in Marble Falls, TX
Chimney sweep in Marble Falls, 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 Marble Falls Homes
Need a Chimney Sweep
We see more fireplaces here than anywhere else on the route, because this is home ground and the work has been steady since 2018. That means the pattern is familiar: lake-side flues holding damp, in-town masonry that predates the current owner, and newer builds with decorative units.
Being minutes away changes the service as well. If the camera shows something worth a second look, we come back the same week rather than fitting you into a run that happens once a fortnight.
In Marble Falls that shows up across homes in town near Main Street and the Lake Marble Falls waterfront and meadowlakes and Cottonwood Shores alike.
Our Marble Falls
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.
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.
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.

What We Find in
Marble Falls Homes
Six things the crew photographs most often on Marble Falls 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.
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.
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.
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.

in Marble Falls
Things Marble Falls 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.
Same-day and next-morning slots
Being in town means we can usually fit an inspection into the same day. The inspection is free whether or not it turns into work.
Second homes closed part of the year
A house shut for months comes back with still air in the ducts and a vent something moved into. Tell us your opening week and we come before it.
Lake humidity versus town dust
The waterfront and the subdivisions off US 281 have different problems and they look the same from the register. We photograph the coil and the return before saying which it is.
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.

Chimney Sweep in Marble Falls
Questions
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 Marble Falls?
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.
Do you serve all of Marble Falls?
Yes, the whole town and the country around it. The office is at 116 US-281 in Marble Falls and the crews start their day here, so in-town jobs get the earliest windows and the shortest wait. If we need a part, it is on the shelf rather than an hour away.
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 Marble Falls and one written quote.
