What does a $99 chimney sweep in Cottonwood cover?
The Chimney Xpert offers a chimney sweep and inspection starting at $99 for homeowners in Cottonwood and the surrounding Dallas area. Every visit includes a full sweep of the flue along with a check of the firebox, damper, cap, and crown. We look for the buildup, cracks, or blockages that can lead to poor draft, smoke in the house, or worse. If we find anything beyond a standard sweep, like a damaged flue liner or a crown that needs sealing, we explain the issue and give you a price before any extra work starts. No surprise charges, no pressure.
How do I book a chimney sweep in Cottonwood?
Booking is simple and done online. You pick a day that works for you and choose a 3-hour arrival window, so you are not stuck waiting around all day. Our office calls or texts to confirm the appointment, and on the day of the visit, your technician calls about 30 minutes ahead so you know exactly when to expect us. It is a straightforward process built around your schedule, not ours.
How do I know my chimney needs attention?
- You smell smoke or a musty odor when the damper is open
- There is visible soot or dark staining around the firebox opening
- The damper feels stiff, sticks, or will not close all the way
- You see white staining on the outside brick, a sign of moisture getting into the masonry
- It has been a year or more since your last sweep and inspection
- You are buying or selling a home in Cottonwood and need a clear picture of chimney condition
Any one of these is a good reason to schedule a sweep before your next fire.
Why does chimney care matter for homes in Cottonwood?
Cottonwood sits in North Texas, where winters bring short cold snaps between long stretches of mild, humid weather. That pattern is tough on chimneys. Moisture gets into brick and mortar during wet months, then freeze and thaw cycles in winter can widen small cracks in the crown or flashing. A yearly sweep and inspection catches that damage early, before it turns into a costly repair or a safety issue once the fireplace gets regular use in the colder months.

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
