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 Highland Village, TX
Chimney cleaning in Highland Village, TX runs between $189 and $279 for a standard sweep with a Level 1 visual inspection included. Most homes here have wood-burning fireplaces that see heavy use from November through February, and the local clay soil shifts enough during wet-dry cycles that firebox and flue joints need checking more often than homeowners expect. Call (830) 251-4560 for a written quote before any work starts.
Why Highland Village Homes Are Different
Highland Village sits on the eastern shore of Lewisville Lake, and lake-effect humidity works its way into chimney systems in ways drier parts of DFW never see. The moisture combines with creosote deposits to form a paste that clings to flue walls, accelerating what would otherwise be a slower buildup. Homes in the Castlewood and Highland Shores neighborhoods, many built from the late 1980s through the early 2000s, have masonry chimneys with clay tile liners that are now reaching the age where spalling and cracking become common findings during a sweep.
The other factor is soil. Highland Village is built on expansive clay, and the shrink-swell cycle every summer produces foundation movement that transmits up through masonry. A chimney that was plumb five years ago may have shifted enough to crack the crown, which lets water in at the top and quietly erodes mortar joints. We inspect for that on every job here, not just the flue interior.
Our Main Highland Village Services
Most Highland Village homeowners call us for one of two reasons: a routine sweep ahead of burning season, or an inspection because they smelled smoke backing into the house or noticed water staining. Repairs usually follow the inspection.
Chimney Sweep in Highland Village
A Chimney Sweep in Highland Village removes creosote, soot, and any debris that has settled in the flue since the last burn. In Highland Village we also clear the smoke shelf and damper area, where the lake humidity tends to pack the kind of sticky residue that brushes alone miss. The job ends with a visual check of the firebox and damper, and we leave the hearth clean enough that you would not know we were there except for the flue.
Chimney Inspection in Highland Village
A Chimney Inspection in Highland Village is a documented condition report, not a quick look. We run a camera up the flue and give you a written summary with photos showing exactly what we found. For homes in the Doubletree and Fairway neighborhoods where second owners moved in within the last ten years, we commonly find liners that were flagged and deferred by a previous inspector. Our report tells you plainly what needs attention now, what can wait, and what the price is for each.
Chimney Repair in Highland Village
Chimney Repair in Highland Village covers everything from crown sealing and tuckpointing to flue relining (replacing the inner liner that channels smoke safely out of the house). What makes repair work different here is the expansive soil we mentioned: crack patterns in Highland Village chimneys often originate below the roofline, so we check the foundation-side movement before quoting masonry work. Every repair carries a written guarantee valid for one full year, and if a covered repair fails within that period we return at no charge.
