Is a sweep worth the money if I only light the fireplace a few times a winter?
Yes. The $99 is not a fee for using the fireplace, it is a check on the safety of the chimney. Even a few fires a year leave soot and a thin layer of creosote, and the months in between give moisture, dust and animals time to settle in. A chimney that sees light use can still have a blocked flue or a failed cap.
The Chimney Xpert serves Staples as part of its Austin-area coverage. A chimney sweep and inspection starts at $99.
For many households, the main benefit is confidence. You light the fire knowing the chimney has been looked over, instead of hoping it is fine.
What do I get for $99?
You get a sweep plus an inspection of the flue, firebox, damper, cap and crown. In plain terms, we make sure the chimney is clean, the fire has a safe place to burn and the smoke has a clear way out.
If everything checks out, you are done for the year. If something does not, we explain what it is and price any extra work before we start. There is no obligation, and there are no add-ons you did not ask for.
Think of it as a yearly checkup for a part of the house that is easy to forget until it gives you trouble.
The price from $99 covers the sweep and the check. If the chimney needs extra work, we explain it and price it before anything starts.
How do winter temperature swings affect a chimney in this part of Texas?
Central Texas weather changes fast. A mild afternoon can turn into a near-freezing night, and masonry that has soaked up rain can crack when the temperature falls. Those cracks then let in more water the next time it rains, and the cycle repeats.
Wind-driven rain can also blow past a worn cap, and hot summer sun bakes the crown until it cracks. None of this is dramatic, which is exactly why it goes unnoticed. You only see it after a stain appears on the ceiling or a rusted damper will not close.
A routine inspection catches the slow damage that weather does, long before it reaches the inside of the house.
Between visits, keep wood dry and covered and make sure the damper is fully open before any fire. Small habits make the chimney last longer.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a chimney sweep cost in Staples, TX?
Our chimney sweep and inspection starts at $99. Any additional work is explained and priced before it starts.
Do I need a sweep if I barely use the fireplace?
Yes. Idle chimneys collect moisture, dust and nests, and weather can damage the cap and crown even when no fire is burning.
What if I am not sure whether the fireplace is wood or gas?
It does not matter for booking. The technician checks the chimney either way and can explain what you have.
How do I schedule?
Choose a day and a 3-hour arrival window online. The office calls or texts to confirm, and the technician calls about 30 minutes ahead.
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
