Call (830) 251-4560

Our crews serve homes across Highland Village from the lakefront streets of Highland Shores to the cul-de-sacs off FM 2499 and the older subdivisions along Highland Village Road. We know this housing stock. We know how the humidity off Lewisville Lake behaves against chimney crowns and mortar joints. Call (830) 251-4560 and we’ll schedule a sweep at a time that fits your week, not ours.

Why Flint Chimney Sweep Is Highland Village’s Preferred Chimney Sweep Company

Homeowners in Highland Village call us because every job runs on documented commitments. Before we touch your chimney, you get a written price for the sweep, the camera inspection, and any work we recommend. Afterward, you get a photo report showing exactly what we found and what we did. No technician ever quotes a repair on the roof and expects you to take it on faith.

We operate under the Garrison Standard, the same code every Garrison Partners location has followed since 2002. The 365-Day Done Right Promise applies to every repair we make in Highland Village: if a covered repair fails within one full year, we return at no charge. No argument, no reopened estimate. A live person answers our phone 24/7, so when you call (830) 251-4560 at 8 p.m. on a Sunday, you get a real person, not a voicemail tree.

Our technicians arrive in uniform, background-checked, and inside the appointment window we gave you. The tech who walks your roof in Highland Shores is the same person whose name was on the booking confirmation. That matters when you’ve been burned before by a no-show crew or a price that moved at the door.

Chimney Sweep Certified in Highland Village

When we perform a Chimney Sweep Certified job in Highland Village, we’re not just running a brush up the flue. A certified sweep here means a full mechanical brushing of the flue liner, removal of creosote and soot from the smoke chamber and firebox, and a camera inspection of the entire flue path before and after. We’re looking for what the homeowner can’t see from the hearth: hairline cracks in the clay liner, glaze-level creosote that’s hardened to the flue wall, and moisture staining that points to a crown problem.

A homeowner in Highland Village should schedule a certified sweep when they see flaky creosote buildup, when smoke rolls back into the room, or when it’s been more than one burning season since the last cleaning. The National Fire Protection Association standard says an annual inspection and a sweep as needed, and around the lake, we stick to that. A sweep with camera inspection in Highland Village runs $189 – $279 depending on flue height and the amount of buildup.

Creosote and Soot Removal

Creosote isn’t one substance. First-degree creosote is flaky and dull black, and it brushes out with standard tools. Third-degree creosote is glossy and tar-like, and it requires rotary cleaning heads and chemical treatment to break it down. In Highland Village, the humidity from Lewisville Lake can turn first-degree creosote into a sticky second-stage faster than in drier parts of DFW, which is why we recommend a camera look even when the flue looks clean to the naked eye.

Soot removal is faster and simpler, but it still matters. A fireplace that’s been burning only seasoned oak will still push fine soot into the smoke shelf and damper assembly. We vacuum it out, not blow it around your living room. The firebox is sealed and the work area is draped before a single tool comes off the truck.

Annual Sweep and Fireplace Cleaning

An annual sweep in Highland Village is the cheapest insurance you’ll buy against a chimney fire. Plan on it if you burn more than two cords a year, if you have an open fireplace rather than an insert, or if you burn wood that isn’t fully seasoned. The sweep itself takes under two hours, and we schedule it before the burning season so you’re not waiting on a crew in November when everyone else in Highland Village has the same idea.

Fireplace cleaning goes beyond the flue. We clean the firebox walls, the grate area, the glass doors if you have them, and the damper assembly. The photo report you get afterward shows the before and after, so you can hold us to the 365-Day Done Right Promise with your own eyes.

Gas Fireplace Cleaning in Highland Village

Gas Fireplace Cleaning in Highland Village means more than dusting the logs. We shut off the gas supply, remove the log set and burner, vacuum the firebox, clean the pilot assembly and thermopile, and check the venting for any obstruction or corrosion. Homes along Lewisville Lake see faster corrosion on vent components because of the persistent humidity, so the vent check is not optional here. Gas fireplace cleaning and service in Highland Village runs $159 – $249 depending on the unit.

Gas fireplaces still produce deposits. The white film on the inside of the glass is mineral residue from combustion, and the logs themselves collect dust that burns off with a smell you’ll notice on the first fire in fall. A cleaning removes that before it becomes a smell in your living room.

Log Set and Burner Service

If your gas logs are newer, they’re likely a vented log set that sits on a burner pan. We clean the burner ports, check the gas pressure at the valve, and reposition logs to the manufacturer’s spec so the flame pattern is right. Misaligned logs cause sooting and carbon monoxide risk, not just a lousy-looking fire.

If you have a vent-free set, the cleaning is lighter but the inspection matters more. Vent-free logs burn cleaner, but any soot buildup on the logs themselves is a sign of impingement, and that needs correction, not just wiping.

Trusted Brands We Service in Highland Village

We stock parts and materials for the chimney systems Highland Village homes actually have. That means HeatShield resurfacing compound for smoke chamber repairs, Gelco chimney caps and chase covers, and Olympia Chimney liners and components. When your crown needs sealing or your chase cover is rusted through from lake humidity, we source the part from a manufacturer we know, not whatever is cheapest at the supply house. For Highland Village customers, that means no waiting on a backordered part from a vendor we’ve never used.

Common Chimney Sweep Problems We See in Highland Village Homes

• Crown cracking from lake humidity. Homes along Lake Lewisville, especially in Highland Shores and The Peninsula, show crown deterioration faster than inland DFW. Moisture seeps into hairline cracks, freezes in the rare hard frost, and widens them. A sweep that skips the crown check misses the problem that costs the most later.
• First-degree creosote hiding behind a clean-looking firebox. Homeowners see a little ash and assume the flue is fine. The camera finds flaking creosote halfway up the liner that would be third-degree by next season. This is why we never book a sweep without a camera inspection.
• Damper assemblies rusted from humid air. The damper sits right where lake air gathers, and on homes built in the 90s and 2000s, the cast iron isn’t always sealed. We see dampers that won’t close fully, which drags conditioned air up the chimney all summer.
• Smoke chamber gaps in 80s and 90s builds. Homes built before 2000 in Highland Village often have corbeled smoke chambers with gaps in the mortar. Creosote settles in the gaps, and that’s a chimney fire waiting for the right ignition. A sweep with a camera catches it before it matters.
