Chimney sweep logs do not sweep chimneys. They loosen some creosote - which then falls where a brush and vacuum still have to collect it.
Chimney Company in Webster, TX
We’re the Webster chimney company that puts the price in writing before any work starts. Most chimney sweeps in Webster run between $189 and $329, and a standard inspection with camera runs $189 to $389, depending on what the home needs. Webster’s mix of 1960s brick ranches and newer Clear Lake-area construction means no two fireplaces behave the same, especially with Galveston Bay humidity working on the masonry year-round. Call (903) 961-6496 and you’ll talk to a live person who can walk you through what to expect.
Why Webster Homes Are Different
Webster grew fast after the 1960s, and that boom left us a landscape of single-story brick ranch homes. Most still have their original masonry fireplaces, and a lot of them were built before modern stainless steel chimney liners became standard in the 1990s. That’s not a flaw, it’s just the reality of the housing stock here. A clay tile liner from 1972 has been breathing salty, humid air for 50 years, and that air comes straight off Galveston Bay.
Salt-laden air corrodes metal dampers and caps faster in Webster than it does twenty miles inland. Moisture intrusion shows up as efflorescence (the white, chalky mineral staining on brick) and spalling (the face of the brick flaking off). In the Brookforest and Clear Lake subdivisions, we routinely find rusted dampers and hairline cracks in flue tiles on homes built within the last 20 years. The damage isn’t from neglect, it’s from climate. Homeowners usually notice it the same way: the first cold front of fall, a fire that won’t draw, and a damp, smoky smell backing into the living room.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Webster Services
Webster homeowners call us most about two things: getting a fireplace cleaned properly before burning season, and figuring out whether a chimney is safe to use at all. Here’s what each service looks like in Webster specifically.
Chimney Sweep in Webster
A proper sweep in Webster means more than running a brush up the flue. We remove the creosote, sure, but we also check the damper for salt-air rust, clear any blockages from storm-driven debris, and let you know if the flue tiles show moisture damage. Webster’s heat and humidity mean fireplaces sit unused for months, then get asked to perform on the first chilly weekend of October. That pattern lets creosote harden and hang onto the flue walls. A sweep before that first fire is the cheapest insurance against a chimney fire. Full details are on our Chimney Sweep in Webster page.
Chimney Inspection in Webster
In Webster, an inspection usually starts with a homeowner buying a house or realizing they haven’t had anyone look at the chimney in years. We use a camera to see what’s actually inside the flue, because in a climate like this, rusted dampers and cracked tiles hide in places a flashlight can’t reach. If the home was built before 1990, there’s a real chance the chimney has no modern liner at all. A Level 2 inspection covers the full flue interior, the damper, the cap, and the accessible masonry. The detail is on our Chimney Inspection in Webster page.
Fireplace Repair in Webster
Fireplace repair in Webster is often a rust story. Dampers seize from salt air. Fireboxes show heat fractures. Flue tiles crack from moisture expansion. The fireplace repair work we do here ranges from a $75 damper reset to a full flue liner replacement at $3,500 to $6,500, depending on what the camera shows. You’ll never get a recommendation from us without seeing the camera evidence yourself. Line-item detail and what a repair typically involves is on our Fireplace Repair in Webster page.

What Webster Customers Say
"The amount of creosote they pulled out was scary. He said we were overdue and explained the fire risk without being dramatic about it. Clean, careful, left the hearth spotless."
- Caroline Webb"The damper was rusted shut and we couldn't use the fireplace. He freed it up, swept everything, and now we actually use the thing. Priced it before he started."
- Georgia Lemmon"Sweep was done well and the price was fair. I did have to call twice to get the inspection report emailed over, but once I reached them they sent it right away. Fireplace is working great."
