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
Chimney repair in Hurst comes down to a few stubborn facts: 1960s to 1980s ranch and split-level homes with original masonry fireplaces, single-wythe brick chimneys, clay tile liners, and crowns that have been baking in North Texas heat for decades. Add expansive clay soil that shifts a chimney footing and occasional hard freezes that crack masonry, and you get the steady mix of cap, crown, flashing, and liner problems we see across 76053 and 76054. We tell you exactly what we find and what it means, then fix it with professional-trade materials. Call (866) 942-6157 for a free estimate.
Why Hurst Homes Are Different
Hurst sits in the middle of what we think of as ice storm and fireplace country. Most homes here have wood-burning masonry fireplaces that get used hard during a handful of freezes and ice events, then sit idle for months through the long cooling season. That cycle does two things: creosote hardens into a glaze that’s stubborn to sweep, and uncapped flues become bird and wasp nests before the first warm weekend test fire.
The mid-century housing stock matters just as much. Single-wythe brick chimneys with clay tile liners and factory crowns crack and spall from heat cycling, and original dampers seize. Hurst’s expansive clay soils move the chimney footing, which shows up as flashing gaps and hairline cracks at the roofline. When limbs come down in a February ice storm, the calls that follow are usually cracked crowns and loose caps. Because these are traditional wood flues, not gas inserts, the work is real sweeping and structural repair rather than a quick visual check.

Our Main Hurst Services
Two jobs bring most Hurst homeowners to us: an annual sweep and some form of chimney repair. Both are handled by the same trained technician.
Chimney Sweep in Hurst
In Hurst, a sweep means more than running a brush up a flue that sat unused since last winter. Hardened creosote from a short, hot burn season needs real mechanical removal, and we check the firebox, damper, smoke chamber, cap, and crown while we’re there. Camera inspection and a photo report are included, so you see what we see instead of taking our word for it. If you want the detail on what a visit covers, see Chimney Sweep in Hurst.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Hurst
Dryer vents are the venting problem most chimney companies skip, and in older Hurst homes they’re often the worst offender: long runs, crushed foil duct, and lint packed against the exterior flap. We clean to NFPA fire-safety standards and show you the before-and-after on camera. It’s a lint and airflow job, not a chimney job, and it belongs in the same maintenance conversation. The full process is on our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Hurst page.
Chimney Repair in Hurst
The repair work in Hurst is driven by two things: masonry that’s been heat cycling since the postwar boom, and a chimney footing sitting on expansive clay that moves with every wet and dry spell. Decades-old factory crowns crack, original dampers seize, and clay tile liners crack or spall – which is where real chimney repair begins. Our technicians have up to 12 years of experience, and we work in professional-trade materials like HeatShield and DuraFlex rather than hardware-store substitutes, so a fix holds instead of patching over the cause.
Chimney Crown Repair
Signs you need it
Hairline cracks, a chunk missing at the edge, or water staining on the chimney breast after a hard rain all point to a crown that’s no longer shedding water.
What it costs in Hurst
Crown repair typically runs $350 – $700 in Hurst, with a full rebuild at the higher end and the written estimate setting the final price.
How we do it
We remove the failed crown material, reset the bond break at the flue, and pour a new crown with the correct overhang and slope so water leaves the chimney instead of soaking into it.
Chimney Cap Installation
Signs you need it
An open flue top, birds or wasps in the firebox each spring, or water dripping down the damper after a storm means the chimney is uncapped.
What it costs in Hurst
Cap installation is typically $250 – $550 in Hurst, depending on the flue size and whether a custom cap is needed.
How we do it
We measure the flue, set a stainless cap with the right mesh and clearance, and fasten it so wind and falling pecan limbs can’t knock it loose.
Chimney Liner Installation
Signs you need it
Cracked or missing clay tiles, a spalling flue, or a chimney with no liner at all – which is common in older Hurst stock – means the flue can’t safely contain heat and gases.
What it costs in Hurst
Liner installation typically runs $2,200 – $4,800 in Hurst, and that’s a structural fix rather than a band-aid.
How we do it
We inspect the flue by camera, size a DuraFlex stainless liner to the appliance, insulate and install it, then confirm the connection and draft before we leave.
What Chimney Repair Costs in Hurst
| Item | Typical range in Hurst |
|---|---|
| Chimney cap installation | $250 – $550 |
| Chimney crown repair | $350 – $700 |
| Chimney liner installation | $2,200 – $4,800 |
Do I really need a new liner in my Hurst home?
Only if we can show you the evidence. Cracked tiles, gaps at the joints, or a flue with no liner are camera-visible problems, and we send the photo report before recommending anything. If the liner is sound, we say so and stop.
Can chimney repair wait until after the burn season?
Sometimes, yes. A worn cap or a hairline crown crack can usually wait a few weeks, while a cracked liner or a flue with no liner cannot. We tell you which category you’re in plainly, and nothing gets recommended without camera evidence you can see for yourself. Call (866) 942-6157 for an exact quote – estimates are free.
Brands We Service in Hurst
Repair and installation work here uses professional-trade brands – DuraFlex for stainless liners, HeatShield for flue resurfacing, and Gelco and Copperfield for caps and related components. We don’t claim to stock parts locally; materials are specified per job and turnaround depends on what the estimate calls for. You can see the full material list on our brands page.

What Hurst Customers Say
"Crown was cracked and taking water. Repaired it rather than quoting a rebuild, which the previous company had pushed hard for."
- Riya Reddy"Level two inspection before we bought the house. The report was detailed enough to use as a negotiating point and he explained every photo in it."
- Emily Walsh"Good work. The written inspection report took about a week to arrive after I asked for it, which was slower than I expected."
