Need a chimney sweep in Hilshire Village?
The Chimney Xpert serves Hilshire Village as part of our regular Houston area coverage, just 7 miles from downtown. Whether your fireplace sat unused all summer or you smell something off when the AC kicks on, a professional sweep and inspection is the right first step. Every visit starts at $99 and covers the full picture of your chimney's health, not just a quick brush and go.
What does the $99 chimney sweep and inspection include?
- Full sweep to clear soot, creosote, and debris from the flue
- Inspection of the firebox for cracks, gaps, or worn mortar
- Damper check to confirm it opens, closes, and seals properly
- Cap and crown inspection for cracks, rust, or water entry points
- Flue liner check for damage or blockages from nests and debris
If we find anything that needs more than a standard sweep, we explain what it is and what it costs before any additional work starts. No surprise charges, no pressure.
Why does Houston area weather stress chimneys like this?
Hilshire Village homes deal with a tough combination: long stretches of high humidity, heavy spring pollen and pollen residue, sudden downpours, and the occasional hard freeze in winter. That mix of moisture and temperature swings is exactly what damages chimney crowns, corrodes metal caps, and lets water seep into brick and mortar joints. Birds and squirrels also look for dry, sheltered spots in flues during storm season, which can block airflow you won't notice until you light a fire.
A yearly sweep and inspection catches these issues early, before they turn into water damage inside the home or a chimney fire risk from built-up creosote.

How often should a chimney be swept?
Most homes in the Houston area benefit from an annual sweep and inspection, especially given the humidity, pollen, and occasional freezes that can affect brick, mortar, and metal chimney components.
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
