What does a chimney sweep do for a rural home in Round Mountain?
On a rural property, the chimney often carries more of the load. A wood stove may heat the main room, and the fireplace may be the gathering point through the cooler months. That makes a clean, sound chimney far more than decoration. It is part of how the house stays warm and safe.
The Chimney Xpert serves Round Mountain as part of its Austin-area coverage. A chimney sweep and inspection starts at $99. We remove the buildup, check the structure and tell you plainly what condition the chimney is in.
A little attention each year goes a long way. A swept flue, a solid cap and a working damper are what make a wood stove or hearth dependable through the season.
What is included in the sweep and inspection?
We clean the flue and inspect the firebox, damper, cap and crown. These are the pieces that keep fire in the firebox, smoke in the flue and water out of the masonry.
If a part is worn, cracked or missing, we tell you what it is and what it would cost to fix, and we do not start extra work before you approve the price. Most homeowners want to know where they stand, and the $99 visit is built to provide that.
The fireplace you rely on every winter should be one you can trust, and trust comes from checking it, not from assuming it is fine.
How does wildlife get into a chimney, and why does it matter?
Chimneys look like hollow trees to many animals. Birds, squirrels and raccoons can get in through an open or damaged cap, and once inside they build nests that block the flue. A blocked flue forces smoke back into the room, and dry nesting material can even catch fire.
Rural homes near trees and open land see more of this than most. A sound cap with a proper screen is the first line of defense, and it is one of the items we check at every visit. Leaves, twigs and pine needles from nearby trees can also collect at the top of the chimney over the year.
Finding these problems in the fall is far easier than finding them with a fire already lit.
Between visits, keep limbs trimmed back from the chimney and watch for leaf litter at the top. Simple upkeep like that makes the yearly visit more effective.

Frequently asked questions
What is the price of a chimney sweep in Round Mountain, TX?
Our chimney sweep and inspection starts at $99. Additional work is explained and priced first.
Can animals really block a chimney?
Yes. Nests from birds and squirrels can block the flue and force smoke back into the house. A good cap helps keep them out.
Do you check the cap and crown?
Yes. Along with the flue, firebox and damper, the cap and crown are part of every sweep and inspection.
How do I confirm my booking?
After you book online, the office calls or texts to confirm, and your technician calls about 30 minutes before arriving.
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
