Noah was professional, knowledgeable, and extremely thorough while working on both my air ducts and chimney. He took the time to explain everything and made sure the work was done properly from start to finish.

Three Things We Find in Hill Country Chimneys Every Week
Hot summers, hard freezes, cedar smoke and caps nobody has looked at in a decade. Every photo below was taken by our crew on a real job.

Creosote glaze in the flue
The shiny black layer on the flue walls is third-stage creosote: fuel stuck to the chimney. It is what chimney fires burn, and it does not show from the living room.

Caps that lost their screen
A cap without a screen is an open door for birds, squirrels and rain. Half the flues we open in the fall have a nest or a dead bird on the smoke shelf.

Cracked crowns and failed joints
Hill Country sun opens hairline cracks in the crown, the winter freezes turn them into spalled stone and loose mortar. Small repair now, rebuild later.
Real Results for
Hill Country Fireplaces
The problems homeowners called about, the work done, and the documented result, shown through real before-and-after photos from the flue, the firebox and the roof.

What homeowners shared about the chimney work completed, their experience with our crew, and the service they received. Reviews left for our crew under Air Duct Busters, the company World of Chimney grew out of. Every one is on Google.
We used Air Duct Busters for a chimney inspection and cleaning. Noah contacted us with his expected time of arrival. He was on time, pleasant, courteous and knowledgeable. He explained what he looks for in an inspection.

Wood and gas: annual gas fireplace service, firebox repair and fireplace installation, inserts included. Lit and tested before we leave.
Dryer vent cleaning of the full run from the dryer to the outside cap, with the roof termination cleared from the roof side. About 30 minutes; clothes dry in one cycle again.
Chimney flashing repair and roof vent and cap service: the roof-side half of every chimney and vent problem, photographed from up there so you never have to climb.
Every inspection comes with photos from inside the flue, the firebox and the roof, sent to your phone, so you see what we saw before you decide anything.
Per line and per task, in writing, before anything is touched. The number we quote is the number you pay. About one in five inspections ends with “you’re fine.”
Start With a Free
Professional Inspection
Four steps, and you can stop after any of them without owing a thing.
We call you back
Within the hour during business hours. We confirm a window that suits you, often the same or next day.
Free inspection at your home
A technician checks the firebox, runs a light or a camera up the flue and looks at the cap, crown and flashing from the roof. You can watch the whole time.
Written quote on the spot
Priced per line and per task, in writing, before anything is touched. Decide now or think it over.
Work done, home left clean
Most sweeps and services finish the same visit with the hearth sealed and a HEPA vacuum running. You get after-photos and pay when done.
Why the “$79 Chimney Sweep Special” Costs More Than We Do
Most homeowners call three companies. Here is what to ask each of them.
| Ask them | World of Chimney | Coupon sweep |
|---|---|---|
| Is the inspection free, and do I get photos? | Yes. Photos from inside the flue and from the roof, sent to your phone. | A “free estimate” that turns into upsells at the hearth. |
| Is the price in writing before you start? | Yes. Per line, per task, signed before work. | $79 covers a brush up the flue; the smoke shelf, damper and cap are “extra.” |
| Do you go on the roof? | Yes. Cap, crown and flashing are where the expensive damage starts. | Ground level only. |
| Who shows up? | Our own technicians, a local company insured in Texas. | Subcontractor crews from Austin or out of state. |
| Will you tell me if I don’t need it? | Yes. About one in five inspections ends with “you’re fine.” | The truck came out, so something will be sold. |

Questions Homeowners Ask Before They Book
How much does a chimney sweep cost?
It depends on the fireplace, the flue and what the inspection finds, which is exactly why we inspect first. You get a written per-line price before anything is touched, and the inspection itself is free.
Is the inspection really free, even if I don’t buy anything?
Yes. We check the firebox, look up the flue, photograph what we find and hand you a written quote. If it is clean, we say so. Roughly one in five inspections ends with no work sold.
How long does it take?
An inspection is under an hour. A sweep takes one to two hours, a gas fireplace service about an hour, a dryer vent cleaning about 30 minutes.
Do you service gas fireplaces?
Yes. Burner, pilot, logs, glass and venting, once a year, and we fix the ones that will not light.
Are you licensed and insured?
World of Chimney operates under Dream Franchise LLC, a Texas company with general liability insurance. Our technicians are employees, not subcontractors.
What happens after I send the form?
We call you back within the hour during business hours, Monday to Saturday 8 AM to 6 PM. Forms sent overnight get a call first thing in the morning.
