Why Georgetown 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 Georgetown that shows up across master-planned communities and 55+ active adult neighborhoods alike.
Our Georgetown
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.
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.
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.

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 35 homes and businesses in Georgetown 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.
From the office on US-281 in Marble Falls we run north to Burnet and take SH-29 east through Bertram and Liberty Hill straight into Georgetown, about 45 miles and 55 minutes when SH-29 is clear. Every Georgetown 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
Georgetown Homes
Six things the crew photographs most often on Georgetown 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.
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.

in Georgetown
Things Georgetown 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 Williamson County
The standard TREC inspection report has separate lines for the fireplace, the flue and the dryer exhaust. A sweep with a written report and photos before you list costs less than the credit a buyer asks for after their inspector writes it up.
Sun City and other HOA neighborhoods
A new chimney cap, a roof jack or anything else visible from the street normally needs architectural approval before it goes on. We give you the make, the finish and a photo to attach to the form.
Gas logs that sit unused most of the year
In a house where the fireplace is lit ten evenings a winter the problem is rarely creosote. It is a blocked flue, a screen full of nesting material and a pilot assembly nobody has cleaned. That is an inspection, not a sweep, and it is priced differently.
Cedar fever, late December through February
Williamson County sits in the middle of the cedar belt. No duct cleaning filters pollen out of the outside air, but a sealed return and a clean coil stop the system from pushing around what it already pulled in.
Getting to Georgetown
From Marble Falls
From the office on US-281 in Marble Falls we run north to Burnet and take SH-29 east through Bertram and Liberty Hill straight into Georgetown, about 45 miles and 55 minutes when SH-29 is clear. It is the same road we use for Bertram and Liberty Hill work, so Georgetown visits get stacked with one of those, and a crew that is already east of Burnet in the morning is at your door well before noon.

Chimney Sweep in Georgetown
Questions
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.
How long does a chimney sweep take in Georgetown?
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.
Do you serve all of Georgetown?
Yes, the whole town and the country around it. From the office on US-281 in Marble Falls we run north to Burnet and take SH-29 east through Bertram and Liberty Hill straight into Georgetown, about 45 miles and 55 minutes when SH-29 is clear. It is the same road we use for Bertram and Liberty Hill work, so Georgetown visits get stacked with one of those, and a crew that is already east of Burnet in the morning is at your door well before noon.
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 Georgetown and one written quote.
