Why Leander 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 Leander that shows up across crystal Falls and Travisso and bryson, Mason Hills and Palmera Ridge alike.
Our Leander
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 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.
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.

Every Leander 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
Leander Homes
Six things the crew photographs most often on Leander inspections. If one of them sounds like your house, the inspection is free and the fix is priced in writing.
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.
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.

in Leander
Things Leander 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 form covers the fireplace, the chimney and the dryer vent. A sweep with a written report before listing saves a negotiation later.
HOA rules in Crystal Falls and Travisso
Anything visible from the street, including a new dryer vent cap or a chimney cap, usually needs a quick architectural approval. We match the existing finish and give you the spec sheet for the form.
Insurance after a chimney fire
Most carriers in Texas ask for a Level 2 inspection and a sweep certificate before they reinstate coverage on the fireplace. Our owner is a CSIA Certified Chimney Sweep and issues both.
Cedar fever season
Late December through February the pollen count around Leander is among the highest in the country. A sealed return and a clean coil make more difference to an allergy household than any filter upgrade.
Getting to Leander
From Marble Falls
From our office on US-281 in Marble Falls we take RM 1431 east through Lago Vista and Jonestown, then US-183 north into Leander, about 35 miles and 45 minutes on a normal day. That is why Leander slots are usually mid-morning: the first stop of the day near the office, then the drive. The same route covers Cedar Park, so we stack the two towns on the same day when the schedule allows.

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 Leander?
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 Leander?
A chimney sweep in Leander 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 Leander?
Yes, the whole town and the country around it. From our office on US-281 in Marble Falls we take RM 1431 east through Lago Vista and Jonestown, then US-183 north into Leander, about 35 miles and 45 minutes on a normal day. That is why Leander slots are usually mid-morning: the first stop of the day near the office, then the drive. The same route covers Cedar Park, so we stack the two towns on the same day when the schedule allows.
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 Leander and one written quote.
