Looking for chimney cleaning in Houston, TX? Clear Path Chimneys serves Houston and the surrounding Harris County area. Houston's humidity and mostly gas appliances mean the common calls here are rusted caps, moisture, and animal entry — not heavy creosote. Every visit starts with a free inspection and an upfront price on site — no service call fee, and you only pay if you book.

Which fix fits your situation?

If you use it regularly, an annual sweep is enough — same-day and low-cost.

If it has been years or you just bought the home, add a Level 2 inspection; the trade-off is a little more now versus burning on an unknown flue.

If you only want a price, we give it on site after the free inspection, no obligation.

Not sure? Text a photo and a local Houston tech will tell you before any truck rolls.

What we handle

An annual sweep matters when you burn regularly; a Level 2 inspection matters when the home is newly bought or the flue history is unknown.

Serving Houston and nearby

We cover Houston neighborhoods including Sheldon, Channelview, North Shore, Summerwood, Atascocita, throughout Harris County, near Sheldon Lake State Park.

What homeowners say

— Dana M., New Haven, CT
“Our cap blew off in a storm and they were out the next morning. Clean, on time, and a good bit cheaper than the first quote I got. They left zero mess.”
— Robert P., Minneapolis, MN
“I'd been putting the chimney off for two winters. One free inspection and I finally knew what I was actually dealing with. Booked it before they left.”
