Do custom homes with tall stone or brick chimneys need special care?
They need the same basics as any chimney, with a few extras worth watching. Weston Lakes is about 34 miles from downtown Houston, and larger custom homes often feature tall, prominent chimneys with stone or brick finishes, decorative caps and sometimes several flues in one stack.
A taller chimney catches more wind and rain, and decorative caps, while handsome, can hide wear. Stone and brick veneer also need their joints kept sound, since water that gets in behind the finish can stain the exterior and damage the structure.
A yearly look at the top of the chimney and inside the flue keeps a showpiece chimney working as well as it looks.
When you are proud of how a home looks, it makes sense to care for the parts that protect it. A well-kept chimney is less likely to stain, leak or need a large repair later.
What is included in the $99 sweep and inspection?
Our chimney sweep and inspection from $99 covers these items:
- Sweeping the flue and cleaning the firebox
- Checking the damper for movement and a good seal
- Checking the flue and firebox for cracks and buildup
- Checking the cap and crown, including decorative details
If we find something that needs more than a cleaning, we explain it clearly and price it before any extra work starts.
For homes with several fireplaces, each one has its own flue and parts to check, and it is sensible to have them all looked at in a single visit.
Our goal is a clear, honest assessment. If everything is in good shape, we tell you so. If a cap needs replacing or a crown needs attention, you will know exactly what and why before any decision is made.
Does humidity affect a large home differently?
Not differently, but in a bigger house there is more to keep an eye on. Humid air finds its way into every flue, and a fireplace that is rarely used can collect moisture, dust and odors for months.
Larger homes often run air conditioning hard through the summer, which means a cold house and a hot, damp chimney top. That contrast can cause condensation inside a flue, and condensation leads to rust on metal parts and staining on masonry.
Closing the damper when the fireplace is off helps reduce drafts. Still, a yearly inspection is the reliable way to know the state of the whole system.
Gas and wood fireplaces often coexist in larger homes, and each one has its own needs. A gas set in a formal room may go a long time without a look, while a wood hearth in a family room collects creosote every winter.

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
