Need a chimney sweep in Highlands, TX?
The Chimney Xpert serves Highlands as part of our Houston-area coverage. Whether you have a wood-burning fireplace, a gas insert, or a chimney that has sat unused for a while, our sweep and inspection gets it checked, cleaned, and ready to use safely. Sweeps and inspections start at $99, with any extra work explained and priced before we touch a thing.
What does the $99 chimney sweep and inspection include?
- Full sweep of the flue to clear soot and creosote buildup
- Inspection of the firebox for cracks or damaged mortar
- Check of the damper to confirm it opens, closes, and seals properly
- Look at the chimney cap and crown for gaps, rust, or water entry points
- Clear explanation of any findings, with pricing given before extra work starts
Why does Houston-area weather matter for your chimney?
Highlands sits close to the Gulf, so homes here deal with heavy humidity, sudden downpours, and long stretches between fireplace use. That moisture works against masonry and metal over time, softening mortar joints, rusting dampers, and letting small crown cracks turn into bigger leaks. A yearly sweep and inspection catches these issues early, before they turn into a chimney leak or a costly rebuild. Even homeowners who rarely light a fire benefit from a check, since the chimney is still exposed to rain and humidity year round.
How do you book a chimney sweep in Highlands?
Booking is simple. Pick a day and a 3-hour arrival window online, and our office will call or text to confirm the appointment. On the day of your visit, the technician calls about 30 minutes ahead so you know exactly when to expect them. No guessing, no waiting around all day.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a chimney sweep cost in Highlands, TX?
Our chimney sweep and inspection starts at $99. If we find additional issues, like a damaged crown or damper, we explain the problem and provide pricing before any extra work begins.
Do you inspect gas fireplaces and inserts, not just wood-burning chimneys?
Yes. Our sweep and inspection covers the flue, firebox, damper, cap, and crown regardless of whether you burn wood or have a gas appliance venting through the chimney.
How do I schedule an appointment?
Book online by choosing a day and a 3-hour arrival window. Our office will call or text to confirm, and the technician will call about 30 minutes before arriving.
My chimney hasn't been used in years. Should I still get it inspected?
Yes. Chimneys that sit unused are still exposed to Houston-area humidity and rain. A sweep and inspection checks for water damage, blockages, or wear that can build up even without regular use.
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.

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
