Why Burnet Homes
Need a Chimney Sweep
This is one of the towns we reach fastest from the shop, so fireplaces here get looked at before the season rather than after the first smoky evening. The housing runs old in the centre and newer on the edges, and the two want completely different things from a sweep.
The older streets have real masonry with flues that predate the current owner, where the camera matters more than the brush. The newer builds have factory units that are decorative most of the year, where the finding is usually a cap without a screen or debris still sitting on the smoke shelf.
In Burnet that shows up across established residential neighborhoods and ranch-style and larger properties alike.
Our Burnet
Chimney Sweep Process
Every visit starts with the free inspection. You see the photographs before you see a price, and the price is written down before anything is touched.
Dust control first
Sheets over the hearth, a sealed vacuum at the opening. The room is the same when we leave as when we arrived.
The sweep itself
Rotary brushes sized to the flue, worked from the firebox and from the top where the roof allows it, until the liner is clear.
Firebox and smoke shelf
Soot and debris cleared out of the firebox and off the shelf, where most of what falls actually lands.
The safety check
Damper operation, visible cracks in the tiles, the state of the cap and the crown, and whether the flue is drawing.
Photographs and a written price
A clean-liner photograph for your records, and a written quote for anything that needs doing. Nothing is started before you read it.
The cap and the crown from the roof
Where the roof is safe to walk we photograph the cap, the crown and the flashing from above. A cracked crown lets water into the masonry and costs far more later than it does now.

What We Find in
Burnet Homes
Six things the crew photographs most often on Burnet inspections. If one of them sounds like your house, the inspection is free and the fix is priced in writing.
Lint Packed in the Dryer Vent
Clothes take two cycles, the top of the dryer runs hot and the outside flap barely opens. That run gets cleared from the dryer to the cap.
Thin or Uneven Attic Insulation
Bare spots, settled blown-in and unsealed can lights are the reason upstairs rooms never cool. We measure the depth on every attic visit.
Dust That Comes Back a Week After Cleaning
Grey fuzz on the registers and the furniture again. The supply lines and the return plenum are holding what the filter never caught.
Disconnected or Crushed Attic Ducts
A supply line blowing into the attic or a flattened flex run behind the water heater. Found on the inspection, sealed or replaced on the spot.
Odors From the Vents at Start-Up
A musty or stale smell for the first minute of a cycle usually lives on the coil or in the return, not in the room. We photograph it.
A Return Pulling Air From the Attic
An unsealed return plenum draws hot attic air and everything in it straight past the filter. Sealing it is usually cheaper than cleaning the system twice a year.

in Burnet
Things Burnet homeowners ask about that have nothing to do with the work itself, and everything to do with selling, insuring or getting an association form approved.
Selling a house in Burnet County
The TREC inspection report lists the fireplace, the flue and the dryer exhaust separately. On older homes around the square the flue is the line that most often comes back with a note, so a sweep with photos before listing is the cheap move.
Wood-burning fireplaces that get real use
Plenty of Burnet houses still heat partly with wood. Burning a few cords a winter builds creosote fast, and that is the one case where an annual sweep is not a formality. We measure the buildup and show you the number before quoting.
Propane instead of natural gas
Outside the city mains most fireplaces and some furnaces run on propane from a yard tank. The flue, the screen, the burner and the pilot still need a yearly look, and the propane supplier does not do that part.
New equipment on old ductwork
If the system was replaced in the last few years, ask what happened to the return plenum. Ours is a free inspection with photos, and on these houses the photo of the plenum usually ends the conversation.

Chimney Sweep in Burnet
Questions
How often should a chimney be swept?
Once a year for a flue that gets used, and before the first fire of the season rather than after it. If the fireplace is decorative and only burns a few times a winter, an inspection every year and a sweep when the photographs call for it is the honest answer.
Do you inspect before you sweep?
Always, and the inspection is free. If the flue does not need sweeping we say so and you pay nothing. That happens more often than you would think on gas logs.
Can a dirty chimney actually be dangerous?
Yes. Creosote is what burns in a chimney fire, and a blocked or capless flue pushes combustion products back into the room. That is why the camera goes up before the brush does.
Do you do gas fireplaces as well as wood?
Yes. Gas logs still need the flue, the damper and the burner checked, and the glass and the logs cleaned. The findings are different from a wood burner and we photograph both.
Do I need to be home for the sweep?
Somebody needs to let us in and it helps if it is the person who uses the fireplace, because the questions we ask are about how it behaves. The photographs go to you either way.
Do you serve all of Burnet?
Yes, the whole town and the country around it. Burnet is 13 miles north of the office on US-281, about 20 minutes, and it is the town we can reach fastest after Marble Falls itself. Same-day appointments are normal here, and if a part is needed we can come back the same afternoon instead of scheduling a second trip. It is also the road we take to Bertram, Liberty Hill and Georgetown, so a Burnet job often opens the day.
Can you do this on the same visit as the ducts?
Yes, and most people do. The same crew handles ducts, dryer vents, chimneys and attic insulation, so it is one trip to Burnet and one written quote.
