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 Kaufman, TX
Chimney cleaning in Kaufman, TX typically costs between $189 and $319 for a standard sweep, with most jobs completed in under two hours. Kaufman sits on the eastern edge of the Dallas-Fort Worth metro, where older ranch homes mix with newer construction, and that mix changes what we see inside the flue. If you need a sweep, an inspection, or a repair, call us at (830) 251-4560 and we’ll give you a written price before any work begins.
Why Kaufman Homes Are Different
Kaufman’s housing stock spans decades, and that span shows up in chimney work. Homes near the Kaufman County Courthouse and along Washington Street often date back to the 1950s and 1960s, with masonry chimneys built from local brick and clay tile liners. Those liners crack over time. Newer subdivisions off Highway 34 and FM 1388 lean toward prefabricated fireplaces with factory-built metal flues, which have their own wear patterns and clearances to check.
The climate matters too. Kaufman gets real humidity through spring and summer, and humid air works its way into chimney masonry and accelerates spalling, the flaking you see on older brick faces. Then winter brings short, sharp cold snaps that cause freeze-thaw cycles inside any moisture that has soaked into the crown. That combination is exactly why Kaufman homeowners should not treat a chimney as a set-it-and-forget-it feature. A visual inspection catches small crown cracks before water reaches the firebox.
Our Main Kaufman Services
Kaufman homeowners call us for three things: a sweep to clear the flue for burning season, an inspection when a house is changing hands or a chimney has sat unused, and repairs when water or heat has done damage. Each service has its own dedicated page with full detail.
Chimney Sweep in Kaufman
A sweep in Kaufman removes creosote and soot from the flue liner, smoke shelf, damper, and firebox, then includes a check of the cap and crown while we are up there. What we find depends on the house: older masonry chimneys off Highway 243 tend to carry more third-degree creosote if they have burned unseasoned wood. We leave a written report of what came out and what condition the liner is in. Chimney Sweep in Kaufman
Chimney Inspection in Kaufman
An inspection in Kaufman covers what a sweep cannot see, using a video camera run the full length of the flue. In Kaufman’s older homes, that camera regularly finds cracked clay tiles or gaps in mortar joints that hide behind the chimney breast. For homes changing hands, we provide a written condition report that buyers and sellers can both read. Chimney Inspection in Kaufman
