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 Georgetown, TX
Alcott Chimney Sweep handles chimney cleaning and repair work across Georgetown, TX, and we approach this city differently than Round Rock or Cedar Park. Georgetown’s chimney needs are shaped by Sun City’s aging prefab gas fireplaces, a handful of historic masonry flues near the square, and the post-2010 neighborhoods where factory-built units are standard. You’ll get a written price before any work starts, and the technician who shows up is the same person you saw by name and photo before you opened the door. Call (336) 863-3889 for a free estimate.
Why Georgetown Homes Are Different
The big story here is Sun City Texas. Del Webb built well over 10,000 homes between roughly 1995 and the mid-2010s, and most of them came with zero-clearance prefabricated gas fireplaces that are now 15 to 25 years old. That age range matters because Heatilator and Majestic units from that era start showing cracked refractory panels and corroded damper assemblies around the two-decade mark. Homeowners there often skipped annual cleanings for years, assuming low usage meant low risk. The logic sounded reasonable, but a dormant chimney is still exposed to moisture, dust, and the occasional wasp or squirrel looking for a quiet place to nest.
The rest of Georgetown splits between the pre-1930 limestone buildings around the downtown square, which have true masonry flues, and the post-2010 master-planned neighborhoods like Wolf Ranch, Morningstar, and Teravista where builder-grade factory-built fireplaces came standard. Winters are mild enough that most people light a fire only a few times a year, so the real problem isn’t heavy creosote. It’s obstruction clearing, rust inspection, and moisture damage in flues that sit open and ignored for months at a time.
Our Main Georgetown Services
Most Georgetown homeowners reach out for one of two reasons: they want a routine cleaning before the short burning season starts, or they suspect something’s wrong and need eyes on the inside of the flue. Each service has its own dedicated Georgetown page linked below.
Chimney Sweep in Georgetown
A sweep in Georgetown is as much about clearing what moved in as it is about creosote. We regularly pull bird nest material, wasp combs, and acorns out of flues that haven’t been used since the previous winter. The work includes protecting the area around the fireplace, brushing or rodding the flue from top to bottom, and vacuuming everything out so you’re not finding soot on the mantel a week later. See the full details on our Chimney Sweep in Georgetown page, including what to expect and what we check during the visit.
Chimney Inspection in Georgetown
In Sun City especially, an inspection is the fastest way to catch a prefab fireplace that’s reached the end of its rated service life before it becomes a bigger problem. We use a camera to look at the refractory panels, damper assembly, and the full run of the flue, then show you the images. You’re not asked to take anyone’s word for it. The Chimney Inspection in Georgetown page covers the levels of inspection and when each one makes sense.
Gas Fireplace Repair in Georgetown
Georgetown’s stock of aging prefab gas fireplaces means repair calls are common, and they usually involve the components that fail first: thermocouples, pilot assemblies, control valves, and refractory panels. We carry and install professional trade brands like HeatShield, Gelco, and Famco, never box-store substitutes. Read the Gas Fireplace Repair in Georgetown page for what the job involves and how we price it out.

What tends to push a Georgetown job toward the higher end is the age of the equipment: a Sweep in a 2003 Sun City prefab unit that’s never been cleaned is a different job than a 2018 Teravista fireplace that got swept two years ago. Whatever the number is, you’ll see it in writing before we start, and that price is the price.

FAQs About Chimney Company in Georgetown
In most cases we can have a technician in Georgetown within a few days. Scheduling tightens up in October through December, which is peak pre-season, so calling earlier in the fall gets you the widest window. Call (336) 863-3889 and a live person will schedule you, not a voicemail box.
Routine cleaning and interior inspection work doesn’t require HOA approval anywhere in Georgetown, including Sun City. If we’re doing a visible exterior repair such as a chimney cap replacement, the HOA may want to see the plan, but almost every job we do in Georgetown is HOA-silent.
Yes. The bulk of Georgetown work is on prefabricated gas units, especially in Sun City, but we also sweep, inspect, and repair the older masonry flues you find in downtown and the historic district. Each gets its own procedure and its own pricing, which you’ll see before we start.
