Why does a damp, low-lying area need more chimney attention?
Homes in low ground and close to water tend to live with more humidity than those on high, dry hilltops. That moisture follows you into the chimney. Damp air sits in the flue over the long Texas summer, and the result shows up as rust on the damper, a musty smell that gets worse on humid days and brickwork that stays damp long after a rain has passed. Wood-burning households find that soot absorbs the moisture too, which makes it smell stronger.
A sweep and inspection clears the buildup and shows what the moisture has been doing. It is a good yearly check for any home where the air is often heavy.
Airing the room helps, but it does not reach the source of the smell. Clearing the flue and checking the cap and damper often solve a problem that air fresheners never will.
What is covered in the $99 visit?
The chimney sweep and inspection starts at $99. It covers:
- A chimney sweep to remove soot and creosote
- A check of the flue for damage or obstructions
- A look at the firebox for damp, cracks and wear
- A damper check for rust and a tight seal
- A check of the cap and crown
If we find a problem that needs more than a sweep, we explain it and give you the price before any work begins. Nothing extra is done until you say so.
Most of the time the visit confirms that the chimney is fine and gives you a clean flue. When it finds something, you hear about it early, with the price attached.
Do country properties attract more chimney pests?
They can. Open land, mature trees and outbuildings make a good home for wildlife, and a warm, dry chimney is always an attractive spot. Squirrels, birds and sometimes raccoons will use an uncapped flue, and nesting material can block the draft entirely. Some of those nests are only noticed when smoke comes back into the room on the first fire of the season.
A cap with intact screening is the answer, and the cap is checked on every visit. If you have heard scratching or noticed debris in the firebox, mention it when you book.
How do I book a chimney sweep in Webberville?
Pick a day and a three-hour arrival window online. The office calls or texts to confirm, and the technician calls about 30 minutes before arriving. That is all there is to it.
Wood stoves and open fireplaces are both common in small-town and rural homes, and both need a yearly visit. If the chimney has not been swept for a few seasons, the standard visit is the right place to start, and the inspection will tell you what, if anything, comes next.
A fall booking is best, before the first cold week. A spring booking works too, especially if a wet season has left you wondering how the chimney held up.

Frequently asked questions
What does a chimney sweep cost in Webberville?
A chimney sweep and inspection starts at $99. Any extra work is explained and priced before it begins.
Why does my fireplace smell musty?
Damp air and moisture in the flue are common causes. The inspection checks the cap, crown and damper, which are often where water gets in.
How do I keep animals out of the chimney?
A cap with intact screening is the main defense, and it is checked on every visit.
How does scheduling work?
You pick a day and a three-hour window online. The office confirms by call or text, and the technician calls about 30 minutes before arriving.
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
