Why Hearthstone Chimney Co. Is Brushy Creek’s Preferred Fireplace Services Company
We’ve been serving Central Texas homeowners for over 42 years, and the Brushy Creek area has been part of our route since the first subdivisions went in during the 1990s. We know the Heatilator and Superior prefab units that builders installed by the hundreds in the two-story brick homes off Great Oaks Drive and Paloma Lake. We’ve replaced refractory panels in the Fern Bluff area, swapped out corroded chase covers near Brushy Creek Lake Park, and cleared squirrel nests from flues along Wyoming Springs.
Our customers in Brushy Creek leave reviews that mention the same things: the technician showed up on time, explained what was wrong without talking down, and the bill matched the estimate. We don’t chase stars. We earn them the slow way.
Response time matters when your fireplace is smoking or your gas valve won’t shut. From our dispatch, we’re typically at Brushy Creek homes within 45 to 75 minutes during business hours. After hours, our on-call technician carries common parts for the factory-built systems that dominate this market, so most repairs finish in a single visit.
We document every inspection with photos you can see and a plain-English verdict you can understand. No hidden damage. No mystery charges. That’s the Keystone Standard we’ve operated under since 1984.
Our Fireplace Services in Brushy Creek
Gas Fireplace Service
Gas fireplaces in Brushy Creek sit unused for eight or nine months of the year, then get fired up the first cold night in December. That dormancy pattern kills thermopiles, corrodes pilot assemblies, and cracks flex lines. We service direct-vent and vent-free units from Heat & Glo, Napoleon, and Superior, testing gas pressure, inspecting burners for spider webs (a real problem in this area), and verifying venting integrity. A typical gas fireplace service in Brushy Creek runs $189-$279. If your unit hasn’t been serviced since you bought the house, call (844) 803-1545 and we’ll schedule a Level-2 camera inspection with your tune-up.

Wood Burning Fireplace
Here’s the thing about wood burning in Brushy Creek: you probably don’t do much of it. Central Texas averages fewer than 25 nights below freezing annually, so your chimney sits idle and unsealed through spring storms and humid summers. Moisture gets in. Metal chase covers rust. Mortar crowns crack. Wasps, squirrels, and chimney swifts move in. When you do light a fire, you might get smoke rollout, a stuck damper, or a nesting smell. We inspect, clean, and repair wood burning systems with an eye toward what actually fails in this climate: not heavy creosote, but water damage and animal intrusion. Our Fireplace Services team handles everything from firebox panel replacement to full chase rebuilds.

Fireplace Insert
Inserts are a popular upgrade in Brushy Creek’s 1990s-2000s tract homes because they convert inefficient open fireplaces into sealed, high-efficiency heaters. But installation is not a handyman job. The insert must be properly sized to the existing flue, connected with a listed liner system, and inspected for clearance to combustibles in walls that were never designed for masonry heat. We install and service inserts from leading manufacturers, using DuraFlex and Olympia Chimney liner systems sized to your specific unit. Most insert consultations in Brushy Creek include a Level-2 inspection first, so we know exactly what we’re working with before we quote.

Damper Repair
A stuck or broken damper wastes money in summer and winter alike. In Brushy Creek’s humid climate, a damper that won’t seal tight lets conditioned air escape and moist outside air enter, accelerating rust in metal fireboxes and corrosion in chase covers. We repair throat dampers, install top-sealing dampers for better energy performance, and replace rusted damper plates in prefab units where the original part has simply worn through. Top-sealing damper installation in Brushy Creek typically runs $425-$650, including the cap.

Firebox Repair
The stamped steel fireboxes in Brushy Creek’s factory-built fireplaces weren’t designed to last 30 years, but many are hitting that age now. We see cracked refractory panels, warped steel, and deteriorating refractory mortar in homes throughout the 78717 ZIP. Panel replacement is straightforward if caught early; left alone, heat transfer can damage the surrounding framing. We use HeatShield refractory repair systems and factory-matched replacement panels where available.

Fireplace Conversion
Converting from wood to gas, or from a standing pilot to electronic ignition, requires more than dropping in a new burner. In Brushy Creek, we handle gas line routing, venting verification, and permit coordination with Williamson County. Most conversions finish in one day, with no-hassle upfront pricing so you know the full cost before we start.

Trusted Brands We Service in Brushy Creek
We don’t use builder-grade substitutes. Our trucks carry professional-grade parts from DuraFlex, HeatShield, Famco, and Copperfield, so when your technician arrives in Brushy Creek, the right component is already on the shelf. That means no waiting on shipping, no return trips, and no improvisation. For factory-built fireplaces, we source OEM refractory panels and chase covers matched to Heatilator, Superior, and Lennox Hearth Products specifications. If your unit is discontinued, we’ll fabricate or adapt with materials that meet or exceed original ratings. Everything we install is covered by our 90-Day Done Right Promise - in writing, no arguing.
Common Fireplace Services Problems We See in Brushy Creek Homes
- Corroded chase covers and deteriorating crowns. Brushy Creek’s spring storms and humid summers hit metal chimneys hard. Water pools on flat chase covers, rusts through the metal, and stains the siding below. We replace with stainless steel or copper caps that shed water properly.
- Chimney swift nesting in uncapped flues. From May through October, these migratory birds are federally protected active nesters across Williamson County. Cleaning or capping an active swift nest is a federal violation under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. We inspect and cap chimneys before nesting season starts.
- Failed refractory panels in aging prefab units. The zero-clearance fireplaces installed during Brushy Creek’s 1990s-2000s building boom used refractory cement panels rated for roughly 20 years of moderate use. Many are now past that mark, with cracks that let heat reach surrounding framing.
- Gas control valve and thermopile failures from long dormancy. Infrequent use means components sit idle, corrode, and fail when finally called upon. We test and replace valves, pilots, and thermopiles with parts rated for your specific manufacturer and model.
