Why Copperas Cove Homes
Need a Chimney Sweep
Housing here turns over with postings, which means the person about to light the fire is rarely the person who last burned in it. You do not know what is in that flue, and neither does the letting agent.
That is the whole reason to look before the first cold front. We camera the flue, photograph what is there and date the report, which is also the document a property manager wants on file between tenants.
In Copperas Cove that shows up across established neighbourhoods on the west side of Fort Cavazos and rental houses between tenants alike.
Our Copperas Cove
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.
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.
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.

What We Find in
Copperas Cove Homes
Six things the crew photographs most often on Copperas Cove inspections. If one of them sounds like your house, the inspection is free and the fix is priced in writing.
No Service Record Between Occupants
Several households, no record of a filter change and a flue somebody else burned in. We photograph what is actually there and date the report.
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.
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.
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.
Flex Duct Gone Brittle at the Joints
Old flex tears where it is banded and cannot be cleaned back into service. We photograph the tear and price the repair as its own line.
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.

in Copperas Cove
Things Copperas Cove 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.
Flex duct that has gone brittle
Old flex tears at the connections and cannot be cleaned back into service. We photograph the tear and price the repair separately from any cleaning.
Moving in or out on short notice
A PCS timeline does not wait. We work to move-out and move-in dates, leave a written report with photos, and put the visit in a window rather than a vague day.
Rental turnover between tenants
Managers want a dated service record for the vent and the flue. The written report with photos is issued on the day of the visit.
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
How much does a chimney sweep cost in Copperas Cove?
A chimney sweep in Copperas Cove starts at $165. That covers the sweep and the safety inspection of the flue, damper and firebox, with photographs before and after. Repairs, a new cap or crown work are quoted separately from the photographs.
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 you serve all of Copperas Cove?
Yes, the whole town and the country around it. Copperas Cove is fifty-three miles from the office by US 281 and US 190, a little over an hour. It is on the same run as Killeen and Harker Heights, so the three get planned together.
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 Copperas Cove and one written quote.
