What chimney work has The Chimney Xpert done in Clifton, TX?
In the last 24 months we have completed 2 chimney jobs in Clifton, and they were bigger than a simple cleaning. Across those two jobs the work included chimney cap work on both, plus a sweep, an inspection, a leak repair, crown work, masonry work and a rebuild. One of the homes had a wood-burning fireplace. Our first job here was in mid-May 2025 and the latest was in late September 2025.
That mix tells a useful story: in Clifton, the top of the chimney is where the trouble tends to show up.
Why do the cap and crown matter so much?
The cap sits over the flue opening, and the crown is the slab of masonry around it. Together they are the chimney's roof. Texas storms, hail and strong sun wear them down, and a small crack in a crown lets water into the masonry below it. Once water gets in, it can cause leaks, stained walls and crumbling brick, and that is how a small repair turns into a large one.
A missing or bent cap also lets in rain, leaves and animals. Checking the cap and crown is part of every visit, not an add-on.
The same logic applies to the parts in the lower part of the chimney. Water that gets past a weak crown runs down through the masonry and shows up later as stained brick, a damp firebox, a rusted damper or a musty smell. By that point the repair covers more than the crown. The work we have done in Clifton, which ran from cap and crown repair to masonry and a rebuild, shows how far a small problem can travel when it is left alone, and how much easier it is to deal with early.
What does the $99 visit cover, and what if repairs are needed?
A chimney sweep and inspection starts at $99. It covers the sweep and a check of the flue, firebox, damper, cap and crown. If we find a leak, cracked masonry or a damaged cap, we explain what we see, what it would take to fix, and the price before any extra work starts.
- Sweep and inspection from $99
- Cap and crown checks on every visit
- Extra repair work explained and priced first
You decide what happens next. There is no pressure and nothing is added without your okay.
How do I book a chimney sweep in Clifton?
Clifton is about 30 miles from downtown, and booking takes a couple of minutes online. Pick a day and a 3-hour arrival window. The office calls or texts to confirm, and the technician calls about 30 minutes before arriving.
If you have noticed a water stain near the fireplace or a chimney that looks worn at the top, mention it when you book so we know where to look first.
If you own a wood fireplace, the same visit gives you a fair read on whether it is ready for the season. If the top of the chimney shows signs of wear, you will hear about it plainly, with the price of any fix, before you agree to anything. Most homeowners find that knowing the real condition of the chimney is worth the visit on its own.

It starts at $99 and covers the sweep plus a check of the flue, firebox, damper, cap and crown.
What causes chimney crown damage?
Sun, heat, hail and repeated wet-and-dry cycles crack the crown over time. Water then gets into the masonry underneath.

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

David was prompt and very professional. He inspected and cleaned the fireplace & went over everything that he did and provided valuable information. Price was better that competitor's. I will definitely continue to do business with this company.
Very pleased with the professionalism and promptness of service. Chad was very helpful and courteous and the work was done quickly and efficiently at significantly less cost than the first quote we received. Happy to recommend Chimney Xpert.
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
