Rain first, everything else second
Houston humidity and rainfall find failed flashing and rusted chase covers quickly. A leak traced early is a flashing repair. Left alone it becomes framing damage, then interior damage.
Houston · Ten-County Metro
Across the ten-county Houston metro, from Katy to Kingwood, our team provides chimney sweep in Houston service. You always see photos of what we find before any repair is agreed. We handle chimney cleaning, cap and chase cover work, plus chimney repair after storm leaks.
What does the Level 1 part of $299 include?
Ads at $99 usually charge the inspection as a separate step later. In Houston, the $299 visit covers a standard single-flue cleaning plus a Level 1 inspection. After heavy Gulf rain, that inspection is where cap and flashing leaks show up early. Why $299, not $99 →
The Houston-Pasadena-The Woodlands metro spans ten counties and roughly 7.9 million people. It was the fastest-growing metro area in the United States between July 2024 and July 2025. It added about 127,000 residents. Much of that growth has gone into suburban counties, which means a large share of the region housing stock is recent.
That shapes the work. Where a chimney was built in the last twenty-five years, the failures are usually at the top and at the roofline: chase covers, caps and flashing. Where it is older masonry, closer to the city core, mortar and crowns come back into play. We inspect before we quote because the two need different answers.
The constant across the whole metro is water. Gulf Coast rainfall is heavy and persistent, and the majority of chimney complaints we handle in this region begin as a leak rather than a structural fault.

Fireplaces here run for a few cold months rather than half the year. Creosote still accumulates in that time, and an annual sweep before the season is the cheapest safety measure a fireplace owner has.
Hurricane Harvey in August 2017 flooded homes across large parts of the metro. If floodwater reached a firebox, the chimney should be inspected before it is used again, because damage to a liner or damper is not always visible from the room.
Master-planned communities are built in phases, so homes on one street often share the same chimney construction. A fault found on one roof is worth checking on the neighbors.
Each location page covers the full service inventory for that area, with local detail specific to it.

The city of Houston and the surrounding communities, including Katy, Sugar Land, Pearland, The Woodlands, Spring, Kingwood and Cypress.
The Level 1 inspection that comes with every sweep answers that. If the crown, cap, flashing or liner needs work, you get photos and a written quote before anything is done.
Before the first cool front if you burn wood, and after any storm that brings wind-driven rain, since that is when caps and flashing give way.
