Why Cedar Park Homes
Need a Chimney Sweep
In newer subdivisions the fireplace is usually a factory-built unit rather than masonry, and it is decorative for most of the year. The failure mode is different: not creosote so much as a cap that arrived without a screen, a damper that has never been operated, and construction debris still sitting on the smoke shelf.
Builders also finish a lot of houses quickly. We open the firebox on new builds and find drywall dust and offcuts more often than soot, which is worth clearing before the first fire rather than smelling it afterwards.
In Cedar Park that shows up across buttercup Creek and Twin Creeks and ranch at Brushy Creek and Avery Ranch alike.
Our Cedar Park
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.
Draft test before we leave
A smoke check at the opening with the damper set as you use it. A flue that will not draw is a different problem from a flue that is dirty, and the fix is different too.
The hearth and the surround
Soot marks above the opening, a scorched mantel or a cracked hearth tile all say something about how the fireplace is behaving. We note them and photograph them.
We look before we sweep
Camera and light up the flue, a look at the damper, the smoke shelf and the firebox. You see the photographs before anyone opens a bag.
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.

Cedar Park Team
Ready to book in Cedar Park? +1 (737) 299 19 19 or book the free inspection.
Air Duct Busters is a family-run crew working out of Marble Falls since 2018, with a second base in Bertram. We have been inside 22 homes and businesses in Cedar Park itself, and more than 870 across Central Texas since we started. The owner, Gary Abdullaev, is a CSIA certified chimney sweep and an HVAC technician, and he is on the trucks, not just on the paperwork.
We come in on RM 1431, which runs straight from Marble Falls through Jonestown into Cedar Park and meets US-183 by the Lakeline area: about 38 miles, 45 to 50 minutes. Every Cedar Park visit starts the same way: we open the system, photograph what is actually in it and hand you a written price per line before anything is touched. If the honest answer is that it does not need cleaning, you get that in writing and pay nothing.

What We Find in
Cedar Park Homes
Six things the crew photographs most often on Cedar Park inspections. If one of them sounds like your house, the inspection is free and the fix is priced in writing.
Unsealed Can Lights and Ceiling Penetrations
Every unsealed fixture is a hole between the house and the attic. We seal them while the insulation is open rather than blowing over the top of them.
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.
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.
Construction Dust Left in New Ductwork
Drywall dust and sawdust from the build stay in the plenum and the boots long after handover. A first clean on a new house is usually the dirtiest one it will ever have.

in Cedar Park
Things Cedar Park 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 in Cedar Park
The TREC inspection form includes the fireplace, chimney and dryer vent. Buyers in this price range almost always ask for the sweep report; having it in the listing packet removes the question.
HOA approvals
Buttercup Creek, Twin Creeks and Avery Ranch require approval for exterior changes. A replacement vent cap or chimney cap in the matching finish goes through without trouble; we supply the product sheet.
Two-system houses
If you have separate upstairs and downstairs systems, both get inspected on the same visit and the quote is per system. Most two-story Cedar Park homes need the upstairs coil cleaned more often than the downstairs one.
Insurance after a chimney fire
Texas carriers typically require a Level 2 inspection and a sweep certificate before reinstating fireplace coverage. Our owner is CSIA certified and provides both.
Getting to Cedar Park
From Marble Falls
We come in on RM 1431, which runs straight from Marble Falls through Jonestown into Cedar Park and meets US-183 by the Lakeline area: about 38 miles, 45 to 50 minutes. Cedar Park and Leander are scheduled together, so a morning slot in Cedar Park usually means the crew was already on that side of the county.

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 Cedar Park?
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 Cedar Park?
Yes, the whole town and the country around it. We come in on RM 1431, which runs straight from Marble Falls through Jonestown into Cedar Park and meets US-183 by the Lakeline area: about 38 miles, 45 to 50 minutes. Cedar Park and Leander are scheduled together, so a morning slot in Cedar Park usually means the crew was already on that side of the county.
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 Cedar Park and one written quote.
