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 Highland Village
If you’re searching for a chimney sweep in Highland Village, here’s the short version: we clean, inspect, and repair the full system, and a typical sweep and Level 1 inspection in Highland Village runs about $180 to $340. We connect Highland Village homeowners with independent local chimney professionals who work the same materials chimney engineers specify, from DuraFlex flexible liners to HeatShield flue resurfacing. Most of the homes we’re called to along Highland Shores and the Lakeside area have more than one fireplace and more than one flue, which changes what a “sweep” actually means. Call (888) 424-2086 to book a visit.
Why Highland Village Homeowners Call Lewisville Chimney Sweep for Chimney Sweep
Highland Village is a community of larger custom homes, and that shapes our reputation here more than any marketing ever could. When a house has two or three fireplaces, a gas insert, and exterior masonry chimneys on a prefab metal firebox, a basic brush-out doesn’t cover it. We build the visit around the whole system.
The work is sweep-to-repair in one visit. We sweep, we inspect, and if a cap is loose or a crown is cracked we can fix it without sending you to a second contractor. Our technicians have up to 14 years of experience, and they know the difference between a flue that needs a DuraFlex stainless liner and one that a HeatShield resurfacing will bring back to draft. That kind of judgment comes from the brands we work with daily, not from a generic checklist.
Response time to Highland Village stays steady because we’re serving a compact stretch of the north shore along the lake, not a sprawling metro. We answer 24/7. Fast dispatch from 7am to 7pm.

Fireplace Cleaning in Highland Village
Fireplace Cleaning in Highland Village often looks different from what homeowners expect. In many of these brick-veneer custom homes, the fireplace sits idle for a year or two while a gas log set goes unlit, so there’s little soot to speak of and a lot to inspect. What we actually clean is the firebox, damper, smoke chamber, and the flue interior for the specific appliance it serves, then we document what we saw with photos you can look at yourself. A fireplace cleaning in Highland Village typically runs $150 to $300, and the written estimate sets the final price.
What a Cleaning Visit Covers
We brush and vacuum the firebox and flue for the appliance in use, clear ash and debris from the smoke shelf, check that the damper opens and seats properly, and confirm the cap is intact. For gas log sets we check the log placement and the burner area without disturbing the assembly. If we find a nest or a loose cap, that gets noted as a repair item.
When to Schedule a Cleaning
Spring and fall are the right windows here. Highland Village’s mild, short winters mean fireplaces sit idle for months, and that idle stretch is when birds, squirrels, and wasps move into caps and flues. A cleaning before the burning season starts catches that before it becomes a problem.
Chimney Services in Highland Village
Chimney Services in Highland Village cover far more than sweeping, and that’s deliberate. We offer Level 1 and Level 2 inspections as standalone services, creosote removal, soot removal, annual sweeps, fireplace cleaning, and repairs, all from the same roster of professionals. A Level 1 inspection in Highland Village typically runs $100 to $200 and a Level 2 inspection $200 to $450, depending on how many flues your home has and whether a camera run is needed. Because inspections are bookable on their own, you’re never paying for a cleaning just to get a look at the flue.
Inspection Levels Explained
A Level 1 covers what’s visible without special tools: the firebox, damper, and accessible flue. A Level 2 adds a camera into the flue and inspects the chimney exterior, which is what we reach for when a liner is suspect or a home has changed hands. We tell you which level fits the question you’re asking.
Repair Work Done In-House
Cracked crowns, loose caps, spalling mortar joints, and disconnected liners all get addressed during the repair visit, so you don’t coordinate between contractors. A DuraFlex flexible liner system handles an undersized or damaged flue, and an Olympia Chimney component goes in only where the manufacturer specs call for it.
Trusted Brands We Service in Highland Village
We work with professional-supply brands because the materials matter more than the pitch. DuraFlex flexible liner systems cover damaged or undersized flues. HeatShield gives us ceramic flue resurfacing capability, which restores draft without a full liner replacement. Gelco and Olympia Chimney supply the components that hold a system together over time. We don’t claim a manufacturer partnership, and we don’t keep parts on hand. What we do is spec the right material for what the inspection finds, and turn around repairs quickly because we’re not ordering blind. For Highland Village homes with factory-built flues, the brand and model matter, and we read them before recommending anything.

AfterCommon Chimney Sweep Problems We See in Highland Village Homes
- Nests in the cap and smoke chamber. The dominant call in 75077 is a homeowner who hasn’t burned a fire in two years hearing scratching in the flue. It’s usually a bird, squirrel, or wasp nest, not a creosote problem. A qualified sweep clears it and checks the cap fit.
- Second and third flues left unchecked. A multi-flue masonry chimney often gets one flue looked at while an idle flue hides a nest or a disconnected liner. Every flue your home has gets its own inspection.
- Crown cracks from hail and wind. North Texas spring hail and high winds crack exterior chimney crowns and loosen caps on Highland Village’s brick-veneer chimneys. The damage usually isn’t discovered until the next inspection season.
- Gas logs assumed to need no service. Homeowners think a gas log fireplace doesn’t need an annual inspection because there’s no visible soot. A loose cap or cracked crown then goes unnoticed until water or animals get in.
Pricing for Chimney Sweep in Highland Village, TX
A chimney sweep in Highland Village typically runs $180 to $340, which usually includes the sweep and a Level 1 inspection together. A Level 2 inspection runs $200 to $450 when a camera is needed. Creosote removal and soot removal land in similar territory to a standard sweep, while repair costs depend on the scope: a cap replacement sits at the low end, and a flexible liner installation runs much higher, with a written estimate set before any work begins. What moves the number is the number of flues, whether a camera is required, and whether repair work is needed. Estimates are free, and nothing is recommended without camera evidence you can see for yourself.

FAQs About Chimney Sweep in Highland Village
Yes. An inspection is most valuable in a home that rarely burns, because the idle months are when caps loosen, crowns crack, and animals nest. A standalone Level 1 inspection in Highland Village typically runs $100 to $200. Call (888) 424-2086 for an exact quote, and estimates are free.
It’s almost always an animal nest built into a loose or missing chimney cap or dropped into an open smoke chamber. Birds, squirrels, and wasps all move into idle flues here. A sweep clears it, checks the damper and cap fit, and tells you whether a liner or crown repair follows. Call (888) 424-2086 to book a look.
Yes, but it needs a manufacturer-specific inspection rather than a standard wood-fire brush-out. Gas log sets and factory-built flues are what most Highland Village homes actually have, and we service them from the brand and model the flue carries. Call (888) 424-2086 for a free estimate.
Every one of them. A house with two or three fireplaces has that many flues, and an idle flue can hide a nest or a disconnected liner that the working fireplace never reveals. Each flue gets its own inspection. Call (888) 424-2086 to book an exact quote.
Spring hail and high winds are the usual cause, landing on exterior masonry chimneys and loosening caps at the same time. The crack often stays hidden until the next inspection season. If a crown needs attention, our team can assess and repair it in the same visit. Call (888) 424-2086 to schedule.
If your Highland Village home has more than one fireplace, a gas insert, or a flue you haven’t looked at in a while, the right first step is an inspection you can see for yourself, not a repair bill. We sweep, inspect, and repair the full system, and the price is set by a written estimate before any work begins. Call (888) 424-2086 for a free estimate. We answer 24/7. Fast dispatch from 7am to 7pm.
