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 Dickinson, TX
A chimney sweep and inspection in Dickinson typically runs $189 – $289, with gas fireplace repair work priced separately based on what the diagnostic finds. What makes Dickinson different from neighboring cities is the combination of Harvey-era flood exposure, salt-heavy coastal air, and housing stock that spans original 1970s masonry chimneys to post-2018 factory-built fireplaces. If you’re seeing rust stains on your chase cover or smelling something musty from the firebox, call (336) 863-3889 and we’ll tell you exactly what we’d check first.
Why Dickinson Homes Are Different
Dickinson sits just inland from Galveston Bay along Dickinson Bayou, and that geography shapes chimney work more than most homeowners realize. Salt-laden humidity attacks metal components fast: chase covers and dampers that would last 15 years in a drier inland city routinely fail here in under 8. Homes in Bay Colony, Pine Drive, and the older sections near Hughes Road show this pattern constantly.
Then there’s Harvey. Thousands of Dickinson homes took floodwater in 2017, and plenty of fireboxes and ash dumps were never professionally inspected after the rebuild. We regularly find a faint silt tide line inside fireboxes on homes that otherwise look fully restored. That line tells us the damper sat submerged long enough to warp and the firebox mortar may be compromised, even when the homeowner was told everything was fine. If your home flooded and you never had someone actually look inside the firebox with a camera, that’s a gap worth closing.
Post-rebuild Dickinson also has a large number of prefabricated zero-clearance fireplaces installed between 2018 and 2022. Those units have chase systems that are particularly vulnerable to coastal corrosion, and many are now hitting their first real service interval.
Our Main Dickinson Services
Most Dickinson homeowners call us for one of three things: a standard sweep, a camera inspection tied to a home sale or a Harvey question, or a gas fireplace that won’t light or stay lit.
Chimney Sweep in Dickinson
A Chimney Sweep in Dickinson here often turns up more than creosote. The long warm season means flues sit idle for months, which makes them attractive to chimney swifts, a federally protected bird you can’t legally remove during nesting season. We also see rusted damper assemblies far earlier than inland homes due to the salt air. The sweep itself removes creosote (the tar-like buildup that causes chimney fires) and verifies the flue is clear, but in Dickinson we’re always watching for what the humidity has done to the metal.
Chimney Inspection in Dickinson
A Chimney Inspection in Dickinson is the service we recommend most after any Harvey-affected home changes hands or after a few years of light use. We run a camera down the flue and show you the footage, so you’re not taking anyone’s word on liner condition. Given how many Dickinson fireboxes sat underwater in 2017, a visual check from the hearth is not enough here. The camera finds silt residue, hidden spalling, and warped dampers that a flashlight simply misses.
Gas Fireplace Repair in Dickinson
Gas Fireplace Repair in Dickinson calls tend to spike in November, when the first cool front arrives and units that sat dormant since February refuse to start. Coastal humidity corrodes thermocouples, pilot assemblies, and burner tubes faster than manufacturers expect. We carry Copperfield and Olympia Chimney parts commonly needed on Dickinson units, which means most repairs are completed in one visit rather than two. If your fireplace lights but shuts off after a few minutes, that’s usually a failing thermocouple, not a gas supply issue.

Salt air and Harvey-related hidden damage are the two biggest price drivers in Dickinson. A chase cover that looks worn on the outside often has worse corrosion underneath once we pull it, and a firebox that flooded in 2017 may need more than a surface patch. Whatever we find, you get a written price before any work starts, so there’s never a surprise at the end.

FAQs About Chimney Company in Dickinson
Most Dickinson appointments are scheduled within a few business days, with some flexibility for earlier slots depending on the week. We don’t promise same-day chimney work because a proper sweep and inspection takes time and shouldn’t be rushed. If you smell smoke or suspect a chimney fire, call (336) 863-3889 immediately and a live person will help you assess the situation.
Routine chimney sweeping and inspections do not require a permit. Structural repairs, liner installation, or fireplace rebuilds may require city permitting depending on scope, and we’ll tell you upfront if your job falls into that category. We’d rather flag it early than have you deal with a code issue later.
That’s one of the most common situations we see in Dickinson. We recommend a camera inspection specifically, because flood damage to firebox mortar, dampers, and ash dumps isn’t visible from the hearth. The inspection includes a video you can watch with us, so you’ll know exactly what did and didn’t survive the water. Call (336) 863-3889 and we’ll schedule it.
If you’re in Dickinson and need a chimney sweep, a camera inspection, or a gas fireplace looked at, call (336) 863-3889 for a free estimate. You’ll know your technician’s name and see their photo before we arrive, and you’ll get a written price before any work begins.

What Dickinson Customers Say
"Water was leaking around the flashing. They resealed it and installed a new crown coating. Dry through two heavy rains since."
- Douglas P."Fast and tidy. Fireplace draws properly again."
- Mina K."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."
