How much chimney work has The Chimney Xpert done in Waco?
In the last 24 months we have completed 16 chimney jobs in Waco, between March 2025 and November 2025. The work centered on sweeps, with 16 of them, alongside 3 inspections, 2 cap jobs, 1 damper job and 1 liner job. We also worked on a gas fireplace.
That is a steady record in this city, and it reflects what homeowners here ask for: a clean, safe flue first, then help with the parts that wear out. Caps, dampers and liners are exactly the pieces that turn up when someone takes a proper look.
Waco homeowners include families with older brick chimneys and those with newer gas fireplaces, and the mix of work shows it. Whatever type of fireplace you have, the first step is the same.
What does the $99 chimney sweep and inspection cover in Waco?
The visit starts at $99 and covers the whole path of the smoke:
- Flue: swept of soot and creosote.
- Firebox: checked for cracked brick and mortar wear.
- Damper: tested to open fully and seal.
- Cap and crown: inspected for rust, cracks and gaps.
If we find that a cap, damper or liner needs work, we explain it and price it before any extra work begins. You decide whether to go ahead.
Having caps, dampers and liners turn up in our local work is a reminder that the inspection is where the useful information comes from.
Why do caps, dampers and liners wear out in Central Texas?
Because the climate is hard on them. Hot summers heat metal parts repeatedly, humid air encourages rust, and storms hit caps with wind and hail. A cap that has lost its screen or shifted lets animals in, and a damper that has rusted will not close tight, which wastes heat and lets moisture down the flue.
A liner carries the heat and gases up and out, and it can crack over time, especially in older chimneys. A problem with one is often invisible from the living room, which is why a yearly inspection is worth the small cost.
Gas fireplaces are included too. They burn clean, yet their flues and caps still age in the same weather.
If you have a liner that is cracked or a damper that will not close, it is better to hear about it on a mild day than to find out when the fireplace fills with smoke.

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
