Chimney sweep logs do not sweep chimneys. They loosen some creosote - which then falls where a brush and vacuum still have to collect it.
Fast, Reliable Chimney Sweep Across Southlake
Most Southlake homeowners need a chimney sweep once a year, and the work usually takes 45 to 90 minutes per flue. Flint Chimney Co Fort Worth handles multi-flue luxury homes, see-through fireplaces, and outdoor kitchen chimneys throughout Southlake, from Carillon to Estes Park. We arrive with a written price before any tool comes off the truck, and a live person answers our phone around the clock. Call (682) 255-2144 to schedule a sweep or ask about our Chimney Sweep pricing.
Why Flint Chimney Co Fort Worth Is Southlake’s Preferred Chimney Sweep Company
Southlake houses are not like the rest of the metroplex. We know that because we sweep them weekly. Homes off Continental Boulevard and along Davis Boulevard tend to have larger flues, custom stone surrounds, and multiple fireplaces tied to a single chase. That changes how we set up ladders, where we run drop cloths, and how long the job takes. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and they know to protect marble mantels and hearths the same way they’d protect their own floors. The team is led by Hank Delano, who has drilled our crews on The Garrison Standard: every job gets a written scope, a written price, and a one-year written guarantee on any repair we make. Southlake homeowners call us because the invoice matches the approved quote. Not close. Exact.
Styles & brands we work with





Chimney Services in Southlake
Chimney Services in Southlake means more than running a brush up a flue. The houses here often have two or three flues, a gas log set in one firebox, a wood-burning fireplace in another, and an outdoor kitchen chimney stacked against the patio wall. Our crews map the whole system before starting: firebox, damper, smoke chamber, flue liner, crown, cap, and chase. Then we sweep, inspect, and document. A standard sweep of one flue in Southlake typically runs $189 to $289. Level 1 inspections run $129 to $199 when paired with a sweep. Written price first, every time.
Multi-Flue and Multi-Fireplace Cleaning
If a Southlake house has a see-through fireplace, there are two fireboxes but often one shared chimney. We clean both sides and inspect the damper connection. Skipping one firebox leaves creosote in the shared chase, which can stain custom stonework that costs thousands to restore.

Annual Sweep and Inspection Before Cold Snaps
Most Southlake homeowners burn wood only during cold snaps, then the fireplace sits idle for months. Creosote forms during those high-use spells and dries hard. We recommend an annual sweep in early fall so the first cold night doesn’t become a smoke-filled room.

Chimney Sweep Certified in Southlake
Chimney Sweep Certified in Southlake means the crew on your roof follows a written protocol, not a guess. Every technician on our team works under The Garrison Code: arrive in the scheduled window, lay protection before equipment touches the floor, inspect before brushing, sweep to the full depth of the flue, document with photos, and present a written summary. A Level 2 inspection (which includes video scanning of the flue interior) runs $249 to $399 in Southlake. Homes with three or more flues fall at the upper end because of the added time on the roof and inside the chase.
Creosote and Soot Removal
First-degree creosote is a dry soot that brushes off. Third-degree creosote is a hard, glossy glaze that requires mechanical removal. We list what we found in writing, show photos, and never recommend a treatment the camera didn’t capture. That’s the only way to know whether a Southlake fireplace actually needs the extra work.
Damper, Crown, and Cap Checks
A sweep is also the best time to catch a rusted cap or cracked crown. In Southlake, we see crown cracks allow water into the chimney chase, which then spalls stone and stains interior walls. We photograph it and quote the fix as a separate written line item.
Trusted Brands We Service in Southlake
When a Southlake chimney needs parts, we don’t install whatever is on the truck. We specify by job. DuraFlex liners for relining flues in older masonry chimneys. Olympia Chimney caps and dampers for custom chases. Famco components for prefabricated fireplaces common in 1990s-era Southlake builds. Copperfield for flashing and chase covers on steep rooflines along the lakeside streets. We carry or can quickly source parts for all these brands locally, which means less waiting on a second visit for a correct component.

AfterCommon Chimney Sweep Problems We See in Southlake Homes
- See-through fireplaces swept on one side only. A previous company brushes the main flue and calls it done. The second firebox still holds creosote, and the shared stone surround starts to darken within a season or two.
- Third-degree creosote in seldom-used flues. Southlake homes with a gas log set in the living room but a wood-burning fireplace upstairs sometimes go years between sweeps. Creosote forms unnoticed in the flue nobody uses until a buyer’s inspection uncovers it.
- Outdoor kitchen chimneys that smoke back into the patio. When an outdoor fireplace shares design flaws like a short flue or a poorly sized throat, soot backs into the seating area. We sweep and diagnose the draft issue so holiday hosting doesn’t turn into a smoke show.
- Cracked crowns on tall masonry chases. Southlake’s two-story stone chimneys catch a lot of North Texas weather. Crown cracks let water in, which migrates to interior walls and damages custom finishes. We reseal crowns as part of the annual visit when needed.
Pricing for Chimney Sweep in Southlake, TX
A single-flue chimney sweep in Southlake runs $189 to $289. A Level 1 inspection is $129 to $199. A Level 2 inspection with video scanning is $249 to $399. Multi-flue homes, see-through fireplaces, and outdoor kitchen chimneys add per-flue cost because each flue gets its own brushing and documentation. The variables are the number of flues, roof pitch, chase height, and the degree of creosote present. We hand you a written price before work begins, and that number doesn’t move.

FAQs About Chimney Sweep in Southlake
Once a year. Even a handful of burns during a cold snap deposits creosote, and a see-through fireplace has two fireboxes sharing one chase, so the buildup happens on both sides. The annual visit should include a Level 1 inspection. Call (682) 255-2144 to book before burning season.
Yes, but each flue is swept and documented separately. Our Southlake crews handle multi-flue homes regularly off Shady Oaks Drive and in developments around Dove Road, and the written quote reflects each flue’s condition. Expect the job to take two to three hours total.
Third-degree creosote looks like a hard, shiny glaze and it can form in a single season of low-temperature burns. It is a fuel source for chimney fires, and we remove it mechanically when the camera shows it. If the flue is clean, we say so and you don’t pay for treatment you don’t need.
We do, and many Southlake homeowners request it before holiday entertaining. We recently swept a two-story masonry chimney off Shady Oaks Drive where the homeowner had a see-through fireplace and an outdoor kitchen stack. We discovered first-degree creosote glazing inside the indoor flue, protected the custom limestone surround with HEPA vacuum and drop cloths while brushing, and resealed the crown to stop water from spalling the stone. Both flues were handled in one visit.
A sweep removes creosote and soot. A rusted cap and cracked crown are repairs, quoted as separate line items after we show you photos. In Southlake, we see crown cracks lead to interior staining fast on tall chases, so we recommend addressing them before the rainy season. Everything we repair carries a one-year written guarantee through our 365-Day Done Right Promise.
