Chimney sweep logs do not sweep chimneys. They loosen some creosote - which then falls where a brush and vacuum still have to collect it.
Chimney Company in Austin, TX
Chimney work in Austin means handling two very different kinds of homes. In central neighborhoods like Hyde Park and Travis Heights, we’re working on original brick chimneys from the 1920s through the 1950s. Fifteen minutes west, in newer suburbs, we’re servicing prefab gas fireplace venting. The common thread is Austin’s climate: hot, humid summers soak masonry with moisture, and the mild winters mean fireplaces get used without much thought to when they were last inspected. If you need a chimney sweep, a repair, or gas fireplace work, call us at (361) 603-5116.
Why Austin Homes Are Different
Austin’s rapid growth created a split housing stock, and that shapes every job we do. Hyde Park and Travis Heights are full of early 20th-century bungalows where the original brick chimneys are now 70 to 100 years old. Mortar joints have weathered, and many flues were built without modern liners. Out in the suburbs, the picture flips: gas log fireplaces in manufactured prefab systems are standard, and they need a different set of tools and know-how than a masonry chimney.
The climate adds another layer. Austin’s summers pull moisture into brick and mortar, and when those materials heat up during occasional winter fires, the expansion and contraction widens cracks. Mild winters also mean fireplaces sit unused for months at a time. Birds, squirrels, and other critters build nests in the flue during spring and fall, and when a homeowner finally lights a fire on a cold January evening, that nesting debris becomes a fire hazard.
West of downtown, in neighborhoods like Westlake and Rollingwood, the terrain is its own challenge. Many chimneys sit on steep slopes with live oaks hanging over the roofline. Clean and safe access often requires extension ladders, roof brackets, and more setup time than a flat lot in Mueller or Allendale. Hadley’s techs arrive with the right equipment to handle those Austin hills without cutting corners.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Austin Services
Most Austin homeowners call us about one of three things: a chimney sweep before burning season, a chimney repair after an inspection finds something, or a gas fireplace that won’t light. Here’s what each involves locally.
Chimney Sweep in Austin
An Austin chimney sweep is about more than brushing soot. Our tech removes creosote (the flammable tar buildup that makes chimneys a fire risk), clears out nesting material from spring and fall, and checks the flue with a camera so you can see exactly what’s inside. In older central Austin homes, we pay extra attention to mortar joints that may have loosened during humid summers. Before any work starts, you get a written price. Call (361) 603-5116 to book.

Chimney Repair in Austin
Chimney repair in Austin often traces back to moisture. Austin’s hot, humid summers cause brick and mortar to absorb water, which then expands and contracts. The result is cracked crowns, spalling brick faces, and damaged flashing around the roof line. In Westlake and Rollingwood, overhanging live oaks can also scrape flashing during storms. Every repair comes with a written guarantee, and if a repair fails, we come back free of charge. Chimney Repair in Austin
Gas Fireplace Repair in Austin
Gas fireplaces in Austin are common in homes built after 2000, and they fail in predictable ways: thermocouples wear out, pilot lights won’t stay lit, and venting gets blocked. Our techs diagnose the issue, show you photos of the problem, and give you a written price before any repair starts. We also stock parts for many major gas log brands, so most jobs are completed in a single visit. Gas Fireplace Repair in Austin

Two things push prices higher in Austin. First, steep lots in Westlake and Rollingwood require more setup time and safety equipment. Second, older chimneys in Hyde Park or Travis Heights often need repair work discovered during the sweep, like a cracked crown or damaged flashing. Whatever the job, you get a written price before any work starts, and that number doesn’t change once we’re on the roof.

FAQs About Chimney Company in Austin
Most Austin appointments happen within two to five business days. During peak season in October and November, that window can stretch to a week. We never promise same-day arrival because we don’t want to overbook and then make you wait. Call (361) 603-5116 for current availability in your neighborhood.
Most Austin HOAs don’t require approval for a standard chimney sweep or minor repair. If your neighborhood has strict historical preservation rules, like some parts of Hyde Park, a visible exterior change like new flashing or a chimney cap may need sign-off. We can tell you what’s visible from the street so you know what to flag with your HOA.
No. Our pricing is based on the actual work, not the difficulty of parking the truck. Steep slopes may require extra setup time, but we build that into the written price you approve before we start. You’ll never see a surprise “terrain fee” on your invoice.
