Level 1 sweep and inspection to the NFPA 211 annual standard - flue, crown, cap, and flashing checked and photographed
Chimney sweep logs do not sweep chimneys. They loosen some creosote - which then falls where a brush and vacuum still have to collect it.

AfterChimney Company in Cleveland, TX
Alcott Chimney Sweep is the chimney company Cleveland homeowners call when they want a straight answer on flue safety, a written price before work begins, and a technician they can verify before the door opens. Cleveland chimneys deal with heavy east Texas humidity, spring storm winds, and older brickwork that shifts with the clay soil, which means sweeping and inspection work here often uncovers things newer subdivisions never see. If you need a chimney sweep, inspection, or gas fireplace repair in Cleveland, call (336) 863-3889 and you’ll talk to a live person, not a voicemail tree.
Why Cleveland Homes Are Different
Cleveland sits on the edge of the Big Thicket, where sandy loam and clay mix under homes and keep brick chimneys moving through wet-dry cycles all year. That movement opens hairline cracks in mortar joints, and east Texas humidity does the rest. A chimney that looks fine from the driveway often has spalled brick at the crown and missing mortar at the roofline once we get a ladder up.
Most Cleveland chimneys serve wood-burning fireplaces, and the burning season here is shorter than up north but intense when it runs. Homeowners burn oak and pine through the cooler months, which builds creosote faster than many expect, especially in chimneys that were built in the 1970s and 1980s and haven’t been swept in years. Wildlife is a constant too: squirrels, raccoons, and chimney swifts find their way into uncapped flues in the spring, and birds are a recurring issue in neighborhoods near the Trinity River bottom.
Our Main Cleveland Services
Most Cleveland homeowners call us for two things: regular sweeping and the inspections that catch problems before they become fires or leaks. Gas fireplace repair rounds out the work we do most often across the city and the surrounding county.
Chimney Sweep in Cleveland
A sweep in Cleveland usually means removing creosote, soot, and whatever the local wildlife left behind, then checking the flue for blockages and the damper for proper operation. Older Cleveland homes often have flues with rough clay tile liners that hold creosote more readily than smooth stainless liners, so we see heavier buildup than many homeowners expect. We protect your floors, run a camera when needed, and leave the firebox clean. Chimney Sweep in Cleveland covers the full process, including what we find in homes across Liberty County.
Chimney Inspection in Cleveland
Most Cleveland inspections are driven by two things: a home sale or a problem the homeowner can already see, like water stains on the ceiling near the chimney or a fireplace that smokes into the room. A camera inspection shows you exactly what’s inside the flue, whether that’s cracked tile, a separated section of pipe, or a hidden animal nest. We document everything and show you photos before recommending any repair. Chimney Inspection in Cleveland explains the levels of inspection and what each one includes.
Gas Fireplace Repair in Cleveland
Gas fireplaces need maintenance like any gas appliance, and Cleveland’s hard water and humid air can corrode burners and pilots over time. We repair igniters, replace thermocouples and thermopiles, service valves, and address sooting or glass fogging issues. If your gas fireplace won’t light or the flame looks weak and yellow instead of blue, you want it checked before the heating season arrives. Gas Fireplace Repair in Cleveland has specifics on common failures and what repairs cost.

Brands We Service in Cleveland
We work on and install professional-grade chimney components from DuraFlex, Olympia Chimney, Famco, and Copperfield. When a Cleveland repair calls for a new liner or cap, we use materials built for the job, not box-store substitutes. Our brands are the same lines chimney professionals specify, chosen because they hold up to heat, moisture, and the acids in flue gases.

"Good chimney cleaning. They found a small gap in the mortar and quoted the repair, which was a bit more than I wanted to spend. Did the sweep and left the repair for later without any pressure."
- Stuart L."Left no soot anywhere. Even brought a vacuum with a sealed filter. I'd use them again every fall."
- Beth H."Gas fireplace pilot kept going out. Cleaned the burner, replaced the thermocouple, and explained what failed. Works first try now."
