Chimney sweep logs do not sweep chimneys. They loosen some creosote - which then falls where a brush and vacuum still have to collect it.
Chimney Company in Georgetown, TX
Chimney repair in Georgetown usually means one of two jobs: restoring an original clay tile flue in a 1900s downtown home, or replacing a cracked prefab firebox panel in a Sun City Texas ranch built in the 1990s. Both are common here, and both need a specialist who can tell the difference. Ashton Chimney has served Georgetown since 2014 with full-service chimney repair, sweeping, and dryer vent cleaning. Call (855) 507-9184 for a free estimate.
Why Georgetown Homes Are Different
Georgetown’s split housing stock changes what we look for on every job. Downtown around the Square, the Victorian and early-1900s masonry homes still run original brick fireplaces with clay tile liners. Those liners absorb decades of moisture and heat cycling, and by the time we’re called, many have spalled or cracked in ways a basic sweep won’t catch. A few miles west into Sun City Texas, the story flips: 1990s-era factory-built metal fireboxes sit behind chase covers that have weathered through twenty-plus Central Texas summers, and the prefab chimney systems need real inspection, not just a brushing.
Climate plays a role too. Georgetown’s long dry summers let creosote harden inside flues that sit idle for months, while our occasional hard freezes stress masonry crowns and flashing. Birds, squirrels, and wasps move into uncapped flues every spring. The result: fall is the critical season here. Homeowners who book an inspection in October catch problems before the first fire, while those who wait until December are often looking at repairs that could have been smaller in September.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Georgetown Services
Most Georgetown homeowners call Ashton Chimney first for a sweep or a dryer vent cleaning, and many of those calls turn into repair work once we inspect what’s actually inside the flue or vent.
Chimney Sweep in Georgetown
A chimney sweep in Georgetown starts with the flue, not the fireplace. In downtown’s older homes, we’re checking clay tile liners for cracks and moisture damage before we ever touch a brush. In Sun City and the west-side subdivisions, we’re pulling chase covers to inspect prefab systems that haven’t been opened in years. Creosote behaves differently in each, and so does the cleaning approach. For the full scope of what a sweep includes and why it matters here, see our Chimney Sweep in Georgetown page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Georgetown
Georgetown’s dry summers fill dryer vents with lint faster than homeowners expect, and a clogged vent is a fire hazard that has nothing to do with your fireplace. We clean dryer vents in every Georgetown neighborhood, from 78626 to 78633, with the same camera verification we use on chimneys. It’s a separate system, but it deserves the same level of care. For details on signs, frequency, and what we find in Georgetown vents, visit our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Georgetown page.

Chimney Repair in Georgetown
Chimney repair in Georgetown splits along the same line as the housing stock. Downtown, we’re rebuilding chimney crowns and replacing flashing on homes where the original masonry has been exposed to Central Texas weather for a century or more. In Sun City Texas and the newer west-side subdivisions, we’re more often replacing cracked firebox panels, installing new caps, or relining flues where a 1990s-era prefab system has reached the end of its service life. The common thread is that Georgetown’s climate accelerates both: hard freezes crack crowns and flashing, while long dry summers bake every component on the roof. Ashton Chimney handles the full scope of Chimney Repair work, from minor cap replacements to full flue relining with DuraFlex stainless systems.
Chimney Cap Installation
Signs you need it
You hear birds or animals in the flue, see water streaks on the firebox walls after rain, or find rust flakes falling into the fireplace.
What it costs in Georgetown
Chimney cap installation in Georgetown typically runs $230 to $460 depending on flue size and roof access.
How we do it
We measure the flue, install a Copperfield or Gelco cap sized for your specific chimney, and secure it so birds, squirrels, and rain stay out.
Chimney Crown Repair
Signs you need it
You see cracks in the concrete surface at the top of the chimney, or notice water staining on the ceiling near the fireplace after heavy rain.
What it costs in Georgetown
Chimney crown repair in Georgetown typically ranges from $300 to $640 depending on crack severity and crown size.
How we do it
We clean the existing crown, fill and seal cracks with a professional-grade crown coat, and reshape the surface so water sheds away from the flue instead of pooling.
Chimney Flashing Repair
Signs you need it
Water stains appear on the ceiling or walls around the chimney after rain, or you can see gaps and lifted metal where the chimney meets the roofline.
What it costs in Georgetown
Chimney flashing repair in Georgetown typically costs $220 to $520 depending on how many sides of the chimney need work and roof pitch.
How we do it
We inspect the existing flashing, remove and replace damaged sections, and seal the transitions so water runs off the roof instead of behind the flashing and into your ceiling.
What Chimney Repair Costs in Georgetown
| Item | Typical range in Georgetown |
|---|---|
| Chimney cap installation | $230 – $460 |
| Chimney crown repair | $300 – $640 |
| Chimney flashing repair | $220 – $520 |
Do I need a chimney liner replaced or can it be repaired?
Many Georgetown flues can be restored with HeatShield resurfacing rather than full replacement, especially downtown clay tile liners with minor cracking. If the liner has separated or the damage is extensive, a DuraFlex stainless liner is the better path. We’ll show you camera footage either way.
How often should a chimney be inspected in Georgetown?
Georgetown’s freeze-thaw cycles and long idle summers mean once a year is the right interval, ideally in early fall before the first burn. If you use your fireplace weekly in winter, book the sweep and inspection together. Call (855) 507-9184 to schedule.

What Georgetown Customers Say
"Creosote buildup was worse than I realized. He measured it, showed me the glazing on the flue with the camera, and was honest that we were closer to a chimney fire than I wanted to hear."
— Dustin Whitaker"Thorough sweep and a clear report. He was running late from the job before and arrived near the end of the window, though he did call to warn me."
— Cole Doyle"Crown was cracked and taking water. Repaired it rather than quoting a rebuild, which the previous company had pushed hard for."
— Tyrone Ingram
