We Provide Chimney Sweep Services Throughout The Dallas/Forth Worth Area
Fireplaces bring us warmth and comfort and enhance the appearance and enjoyment of our homes. But these heating systems also require regular cleaning to keep efficiency high and risk low.
Neglecting cleaning leads to smoke problems, creosote buildup (a flammable deposit that results from combustion), and chimney-related fire and health hazards, and takes away from the efficiency, safety, and enjoyment of the fireside experience. Have you had your chimney cleaned recently? There’s no need to jeopardize your family’s safety when reliable help is just a phone call away.
If you’re looking for a knowledgeable company to clean your Dallas/Fort Worth chimney, we can help. We’ve been proudly helping reduce fire risk and increase fireside enjoyment for our neighbors throughout the Dallas/Fort Worth area since 1983. Our Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA) chimney sweeps have the skills to clean or repair any fireplace and remove any blockages or buildup.

We clean both masonry and factory built wood and gas chimneys and fireplaces, so no matter what type of chimney system you have, we can help.
What’s Involved In A Masonry Fireplace & Chimney Sweeping?

With every sweeping, we also document the condition of the fireplace and chimney and note any damage or concerns. Our team will discuss their findings with you and let you know what they recommend as far as usage, maintenance, and repairs are concerned.
What Are Some Things You Can Do To Keep Your Chimney Maintained?
In between cleanings, there are a few things you can do to keep your chimney clean:
- Trim back any branches or leaves that hang within 15 feet of your chimney.
- Make sure you have a properly fitted chimney cap.
- Always burn seasoned wood and build your fire on the supporting grates if you have a wood-burning appliance. Never burn anything that isn’t properly seasoned firewood.
- Don’t over-fire your fireplace. Make sure the size of your fire is appropriate for your unit.
