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 Paloma Creek South, TX
Paloma Creek South isn’t like older DFW suburbs where brick chimneys dominate. Nearly every home here was built between the mid-2000s and mid-2010s, which means factory-built prefabricated fireplaces, not traditional masonry stacks. Those units are now hitting the 10 to 20 year mark, and that’s exactly when we start finding cracked firebox panels, rusted chase covers, and failing termination caps. Alcott Chimney Sweep handles all three core services – sweeping, inspection, and gas fireplace repair – each covered in detail on its own Paloma Creek South page. If you need a chimney company in Paloma Creek South that shows you exactly who’s coming to your door, call (336) 863-3889.
Why Paloma Creek South Homes Are Different
Paloma Creek South is a master-planned community dominated by production tract homes from builders like DR Horton. Walk down almost any street and you’ll see vinyl-sided or stucco chases enclosing prefab metal fireboxes. That changes the work in a real way. We’re not tuckpointing brick or rebuilding masonry crowns here. We’re servicing factory-built units with manufacturer-specific parts, which most generalist chimney companies simply don’t stock.
Then there’s the weather. North Texas winters are mild until a blue norther blows in, and then Paloma Creek South homeowners fire up the fireplace hard for a few days straight, let it sit, and fire it again weeks later. That sporadic, intense burn pattern, combined with big-box store firewood of inconsistent moisture content, deposits sticky stage-one creosote faster per use than a steadily burned fireplace in a colder climate would. Add in proximity to Lake Lewisville, and the ambient humidity accelerates corrosion on galvanized steel chase covers. We regularly find water-damaged firebox panels on homes whose owners assumed a metal chase needed no attention because “it’s not real brick.” It does. Paloma Creek South homes need a different kind of attention, and that’s what we’re built around.
Our Main Paloma Creek South Services
The two calls we get most from Paloma Creek South homeowners are for chimney sweeping and chimney inspections, with gas fireplace repair close behind. Each service has its own dedicated page for this community.
Chimney Sweep in Paloma Creek South
A standard chimney sweep in Paloma Creek South removes creosote, the tar-like buildup that causes chimney fires, from the flue and smoke chamber. But on a 2000s-era prefab unit, the sweep is also the moment we spot early rust on the chase cover and hairline cracks in the refractory panels before they become leaks. We use professional-grade equipment and treat every job as a system check, not just a brushing. You’ll know the technician’s name and see their photo before we arrive.

Chimney Inspection in Paloma Creek South
An inspection in Paloma Creek South matters more than in older neighborhoods because most homeowners here have never had anyone look at the factory-built system since it was installed. We use a camera to check the flue, firebox, chase, and termination cap, and you see the photos we see. If something needs attention, you get a written explanation with visuals, not a vague warning. Nothing is recommended without evidence you can verify yourself. Chimney Inspection in Paloma Creek South
Gas Fireplace Repair in Paloma Creek South
Many Paloma Creek South homes have gas fireplaces, and ten to fifteen years in, thermopiles weaken, pilot assemblies get finicky, and valves begin to fail. We carry manufacturer-specific components for the brands installed in this community, so we’re not retrofitting generic parts from a box store. The repair is quoted in writing before any work starts, and every repair comes with a written guarantee: if it fails within the coverage period, the second visit is free.

A neglected prefab unit can need several components at once, and those costs stack. Every job gets a written price before any work begins, so the number you approve is the number you pay.
