How should I burn wood so my South Mountain chimney stays cleaner?
The type of wood and how it is stored make a big difference to what ends up in your flue. Seasoned wood, which has dried for many months, burns hotter and leaves far less creosote than green or damp wood. In a humid Texas climate, wood that sits uncovered or on the ground soaks up moisture quickly, and wet wood smolders and smokes instead of burning cleanly.
Good habits help: stack wood off the ground and cover the top, burn small hot fires rather than slow smoldering ones, and keep the damper fully open while the fire burns. Even with perfect habits, soot and creosote collect over a season, which is where a yearly sweep comes in.
What does the $99 visit include?
The Chimney Xpert serves South Mountain as part of our Central Texas coverage. A chimney sweep and inspection starts at $99 and covers the sweep plus a check of the flue, firebox, damper, cap and crown.
- Soot and creosote cleared from the flue
- Firebox checked for cracked or crumbling material
- Damper checked so it opens fully and closes tight
- Cap and crown checked for damage and gaps
If we find something that needs more than a cleaning, we explain it and price it before any extra work starts. The decision stays with you.
Before you book, it helps to know what you burn. If it is mostly wood, tell us how often you use it and whether it is a stove or an open fireplace, since heavier use suggests a more thorough look at the flue. If it is a gas log set, mention that too. Either way, the same $99 visit applies, and whatever we find is explained in plain language, with any extra work priced before it starts.
Why are rural and hill-country style properties hard on chimneys?
Properties with more land often mean more trees, more wind exposure and more animals nearby. Falling limbs can damage a cap, leaves collect around the flue opening, and wildlife looks for shelter in a chimney with no cover. A chimney that sits quietly for months can be home to a nest by fall.
Rural homes also tend to rely on the fireplace or stove more often when the weather turns, since it is a dependable source of heat when the power is out after a storm. That is a good reason to know your chimney is ready before you need it, not during the first outage of the season.
How do I book a chimney sweep in South Mountain?
Book online. Pick a day and a 3-hour arrival window, and the office calls or texts to confirm. The technician calls about 30 minutes before arriving. South Mountain is about 32 miles from downtown, so a confirmed window is especially helpful, and we keep to it.
Booking ahead of the first cold week gives you your pick of days.

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
