chimney sweep cost in Poth, TX?
Our chimney sweep and inspection starts at $99. Additional work is priced and explained before it begins.
How do I know if my chimney needs cleaning?
Signs include smoky fires, a strong odor, visible soot buildup or a fireplace that has gone a year or more without a sweep. An inspection gives you a clear answer.
Can a chimney be checked even if it looks fine from inside?
Yes. Many problems, such as cracked liners or crown damage, are not visible from the living room, which is why the inspection matters.

Choose a day and a 3-hour arrival window online. 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
