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 Westworth Village, TX
Chimney repair in Westworth Village usually comes down to age. Most of the housing here went up between the 1940s and 1960s, which means the clay tile flues behind those brick fireplaces have been through six or seven decades of North Texas freeze-thaw cycles, and many of them are cracked, spalling, or missing mortar at the joints. We work on exactly these chimneys: sweeping, relining, resurfacing, and structural repair, all with professional-trade materials from HeatShield and DuraFlex. One call covers the inspection, the cleaning, and the fix. Call (866) 942-6157 to book a sweep and get a written estimate before anything starts.
Why Westworth Village Homes Are Different
Westworth Village sits directly across the Trinity River from Fort Worth’s Naval Air Station JRB, and the post-WWII building boom that filled these streets left behind a specific kind of chimney. You’ll find single-story ranch and minimal traditional homes with original brick masonry fireplaces and 8×8 or 8×12 clay tile flues. Plenty of them have since been retrofitted with gas logs or inserts, but the original tiles are still in there, and after decades of North Texas weather those tiles often show spalling and joint deterioration.
The climate does the damage. Summers run humid and hit 100°F, winter brings ice storms, and the freeze-thaw swings in between crack clay flue tiles a little more each year. When a homeowner finally lights a fire after a long idle stretch, creosote can work its way into those cracks and seep into the chimney structure itself. We also see a lot of crushed or missing chimney caps after hail, and exterior chimneys where driving rain and summer heat have eaten away the brick mortar joints. That’s a repair profile you won’t find in newer suburban cities like Benbrook or White Settlement, where the flues are younger and the masonry hasn’t been through as many cycles.

Our Main Westworth Village Services
Two jobs come up most often when Westworth Village homeowners call us: getting an older flue properly cleaned before burning season, and dealing with the venting system that runs through the laundry room.
Chimney Sweep in Westworth Village
An older masonry fireplace needs a real sweep, not a quick brush at the firebox. In Westworth Village we’re usually working on clay tile flues that have collected creosote through years of intermittent burning, and on gas-log setups where the original tiles are still doing the venting. The job means clearing soot and creosote from the flue, checking the damper and firebox, and looking at the cap and crown while we’re up there. If the tiles are cracked or the mortar is failing, you’ll hear about it with photo evidence, not a sales pitch. Book a Chimney Sweep in Westworth Village before your first fire of the season.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Westworth Village
A clogged dryer vent is one of the leading causes of household fires, and most chimney companies won’t touch it. We do, because it’s the same trade: moving air safely out of the house. In these 1940s to 1960s homes, the dryer is often in a utility room or an interior closet with a long, bendy run to the outside, and lint builds up at every turn. We clear the full run and check that the exterior damper opens and closes properly. It pairs naturally with a sweep, since we’re already working on your venting. See Dryer Vent Cleaning in Westworth Village if the laundry is your main concern.
Chimney Repair in Westworth Village
Chimney repair in Westworth Village is mostly a conversation about clay tile. The original 8×8 and 8×12 flues in these post-WWII homes have taken decades of freeze-thaw cycling, and spalling tiles plus deteriorated joints are the norm rather than the exception. Add hail that crushes caps and heat that erodes exterior mortar, and a lot of these chimneys need structural attention before they’re safe to burn in again. That’s where our Chimney Repair work comes in: we inspect, show you the camera evidence, and fix what’s actually broken.
Chimney Liner Installation
Signs you need it
You’ll see cracked or missing flue tiles, creosote staining on the chimney exterior, or a fire that smokes and drafts poorly despite an open damper.
What it costs in Westworth Village
A DuraFlex stainless liner installation typically runs $2,400 to $4,800 in Westworth Village, depending on flue height and whether the old tiles need to come out first, and the written estimate sets the final price.
How we do it
We run a camera through the flue, size a DuraFlex liner to the appliance, insulate and drop it into place, then connect it at the top plate and the firebox with a proper cap on top.
Chimney Cap Replacement
Signs you need it
A hailstorm has crushed the cap, it’s missing entirely, or rust and loose fasteners let water and animals straight into the flue.
What it costs in Westworth Village
Cap replacement usually lands between $250 and $650 in Westworth Village, with stainless and custom-fit caps at the higher end, and the written estimate sets the final price.
How we do it
We pull the old cap and its fasteners, inspect the crown underneath for damage, then seat and secure a correctly sized cap with a screened spark arrestor.
What Chimney Repair Costs in Westworth Village
These are typical ranges for the repair work we see most in Westworth Village. Your written estimate is what actually sets the price.
| Item | Typical range in Westworth Village |
|---|---|
| DuraFlex liner installation | $2,400 – $4,800 |
| HeatShield flue resurfacing | $1,200 – $2,600 |
| Chimney cap replacement | $250 – $650 |
| Crown repair | $350 – $900 |
| Flashing repair | $300 – $750 |
Will a cracked flue tile in Westworth Village always mean a full liner?
No. Isolated cracks can sometimes be resurfaced with HeatShield instead of relined, which costs less. We run a camera first and only recommend the liner when the tile damage or joint separation is too widespread for resurfacing to hold.
Can chimney repairs wait until after burning season?
Some can. A worn cap or a hairline crown crack can safely wait a few months. Cracked flue tiles with creosote seeping into the structure should not, because the next fire sends heat and gases into places that aren’t designed for them.
Brands We Service in Westworth Village
Our repair and installation work uses professional-trade materials: DuraFlex for stainless liners, HeatShield for flue resurfacing, and Famco and Copperfield for caps and venting components. We don’t claim to stock every part locally, so turnaround depends on what your chimney needs, and we give you a clear timeline in the estimate. You can read more on our brands page.

In Westworth Village the biggest cost driver is flue condition: a hairline crack that can be resurfaced costs far less than a flue that needs a full liner, and exterior chimneys with eroded mortar joints sometimes need masonry work alongside the flue repair. Height and access matter too, since a tall exterior chimney takes longer to work on. We give you an upfront price in writing before any work starts, and nothing gets added without your approval.

What Westworth Village Customers Say
"Creosote buildup was worse than I realized. He measured it, showed me the glazing on the flue with the camera, and was honest that we were closer to a chimney fire than I wanted to hear."
- Jennifer Lawson"Crown was cracked and taking water. Repaired it rather than quoting a rebuild, which the previous company had pushed hard for."
- Riya Reddy"Fireplace had never drawn properly since we moved in. He found the damper was only opening halfway due to a bent linkage and fixed it in ten minutes."
- Oscar Morales
