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 Pflugerville, TX
Chimney repair in Pflugerville usually means one of two jobs: bringing a builder-grade fireplace back to safe working order, or replacing components that have rotted in the Central Texas humidity. Most Pflugerville homes were built between the 1990s and 2010s, and their fireplaces lean decorative – prefab metal boxes with cheap dampers and caps that rust out faster than anyone expects. Ashton Chimney has served Pflugerville since 2014, and we handle the full repair scope: caps, crowns, flashing, and liners, using professional-grade materials, not off-the-shelf substitutes. Call (855) 507-9184 for a straight answer on what your chimney actually needs.
Why Pflugerville Homes Are Different
Pflugerville is a boomtown. Most of the housing stock went up in a wave between the mid-1990s and the mid-2010s, and the fireplaces those builders installed were often chosen for the model-home look rather than for regular burning. In subdivisions across 78660 and 78691, we routinely open fireboxes that still have the manufacturer’s sticker on the back wall and construction debris in the ash pit. The fireplace has literally never held a fire.
That changes the job. A first-time sweep in a newer Pflugerville home is as much inspection and education as it is cleaning. Homeowners want to know whether their fireplace is even safe to use, and the honest answer depends on what we find in the flue, the damper, and the firebox. In the older core around downtown Pflugerville, the picture is different: mid-century masonry chimneys that have seen decades of real fires, with the wear to show for it. Those jobs need a different treatment entirely, and we do both.
The climate plays a role too. Central Texas heat and humidity mean these chimneys sit dormant nine months of the year. Moisture gets into the chase, rust forms on dampers and caps, and nobody notices until the first cold snap of December or January. That first burn season rush is when most Pflugerville repair calls come in, and by then small problems have often had months to get worse.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Pflugerville Services
Most Pflugerville homeowners call us for one of two things: a chimney they want to use but have never had inspected, or a dryer vent that has gone too long without cleaning. Here is what each job involves here.
Chimney Sweep in Pflugerville
In Pflugerville, a sweep usually starts with a question: has this fireplace ever been burned? Many have not, and that changes how we approach the job. We remove any debris left from construction, inspect the flue and components for rust or damage from humidity, and clean what needs cleaning. If the fireplace is safe to use, you’ll know exactly how to run it. If it is not, you’ll get a plain-language report and options for repair. Chimney Sweep in Pflugerville covers the full process and what to expect.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Pflugerville
Your dryer vent is a venting system too, and in Pflugerville it is just as likely to cause a fire if neglected. Lint builds up in the duct, airflow drops, and the dryer works harder and hotter until something gives. We clean the full run from dryer to exterior termination, check the termination flap, and confirm the system is moving air the way it should. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Pflugerville explains how often to schedule and what we find in local homes.

Chimney Repair in Pflugerville
Chimney repair in Pflugerville often comes down to one pattern we see again and again: a prefab fireplace from the 2000s with a rusted damper, a cracked cap, or a chase cover that has been leaking for years. The humid climate accelerates every metal component, and because these fireplaces are rarely used, the damage goes unseen. Repair here usually means replacing the failed parts and restoring safe operation, not rebuilding the whole chimney. Call (855) 507-9184 with what you are seeing, and we will tell you whether it is urgent. For a fuller look at our repair scope, Chimney Repair covers the service line in depth.
Chimney Cap Installation
Signs you need it
Water staining on the ceiling near the fireplace, rust streaks inside the firebox, or a cap that is missing, crushed, or so corroded it no longer keeps rain out.
What it costs in Pflugerville
Expect to pay between $165 and $585 for a new cap, installed, depending on whether the cap is galvanized, stainless, or a custom-fit copper option.
How we do it
We measure the flue exactly, install a cap sized to the flue tile or pipe, and secure it so wind and wildlife cannot work it loose.
Chimney Liner Installation
Signs you need it
Flue tiles with cracks or gaps, a furnace or water heater venting into an unlined or damaged chimney, or a fireplace that drafts badly no matter what you try.
What it costs in Pflugerville
Stainless liner work typically runs $2,950 to $8,500 depending on the length, diameter, and whether insulation is required for the appliance.
How we do it
We run a DuraFlex stainless liner sized to your appliance, connect it at the top and bottom, and leave you with a properly rated venting path that meets current codes.
Chimney Flashing Repair
Signs you need it
Water staining on the walls or ceiling where the chimney meets the roofline, or visible gaps and lifted metal around the chimney base.
What it costs in Pflugerville
Flashing repair in Pflugerville typically runs $205 to $900 depending on how much of the flashing needs to be replaced and whether the roofline is steep.
How we do it
We remove the failed flashing, install new metal step and counter flashing sealed correctly against the chimney and roof, and test that the seal holds.
Chimney Crown Repair
Signs you need it
A cracked or spalling concrete cap at the top of a masonry chimney, or water in the firebox that traces back to the crown rather than the flashing.
What it costs in Pflugerville
Expect to pay $550 to $1,600 for crown repair or rebuild and seal, depending on the crown’s size and how much needs to be removed and re-formed.
How we do it
We grind away the failing material, pour a new crown with the proper overhang and drip edge, and seal it against Texas rain and humidity.
What Chimney Repair Costs in Pflugerville
| Item | Typical range in Pflugerville |
|---|---|
| Chimney cap installation | $165 – $585 |
| Chimney flashing repair | $205 – $900 |
| Chimney crown repair | $550 – $1,600 |
Those are the common repair jobs we quote in Pflugerville. Liner work runs higher because it is a bigger job with more material, but the range covers what most local homes actually need.
Do I really need a new liner if the old one has a small crack?
Not always. Some flue damage can be restored with HeatShield resurfacing, which is a code-compliant way to repair a damaged flue without defaulting to full liner replacement. We will only recommend replacement if the flue cannot be safely restored. Call (855) 507-9184 and we will walk you through what we are seeing.
How long does chimney repair take in Pflugerville?
Most cap, flashing, and crown work is done in one visit. A full liner installation can take a day or more depending on the chimney height and access. We schedule the job, confirm the scope upfront, and tell you what to expect before work begins.

We install and repair work using professional-grade materials from Olympia Chimney, Famco, Copperfield, and DuraFlex. These are the brands the chimney trade specifies, not hardware-store substitutes, and we name them so you know exactly what is going into your home.

Homes with steep rooflines or two-story chases take longer to access, and prefab fireplaces from the 2000s often have rusted components that add repair work on top of a basic sweep. Every quote is flat-price, agreed before work starts, so the number you approve is the number you pay.

What Pflugerville Customers Say
"Liner was cracked in two places. He walked me through the repair options honestly, including the one that was cheaper for him and better for me."
— Nisha Patel"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
