Call (844) 803-1545

We’ve been serving Georgetown homeowners for decades, and we know the difference between a 1920s limestone chimney downtown and a factory-built gas fireplace in a 2005 Sun City patio home. That matters because the cleaning approach, the inspection protocol, and the warning signs we look for are completely different. Our technicians carry the right brushes, cameras, and fittings for both, and they know which HOA rules apply in master-planned communities and which historic homes need gentler handling.

Georgetown’s mild winters mean most chimneys sit idle eight or nine months a year. That dormancy creates its own problems: nests in flue caps, moisture corrosion, and the false confidence that an unused chimney doesn’t need attention. It does. A pre-season sweep and inspection catches what silence hides.

We’ve been answering calls with a live person for over 42 years, and that hasn’t changed. When a Georgetown homeowner dials (844) 803-1545 at 10 PM because they smelled something odd from the fireplace, a real voice answers - not a callback queue, not an app.

Our background-checked, uniformed technicians complete most jobs in one visit, and every sweep ends with photos you can see and a plain-English verdict. No jargon, no scare tactics. If your flue is sound, we’ll say so. If there’s a problem, we’ll show you exactly where and explain what it costs to fix before any work begins.

We document every inspection like an engineer and explain it like a craftsman. That steady approach has earned us a strong local reputation across Williamson County, including repeat customers in Georgetown who’ve stayed in the same house for twenty, thirty, forty years. They call us because we were there the last time, and we’ll be there the next.

The 90-Day Done Right Promise backs every job in writing. If it’s not right, we make it right - no paperwork, no arguing. That’s the K.E.Y.S. code: Krafted right, Every time, Your home first, Standing behind it.

Our Chimney Cleaning & Sweep Services in Georgetown

Level 1 Inspection

A Level 1 inspection is the standard annual check for chimneys in regular use with no changes to the appliance or venting system. For Georgetown’s newer homes in Wolf Ranch or Cimarron Hills, this usually means examining a factory-built fireplace and metal flue for creosote buildup, proper clearances, and structural soundness. We use professional-grade brushes and rods from Copperfield to clean what we find, and the whole visit typically takes 45 minutes to an hour. A Level 1 inspection and sweep in Georgetown runs $150-$195.

Level 2 Inspection

When you’re buying a home near the Courthouse Square, after a chimney fire, or following any structural event (including that February 2021 freeze that shifted foundations across 78626), a Level 1 isn’t enough. Our Level 2 inspection adds a full camera scan of the flue interior, documented with photos you receive and a written verdict. We’ve found cracked clay tile liners in historic Georgetown homes that looked fine from the firebox, and we’ve documented deteriorating factory-built chimney chase covers in Sun City that were leaking moisture into wall cavities. A Level 2 inspection with camera documentation in Georgetown costs $225-$320.

Creosote Removal

Creosote buildup is the leading cause of chimney fires nationwide, and Georgetown is no exception. Homes with true masonry fireplaces - common in the older 78626 core - can accumulate glazed creosote if green or unseasoned wood was burned, and that stuff doesn’t brush off. We use mechanical removal tools and, when necessary, professional-grade creosote-modifying powders from Famco to break it down safely. For factory-built gas fireplaces, the concern is different: spider webs, dust, and degraded log fibers can mimic creosote hazards and obstruct proper drafting. We know which is which, and we clean accordingly. Heavy creosote removal in Georgetown ranges from $195-$290.

Soot Removal and Annual Sweep

Soot is lighter than creosote but more pervasive, and in Georgetown’s climate it combines with humidity during spring and fall to form acidic deposits that corrode metal flue liners and stain firebox walls. An annual sweep removes this before it causes permanent damage. For Sun City homeowners with vented gas logs, the “soot” is often a mix of dust, insulation fibers from attic spaces, and fine debris from the Texas Hill Country winds that find their way down uncapped flues. Our annual sweep service in Georgetown is $150-$195, and we recommend scheduling before the first cold snap - usually mid-November - when our calendar fills with homeowners who waited.

Our Chimney Cleaning & Sweep team handles everything from routine maintenance to complex removals, always with the same documented, explainable approach.

Trusted Brands We Service in Georgetown

We stock and install professional-grade materials from DuraFlex, HeatShield, Gelco, and Famco - no builder-grade substitutes. That means when we find a damaged flue liner in a Georgetown home, we can often repair it with HeatShield’s cerfractory sealant in a single visit rather than ordering parts and rescheduling. For chimney cap replacements, we carry Gelco and Famco stainless steel models that withstand Central Texas hail and wind. We keep common sizes on the truck because we’ve learned what 1990s-era Lennox and Heatilator fireplaces in Sun City typically need. Faster turnaround, fewer return trips, and a job that stays done.

Common Chimney Cleaning & Sweep Problems We See in Georgetown Homes

• Bird and squirrel nests in idle flues. Georgetown’s mild winters mean flue caps sit unused for months, and the live oak canopy in neighborhoods like Serenada and the Georgetown Village area provides perfect nesting cover. We remove the obstruction, install a proper cap, and inspect for damage the animals left behind.
• Cracked clay tile liners in pre-1970 masonry chimneys. The historic core near Austin Avenue and the Courthouse Square has homes built with local Lueders limestone and original clay flue tiles that have cycled through 80-100 years of Central Texas heat and occasional hard freezes. We camera-inspect these carefully; a cracked liner can vent combustion gases into wall cavities.
• Pilot assembly failure and carbon buildup in Sun City gas fireplaces. Thousands of nearly identical factory-built units in 78633 share the same design quirks: thermocouples that drift out of position, pilot orifices that clog with fine dust, and burner ports that carbonize from the low-BTU gas common in the area. A technician who knows these specific models cleans and adjusts them in half the time of a generalist.
• Moisture damage from unlined or deteriorating chimney chases. Newer master-planned communities in Georgetown often have factory-built chimneys with wooden chase structures covered in stucco or siding. When the chase cap rusts through - common after 15-20 years - rainwater runs down the flue, rotting the chase from inside. We catch this during routine sweeps before the repair becomes a rebuild.
