Chimney Repair and Maintenance in Dallas-Fort Worth

Why should I get my chimney cleaned?

When it comes to home safety and comfort in North Texas, a clean and well-maintained chimney is essential. Whether in a new master suite, a family room addition, or a living room remodel, a fireplace is sure to become the epicenter of your family gatherings.

While every setup is different, many older homes have traditional masonry wood-burning fireplaces that are wonderful to look at, whether dormant with logs stacked neatly inside or alive with a crackling fire. No matter how beautiful it is, you can never get complacent about owning and operating a fireplace.

As wood burns and combusts, it releases smoke, which lines the inside of the shaft with soot. Over time this soot mixes with moisture in the air, creating a sticky, dangerous substance called creosote. This highly combustible, tar-like material can ignite, causing damage to your chimney and possibly your home. Just 1/8 of an inch of buildup is enough to ignite and take your entire home with it.

Why do I need a professional inspection?

Regardless of how often you use your chimney, annually assessing its structure and integrity is imperative. This once-a-year inspection is not just our personal and professional recommendation.

Our technicians follow a strict 15-point checklist of criteria, including the following:

  • Chimney cap and crown defects
  • Creosote or heavy soot
  • Abandoned or hidden chimney thimble ports
  • Cleanliness
  • Damaged, blocked, or unsafe chimney flues
  • Dead end flues
  • Fireplace inserts for wood or coal installed into an existing masonry flue
  • Missing chimney clean-out doors
  • Movement in chimneys
  • Orphaned gas-fired water heaters
  • Rusted or damaged chimney or fireplace components
