Why Canyon Lake Homes
Need a Chimney Sweep
Lake houses burn differently from houses in town. The fireplace is decorative for most of the year, it gets used hard for a few weeks around the holidays, and the house sits closed in between. That pattern puts damp air and nesting material in a flue that nobody has looked at since the last cold front.
The flue cap is the other lake problem. Constant humidity next to the water corrodes caps and dampers faster than the book interval assumes, and a missing cap turns the flue into an open pipe for rain, leaves and birds. We photograph the cap and the crown from the roof before quoting anything.
In Canyon Lake that shows up across homes above the Canyon Lake shoreline and property owners association subdivisions alike.
Our Canyon Lake
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
Canyon Lake Homes
Six things the crew photographs most often on Canyon Lake inspections. If one of them sounds like your house, the inspection is free and the fix is priced in writing.
Rooms Added Without Their Own Supply
One end of the house never cools no matter what the thermostat says. No amount of cleaning fixes that, so we measure the runs and quote the duct work separately.
Creosote and Cracked Flue Tiles
A fireplace that smokes back or has not been swept in years. We sweep, inspect and photograph the flue before the first cold front.
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.
A Coil That Never Fully Dries
Near the water a system that runs in short bursts leaves the coil damp between cycles. That is where the smell starts, and it shows up in a photo before it shows up in the room.

in Canyon Lake
Things Canyon Lake 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.
Short-term rentals
Platforms, insurers and management companies all want a dated service record for the dryer vent and the fireplace. Our written report with photos is that record.
Property owners association review
Several subdivisions here review anything visible from the street or the water, including vent hoods and flue caps. We supply the finish and a photo for the submission.
Flues used by guests
If you did not burn what is in the flue, you do not know what is in it. We photograph the inside before the season rather than after an incident.
Selling the house
The inspection report a buyer orders has separate lines for the fireplace, the flue and the dryer exhaust, and the duct system gets looked at along with the equipment. A written report with photos before you list keeps all of that out of the negotiation.

Questions
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.
How long does a chimney sweep take in Canyon Lake?
A straightforward flue is about an hour on site. An inspection that turns up cracked tiles or a blocked cap takes longer, because we photograph everything before we quote it.
What if the inspection finds a repair?
You get the photographs and a written price for the repair, and nothing is started until you say so. A sweep and a repair are separate lines and separate decisions.
Do you serve all of Canyon Lake?
Yes, the whole town and the country around it. Canyon Lake is sixty-eight miles from the office by US 281 and FM 311, about an hour and a half. It is the southern edge of our route, so it is booked ahead rather than same 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 Canyon Lake and one written quote.
