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 Hurst, TX
Flint Chimney Co Fort Worth provides chimney cleaning, inspection, and repair across Hurst, TX, with written pricing before any work starts and a one-year guarantee on every repair. Most Hurst homes were built between 1950 and 1980 with original masonry chimneys that have now survived 40 to 70 years of North Texas clay soil movement and freeze-thaw cycles. That combination creates a specific set of problems: cracked flue tiles, failing mortar joints, and hidden damage from past foundation work. Call (682) 255-2144 for a free estimate.
Why Hurst Homes Are Different
Hurst’s housing stock is predominantly mid-century ranch and traditional two-story brick, built when wood-burning fireplaces were standard in nearly every home. Those original brick and stone chimneys were often constructed with clay tile flue liners, and many have never been updated. Add to that Hurst’s expansive clay soil, which swells when wet and shrinks during dry spells, and you get subtle foundation movement that stresses chimney structures from the base up. The slight shift may be invisible from the ground, but it opens hairline cracks in flue tiles and mortar joints over time.
Then there’s the weather. Hurst summers run hot and humid, and winter occasionally brings ice storms. Each season of thermal expansion and contraction works those small cracks wider. In older neighborhoods like Bellaire Park and Mayfair, we regularly find chimneys sharing a common wall with the garage, and that shared wall hides cracks from past foundation repairs that were never addressed. A chimney that looks fine from the curb can have flue damage that has been quietly accumulating for two decades. That’s why we recommend an annual inspection before the burning season, not just a sweep.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Hurst Services
Hurst homeowners most often call us for two things: a seasonal chimney sweep to clear creosote and debris, and an inspection when they suspect water intrusion or notice mortar crumbling. Here are the three core services we provide in Hurst.
Chimney Sweep in Hurst
Our Chimney Sweep in Hurst service removes the creosote and soot that build up inside the flue, along with any bird nests, leaves, or debris that have fallen in since the last burning season. In Hurst, mid-century fireplaces that have burned decades of wood often carry significant creosote deposits, which is what makes this more than a routine dusting job. We run a rotary brush system up the flue and vacuum the firebox and smoke shelf as we go. A clean flue means a fire that draws properly and a system that is safer to use.
Chimney Inspection in Hurst
Our Chimney Inspection in Hurst page covers what happens when we bring a camera up the flue to check for hidden cracks, gaps, or obstructions. Given Hurst’s clay soil and the foundation shifts that come with it, we look specifically at flue tile alignment and mortar joints. Most original flues from the 1960s and 1970s were built to a standard that simply does not hold up to that movement. If we find something, we’ll show you the footage and write up what needs to happen, with a price, before any repair work is scheduled.
Chimney Repair in Hurst
Our Chimney Repair in Hurst service includes flue relining, crown repair, mortar joint repointing, and full or partial rebuilds where the chimney has pulled away from the house. In Hurst we frequently install HeatShield or DuraFlex systems inside damaged clay tile flues, a repair that restores the flue to a safe condition without tearing down the whole chimney. Every repair we make comes with our written one-year guarantee, and if a covered repair fails, we return at no charge.

Brands We Service in Hurst
We work with professional-grade chimney products from brands including DuraFlex, HeatShield, Famco, and Copperfield. We specify materials by the job, not by margin, so the liner, cap, or damper we install is the right one for the chimney it is going into. For material details, see our brands page, or ask your technician what is going on your chimney and why.

What pushes a Hurst job toward the higher end of those ranges is usually access and condition. A steep roof pitch, a chimney shared with a garage wall, or a flue full of old creosote all add time.

FAQs About Chimney Company in Hurst
Most Hurst appointments are booked within three to five business days, depending on the season. Fall is the busy window, so call early if you want a sweep before the first cold snap. We typically set a firm arrival window and honor it.
Some Hurst HOAs require exterior work approvals before repairs begin, particularly for visible work above the roofline. We will flag this when we quote, and the written estimate can serve as documentation for an HOA submission if one is needed.
Yes. Hurst has a large volume of mid-century homes changing hands, and a Level 2 camera inspection before closing is the only way to know if an original chimney is in safe working condition. We provide the photo report the same day, so it can be included in the inspection contingency.
