in Round Rock, TX
Chimney sweep in Round Rock, 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 Round Rock 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 Round Rock that shows up across established residential neighborhoods and growing suburban developments alike.
Our Round Rock
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.

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

in Round Rock
Things Round Rock 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 TREC report lists the fireplace, the flue and the dryer exhaust separately, and buyers in Round Rock negotiate hard on all three. A written pre-listing report with photos settles it before the option period.
Two-story homes with the air handler in the attic
If the upstairs unit is in the attic, the pan and the secondary drain line matter as much as the ducts. We photograph both on the inspection and tell you if the pan is staining, even though that is not what you called us about.
Between tenants
Landlords and property managers can have the dryer vent, the ducts and the fireplace done in one visit and get a dated photo set for the file. It is the cheapest way to prove the condition a tenant moved into.
HOA approval in the newer neighborhoods
Behrens Ranch, Paloma Lake and Teravista all review anything visible from the street. We give you the spec sheet and a photo for the architectural form before we install a cap or a vent hood.
Getting to Round Rock
From Marble Falls
Round Rock is about 55 miles from the office. The crew takes SH-29 east to Georgetown and drops down I-35, or runs RM 1431 through Cedar Park when the interstate is backed up, and it is a bit over an hour either way. That is why Round Rock usually goes out as an afternoon appointment behind a Georgetown or Cedar Park stop, and why we would rather book two houses on your street the same day than make the drive twice.

Chimney Sweep in Round Rock
Questions
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 Round Rock?
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 Round Rock?
A chimney sweep in Round Rock 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 serve all of Round Rock?
Yes, the whole town and the country around it. Round Rock is about 55 miles from the office. The crew takes SH-29 east to Georgetown and drops down I-35, or runs RM 1431 through Cedar Park when the interstate is backed up, and it is a bit over an hour either way. That is why Round Rock usually goes out as an afternoon appointment behind a Georgetown or Cedar Park stop, and why we would rather book two houses on your street the same day than make the drive twice.
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 Round Rock and one written quote.
