Does a fireplace insert change how a Troy chimney is cleaned?
A fireplace insert is a closed, efficient unit that fits inside an existing fireplace opening, and it usually vents through a liner that runs up the chimney. Inserts heat a room more effectively than an open hearth, and many homeowners in Central Texas add one for exactly that reason.
But an insert does not eliminate maintenance. The liner and the flue still collect soot and creosote if you burn wood, and the cap and crown still face the weather every day. Blockages and buildup reduce an insert's performance and can become a safety issue.
A yearly sweep and inspection keeps an insert running the way it was designed.
If you are thinking about adding an insert, a sweep and inspection first shows what condition the existing chimney is in, which is useful information before any bigger decision.
Newer equipment does not mean less attention, only different attention. Regular checks keep an insert performing the way you paid for.
What is included in the $99 sweep and inspection in Troy?
Our visit starts from $99. We sweep the flue and check the main parts of the chimney.
- The flue, swept and checked
- The firebox
- The damper
- The cap and crown
If we find something that needs more than a cleaning, we explain what it is and what it costs before we begin. Nothing extra happens without your agreement.
The visit covers the parts of the chimney that every fireplace or insert depends on, so the answer applies no matter what you burn.
There is no separate price for an insert versus an open fireplace on the standard visit. The sweep and inspection starts from $99, and any extra work is quoted to you first.
What do newer and older Troy homes have in common?
Whatever the age of the house, the weather acts on the chimney in the same way. Humid summers, hard spring rain and strong sun wear the cap, crown and mortar, and a flue sitting idle for months can collect debris.
Newer homes may have factory-built fireplaces with metal parts that can rust, while older homes may have masonry that has had decades of exposure. The details differ, but both benefit from a yearly look.
It is easier to budget for a small fix at the right time than for a big one after water has done its damage.
A yearly look at the cap and crown matters just as much with an insert, since water that gets past a damaged crown can run down behind the liner and reach parts you do not see.

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
