Need a chimney sweep in Southside Place?
The Chimney Xpert serves Southside Place as part of our regular Houston area coverage. A chimney sweep and inspection starts at $99, and booking is simple. Pick a day online, choose a 3-hour arrival window, and our office will call or text to confirm. The technician calls about 30 minutes before arrival so you can plan your day around the visit instead of waiting around all morning.
What does the $99 visit include?
- A full sweep to clear soot and creosote buildup from the flue
- A check of the firebox for cracks, spalling, or loose mortar
- A check of the damper to confirm it opens, closes, and seals properly
- A visual check of the cap and crown for damage, gaps, or wear
- A clear explanation of any findings, with any extra work explained and priced before it starts
Why do Southside Place chimneys need regular attention?
Houston's humidity is hard on masonry and metal. Moist air speeds up rust on dampers and caps, and it can soften mortar joints over the years. Long stretches without a fire let creosote sit in the flue, and sudden cool snaps often bring a rush of first fires of the season, which is exactly when a stuck damper or blocked flue becomes a problem. Southside Place's mature tree canopy also means leaves, pollen, and the occasional bird or squirrel nest can end up in an uncapped or poorly capped chimney. A yearly sweep and inspection catches these issues before they turn into bigger repairs or a safety concern.
How do I book a visit?
Booking is done online. Choose a day that works for you and a 3-hour arrival window. Our office follows up by call or text to confirm the appointment, and the technician calls roughly 30 minutes ahead so you know exactly when to expect them. If the inspection turns up anything beyond the standard sweep, you will hear the cost and scope before any additional work begins.

Frequently asked questions
How often should a chimney be swept?
Most homeowners who use their fireplace regularly should have it swept and inspected once a year. Chimneys used less often can still build up creosote or attract nesting debris, so an annual check is still a good idea.
What are signs my chimney needs a sweep?
Look for a smoky smell even when the fireplace is not in use, visible soot buildup, slow or poor draft, or smoke backing up into the room when you start a fire. Any of these point to a flue that needs attention.
Will I be told about extra repairs before they are done?
Yes. If the inspection finds an issue like a damaged crown, cracked firebox, or damper problem, we explain what we found and provide pricing before any additional work starts.
How does scheduling work?
You book online and pick a day along with a 3-hour arrival window. Our office confirms by call or text, and the technician calls about 30 minutes before showing up.
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
