Chimney Sweep in Wichita Falls - Flat-Price Sweep, Photo Report Included

Trusted Chimney Sweep for Wichita Falls Homeowners

A dirty flue is a slow-building fire risk, and in Wichita Falls a lot of fireplaces sit half the year before anyone thinks to look up the chimney. Our technicians have up to 15 years of experience, and we come out, put a camera in the flue, sweep what needs sweeping, and show you the photos before we recommend anything. If it’s clean, we tell you it’s clean. If a tile liner is cracked or creosote has glazed onto the walls, you’ll see that too, in the image, not just our word for it.

Call (855) 705-9859

We handle sweeps and repairs with the same trained technician, so a problem found mid-sweep is a problem solved on the same visit rather than a second appointment weeks out. Call (855) 705-9859 for an estimate. We answer 24/7, and fast dispatch runs from 7am to 7pm, Sunday through Friday.

Chimney Sweep Services

Chimney Sweep Services from Lionheart Chimney Sweep cover the whole flue, not just the firebox floor: a full brush and vacuum of the flue, a check of the cap and damper, and a camera look at the liner from top to bottom. You need this once a year if you burn regularly, and more often if you’re burning green or unseasoned wood that leaves heavy creosote. In Wichita Falls, where a wood fire runs hard through the cooler months, an annual sweep keeps the flue clear before the next burning season starts. A standard sweep typically runs $150-$280 depending on flue length and how much buildup there is, and any repair work is quoted separately in writing before we touch a thing.

What a Full Sweep Covers

We brush the flue with the right size brush for your liner, run a HEPA vacuum to catch the dust so your living room stays clean, and check the smoke chamber, damper, and cap while we’re up there. You get a photo report of what we found.

Best Time to Book

Late summer and early fall are the busiest stretch, so booking before the first cool snap means your flue is ready when you want to light a fire. A sweep done in spring works just as well for cleaning up after a heavy burning season.

Chimney Cleaning

Chimney Cleaning is the deeper version of a sweep, aimed at the sticky, glazed creosote that a standard brush won’t fully remove. When wood burns cool or wet, the residue hardens into a tar-like coating on the flue walls, and that coating is what feeds a chimney fire once it ignites. If a sweep turns up glazed deposits, we say so and explain what it takes to clean them properly. That kind of cleaning typically runs $200-$420 depending on how much of the flue is affected. We don’t skip the hard parts to keep a job short.

Reading the Creosote

Creosote comes in stages, from light soot to a hard glaze. The stage matters: light soot brushes away, while stage-three glaze resists ordinary brushing and needs a different approach to break it down safely.

Cleaning Around a Stove

Wood stoves and inserts collect creosote in a different pattern than an open fireplace, and the flue pipe joints need checking as we clean. We account for that so the whole run gets attention, not just the firebox.

Fireplace Cleaning

Fireplace Cleaning handles the firebox itself: soot on the walls, ash in the pit, the damper, the grate, and the masonry around the opening. It’s what you want when the fireplace works fine but the firebox looks like a chimney, and it pairs naturally with a flue sweep so the whole system gets cleaned at once. A fireplace clean typically runs $120-$220 when done alongside a sweep. In Wichita Falls homes with a well-used hearth, this is the job that makes the fireplace look and smell like it should.

The Firebox and Damper

Soot on the firebox walls and a sticking damper are the two things we notice first. A damper that doesn’t sit right can let heat and smoke where it shouldn’t go, so we check its swing as part of the clean.

What We Keep Off Your Furniture

Drop cloths go down before any brush comes out, and the vacuum runs the whole time. A fireplace should be cleaner when we leave than when we arrived, and we treat that as part of the work.

Chimney Services

Chimney Services with Lionheart Chimney Sweep go past cleaning into repair: crown work, flashing, cap replacement, liner installation, and flue resurfacing. If the camera shows a cracked tile liner or a crown that’s letting water into the masonry, we can fix it on the same visit rather than sending you to a subcontractor. We install DuraFlex stainless flexible liner systems and apply HeatShield ceramic resurfacing for deteriorated tile, using materials sourced from professional chimney trade suppliers. Repair pricing depends on scope, and we quote it in writing before any work begins.

Repair on the Same Visit

We repair what we find, so a sweep that turns up a cracked liner doesn’t turn into a second appointment weeks later. The technician who swept your flue is the one who fixes it.

Caps and Crowns

The cap keeps rain, birds, and animals out of the flue, and the crown sheds water off the top of the chimney. Both wear, and both are inexpensive compared with what water damage costs.

