Does a fireplace you rarely use still need a sweep in Simonton?
Yes, and it surprises a lot of people. Simonton is about 37 miles from downtown Houston, and in this part of Texas a fireplace may see only a few fires in a whole winter. It is easy to think a chimney that barely gets used cannot have much wrong with it.
In fact, idle chimneys collect problems of their own. Humid air gets into the flue and rusts the damper. Birds, squirrels and insects find a warm, sheltered spot and build in it. Soot from the last few fires sits there and absorbs moisture, which produces that stale, smoky smell when the weather turns damp. Checking the chimney before you light it is far better than finding a nest with a match in your hand.
Wood fireplace, gas logs or wood stove: what changes?
The fuel changes what builds up, not whether the chimney needs attention.
- Wood fireplace: soot and creosote collect on the flue walls and need sweeping out each year.
- Gas logs: cleaner burning, but moisture, rust and debris still gather, and the damper and cap must work properly.
- Wood stove: burns hot and often, so the flue and its connections need regular attention.
Our sweep and inspection handles all three at the same starting price, and it looks at the same key parts every time: flue, firebox, damper, cap and crown.
What will the $99 visit tell me about my chimney?
The visit starts at $99. After the sweep, you get a clear picture of how your chimney is doing: whether the flue is clean, whether the firebox is in good shape, whether the damper moves freely, and whether the cap and crown are doing their job keeping water and animals out.
If something more than a sweep is needed, we explain it plainly and give you the price before extra work starts. Many homeowners find that a chimney is simply fine, and that is worth knowing too. Either way you leave the season with a real answer instead of a guess.
How do I book a chimney sweep in Simonton?
Book online by picking a day and a 3-hour arrival window. The office calls or texts to confirm, and the technician calls about 30 minutes ahead of arriving.
A good time to book is when you first notice the weather changing, or any time you buy or move into a home with a fireplace you have never used. Knowing the state of the chimney before the first fire is simple peace of mind, and it keeps the cold-weather rush from catching you out. The visit starts at $99.
A yearly check also helps if you are thinking about switching fuels. People in this area often move from wood to gas logs, or add a wood stove, and the chimney has to suit the change. Having the flue, damper and cap looked over first means you start with real information about what the chimney can handle.

Frequently asked questions
How much is a chimney sweep in Simonton, TX?
A chimney sweep and inspection starts at $99. Additional work is explained and priced before it starts.
Why does my fireplace smell when it is humid?
Soot and creosote in the flue absorb moisture, and the smell comes back into the room. A sweep removes the source of the odor.
Can animals nest in an unused chimney?
Yes. Birds and small animals often nest in a flue that has not been used for a while, and a nest can block smoke. The flue and cap are part of the inspection.
How do I book?
Book online, choose a day and a 3-hour arrival window. The office calls or texts to confirm, 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

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
