Just moved into a home with a fireplace? Should you get the chimney checked first?
Families who move often, or who have just landed in a new home, face the same question: is this fireplace safe to use? You usually do not know how long it has sat idle, who used it last, or when it was swept. A previous owner or tenant may have burned wood every night or never once, and either way the flue may be carrying soot, debris or damage that you cannot see from the living room.
A chimney sweep and inspection before your first fire answers those questions. It costs a small fraction of the repair it may save, and it lets you enjoy the fireplace from day one instead of wondering.
What does the $99 visit cover?
The Chimney Xpert sweep and inspection starts at $99 and includes:
- A full sweep of the flue to remove soot and creosote
- A check of the firebox for cracks, worn brick and surface damage
- A check of the damper for smooth movement and a good seal
- A check of the chimney cap and crown
If the visit turns up something that needs more work, we describe it in plain terms and give you the price before we start anything extra. Nothing happens without your agreement.
Does a fireplace that only gets used a few times a year still need sweeping?
Often, yes. Light use means less soot, but the chimney still faces heat, humidity and storms every year whether or not a fire has been lit. Central and South Texas weather brings hot summers and hard rain, and both wear on mortar, crowns and dampers.
Holiday fireplaces are where surprises tend to show up. Nobody thinks about the flue until the night of a family gathering, which is the worst time to find a nest or a stuck damper. A quick visit earlier in the fall means the fireplace is ready when you want it.
If you are renting, it is worth asking your landlord when the chimney was last serviced before you use it.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a chimney sweep cost at Randolph AFB, TX?
A chimney sweep and inspection starts at $99. Any extra work is explained and priced before it starts.
Should I have a chimney checked before using it in a new home?
Yes. You do not know when it was last swept or what condition it is in, so a sweep and inspection before the first fire is the safe choice.
Do gas fireplaces need a visit too?
Yes. The flue, damper and cap can still rust, clog or wear, so they benefit from a yearly check.
How does scheduling work?
Book online, choose a day and a 3-hour arrival window, and the office will call or text to confirm. 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

David was prompt and very professional. He inspected and cleaned the fireplace & went over everything that he did and provided valuable information. Price was better that competitor's. I will definitely continue to do business with this company.

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
