Does a wood stove or farmhouse fireplace need a yearly sweep in Thompsons?
Homes on larger lots and in quieter country settings often rely on wood for real heat, whether through a stove, an insert or an open fireplace. Regular burning means regular creosote, and creosote does not wait for a convenient moment. It builds on the flue walls with every fire, and the heavier you burn, the faster it grows.
A yearly sweep removes that layer before it becomes a hazard. It also shows whether the flue liner, the stovepipe connections and the cap are holding up to the season. A chimney that serves as a working heat source deserves more attention, not less.
If your setup has been running hard all season, it is worth having the flue checked mid-winter too. Heavy burners collect creosote quickly, and it is better to remove it than to hope it is thin.
What can animals and weather do to an open chimney?
Rural and semi-rural properties share their space with wildlife. Raccoons, squirrels and birds all look for warm, dry places to nest, and a chimney without a solid cap fits the description. A nest in the flue can block the exhaust completely.
Weather adds its own pressure. Heavy Gulf Coast rain finds hairline cracks in the crown, and summer heat dries the masonry out again, which widens those cracks year after year. The cap and crown are the chimney's roof, and like any roof they need an occasional look.
If you have not seen your chimney top in a while, a sweep and inspection is a simple way to get an honest answer about its condition.
What is covered in the $99 chimney sweep and inspection?
Our chimney sweep and inspection starts at $99. We sweep the flue and check the firebox, damper, cap and crown, following the route smoke takes from the stove or hearth to the sky.
- Sweep to clear soot and creosote
- Firebox check for cracks and wear
- Damper check for proper movement
- Cap check to keep wildlife and rain out
- Crown check for cracks that admit water
When extra work is needed, we explain it in plain words and price it before we begin. You stay in control of every decision, and the work starts only when you say yes.

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
