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 Andrews, TX
Chimney inspection in Andrews starts with one honest question: what’s actually inside the flue after nine months of sitting idle? This is Permian Basin country, where fireplaces go unused through the long hot stretch and then get fired up overnight when a blue norther drops temperatures 40 degrees. Andrews housing is a mix of mid-century ranch homes from the oil boom and manufactured homes on the outskirts, many with factory-built fireplaces that need a different approach than masonry. We cover the full chain: sweep, repair, and inspection under one roof. Call (833) 486-7503 to book.
Why Andrews Homes Are Different
The single biggest factor in Andrews chimney work is the dormant stretch. A fireplace here can sit cold through the hottest months, then get used hard for a few weeks when the first real cold front rolls through. That pattern leaves technicians finding bird nests, dust-packed screens, and cracked flue tiles before the first burn of the season more often than you’d expect in a milder climate.
The caliche dust and West Texas grit that blow constantly here find their way into caps, screens, and flues between burn seasons. Combined with creosote from short, hot burns, that grit packs into a dense layer that doesn’t sweep out the way a long-burning fire’s deposit does. Dry air and low humidity mean creosote cures hard, and the same dryness lets hairline cracks in flue tiles open up over time.
Housing stock changes the job too. Mid-century and 1960s-70s ranch homes built during the oil boom have masonry chimneys that need traditional sweeping and tile inspection. The large stock of manufactured and modular homes around Andrews often has factory-built or prefab fireplaces and wood-burning stoves, which means specialized inspection rather than a standard masonry sweep. A company that only knows one type will miss what’s actually wrong with the other.

Our Main Andrews Services
Most Andrews homeowners call us about two things: a sweep before the cold snaps hit, and a repair when the sweep turns up something that needs fixing.
Chimney Sweep in Andrews
A sweep here means removing the hard, grit-mixed creosote that builds up from occasional hot burns, then checking the cap and screen for the caliche dust that clogs them through the off season. On factory-built units out toward the edges of town, the brush and rods have to match the flue type or you risk damaging the liner. We book a chimney sweep and set a flat price before we start, so you know the number before anyone gets on the roof. The sweep comes with a camera check and photo report, because a clean flue you can see is worth more than a claim that it’s clean.
Chimney Repair in Andrews
Repairs in Andrews tend to cluster around two problems: cracked flue tiles from the dry-air cycle of heating and cooling, and moisture getting past a failing cap. We work with DuraFlex liner systems and Olympia Chimney components, and because we can reline during a repair visit, a job that would normally be split into two appointments gets finished in one. HeatShield gives us the ability to resurface a damaged firebox in place. When a chimney repair is needed, it’s based on camera evidence you can look at yourself, and we’ll tell you plainly when something can safely wait.
Chimney Inspection in Andrews
Chimney inspection in Andrews is the foundation every other service rests on, and it’s especially important here because the long dormant season hides problems until the first cold snap forces them into view. A home built in the oil-boom decades may have flue tiles that cracked slowly through years of dry heat, while a manufactured home on the outskirts likely has a factory-built system where the joints and clearances matter more than the masonry. Either way, a proper Chimney Inspection tells you what’s actually there before anyone recommends work.
Fireplace Inspection
Signs you need it
You need a fireplace inspection if the firebox shows cracked brick, crumbling mortar, a warped damper, or smoke that drifts into the room instead of up the flue.
What it costs in Andrews
A fireplace inspection typically runs $99 to $175, and the written estimate sets the final price.
How we do it
We examine the firebox, damper, smoke chamber, and firebox-to-flue transition by hand and with a camera, then document what we find in a photo report.
Chimney Flue Inspection
Signs you need it
Book a flue inspection when you notice a strong creosote smell on warm days, dark staining on the exterior, or a draft that feels weak or uneven.
What it costs in Andrews
A flue inspection typically runs $99 to $175, with the written estimate setting the final figure.
How we do it
We run a camera down the full length of the flue to check for cracked tiles, gaps, creosote glaze, and obstructions, then show you the footage.
What Chimney Inspection Costs in Andrews
Inspection pricing here depends on the flue type and how much of the system needs to be seen. These are typical ranges, and the estimate we write sets the final price.
| Item | Typical range in Andrews |
|---|---|
| Standard chimney inspection | $99 – $175 |
| Level 2 camera inspection | $175 – $325 |
| Inspection with photo report | $99 – $175 |
Do I need a Level 2 chimney inspection in Andrews?
You need a Level 2 inspection if you’ve bought the home, changed the fuel type or appliance, or had a chimney fire. On Andrews homes that sat idle through the hot season, a camera inspection catches cracked tiles and nesting before the first burn.
How often should an Andrews chimney be inspected?
Once a year is the standard, and it matters more here because nine quiet months let problems develop unseen. Call (833) 486-7503 for an exact quote – estimates are free.
Brands We Service in Andrews
We work with professional-grade chimney supply brands: DuraFlex liner systems, HeatShield resurfacing, Gelco and Famco caps, and Olympia Chimney components. We don’t claim to stock parts locally, so turnaround on a specific brand component depends on what the job needs. See our brands for the full list.

What Andrews Customers Say
"Fireplace had never drawn properly since we moved in. He found the damper was only opening halfway due to a bent linkage and fixed it in ten minutes."
- Claudia Hernandez"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."
- Neil Novak"Level two inspection before we bought the house. The report was detailed enough to use as a negotiating point and he explained every photo in it."
- Xavier Jackson
