The craft, done properly
CHIMNEY CLEANING IN SOUTHLAKE, TX
Brown Chimney sweeps chimneys across Southlake from our office at 180 State St, usually within the same week you call. A standard sweep takes 60–90 minutes, and anything worth your attention is shown to you before we leave.
Southlake fireplaces have an unusual profile: large, prominent, and barely used. A custom home built in the nineties or two-thousands often has two or three of them, lit a dozen evenings a year between cold fronts. That means creosote accumulates slowly — but debris, nests, and dust accumulate the whole time, in a flue nobody looks into from one year to the next. The craft itself is on our chimney cleaning service page; check pricing on the cleaning cost calculator.

The Work
What a sweep does for a Southlake home.
Light use hides more than heavy use reveals. A fireplace burned nightly tells you when something is wrong — smoke, smell, poor draft. One lit twice a winter gives you no such warning, and the first fire of the season is when the year's worth of accumulation announces itself, usually as smoke in the room.
Every cleaning starts with drop cloths and a HEPA vacuum before a brush touches the flue. We sweep base to cap, clean the smoke chamber and shelf, and check the damper, liner, and crown or chase cover. If we spot a sun-crazed crown or dented chase — both common on north DFW roofs — we show you before we leave and quote it separately. Want the whole system looked at first? Start with a Southlake chimney inspection. Many clients pair the visit with dryer vent cleaning — one trip, both systems cleared.
Our Dallas crew covers the southern metroplex — together we handle the Dallas–Fort Worth service area. See everything we do locally on the Southlake services page.
When to book
What are the signs you need a chimney cleaning in Southlake?
These are the symptoms our Southlake crews hear about most — and because these fireplaces sit unused for most of the year, the buildup usually goes unnoticed until the first fire.
Autumn, right before the first cool front, is the best time to book in Southlake — before you light that first fire and before everyone else does the same.

A chimney isn't clean because it looks clean. It's clean when the flue shows bare masonry — and we photograph it to prove it.

Crews who know these homes
Southlake is largely 1990s and 2000s construction — factory-built fireboxes, chase covers, stone veneer. Different work from older masonry, and we do both.
Price confirmed before we start
The price is confirmed with you before any work begins. Anything extra we find is shown to you with photos and needs your approval first.
What to expect
What happens during a chimney cleaning?
A typical Southlake visit runs 60–90 minutes from door to door. Most homes in north DFW get a same-week appointment.
01
Arrival & protection
Drop cloths go down first, shoe covers on, and the HEPA vacuum starts running before any tool touches the flue. The mess stays in the chimney, not your living room.
02
Visual assessment
The tech checks the firebox, damper, and flue base to gauge the creosote stage — Stage 1 dust, Stage 2 flakes, or Stage 3 glaze — before choosing brushes.
03
Mechanical sweep
Rotary poly or steel brushes sized to your exact flue, worked from bottom to top. Smoke shelf, damper, and firebox cleaned by hand.
04
HEPA extraction
Every trace of dislodged soot and ash is vacuumed from the firebox and smoke chamber through dual-stage HEPA filtration — nothing ends up in your room.
05
Final check & walkthrough
A second look up the flue confirms bare masonry. You get a plain-English walkthrough of anything we spotted, and a room left cleaner than we found it.

FAQS
Common questions about chimney cleaning in Southlake
How is chimney cleaning priced in Southlake?
A standard cleaning is one flat rate, whether it's a masonry fireplace, an insert, or a wood or pellet stove. Heavy buildup and glazed creosote are priced separately, Brown Chimney confirms the price before any work begins, and every option is on our chimney cleaning pricing page.
My fireplace is barely used — do I still need a sweep?
Often more so. A lightly used flue still collects creosote, and an open chimney through a north Texas summer invites birds, squirrels, and wasps. The annual visit catches both before your first fire pushes smoke back into the room.
How quickly can you come out in Southlake?
Most Southlake bookings are scheduled within the same week — our crew works out of 180 State St at Town Square. Autumn fills fastest, when the first cool front sends everyone to their fireplace at once.
Do you clean prefabricated fireplaces?
Yes, and they are common in Southlake's 1990s and 2000s construction. Factory-built units need different tooling than masonry and their metal chase covers are checked at the same time — the technician identifies which you have on arrival.
Do you clean chimneys outside Southlake?
Yes. From this office we cover north DFW, and our Dallas crew handles the southern metroplex — together covering Dallas, Southlake and homes within about 20 miles of each. Farther out, an estimate visit is $150, credited toward work booked within 30 days.
