What does a yearly chimney sweep do for a Redwood home?
It removes the soot and creosote that build up in the flue and gives a trained eye a chance to check the rest of the chimney. The two jobs go together. A clean flue reduces the fuel for a chimney fire, and an inspection looks for the quiet damage that can lead to leaks, drafts and smoke in the house.
The Chimney Xpert serves Redwood as part of its Austin-area coverage. A chimney sweep and inspection starts at $99.
People often put off chimney care because nothing looks wrong. The trouble with chimneys is that most of the important parts are out of sight, so a problem can grow for years before it becomes visible.
What is covered in the $99 price?
The price covers the sweep and an inspection of the flue, firebox, damper, cap and crown. If all is well, you are finished. If something needs more, we explain what we found and what it would cost before any extra work starts.
Many homeowners are surprised by how often small, cheap fixes keep larger problems away. A cap replaced before a bird nests in the flue, a crown sealed before water soaks in, a damper freed up before it sticks shut. Yearly checkups tend to catch these when they are still minor.
That is the real value of a routine visit: fewer surprises and a fireplace you can trust.
The same is true of the cap and crown, which face the weather every day of the year. A look at them once a year costs little and helps them last.
How does Texas heat and humidity wear on a masonry chimney?
Masonry takes a beating here. Long hot summers bake mortar and sealants until they dry and crack. Humid stretches soak brick and keep it damp. Hard rain finds the smallest opening. A rare freeze then expands the water trapped in those openings and widens the cracks.
Wood stoves, open hearths and gas logs all depend on the same chimney structure for their safety. Whatever you burn, protecting the masonry and the metal parts from weather is part of keeping the fireplace working for many years.
Because our burning season is brief, damage from the off-season often goes unnoticed until the first fire.
Between sweeps, keep an eye out for signs such as water stains near the fireplace, rust on the damper or a musty smell. They are worth mentioning when you book.

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
