Why do gas log sets in Timberwood Park homes still need a yearly check?
Gas logs are popular because they are easy: flip a switch and the fire is on. That convenience leads many owners to forget that the chimney above them still does real work every time the fire runs. It carries away exhaust gases and moisture, and if the flue is blocked, rusted or missing its cap, those gases have nowhere safe to go.
Gas logs can also produce soot if the flame is not burning as it should, and a damper that is stuck shut or partly closed is a safety problem, not just an annoyance. A yearly look at the whole system is cheap peace of mind, especially in a house where the fireplace is used often.
What does the $99 sweep and inspection include?
Our visit starts at $99. It covers:
- Sweeping the flue to clear soot, creosote and debris
- Checking the firebox for cracks and worn surfaces
- Checking the damper for a full opening and a tight seal
- Checking the cap and crown for damage that lets water in
If something needs work beyond the sweep, we explain it and price it before we start. You are always in charge of what gets done.
Homes in newer, well-maintained neighborhoods often go years without anyone looking at the chimney, simply because nothing seems wrong. A regular visit changes that. You get a clear picture of the flue, the damper and the cap, and if everything is in good shape you can say so with confidence. If something is starting to wear, you find out while the fix is still small.
Is burning wood in a fireplace safe if I keep the fire small?
A modest, well-fed fire is safer than a smoldering one. Small, smoky fires burn cool, and cool burning is what sends unburned tar up the flue where it settles as creosote. A hot, clean fire with dry wood does less harm.
A few habits help: use dry hardwood, never burn trash or treated wood, open the damper fully before you light, and keep a screen in front of the fire. Keep flammable items well back from the hearth.
Even a careful household builds up soot over a season, which is why a yearly sweep remains the standard. It removes what the fire leaves behind, and the inspection catches wear before it becomes a hazard.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a chimney sweep cost in Timberwood Park, TX?
A chimney sweep and inspection starts at $99. Extra work is explained and priced before it begins.
Do gas logs need a chimney inspection?
Yes. The flue, damper and cap still need a yearly check, since blockages and rust can make exhaust unsafe.
Why do smoldering fires cause creosote?
Cool, smoky fires send unburned tar up the flue, where it condenses as creosote. Hot fires with dry wood leave less.

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
