What does a Texas hailstorm do to a chimney?
Central Texas gets some of the most violent spring storms in the country, and chimneys sit right at the top of the roof, taking the worst of it. Hail can dent a metal cap, knock a screen loose or crack a masonry crown. Wind can twist a cap sideways. After the storm passes, you usually see nothing from the ground, but the damage is there, and the next rain finds it.
A damaged cap lets water into the flue and gives birds and squirrels a front door. That is why a yearly visit is worth booking even in a year when the fireplace never gets lit.
Spring is when it matters most, because hail season runs from March into early summer. If you do not check after a storm, a dent or crack that could have been fixed cheaply becomes a leak that affects the masonry or the firebox below.
What do I get with the $99 sweep and inspection in San Leanna?
The price for a chimney sweep and inspection starts at $99. The visit covers:
- A chimney sweep, clearing soot and creosote
- A check of the flue for obstructions and damage
- A look at the firebox
- A damper check for smooth movement and a proper seal
- A check of the cap and crown, the first places storm damage shows up
If a repair is needed, we explain it, say what it costs and wait for your decision. Nothing extra is done until you agree.
A yearly visit keeps a record of what you have seen and what you have fixed, which makes it easy to see when a part is wearing out rather than guess.
Is a chimney visit worth it if I only burn a few times each winter?
Yes. It is easy to think a few fires a year cannot do much harm, and on the soot side that is partly true. But soot is only one piece. Moisture, nesting animals, rust and a cracked crown do their work whether or not the fireplace is used, and a fireplace you only light a few times is one where problems go unnoticed the longest.
A light-use chimney tends to be cheap to maintain. A quick yearly sweep and inspection is usually all it takes, and it means the few fires you do light are safe ones.
How do I book a chimney sweep in San Leanna?
Booking is online: pick a day, pick a three-hour arrival window and submit. The office then calls or texts to confirm your appointment, and the technician calls about 30 minutes before arriving.
If a storm has just rolled through and you suspect damage, say so when we confirm. Mention a missing cap, a loud rattle on windy nights or water stains near the fireplace, and the visit can start right there.
Because the cap is so often the source of storm-related problems, it is the first thing we look at when homeowners report a rattle, a leak or a nest. A small fix at the top often saves a larger one below.

Frequently asked questions
How much is a chimney sweep in San Leanna?
A chimney sweep and inspection starts at $99. Extra work is explained and priced before it begins.
Can hail damage go unnoticed?
Yes. Dents, loose screens and cracked crowns are hard to see from the ground, which is why the cap and crown are checked on every visit.
Do I need a sweep if I only light a few fires?
A yearly check is still worthwhile, because moisture, nests and rust affect a chimney even when it is barely used.
What happens after I book online?
The office calls or texts to confirm your chosen day and three-hour window, and the 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

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
