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 Sweep Certified in Wichita Falls
A Chimney Sweep Certified service in Wichita Falls goes well beyond running a brush up the flue. It means a full inspection of the firebox, smoke chamber, damper, and flue liner, plus a check of the exterior crown and stack. You need this annually if you burn wood, and it’s essential before the next heating season if your chimney sat idle all summer.
A standard sweep with a Level 1 inspection typically runs $150 – $250 in Wichita Falls. A Level 2 inspection, which adds a video camera scan of the flue, usually runs $250 – $450. If creosote has built up into a hard glaze, chemical removal or rotary cleaning adds cost. The written estimate sets the final price, and we’ll show you what we found before we recommend anything further.
What a Standard Sweep Covers
We brush the flue, clear soot and creosote from the firebox and smoke chamber, and check the damper for proper operation. Then we inspect the crown, flashing, and mortar for signs of water intrusion or cracking before we leave.
When You Need a Level 2 Inspection
A Level 2 inspection is called for after a chimney fire, after a major repair, or when you’ve just moved into a home with an unfamiliar history. It’s also the right call if you burned green or treated wood during an ice-storm power outage, since the creosote that leaves behind can hide serious liner damage.
Gas Fireplace Cleaning in Wichita Falls
Gas Fireplace Cleaning in Wichita Falls is a different job than a wood-burning sweep, and it’s one many homeowners skip until something smells wrong. Gas logs and inserts still produce soot, dust, and debris in the firebox and venting. We inspect the burner, clear blockages, check the venting, and make sure the unit is venting safely before we call it clean.
Gas fireplace cleaning in Wichita Falls typically runs $125 – $225 depending on the unit’s condition and venting setup. If the glass is clouded, the logs are sooted, or the flame burns unevenly, it’s time. The written estimate sets the final price.
Why Gas Units Still Need Attention
A gas fireplace can vent carbon monoxide if the flue or venting is blocked or damaged. That’s the reason to have it inspected, not just wiped down.
Signs It’s Time for a Cleaning
Uneven flames, a sooty smell when the unit runs, or visible buildup on the glass all point to a cleaning and inspection. Don’t ignore them.
Trusted Brands We Service in Wichita Falls
We work with components from Olympia Chimney, Famco, Gelco, and HeatShield because these are the brands certified chimney professionals trust. We don’t stock parts on trucks or carry local inventory, but we source what your job needs quickly from professional chimney trade suppliers. That means fast turnaround when a liner, cap, or ventilation component has to be replaced. Whether your system is an older masonry unit or an insert paired with a prefab vent, we know how these brands perform and how to fit them correctly.

AfterCommon Chimney Sweep Problems We See in Wichita Falls Homes
- Shared stacks with cross-contamination. Wichita Falls’ mid-century boom housing often packs multiple flues into a single masonry stack. Cracks in the common wall between flues can let a neighbor’s furnace or water heater exhaust leak into your fireplace’s smoke chamber, creating a carbon monoxide risk a simple brush misses.
- Third-degree glazed creosote. When ice storms knock out power for days, homeowners burn whatever wood is at hand, often green or treated lumber. That produces hard, glazed creosote a standard brush can’t remove and raises chimney fire risk the next time you light a fire.
- Cracked crowns and freeze-thaw damage. Plains winters bring hard freezes that spall mortar and crack chimney crowns. Left unchecked, water gets into the firebox and ruins it.
- Original clay flue tiles in older homes. Many houses near downtown still have their original, decades-old flue liners, which have cracked or been poorly re-lined over the years and need real evaluation before another burn season.
Pricing for Chimney Sweep in Wichita Falls, TX
We give honest, written estimates before any work begins. A standard sweep with a Level 1 inspection runs $150 – $250. A Level 2 inspection with camera scan runs $250 – $450. Creosote removal, if it’s heavy or glazed, adds to the base cost. Liner installation with DuraFlex flexible liner systems runs substantially more, and HeatShield flue resurfacing is priced per job once we’ve seen the liner condition.
What affects cost: flue size and access, creosote severity, whether a second flue needs inspection, and any repair found during the sweep. Our estimates are free. Call (855) 705-9859. We answer 24/7.

FAQs About Chimney Sweep in Wichita Falls
Yes, and this is a check a routine sweep should include in shared-stack housing. We inspect the common wall between flues for cracks that could allow a neighbor’s gas appliance exhaust to migrate into your fireplace’s smoke chamber. Call (855) 705-9859 for an exact quote on an inspection – estimates are free.
Sweep annually, and add a sweep after any winter where you burned through a power outage. Emergency heating with green or treated wood builds heavy creosote fast, and once the ice melts that creosote needs to come out before the next fire. Call (855) 705-9859 to book.
First-degree creosote is light soot a brush removes easily; third-degree is a hard, glazed layer a standard brush can’t touch. After a Wichita Falls ice storm, green wood often produces third-degree creosote, which requires chemical re-lining or rotary cleaning. Call us for a quote on removal.
Yes. Gas fireplaces need cleaning and venting checks too, and we handle both. Soot, dust, and debris build up in the firebox and venting just like a wood unit. Call (855) 705-9859 for an exact quote.
