Is a decorative fireplace in Shoreacres safe to light?
Plenty of fireplaces are installed for the look and used a few times a year, or not at all. Because they sit so quietly, it is easy to forget they are connected to a real flue. That flue can hold a bird's nest, a blocked damper or a stiff coat of old soot, and none of it shows from the living room.
If you are planning a fire for a holiday gathering, the week before is a poor time to find out. A sweep and inspection ahead of time answers the question directly: either the fireplace is ready, or you know what needs to be done first.
Another good reason to check is safety for everyone in the house. A flue that looks open from below can still be partly blocked higher up, where you cannot see.
How does Gulf Coast weather change what a chimney needs?
Warm, wet air means the masonry rarely fully dries out. Mortar joints soften, the crown can crack, and metal parts such as dampers and cap screens gather rust. Add the gusty weather that moves through every year and the top of the chimney gets a steady workout.
- Humidity speeds up rust on the damper and cap
- Wind-driven rain tests the crown and mortar
- Short burning seasons leave the flue idle for months
- Idle flues attract nests and leaf debris
A regular check deals with all four in one visit, instead of discovering them one at a time.
What does the $99 visit include?
A chimney sweep and inspection from The Chimney Xpert starts at $99. We sweep the flue and check the firebox, damper, cap and crown. It is a complete look at the route smoke follows from the hearth to the open air.
If we find something that needs repair, we explain it in straightforward language and give you the price before any extra work starts. You can take your time and decide. That is how a service visit should work: clear information first, your decision second, and no surprises on the bill.
The same visit suits wood fireplaces, wood stoves and gas logs, so the price stays simple whatever you burn.

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.

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
