Has The Chimney Xpert worked in Pflugerville?
Yes. In the last 24 months we have logged one chimney job in Pflugerville, completed on August 31, 2026. It was a wood fireplace, and the visit combined a chimney sweep, an inspection and an animal-related service. That is a small number, and we would rather say so plainly than dress it up. It was real work for a real homeowner, and it shows that a wood fireplace here can need more than a sweep.
A sweep and inspection from $99 is how a visit like that begins, and it is how we would start on yours.
We do not want to overstate the record. One job is one job, but it is enough to say we have been to Pflugerville, and that the homeowner got the same clear, priced-before-we-start approach you would.
Why do animals get into a wood fireplace chimney?
A chimney is the closest thing a house has to a tree hollow: dark, dry, sheltered and warm in the right season. Squirrels, raccoons and birds all take advantage, especially when the cap is missing, bent or has a screen that has rusted away. Once inside, they leave nesting material and droppings, and a nest can block the flue. Burning a fire under a nest is dangerous for the animal and for the house.
The best defense is a sound cap. If you hear scratching, chirping or see debris in the firebox, have the chimney looked at before you light a fire.
Whatever the cause, a blocked or damaged chimney is better dealt with before the burning season than after the first smoky evening. It is a short visit that can save a lot of trouble.
What does the chimney sweep and inspection cover?
- A chimney sweep to clear soot, creosote and debris
- A check of the flue for blockages and damage
- A look at the firebox
- A damper check for free movement and a tight seal
- A check of the cap and crown, where animals and rain get in
If the inspection turns up a problem that goes beyond the sweep, we explain it and give you the price before any extra work begins. The choice stays with you.
The $99 starting price covers the whole list, and if the chimney is clear and sound, that is where the visit ends. You leave with a clean flue and the knowledge that it is ready.
How do I book a chimney sweep in Pflugerville?
Book online by choosing a day and a three-hour arrival window. The office calls or texts to confirm, and the technician calls about 30 minutes before arriving.
Fall is the busy season for wood fireplaces, and homeowners who plan ahead get their pick of days. Central Texas humidity and storms mean that a chimney left alone all summer may have picked up something new, so a visit before the first fire is well worth it.

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
