Level 1 sweep and inspection to the NFPA 211 annual standard - flue, crown, cap, and flashing checked and photographed
Chimney sweep logs do not sweep chimneys. They loosen some creosote - which then falls where a brush and vacuum still have to collect it.

AfterChimney Company in Krum, TX
Chimney cleaning in Krum, TX runs about $189 for a standard sweep, though the number moves with the size of the house, the condition of the flue, and how long it has been since the last cleaning. Krum is a town built around older ranch homes and a growing ring of newer construction, which means our crews see two very different chimney profiles in the same week. We put every price in writing before any tool comes off the truck, and every repair we make carries a written guarantee for one full year. Call (830) 251-4560 for a free estimate.
Why Krum Homes Are Different
Krum sits in western Denton County where the wind moves fast across open ground, and that wind matters more than most homeowners expect. It changes the draft on a chimney, pushes creosote buildup into uneven layers, and during long dry spells it carries fine dust from the surrounding pastureland into uncapped flues. Homes built twenty or thirty years ago along streets near downtown Krum were often framed with masonry fireplaces and clay tile liners, while the subdivisions that have filled in along FM 1173 and toward the high school are more likely to have prefab fireboxes with factory-built metal chimneys. Each type ages differently. Clay liners crack from repeated heat stress and show their trouble first at the top section near the crown, where wind and rain do the most damage. Prefab systems rust at the chase cover and lose their seal around the flashing, which lets water behind the chase and into the framing. We also see a lot of chimneys in Krum that have never been inspected because the house changed hands and the original owner never mentioned one. The clay soil here shifts with rain and drought, and that shifting works on the joint where a masonry chimney meets the roofline. None of this is dramatic, but all of it is real, and it is why the chimney you find in Krum is rarely the chimney that shipped from the factory or was first mortared together.
Our Main Krum Services
Most calls to our Krum crews begin as one of three things: a chimney that has not been swept in years, a fireplace that is not drawing right, or water showing up where it should not be. Here is how each service works in Krum.
Chimney Sweep in Krum
A proper sweep in Krum removes creosote and soot from the full length of the flue, not just the firebox you can see from the living room. Our technicians run rotary brushes sized to the liner and follow with a camera scan to confirm the walls are clean and to spot cracks or gaps before they become the reason for a bigger repair. Fireplaces in Krum that burn oak and mesquite build a harder, glaze-like creosote that takes longer to clear than the soft soot from a gas log. We protect the floors, run a HEPA vacuum, and leave the hearth as clean as we found it. Chimney Sweep in Krum is covered in more detail on its own page.
Chimney Inspection in Krum
An inspection in Krum is the service that answers the question you cannot answer by looking at the outside of your house: what is actually going on inside the flue. We perform Level 1 checks on systems that have been working without issue and Level 2 camera inspections when something has changed, when you are buying or selling a home in Krum, or when a storm has passed through. The camera never lies, and we show you the footage. That matters here because so many Krum houses are older and have changed hands without a chimney inspection on file. Chimney Inspection in Krum explains the two levels and when each one applies.
Chimney Repair in Krum
Repair work in Krum usually comes down to one of three things: cracked flue tiles, failing mortar joints, or water damage at the crown or flashing. The wind and the clay soil make Krum a place where small chimney problems become structural ones faster than in nearby towns with softer weather. We repair with DuraFlex liners when the flue needs rebuilding and Olympia Chimney caps and flashings when the problem is at the top. Every repair carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing, and we return at no charge if a covered repair fails within that year. Chimney Repair in Krum spells out the process.
