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.

Why Bee Cave Homes Are Different
Bee Cave chimney work carries a few specific wrinkles you won’t find in flatter parts of Central Texas. Homes here sit on the eastern edge of the Hill Country, which means limestone outcroppings near foundations, sloping lots, and roof pitches that make chimney access trickier than a standard suburban split-level. Many Bee Cave houses were built during the 1990s and 2000s boom, and those mid-construction-era fireplaces often have prefab flue systems that are now hitting the 25 – 30 year mark. That’s when joints loosen, liners crack, and a routine sweep turns into a repair conversation.
Bee Cave also sits in a high-wind corridor. Spring and fall gust fronts push debris, creosote flakes, and even small animal nests deeper into flues than you’d see in a sheltered neighborhood. We regularly find dryer lint, roofing granules, and bird droppings mixed into Bee Cave chimney deposits because the wind simply carries more material across the roofline. The good news: that buildup is exactly what a proper sweep clears out, and we flag anything structural during the same visit.
Our Main Bee Cave Services
These are the two jobs Bee Cave homeowners call us about most: a full chimney sweep before burning season, and a camera inspection when they want documented proof of what’s inside the flue.
Chimney Sweep in Bee Cave
A Chimney Sweep in Bee Cave clears the flue liner, smoke chamber, damper, and firebox of accumulated soot and creosote. In Bee Cave, wind-driven debris tends to settle faster than in lower-lying areas, so we check the crown and cap during every sweep. If creosote has hardened into a glaze, we say so plainly and recommend the next step, with a written price before any additional work starts. Every sweep leaves the hearth area covered and the surrounding floor cleaned before we pack up.
Chimney Inspection in Bee Cave
A Chimney Inspection in Bee Cave puts a camera through the flue from top to bottom and documents what’s actually there: cracked tile liners, gaps, water intrusion, or creosote buildup you can’t see from the firebox. Bee Cave’s wind and occasional hail storms mean flashing and crown damage show up more often than you’d expect. You receive a photo report with our findings, and our rule is simple: nothing gets recommended without camera evidence you can look at yourself.
Chimney Repair in Bee Cave
A Chimney Repair in Bee Cave covers flue relining, crown rebuilding, flashing replacement, or masonry work on the chimney chase. High-wind exposure in Bee Cave accelerates flashing failure, which is why we check sealant and metal condition on every inspection. All repair work carries a written guarantee valid for one full year, and if a covered repair fails within that period, we return at no charge. Parts come from trusted trade brands like DuraFlex, HeatShield, and Gelco, specified by the job, not by what’s cheapest on the truck.
