Need a Chimney Sweep in Lancaster, TX?
The Chimney Xpert works on chimneys throughout the Dallas area, and Lancaster homeowners are just 13 miles from downtown Dallas along our regular route. Over the last 24 months we have completed 10 chimney jobs in Lancaster, including 8 sweeps, 3 inspections, 3 flashing repairs, 2 cap replacements, 2 leak fixes, and 1 animal removal. If your chimney has not been swept in a year or more, or you noticed smoke smell, water stains, or a chirping bird sound in the flue, it is time to get it checked.
What Does a $99 Chimney Sweep and Inspection Include?
- Sweep of the flue to remove soot and creosote buildup
- Check of the firebox for cracks or damaged brick
- Check of the damper to confirm it opens, closes, and seals properly
- Check of the cap and crown for gaps, rust, or wear that let in water or animals
- Straightforward explanation of any needed repairs, with pricing given before any extra work starts
Sweeps make up the bulk of our Lancaster visits, but we also handle flashing, caps, and leak repairs when the inspection turns something up. Nothing extra happens without your OK first.
How Does Booking Work?
Booking is done online. Pick a day that works for your schedule and a 3-hour arrival window. Our office will call or text to confirm the appointment, and the technician calls about 30 minutes before arriving so you are not stuck waiting around all day. It is the same simple process whether you are due for a routine sweep or you need a leak or cap issue looked at.
What Chimney Problems Show Up Most in Lancaster Homes?
North Texas weather is hard on chimneys. Summer heat dries out mortar and flashing seals, then spring and fall storms push water through any small gap in the crown or flashing, which is why flashing repairs and leak calls are common jobs here. Cold snaps in winter mean more fireplace use in a short stretch of time, which builds up creosote fast. Damaged or missing caps also let in birds and small animals looking for shelter, another repair we regularly handle in the area. A yearly sweep and inspection catches these issues before they turn into bigger repairs.

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
