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 Oak Point, TX
We’re Alcott Chimney Sweep, and we handle chimney cleaning, inspection, and gas fireplace repair for homeowners across Oak Point. Most of the fireplaces here are factory-built gas units inside metal chases, not full brick masonry, which means the work looks different than it does in older North Texas suburbs. Add in year-round humidity off Lake Lewisville and you get rust, moisture intrusion, and animal nesting at rates we don’t see a few miles inland. The phone number is (336) 863-3889 if you’d like to talk through what’s happening with your fireplace.
Why Oak Point Homes Are Different
Oak Point sits right on the northern edge of Lake Lewisville, and that shoreline location changes everything about chimney maintenance. The lakeside microclimate keeps moisture levels high through every season, so metal chase covers and dampers rust sooner, mortar joints spall faster on the few masonry chimneys that exist, and flue condensation lingers long after a fire goes out. Homes in neighborhoods like Eagles Landing, Peninsula, and Harbor View were mostly built from the mid-1990s through the 2010s, and almost all of them have prefabricated zero-clearance fireplaces rather than traditional brick construction. That means a sweep here usually involves inspecting factory-built firebox panels, seams, and metal liner integrity, not repointing brick.
The other thing that sets Oak Point apart: wooded, lake-adjacent lots give squirrels and birds easy access to uncapped metal flue chases. We regularly pull years of nesting material out of gas-insert fireplaces where the burner hasn’t run in months. Homeowners never smell smoke or notice drafts because heat isn’t being pulled up the flue, so the nests just sit there until someone opens the cap.
Our Main Oak Point Services
Most Oak Point homeowners call us for a sweep or an inspection, and gas fireplace repair follows close behind. Here’s what each one involves in this area.
Chimney Sweep in Oak Point
A Chimney Sweep in Oak Point here starts with removing the cap and checking what’s actually inside the metal chase, not just running a brush through. In Oak Point’s prefab-heavy housing stock, that typically means clearing creosote, the tar-like buildup that causes chimney fires, plus pulling out bird and squirrel nests packed into the flue. Lakeside humidity also means we’re checking for rust scaling on the inner liner and staining that points to condensation. Every sweep ends with a written note of anything we found that needs attention, so you know exactly what was done.
Chimney Inspection in Oak Point
An Chimney Inspection in Oak Point works best when it includes a camera run through the flue, especially on the prefab systems that dominate this city. Oak Point’s lake air accelerates rust on metal components and promotes efflorescence, that white mineral staining that signals water moving through masonry. The inspection report gives you plain-English findings with photos that show what we saw, so you’re not taking anyone’s word on a liner or chase cover recommendation. If a repair can safely wait, we tell you that and write down what to watch for.
Gas Fireplace Repair in Oak Point
Gas Fireplace Repair in Oak Point on these lakeside homes frequently comes down to rusted burners, corroded pilots, or moisture-damaged control valves that have sat dormant for months. Blue Norther cold snaps arrive fast in North Texas, and a fireplace that won’t light on the first freezing night is a frustration nobody needs. We carry parts for common gas insert brands and can usually diagnose the problem during the first visit. If the repair is covered by our written guarantee and fails, the second visit is free.
