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.

Call (830) 251-4560 to get a quote that actually matches what you’ll pay.
Why Wellington Homes Are Different
Wellington’s housing stock spans a wide range, and the chimney work changes with it. The older homes near the village center, especially around South Main and West Herrick, run on masonry chimneys built with clay tile liners that have been absorbing decades of creosote and freeze-thaw cycles. Those tiles crack in the kind of winters we get here, and once a tile spalls, the gap becomes a place where heat reaches framing it shouldn’t. Homes out toward Pitts Road and Peck Wadsworth are more likely to have newer prefabricated chimneys, but those have their own failure point: the metal flue sections corrode at the seams from condensation, and a chimney that looks fine from the yard can be rusting through inside.
The other variable is how Wellington heats. A lot of homes run wood stoves or fireplace inserts as primary heat, not decoration. That means the flue gets hot every day from November through March, and creosote builds differently than it does in a house that burns a fire twice a month. Heavier use means heavier deposits, and heavier deposits mean a sweep is not optional. We also work around the village’s older housing stock where chimneys run through tight attic spaces, which changes how we set up ladders and roof access. None of this is exotic, but it’s why a Wellington sweep is not the same job as one in a new development.
Our Main Wellington Services
Most Wellington calls start with one of these two, and the third usually follows once we’ve put eyes inside the flue.
Chimney Sweep in Wellington
A Chimney Sweep in Wellington is a full-service cleaning of the flue, smoke chamber, and firebox. We run rotary brushes sized to your liner, vacuum with a HEPA filter, and leave a drop cloth down from the front door to the hearth. In Wellington, the biggest difference from a standard sweep is the creosote density from daily wood-burning, which sometimes takes a second pass. The written price covers the full job, no surprise fuel fees or rooftop surcharges.
Chimney Inspection in Wellington
A Chimney Inspection in Wellington is a camera scan of the flue from top to bottom, plus a visual check of the crown, flashing, and firebox. For older Wellington homes with clay tile liners, this is where we find the cracks and spalling that a sweep alone won’t reveal. You get a written report with photos, and we don’t recommend a repair we can’t show you the evidence for. If the liner is fine, we tell you it’s fine and you’re done.
Chimney Repair in Wellington
A Chimney Repair in Wellington covers cracked crowns, spalling brick, damper replacement, and full flue relining. When a Wellington chimney needs a liner, we spec HeatShield or DuraFlex based on the flue dimensions and what the repair actually calls for, never a brand that’s easier to stock. Every repair is backed by the 365-Day Done Right Promise: if a covered fix fails within a year, we return at no charge.
