Is the chimney cap the first thing to check on a Rollingwood home?
Often it is. The cap and the crown are the parts of a chimney that face the weather every day, and in Central Texas that means scorching summer sun, hard rain and the occasional hailstorm. A cap that has rusted, shifted or lost its screen lets rain into the flue and gives squirrels and birds an easy way in. A cracked crown lets water soak into the masonry below it, where it does damage you cannot see from the living room.
Because those parts are so exposed, they are checked on every visit, together with the flue, firebox and damper.
It is also the part most likely to go unnoticed, since nobody looks at the top of the chimney from the yard.
What do you get for $99 in Rollingwood?
A chimney sweep and inspection starts at $99. Here is what it covers:
- A chimney sweep to remove soot and creosote buildup
- A check of the flue for obstructions or damage
- A look at the firebox
- A damper check, to confirm it opens fully and closes tight
- A check of the cap and crown
When a problem turns up, we tell you what it is, what it would take to fix and what it costs, all before any extra work begins. Nothing is added to the job without your say-so.
Most visits end with nothing more than a clean chimney and a clear answer: everything checks out, see you next year. That is the outcome a good yearly visit is meant to deliver, and it is the reason a modest starting price makes sense.
Do shade trees and leaf litter affect a chimney in this area?
They can. Central Texas neighborhoods with mature oaks, elms and cedar see a steady fall of leaves, acorns and twigs. A cap with damaged mesh lets that debris into the flue, where it can partly block the draft. A blocked or narrowed flue is what sends smoke back into the room, and it is also a handy nesting spot for animals that settle in during summer and are still there when you light the first fire.
A yearly visit clears out whatever has collected and confirms the cap is doing its job before the burning season starts.
How do I schedule a chimney sweep in Rollingwood?
Go online, pick a day and choose a three-hour arrival window. After you submit, our office calls or texts to confirm, and the technician phones about 30 minutes before arriving. There is no need to guess when someone will show up.
Gas-log and wood-burning homes are both welcome. If your fireplace is mainly for atmosphere and you only light it for a few cold evenings, it still needs the same yearly look, because the flue collects debris whether you use it or not.
Not sure what you have? Brick chimney, stone, or a metal flue behind a factory-built firebox all get the same thorough attention. Tell us what you know when we confirm, and we will take it from there.

Frequently asked questions
What is included in the $99 chimney sweep and inspection?
The sweep itself plus a check of the flue, firebox, damper, cap and crown. Any extra work is explained and priced before it starts.
Why does the chimney cap matter so much?
It keeps rain, animals and debris out of the flue. A damaged cap is one of the most common causes of leaks and blockages.
I rarely use my fireplace. Do I still need a sweep?
A yearly check is still worth it. Debris, nests and moisture collect in an unused flue, and you want to find them before the first fire, not during it.
How far ahead will the technician call?
The technician calls about 30 minutes before arriving, within the three-hour window you chose when booking.
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
