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 Georgetown
A chimney sweep in Georgetown typically costs $189 to $349 for a standard cleaning with a Level 1 inspection, and most appointments run 60 to 90 minutes. We schedule Georgetown jobs Tuesday through Saturday, with our Cedar Park based crews reaching most Georgetown neighborhoods within 30 to 45 minutes. If you live in Sun City, downtown off the Square, or the west side subdivisions along Williams Drive, call (855) 507-9184 and we’ll get you on the calendar, usually within the same week.
Why Ashton Chimney Is Georgetown’s Preferred Chimney Sweep Company
Georgetown homeowners call us because we treat a chimney as a system, not a hole to run a brush through. Nolan Pruett built Ashton Chimney around a straightforward idea: one company should handle the sweep, the inspection, and any repair the inspection turns up. No hand off to a separate contractor. No second truck. No second opinion from someone who never saw the flue.
That matters here because Georgetown’s housing stock splits into two very different chimney profiles. The downtown Victorian and early-1900s homes around the Square have original brick fireplaces with clay tile liners that are 80 to 120 years old. Sun City and the newer west side have 1990s and 2000s ranch homes with factory built metal fireboxes and prefab chimney systems. Both need annual attention, but the way we inspect and clean each is different, and the repair paths are completely different. A company that treats them the same is cutting corners on one of them.
Our Chimney Sweep crews carry HeatShield, DuraFlex, and Famco parts on the truck, so when we find a damaged firebox panel or a weathered chase cover, we usually fix it the same visit instead of scheduling a return trip. That’s a real difference for Georgetown residents who are home all day, and prefer one appointment to two.
Styles & brands we work with
Chimney Sweep Certified in Georgetown
Chimney Sweep Certified work in Georgetown means a full mechanical brushing of the flue from firebox to cap, removal of creosote and soot, a Level 1 visual inspection of the firebox, damper, and accessible flue, and a written report with photos so you can see what we saw. In Georgetown’s climate, with long dry summers and intermittent freeze cycles, creosote hardens into a glaze that a basic sweep will not fully remove on its own. We carry the tools and the time budget to do the job properly the first visit.
Annual Sweep With Camera Inspection
A standard annual sweep in Georgetown runs $189 to $279. We include a camera inspection of the flue at no extra charge on every sweep, because a brush alone will not show you spalling brick in a downtown masonry chimney or a cracked prefab panel in Sun City. You should see the inside of your flue before anyone asks you to spend money on it.
Creosote and Soot Removal
Third-degree glazed creosote is common in Georgetown fireplaces that get burned hot in short bursts then sit idle for weeks. That cycle bakes creosote onto the flue walls. Removing it costs $249 to $349 when it requires rotary chain or chemical treatment, which is the range most Georgetown homeowners with active wood burning fireplaces should expect.
Gas Fireplace Cleaning in Georgetown
Gas Fireplace Cleaning in Georgetown costs $149 to $249 and is something many residents skip because they assume a gas log set doesn’t produce creosote. That’s true, but gas fireplaces still generate soot that coats the logs, the glass, and the burner ports. The bigger issue in Georgetown is venting. A gas fireplace that isn’t venting correctly puts carbon monoxide into a house, and if you’re home all day, that’s not a minor inconvenience. It’s a measurable health risk.
Log Set, Glass, and Burner Cleaning
We remove the gas logs, clean the burner ports with compressed air and a soft brush, wipe the interior firebox, and clean the glass with a non abrasive ceramic glass cleaner. This takes about 45 minutes and is usually the difference between a fireplace that lights on the first try and one that clicks and clicks. Georgetown’s hard water and dust leave a film on gas glass that a standard household cleaner will scratch, so we use the right stuff.
Vent Check and Carbon Monoxide Safety
We test for proper draft on every gas fireplace service and inspect the vent termination outside. In Sun City Texas, where the original chase covers and caps from the 1990s and early 2000s have weathered in the Texas sun, a blocked or corroded vent termination is a common finding. We check it every time. If it needs replacement, we carry Copperfield and Famco caps on the truck.
Trusted Brands We Service in Georgetown
We install and service components from Copperfield, DuraFlex, HeatShield, and Famco, the same professional trade brands chimney supply houses sell to working sweeps. That’s not a marketing line. It means when your Sun City prefab firebox needs a replacement panel, we use a Famco part rated for that specific unit, not whatever generic substitute is on the shelf at the hardware store. When a Georgetown flue needs a liner, we quote DuraFlex stainless or a HeatShield resurfacing, and we tell you exactly why one makes more sense than the other for your chimney. No mystery parts. No mystery materials. For our Georgetown customers, that specificity matters.

AfterCommon Chimney Sweep Problems We See in Georgetown Homes
- Weathered chase covers and missing caps in Sun City. The original 1990s era covers have corroded from decades of Texas sun and rain, and without a proper cap, birds and squirrels move in. We’ve pulled fully furnished squirrel nests from flues in 78633 more times than we can count.
- Deteriorated clay tile liners in downtown masonry chimneys. Georgetown’s Victorian farmhouses and early-1900s bungalows often have original clay tiles that have cracked from heat cycling and moisture. A basic sweep won’t fix this, and a Level 2 inspection is the only way to know if the liner has failed.
- Gas log sets that haven’t been serviced in years. Homeowners in Sun City often assume gas means no maintenance. The burner ports clog, the glass fogs, and the vent gets obstructed. We find this pattern constantly in 55+ communities where the fireplace runs every evening through the cooler months.
- Bird, squirrel, and wasp nests after the summer. Georgetown’s long dry season means chimneys sit unused from May through October. Anything that wants to nest has six months of open access. When the first cold snap hits, the smell and the smoke are the first clues.

FAQs About Chimney Sweep in Georgetown
Yes. Gas fireplaces vent carbon monoxide, and a blocked or corroded vent termination is a safety issue regardless of how often you burn. We also see clogged burner ports and soot coated glass in gas fireplaces that are used lightly but never serviced. An annual gas fireplace cleaning with a vent check costs $149 to $199, and it’s the single most important safety service for homes where people are home all day. Call (855) 507-9184 to schedule.
Every year if you burn wood, even occasionally. The original clay tile liners in Georgetown’s Victorian and early-1900s homes are fragile, and hairline cracks let heat reach the surrounding brick and framing. An annual sweep with our included camera inspection ($189 to $279) lets us track a liner over time, so we catch a failure before it becomes a fire or a carbon monoxide problem.
Book a sweep and inspect the cap before you leave. The single most common thing we find when seasonal Georgetown residents return is a bird or squirrel nest in an open flue, because the original cap weathered away during the summer. A pre departure sweep and cap check takes about an hour, and it means you’re not dealing with a dead animal or a smoke filled living room on the first cold night back. Call (855) 507-9184 and we’ll handle it before you go.
Yes. We service factory built fireplaces and prefab chimney systems every week in Georgetown. We carry Famco replacement panels and Copperfield chase covers and caps, so when we find a cracked firebox panel or a rusted chase cover, we fix it the same visit in most cases. We also perform Level 2 inspections on prefab systems, which is important because a damaged prefab panel is a structural and fire safety issue, not just a cosmetic one.
Not much. A standard sweep takes 60 to 90 minutes, and we lay drop cloths from the front door to the fireplace. We need a few feet of clear space around the hearth, but you can go about your day. We’ll walk you through the camera footage when we’re done if you’d like to see it, and then we’ll leave the house as clean as we found it. If you’re in 78633, we schedule most appointments between 9 and 4, and we’ll give you a 30 minute arrival window.
