How often should Shady Shores homeowners get a chimney sweep?
Most fireplace and wood stove owners in the Dallas area need a sweep and inspection once a year, ideally before the first cold snap. Homes near Lewisville Lake see plenty of humidity most of the year, and that moisture works its way into brick, mortar, and flue liners even when the fireplace only gets occasional use. A yearly check keeps creosote buildup, nesting debris, and small cracks from turning into bigger repairs.
What does the $99 chimney sweep and inspection cover?
- Full sweep to clear soot and creosote from the flue
- Inspection of the firebox and damper for cracks, rust, or wear
- Check of the chimney cap and crown for gaps or water entry points
- Look at the flue liner condition from top to bottom
- Clear explanation of any findings, with pricing before any extra work starts
How does booking a visit in Shady Shores work?
Booking is handled online. You pick a day and a 3 hour arrival window that fits your schedule. Our office calls or texts to confirm the appointment, and the technician calls about 30 minutes before arrival so you are not left waiting around. It is a simple process built around your day, not ours.
Why does North Texas weather matter for chimney upkeep?
Shady Shores sits about 30 miles from downtown Dallas, in a part of Texas that swings between long humid stretches and sudden winter cold fronts. That freeze thaw cycle is hard on brick and mortar joints, and it can widen small cracks in a chimney crown faster than homeowners expect. Regular inspection catches that kind of damage early, before water gets behind the masonry or into the flue liner.

Frequently asked questions
Do you offer chimney sweeps for gas fireplaces too?
Yes. Gas appliances still need the flue and firebox checked for blockages, corrosion, and proper venting, even though they do not produce creosote like wood fires do.
How long does a chimney sweep and inspection take?
It depends on the condition of the chimney and what the inspection finds. Your technician will walk you through the details on site.
What if the inspection finds a problem?
You will get a clear explanation of what was found, along with pricing for any repair work, before anything beyond the standard sweep and inspection begins.
Can I book an appointment online for Shady Shores?
Yes. You can pick a day and a 3 hour arrival window through our online booking system, and our office will confirm the details with you.
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

David was prompt and very professional. He inspected and cleaned the fireplace & went over everything that he did and provided valuable information. Price was better that competitor's. I will definitely continue to do business with this company.
Very pleased with the professionalism and promptness of service. Chad was very helpful and courteous and the work was done quickly and efficiently at significantly less cost than the first quote we received. Happy to recommend Chimney Xpert.
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
