Chimney Sweep
Conroe, TX

#1 Chimney Sweep Service in Conroe – What We Do:

Inspection and Preparation

The technician assesses the chimney’s condition, checking for cracks, creosote buildup, obstructions (like bird nests), and structural issues. The area surrounding the fireplace is covered with drop cloths to protect floors and furniture from soot. A high-powered vacuum is set up to control dust and debris.

Interior and Exterior Chimney Brushing

Using specialized chimney brushes, the technician scrubs the interior flue from top to bottom to remove soot and creosote buildup. The chimney cap, crown, and exterior masonry are inspected and cleaned. A rotary cleaning tool may be used for heavy creosote deposits.

Creosote and Soot Removal

The technician vacuums and sweeps away all loosened creosote, soot, and debris from the chimney and fireplace. Additional chemical treatments may be applied if there is glazed creosote that needs to be softened for removal.

Smoke Chamber and Damper Cleaning

At the 4th step of the chimney sweep, the smoke chamber (above the firebox) is cleaned to ensure proper airflow. The damper is inspected, cleaned, and tested to confirm it opens and closes properly.

Final Inspection and Safety Check

The technician does a final check for cracks, blockages, or structural issues that need repair. They test the draft and airflow to ensure the chimney functions correctly. If necessary, they provide recommendations for repairs or future maintenance.

Cleanup and Reporting

Final step of a chimney sweep: all tools and protective materials are removed, and the work area is cleaned. The technician provides a report detailing the condition of the chimney and any recommendations for future service or repairs.
