Why chimney maintenance matters
Even in Texas, fireplaces should be inspected and cleaned when used. Creosote buildup, animal nests, damaged caps, water leaks, or cracked masonry can create safety and moisture problems.

Sweep vs repair
A sweep cleans buildup. A repair fixes damage. If there is water intrusion, cracked masonry, a damaged cap, or flashing failure, cleaning alone will not solve the issue.
