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 Arlington, TX
Arlington’s chimney work skews differently than in older North Texas cities, and it comes down to one thing: most of the fireplaces here were factory-built units installed between the late 1960s and early 1990s, and they’re now decades past their design lifespan. A scheduled cleaning in Arlington often turns into refractory panel replacement or a full firebox swap once we see what’s happening inside. If you need a chimney company in Arlington that gives you a written price before work starts and sends a technician whose name and photo you already have, call (336) 863-3889.
Why Arlington Homes Are Different
Arlington’s residential build-out was fast and concentrated, and that shapes nearly every chimney job here. Most homes between I-20 and the north side of town were built between roughly 1968 and 1995, when zero-clearance prefabricated fireplaces were the standard builder install. Those units, often Heatilator or Majestic, had a design lifespan of 20 to 30 years. Nearly all of them are now beyond that. The refractory panels inside crack, the dampers warp, and the metal flue pipes degrade from the inside out. A sweep in Arlington isn’t just clearing creosote, it’s assessing whether the entire prefab firebox is still safe to operate.
Arlington’s mild winters compound the issue. Most fireplaces sit idle for nine or ten months a year, lit only during cold snaps or winter storms. That long dormant stretch is when moisture works into the flue, chimney swifts build nests (a federally protected bird, which means blocked chimneys can’t be cleared until after the fall migration), and debris accumulates unseen. Then November hits and homeowners light the first fire of the season without knowing what’s been going on inside. After Winter Storm Uri in February 2021, plenty of Arlington residents burned whatever wood they could find for days on end during the outage, much of it green or wet. A meaningful number of those chimneys still haven’t been inspected since.
Our Main Arlington Services
These are the three services Arlington homeowners call us about most. Each has its own page with detailed pricing, process, and what to expect.
Chimney Sweep in Arlington
A proper sweep in Arlington means removing creosote, the tar-like byproduct of wood combustion that builds up inside the flue and is the primary cause of chimney fires. Because most Arlington homes have prefab metal chimneys, we use brushes and techniques sized for those flue dimensions rather than the masonry methods used on older brick chimneys. We also check the firebox, dampers, and visible flue sections for the kind of damage that’s common in aging zero-clearance units. Get the full breakdown on our Chimney Sweep in Arlington page.
Chimney Inspection in Arlington
In Arlington, an inspection is rarely a formality. With the majority of fireplaces now at or past their factory design lifespan, we’re frequently documenting cracked refractory panels, failing dampers, and flue pipe corrosion that owners had no idea existed. We use a camera to show you exactly what we’re seeing, because we’d never ask you to authorize a repair off our say-so alone. See what’s included and what it covers on our Chimney Inspection in Arlington page.
Gas Fireplace Repair in Arlington
Gas fireplaces in Arlington’s tract homes are often original to the build, meaning 30-plus-year-old gas valves, thermocouples, and burner assemblies that are simply worn out. When a gas fireplace won’t light, produces a weak flame, or shuts off mid-use, we diagnose the specific component and quote the repair before any work begins. It’s a different skill set from wood-burning chimney work, and we have the parts and training for both. Details are on our Gas Fireplace Repair in Arlington page.

Brands We Service in Arlington
We work on the brands Arlington builders actually installed, including Heatilator, Majestic, and similar zero-clearance lines, and we carry professional-grade replacement materials from our brands like DuraFlex, Famco, and Copperfield rather than box-store substitutes. Most common parts are stocked locally, which keeps most repairs to a single visit.

In Arlington, the biggest price drivers are the age of the prefab unit and what’s deteriorated inside. A routine sweep can jump to a firebox replacement once we see cracked refractory panels and a corroded flue, which is why every customer gets a written price with line items before any work starts. No surprises, no pressure, and nothing recommended without camera evidence you can see for yourself.

- 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."