Chimney Sweep Certified

Chimney Sweep Certified means the technician who shows up knows the standards that keep a sweep safe and thorough, from the right brush for the liner to recognizing the signs of a failing flue. Our technicians have up to 15 years of experience, and we hold our work to a standard we call the Lionheart standard: a camera inspection and a photo report with every sweep, so you can see what we saw. We source from professional chimney trade suppliers like Olympia Chimney and Copperfield rather than a hardware store aisle, because the parts going into a fire-safety system shouldn’t be the cheapest thing on the shelf.

Why Sourcing Matters

A liner or cap pulled from a big-box shelf may fit, but fit isn’t the same as rating. The components we install come from suppliers who deal exclusively in chimney systems.

Proof in the Photo Report

You shouldn’t have to take a sweep’s word that your flue is cracked or clean. The camera images go to you, and you decide with real evidence in front of you.

Gas Fireplace Cleaning

Gas Fireplace Cleaning covers a system that doesn’t make creosote but still gets dirty: soot on the logs and glass, dust and debris in the burner, and a vent that can collect lint and spider webs over time. It’s easy to forget because there’s no wood smoke, but a gas insert still needs a yearly look to make sure the vent is clear and the burner is burning clean. Cleaning a gas fireplace typically runs $130-$240. We check the vent termination and the combustion path and tell you plainly if anything is off.

The Vent Still Needs a Look

Gas fireplaces vent outside, and that termination can clog with lint, debris, or a nest. A blocked gas vent is a carbon monoxide concern, which is why we check it every visit.

Glass and Burner Media

Black film on the glass and dust in the ember bed are normal over time. Cleaning them brings back the flame picture and lets us see whether the burner is burning the way it should.

Chimney Maintenance

Chimney Maintenance is the once-a-year check that keeps a flue from turning into a problem between sweeps: the cap stays secure, the crown doesn’t crack, the flashing seals tight, and the liner holds. In Wichita Falls, where summer storms throw rain against the chimney and cool-season fires work the flue hard, a yearly check catches small wear before it gets expensive. A maintenance visit typically runs $150-$280, and if we find something, we quote the repair in writing before we do it. Nothing is recommended without a photo you can look at yourself.

The Annual Check

We look at the parts you never see: the crown at the top, the flashing where the chimney meets the roof, and the full length of the liner. Most problems start at the top and work down.

When Work Can Wait

Not everything we find is urgent, and we say so when it’s not. If a repair can safely wait until the off-season, we tell you that plainly instead of pushing it now.

Brands We Service

We work with DuraFlex flexible liner systems and know where that stainless liner wears and how it should be seated, so a liner install or a liner check is familiar ground for us. We also service Olympia Chimney components and Famco and Copperfield venting parts, and we know how those systems come apart and go back together correctly.

The point isn’t the logo on the box. It’s knowing how each system is built so a sweep or repair accounts for the actual flue in front of us. Whether you have a DuraFlex liner or any other make, we can help.

Signs You Need a Pro Right Now

• A strong, sharp smell from the fireplace. A chemical or tar-like odor often means glazed creosote is building up in the flue. That buildup is what fuels a chimney fire, so it’s worth a look before the next burn.
• Smoke rolling back into the room. A backdraft or a clogged flue can push smoke where it shouldn’t go. It usually points to a blockage, a damper problem, or a venting issue a sweep can diagnose.
• A visible crack in the firebox or flue tiles. Cracks let heat and gases reach places they shouldn’t, and carbon monoxide can find its way into the home. A camera inspection tells you how serious it is.
• Water stains or crumbling masonry on the chimney. A failing crown or flashing lets rain into the masonry, and damage spreads with each storm. Catching it early keeps the repair small.
• It’s been more than a year since the last sweep. Creosote builds whether you notice it or not, and a once-a-year check is the simplest way to stay ahead of it.

Our Process, Step by Step

1. 1
   Book the visit. You tell us what you’re seeing and we set a time. Call (855) 705-9859. We answer 24/7, and fast dispatch runs from 7am to 7pm, Sunday through Friday.
2. 2
   Protect the room. Drop cloths go down and a HEPA vacuum comes out before any brush does. Keeping the dust contained is part of the job, not an afterthought.
3. 3
   Sweep the flue. We brush the full length of the flue with the right brush for your liner, then clean the firebox, damper, and smoke chamber.
4. 4
   Inspect with the camera. A camera goes up the flue to check the liner, cap, and crown, inspecting the parts no one sees from the hearth. The images are saved for your report.
5. 5
   Show you the findings. You get the photo report and a plain explanation of what’s clean and what needs work, plus a written quote for any repair. You decide from there.
