Why Hearthstone Chimney Co. Is Irving’s Preferred Chimney Cleaning & Sweep Company

We’ve been driving to Irving from our base of operations for over 42 years. That means we’ve swept chimneys on MacArthur Boulevard homes near the old Texas Stadium site, inspected flues in Las Colinas townhomes with views of Lake Carolyn, and cleared nests from ranch-style stacks off Story Road long before the Toyota Music Factory broke ground.

Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and trained to complete most jobs in a single visit. We don’t hand you a clipboard of upsells. We hand you photos of your flue, a plain-English verdict on what we found, and upfront pricing with no surprises on the bill. The number on the estimate is the number on the invoice.

Calls come to a live person, not a voicemail tree. That’s been true every day, every hour, for decades. When an Irving homeowner smells something wrong in July or needs a sweep before the first Blue Norther hits, someone answers.

Our 90-Day Done Right Promise - the Keystone Standard - means if it’s not right, we come back. No paperwork to dig up, no arguing. Krafted right, Every time, Your home first, Standing behind it. That’s not a slogan. It’s how Russell Haines has run this company since 1984.

Our Chimney Cleaning & Sweep Services in Irving

Level 1 Chimney Inspection

A Level 1 inspection is the annual check every Irving homeowner with a wood-burning or gas fireplace should schedule. We examine the readily accessible portions of your chimney exterior, interior, and connecting appliance - no tools, no demolition. For the thousands of 1960s-1980s brick ranch homes in central and south Irving, this basic inspection often reveals the first signs of trouble: cracked mortar joints, deteriorated chimney crowns, or creosote buildup from those occasional winter fires. A Level 1 inspection in Irving typically runs $125-$195. Most appointments take under an hour, and you’ll have photos and a written verdict before we leave.

Level 2 Chimney Inspection

When you’re buying a home near University Park or selling a place in Valley Ranch, or after any chimney fire, weather event, or change to your heating appliance, a Level 2 inspection is required by NFPA 211 standards. We run a high-resolution camera up your flue and document every inch. In Irving’s 1960s-1980s housing stock, we regularly find chimney-to-roofline separations caused by North Texas black clay soil movement - a near-routine finding here, not an exception. The camera doesn’t lie, and neither do we. You’ll see the footage and get a plain-English explanation of what needs attention now versus what can wait. Level 2 inspections in Irving range from $275-$425 depending on accessibility and flue configuration.

Creosote Removal

Creosote is the tar-like residue that builds up when wood burns incompletely. In Irving, where most homeowners fire up the hearth only during brief cold snaps, that intermittent use pattern actually accelerates certain types of glazed creosote formation - the kind that can’t be brushed off with standard tools. We use professional-grade rotary systems and, when necessary, chemical treatments from Copperfield to break down Stage 3 glazed deposits. For homes near Belt Line Road or Rochelle Street with original masonry fireplaces that haven’t seen a sweep in years, this isn’t optional maintenance. It’s fire prevention. Creosote removal in Irving starts at $175 for light buildup and ranges to $450 for heavy glazed deposits requiring chemical treatment.

Soot Removal and Fireplace Cleaning

Soot stains the firebox, discolors the hearth, and drifts into your living space when the damper doesn’t seal properly. In Irving’s Las Colinas and Valley Ranch neighborhoods, we frequently find gas-log conversions from the 1980s and 1990s with original dampers left partially open or missing clamps entirely - so soot and household dust accumulate year-round, not just in burning season. We clean fireboxes, smoke chambers, and hearths using methods appropriate to your fireplace type, whether original masonry or retrofitted insert. Soot removal and fireplace cleaning in Irving typically runs $150-$275. If we find that your gas conversion needs a locking damper cap or liner modification, we’ll show you why and explain your options without pressure.

Trusted Brands We Service in Irving

We don’t use builder-grade substitutes. For liner repairs and relining work that often follows a thorough cleaning, we stock and install DuraFlex stainless steel liners, HeatShield cerfractory flue sealant, and Famco chimney caps and dampers. These are the same materials specified by manufacturers who understand that Irving’s temperature swings and clay soil conditions punish chimneys harder than milder climates. Because we keep common sizes in stock, most Irving homeowners don’t wait weeks for parts. We also handle Chimney Repair in Irving using these same professional-grade components, so if your sweep reveals crown damage or liner failure, the fix doesn’t require calling a second contractor.

Common Chimney Cleaning & Sweep Problems We See in Irving Homes

• Nest blockages in uncapped flues. Irving’s mild winters mean chimneys sit idle for months, giving chimney swifts, starlings, and squirrels time to build nests. We clear these regularly from homes near the Trinity River greenbelt and throughout 75062, where mature trees attract nesting wildlife.
• Cracked mortar and crown damage from soil movement. The expansive black clay beneath south and central Irving shifts with seasonal moisture changes. That foundation movement transfers stress to chimney stacks, opening mortar joints and separating crowns from flue tiles. We document this with camera footage so homeowners understand it’s a structural issue, not just age.
• Improper gas-log conversions with open flues. In Valley Ranch and older Las Colinas-adjacent subdivisions, technicians routinely find 1980s and 1990s gas-log retrofits that never received stainless liners or locking damper caps. The original full-size masonry flue has been open to rain, debris, and wildlife for 30-plus years - a combination of light-use neglect and DIY-era shortcuts that’s especially concentrated in these Irving planned communities.
• Glazed creosote from intermittent burning. Because Irving homeowners tend to burn only during Blue Norther cold snaps, fires never establish the sustained high temperatures that help keep flues cleaner. The result is hard, glazed creosote that requires specialized removal - standard brushing won’t touch it.
