Why does Yarrow Point's wet climate wear down chimneys faster?
Yarrow Point sits close to the water, and that means near constant moisture in the air even when it isn't actively raining. Damp air works its way into brick, mortar, and flue liners, and over time it speeds up rust on dampers and caps, softens mortar joints, and encourages moss and algae to grow on the chimney crown. Homes that burn wood or gas through our long, wet winters also build up creosote and soot faster than homes in drier climates. A yearly sweep and inspection is the simplest way to catch these issues before they turn into water leaks, blockages, or costly masonry repairs.
What's included in the $99 chimney sweep and inspection?
- A full sweep to clear soot, creosote, and debris from the flue
- A hands-on check of the firebox for cracks or damage
- Testing the damper to make sure it opens, closes, and seals properly
- A look at the cap and crown for cracks, rust, or moss buildup that can let water in
- A clear explanation of any repairs we find, with pricing given before any extra work starts
You will never be surprised by add on charges. If we spot a problem, we walk you through it and give you a price so you can decide what makes sense for your home and your budget.
How does scheduling a visit work?
Booking is simple and handled online. Pick a day that works for you and a 3-hour arrival window instead of waiting around all day. Our office follows up with a call or text to confirm the appointment, and on the day of the visit the technician calls about 30 minutes ahead so you know exactly when to expect them. It's a straightforward process built around your schedule, not ours.
What are the warning signs a Yarrow Point homeowner shouldn't ignore?
A smoky smell in the house when the fireplace isn't in use, a damp or musty odor near the firebox, drafts that seem to come from the chimney, or dark streaks on the exterior brick can all point to problems with the flue, cap, or crown. Given how much rain and humidity this area sees, water intrusion is one of the most common issues homeowners run into. Catching these signs early with a routine sweep and inspection can prevent bigger repairs down the road and keep your fireplace safe to use through the wet season.

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

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
