Why does a River Oaks chimney need regular sweeping?
Even a fireplace that only sees a handful of fires each winter builds up creosote inside the flue. That black residue is the main fuel for chimney fires, and it also traps moisture and odors. In the Dallas area, warm humid stretches followed by cold snaps make chimneys more prone to trapping dampness, which speeds up soot buildup and can lead to rust on metal parts or cracking in masonry. A regular sweep keeps the flue clear and lets your fireplace or wood stove draft properly instead of pushing smoke back into the house.
What is included in the $99 chimney sweep and inspection?
- Full sweep of the flue to remove creosote and debris
- Inspection of the flue liner for cracks, gaps or damage
- Check of the firebox and damper for proper operation
- Look at the chimney cap and crown for wear, rust or water entry points
- Clear explanation of any additional repairs, with pricing, before any extra work starts
You will never be surprised by add on charges. If something needs attention beyond the standard sweep, we walk you through it and get your approval first.
How does booking work for River Oaks homeowners?
Booking is handled online. You pick a day that works for you and choose a 3-hour arrival window. Our office will call or text to confirm the appointment, and the technician calls about 30 minutes before arrival so you know exactly when to expect us. It is a simple process built around your schedule, not ours.
What should River Oaks homeowners watch for between sweeps?
Texas weather swings hard, from humid summers to sudden freezes in winter, and that combination is tough on chimney caps and crowns. Water that gets past a damaged cap or crown can freeze and expand, widening small cracks into bigger structural problems. Keep an eye out for white staining on brick, a musty smell near the fireplace, or smoke that seems slow to draft. Any of these are good reasons to schedule an inspection rather than wait for the next scheduled sweep.

Frequently asked questions
How often should I have my chimney swept?
Most homes that use their fireplace regularly benefit from a sweep and inspection once a year, ideally before the first cold snap of the season.
Do you work on both wood burning and gas fireplaces?
Yes, the sweep and inspection covers the flue, firebox, damper, cap and crown regardless of whether you burn wood or use a gas insert.
What if the inspection finds a problem?
We explain what we found, what it means, and provide pricing for any repair before any additional work begins. You decide what to approve.
How far in advance can I book an appointment?
Booking is done online where you can pick an available day and a 3-hour arrival window that fits your schedule.
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
