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 Willis Homes Are Different
Willis sits at the edge of the Sam Houston National Forest, where pine and oak canopy runs right up to residential lots. That tree cover is beautiful until it isn’t: fine pine needles, oak catkins, and the debris from spring storms all find their way onto roofs and into chimney caps. Homes here burn firewood steadily from November through February, and the humidity that hangs over Lake Conroe means creosote builds up faster than it does in drier parts of Texas. A flue that stayed clean for two years in Lubbock can glaze over in one season in Willis.
Housing stock varies block by block. Some neighborhoods like The Woodlands Hills and Caddo Village have newer construction with prefab fireplaces and factory-built flues. Other streets near downtown Willis hold brick homes from the 1970s and 1980s with masonry chimneys that have seen forty years of Texas weather. Each type needs a different approach: prefab systems require specific UL-listed components and careful handling, while older masonry flues often have cracked clay tile liners or mortar joints that wind and moisture have worked loose over the years. We check both the same way, with cameras and a written report you can see.
Our Main Willis Services
Most Willis calls start with one of two things: a chimney that hasn’t been cleaned in a few seasons, or a home sale that requires a documented inspection. Below are the three services we run in Willis, each with its own page.
Chimney Sweep in Willis
A standard sweep removes the creosote and soot that accumulate on flue walls, plus any debris that’s fallen in from the tree line. In Willis, we often find pine needles and small twigs sitting on top of the damper, especially after a windy spring. The sweep itself takes about an hour for most single-story homes. We run brushes sized to your flue, lay drop cloths, and run a HEPA vacuum so ash doesn’t drift through the living room. You get a written report with before and after photos. Full details are on the Chimney Sweep in Willis page.
Chimney Inspection in Willis
An inspection documents the condition of the flue from firebox to cap. Willis real estate transactions commonly require a Level 2 inspection, which includes running a camera up the flue and photographing cracks, gaps, or blockages the naked eye can’t see. We give you the photos and a written report you can hand to a mortgage company or keep for your own records. If the chimney is clean and sound, we say so plainly. Details and inspection levels are on the Chimney Inspection in Willis page.
Chimney Repair in Willis
Repair work starts with a diagnosis, and the diagnosis is always photographic. We don’t quote a new liner without showing you the camera footage that proves the old one is cracked or separated. Common Willis repairs include flue relining (replacing the inner liner that channels smoke safely out of the house), crown sealing, cap replacement, and damper work. Every repair carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise: if a covered fix fails within a year, we return at no charge. The full scope is on the Chimney Repair in Willis page.

What pushes a Willis job toward the top of these ranges is access and condition. Steep roof pitches, tall flues, and chimneys surrounded by overhanging pine limbs make setup slower and safer work more deliberate. A flue that’s gone several years between cleanings accumulates a hard, tar-like creosote that takes specialty tools to remove. Whatever the job, the number we put in writing before we start is the number on the invoice.
