Professional Chimney Sweep Services
Schedule ServiceProfessional Chimney Sweep Services in Dallas
While Dallas-Fort Worth may have milder winters than northern states, many DFW homes still rely on fireplaces for supplemental heating and ambiance during our cooler months. A clean chimney is essential for the safe and efficient operation of your fireplace or wood stove. Over time, creosote, soot, and debris accumulate in your chimney, creating a serious fire hazard and reducing efficiency.
The Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA) recommends annual chimney inspections and cleanings to prevent chimney fires and carbon monoxide hazards. Our certified technicians provide thorough chimney cleaning and inspection services to keep your home safe and your fireplace operating efficiently.
Warning Signs Your Chimney Needs Cleaning
- Fires that burn poorly or smoke backs up into your home
- Strong odor coming from the fireplace when not in use
- Black, sooty deposits around the fireplace opening
- Excessive smoke when a fire is burning
- Visible creosote or tar-like substance in the chimney or fireplace
- Animals or debris in the chimney
- It's been over a year since your last cleaning

Our Comprehensive Chimney Sweep Process
Our thorough chimney sweep process includes:
- Initial Inspection: We examine your chimney to assess its condition and identify any specific issues.

- Specialized Equipment: We use professional-grade brushes, rods, and vacuum systems specifically designed for chimney cleaning.
- Thorough Cleaning: We remove creosote, soot, and debris from the entire chimney system, including the flue liner, smoke chamber, damper, and firebox.
- Structural Inspection: We check for any cracks, deterioration, or other structural issues that could compromise safety.
- Cap and Crown Inspection: We inspect the chimney cap and crown for damage or wear.
- Final Assessment: We provide a detailed report of our findings and recommendations for any necessary repairs or maintenance.
When to Schedule Chimney Sweep Services
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends that chimneys, fireplaces, and vents be inspected at least once per year. You should schedule a chimney sweep:
- Before the start of the heating season (typically early fall)
- After burning a cord of wood (approximately 128 cubic feet)
- When you notice any of the warning signs mentioned above
- When purchasing a new home with a fireplace
- After a chimney fire or other damage
Did You Know?
Creosote, the black, tar-like substance that builds up in chimneys, is highly flammable. Just 1/8 inch of creosote buildup is enough to cause a chimney fire that can spread to the rest of your home.
Chimney Maintenance in North Texas
The Dallas-Fort Worth climate presents unique challenges for chimney maintenance. Our occasional severe storms can damage chimney caps and create moisture issues, while our wildlife (including birds, squirrels, and raccoons) often seek shelter in neglected chimneys.
Additionally, many historic homes in neighborhoods like Lakewood in Dallas, Ryan Place in Fort Worth, and throughout the metroplex have older masonry chimneys that require special care and maintenance. AirDuctz technicians are experienced with all types of DFW chimney systems.
