Why Pflugerville 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 Pflugerville that shows up across master-planned communities off SH-130 and homes built in the 2000s and 2010s alike.
Our Pflugerville
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
Pflugerville Homes
Six things the crew photographs most often on Pflugerville 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.

BeforeAfterBeforeAfterLocal Rules and Paperwork
in Pflugerville
Things Pflugerville 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 Travis or Williamson County
Pflugerville addresses fall in both, and the TREC inspection report lists the fireplace, the flue and the dryer exhaust separately in either one. A written pre-listing report with photos is the cheap way to take all three off the table.
Builder warranty on a newer house
If the house is still inside its first year, take photos before anyone cleans anything. Disconnected flex and a crushed return are builder items, not maintenance, and a dated photo set is what gets them fixed for free.
Two-story plans with the air handler in the attic
The pan and the secondary drain line matter as much as the ducts up there. We photograph both on the inspection and tell you if the pan has been wet, even though it is not what you called about.
HOA approval in Blackhawk, Falcon Pointe and Avalon
New caps, roof jacks and vent hoods that show from the street go through architectural review. We give you the finish and a photo for the form.
Getting to Pflugerville
From Marble Falls
Pflugerville is the far end of our route, about 60 miles from the office. We take SH-29 east to Georgetown and come down I-35 to SH-45 and SH-130, or run RM 1431 through Cedar Park and Round Rock when the interstate is bad, and it is an hour and fifteen either way. That is why Pflugerville gets booked as a whole morning or a whole afternoon rather than squeezed between two other stops, and why we would rather do two or three houses in the same neighborhood on one trip.

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 Pflugerville?
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 Pflugerville?
Yes, the whole town and the country around it. Pflugerville is the far end of our route, about 60 miles from the office. We take SH-29 east to Georgetown and come down I-35 to SH-45 and SH-130, or run RM 1431 through Cedar Park and Round Rock when the interstate is bad, and it is an hour and fifteen either way. That is why Pflugerville gets booked as a whole morning or a whole afternoon rather than squeezed between two other stops, and why we would rather do two or three houses in the same neighborhood on one trip.
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 Pflugerville and one written quote.
