Chimney Sweep in Dallas, TX you can trust on your roof and in your living room.

Most Dallas companies charge $199 to $249 for a standard sweep. At Chimney Sweep Keepers Dallas the inspection and the estimate are free. We look at the firebox, damper, flue and cap, show you photos, and give you a written price before any work starts. Extra flues, heavy glazed creosote, very tall chimneys and animal nests raise the price, and you see that in writing first. Call (469) 206-2085 to book.

NFPA 211, the national fire code for chimneys, says chimneys, fireplaces and vents should be inspected once a year. Sweep it when the inspection finds about 1/8 inch of soot or creosote, or sooner if you burn wood more than a few times a week. Most Dallas homes that use the fireplace on cool nights need a sweep every one to two years.

Yes. Gas does not leave thick creosote, but the flue can still get blocked by nests, leaves or fallen tile, and gas logs and burners collect soot. A blocked gas flue can push carbon monoxide into the house, so we check the flue, burner, pilot and venting on every gas fireplace visit.

We cover the floor and hearth, set up a HEPA vacuum, and brush the flue, smoke chamber, smoke shelf, damper and firebox. Then we check the flue with a camera, look at the cap, crown and flashing from the roof, and give you photos of what we found.

A chimney must stand at least 3 feet above the point where it leaves the roof, and at least 2 feet higher than any part of the roof within 10 feet of it. A chimney that is too short drafts poorly and can blow smoke back into the house.

Most sweeps with an inspection take 60 to 90 minutes. Very dirty flues, homes with more than one fireplace, or a Level 2 video inspection can take longer. We clean up before we leave.

Yes. We remove raccoons, squirrels, birds and bats humanely, clean out the nest and install a cap so they cannot come back. Chimney swifts are protected by federal law, so if they are nesting (usually May to September in Dallas) we wait until they leave, then sweep and cap the chimney.

Dallas heat and humidity pull odors out of creosote, and warm air outside can push air down the chimney into the room. A sweep removes the creosote, and a top-sealing damper or a working cap stops most of the down draft.

Yes. Most Dallas chimney leaks come from a cracked crown, failed flashing, a missing cap or worn mortar. Spring storms and hail make all four worse. We find where the water gets in, fix that spot and can waterproof the brick after.
