Why Harker Heights 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 Harker Heights that shows up across established residential streets off Knights Way and homes backing onto the hills and greenbelt alike.
Our Harker Heights
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
Harker Heights Homes
Six things the crew photographs most often on Harker Heights inspections. If one of them sounds like your house, the inspection is free and the fix is priced in writing.
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.
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.

in Harker Heights
Things Harker Heights 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.
Houses with two systems
Two systems, two histories. We quote them separately and say plainly when one of them needs nothing.
Real fireplaces rather than decorative ones
A flue that gets used every winter carries a creosote load that a decorative one never does. We measure it and photograph it before the first cold front.
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.
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
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.
How much does a chimney sweep cost in Harker Heights?
A chimney sweep in Harker Heights 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 serve all of Harker Heights?
Yes, the whole town and the country around it. Harker Heights is seventy miles from the office by US 281 and US 190, roughly an hour and a half. We plan it together with Killeen and Copperas Cove, so ask for the day we are already coming up.
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 Harker Heights and one written quote.
