Chimney sweep in Kingsland, TX with photographs of the flue before and after. The inspection is free, the sweep starts at $165, and anything the flue actually needs is quoted in writing from the pictures.
Why Kingsland 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 Kingsland that shows up across homes near Lake LBJ and waterfront and riverfront properties alike.
Our Kingsland
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.
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.
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.

What We Find in
Kingsland Homes
Six things the crew photographs most often on Kingsland inspections. If one of them sounds like your house, the inspection is free and the fix is priced in writing.
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.
Wasps and Birds in Hoods and Caps
A dryer hood with a stuck flap and an uncapped flue are the two most inviting openings on the house. We clear them and fit screens rather than clean the same nest twice.

in Kingsland
Things Kingsland 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.
Homes that sit empty part of the year
A house closed for a season comes back with still, damp air in the ducts and a vent that has been a wildlife entrance. If you open the house on a schedule, we can put the visit on the same schedule and have it done before you arrive.
Selling on the lake
Buyers here bring inspectors who look at the fireplace and the dryer exhaust along with everything else. A written report with photos ahead of listing keeps all of it out of the negotiation.
Additions on old cabins
If a room was added and never got its own supply, no amount of cleaning will fix the temperature in it. We say so plainly and price the duct work separately instead of selling a cleaning that will not help.
Wildlife in vents and flues
Screens on dryer hoods and caps on flues are the cheapest prevention we sell. On the lake they are also the most often missing.
Getting to Kingsland
From Marble Falls
Kingsland is about 20 miles west of the office, RM 1431 through Granite Shoals, roughly half an hour. We run that road for Granite Shoals, Buchanan Dam and Llano too, so Kingsland jobs get grouped with those, and it is close enough that returning with a part costs nobody a trip charge.

Questions
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 Kingsland?
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.
How much does a chimney sweep cost in Kingsland?
A chimney sweep in Kingsland 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.
Do you serve all of Kingsland?
Yes, the whole town and the country around it. Kingsland is about 20 miles west of the office, RM 1431 through Granite Shoals, roughly half an hour. We run that road for Granite Shoals, Buchanan Dam and Llano too, so Kingsland jobs get grouped with those, and it is close enough that returning with a part costs nobody a trip charge.
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 Kingsland and one written quote.
