Nathan Corliss leads our team, and he’s built Chimney Sweep service around one thing: showing up when we say we will, with the price you already agreed to, and leaving the flue cleaner than we found it. We’re part of the Kingswell network of independently owned chimney companies, operating under the Kingswell Guarantee. That means every job gets a written price before work starts and a written guarantee when it’s done.

Why Ashby Chimney Austin Is Pflugerville’s Preferred Chimney Sweep Company

Pflugerville homeowners tend to call us after two experiences. Either a technician never showed up, or a repair quote doubled once the work started. We hear it on at least half our first calls. Our answer is the same every time: the price we quote is the price you pay, written down before any work begins. No exceptions. It’s the Kingswell Way: say the price, show up in the window, leave it cleaner, put the guarantee in writing, come back if it fails.

We’re staffed as the local crew for Pflugerville, scheduled and dispatched from our Austin office. Our technicians arrive in marked vans, wearing uniforms and name badges you can actually read. Background-checked, every one. You’ll know exactly who’s walking into your home before they cross the threshold. We carry parts and materials from Olympia Chimney, Gelco, and Copperfield in the van because we know Pflugerville’s housing stock leans heavily on metal prefab chimneys and gas fireplaces, and waiting two weeks for a chase top or cap to ship from some warehouse doesn’t work when there’s water coming through a ceiling.

Do we have reviews from Pflugerville customers? Yes, and plenty of them. But we won’t quote a number here because ratings change. What we’ll say is that our repeat sweep bookings in Pflugerville keep climbing year over year, and most of our new customers come from a neighbor’s referral. That says more than any star count.

Chimney Sweep Certified in Pflugerville

Chimney Sweep Certified work in Pflugerville starts with a real look at what’s blocking your flue, not a five-minute poke with a wire brush and an invoice. Most post-1990 homes here have prefab metal chimneys, which shift the work away from heavy creosote scraping and toward nest removal, chase top inspection, and cap resets. A typical sweep in Pflugerville runs $189 to $329, and we handle creosote removal, soot removal, and annual maintenance in one visit.

What the Sweep Actually Includes

We remove creosote and soot from the flue and smoke chamber, check the damper, and inspect the cap and chase top from the roof. On gas fireplaces, we vacuum the firebox, clean the logs and glass, and verify the venting path is clear. You get a written report of what we found and what we did, not a verbal summary as the tech walks to the van.

When Pflugerville Homeowners Should Schedule

Schedule your sweep before the first cold snap, which around here usually lands in November. That’s when the calls spike: someone flips on the gas logs, the wasp nest that spent the summer inside the flue blocks the draft, and the living room fills with smoke. Book in September or October and you’ll beat the rush.

Gas Fireplace Cleaning in Pflugerville

Gas Fireplace Cleaning in Pflugerville typically costs $149 to $249 and takes about an hour. Gas fireplaces don’t produce creosote the way wood stoves do, but they still collect dust, pet hair, spider webs, and the occasional mud dauber nest inside the burner assembly and pilot orifice. That buildup causes sooting on the glass and weak flames, and it can make the unit smell like burning lint on the first cold night.

Why Your Glass Stayes Cloudy

Cloudy white film on gas fireplace glass is almost always mineral residue from impingement, meaning the flames aren’t burning cleanly because the burner ports are partially clogged. A cleaning clears the ports and restores a clean blue flame. We check the logs, ember bed, valve, and venting as part of every gas fireplace cleaning, and we’ll tell you plainly if something needs a repair or if it can wait.

First Fire of the Season Check

Before you light that first fire in November, have someone look at the flue termination cap. If wasps built inside during the summer, you’ll see activity or mud tubes around the cap. If the cap is loose or crooked from spring winds, water has likely been getting in. Both are quick fixes we handle during a cleaning visit, not separate service calls.

Trusted Brands We Service in Pflugerville

We service whatever brand is already on your home, but most Pflugerville houses we visit have Olympia Chimney venting, Gelco caps, or Copperfield termination components. Those are professional-grade materials, and we stock common seals, caps, and connectors for them in our vans so Pflugerville customers get same-visit repairs when possible. We also carry DuraFlex and HeatShield materials for liner repair, along with Famco connectors. What we won’t do is patch a failing component with whatever happens to be in the truck. The name on the part matters, and so does the warranty behind it.

Every repair we complete carries a written guarantee, and it’s not a sales add-on. It’s included. If a covered repair fails inside the guarantee period, we come back and fix it at no charge. That’s the 365-Day Done Right Promise under the Kingswell Guarantee.

Common Chimney Sweep Problems We See in Pflugerville Homes

• Spring storm damage to chimney caps. High winds in March through May knock caps loose or tear them off entirely. A displaced cap lets wind-driven rain pour straight down the flue, rusting metal components and staining the ceiling below.
• Wasp and bird nests in unused flues. Pflugerville has thousands of gas-only fireplaces that never get lit from April to October. Wasps and birds move in during those months, and the first cold snap brings smoke backing into the house when the flue is blocked.
• Corrosion on metal chase tops. Central Texas humidity is brutal on thin metal chase tops. We regularly find rust-through on homes less than 15 years old, especially where pooling water sits against the seams. Left alone, it lets water into the attic chase.
• Freeze-thaw cracking on brick veneer crowns. Pflugerville’s brick and stone veneer homes built in the 1990s and 2000s have poured concrete crowns that crack over repeated winter freezes. Water seeps behind the veneer, causing spalling brick and eventually flashing failure.

That last one matters more in Pflugerville than people realize. The rapid expansion of production-built homes means thousands of chimneys were installed the same way, by the same trade crews, around the same years. That means they tend to fail around the same time, too. We got called to a home in Falcon Pointe after a spring storm knocked the chimney cap loose. Our tech found a wasp nest in the flue and a corroded chase top on the Olympia Chimney system. We cleared the nest, replaced the cap, and sealed the chase top so the first November fire didn’t push smoke back into the living room.

That’s the local reality. Creosote is a wood-burning problem, and wood burning is uncommon here. The real issues are storm-driven water and seasonal nesting, and those don’t care how often you use the fireplace.
