Call (254) 274-4486

We know Georgetown’s chimneys like a neighbor should. The Old Town limestone stacks need a different hand than the brick veneer chimneys in Sun City or the prefab metal flues in the newer subdivisions out toward Wolf Ranch. Our office coordinates dispatch from Austin, but the crews live and work here in the Georgetown area, so we’re familiar with the streets, the housing stock, and the weather that takes a toll on your flue. When you call, a live person answers at (254) 274-4486, 24 hours a day.

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

Georgetown homeowners call us because we say the price first, write it down, and then do what we said we’d do. That’s the Kingswell Way and it’s not complicated: show up in the window, leave the place cleaner than we found it, put the guarantee in writing, and come back if the repair fails. No no-shows. No price-switching at the door. That matters to people who’ve been burned before and it’s why our phones ring steady with Georgetown referrals.

Nathan Corliss runs our operation and he’s built a team of background-checked, uniformed technicians who treat your fireplace like it’s in their own living room. Every job gets a written quote before work begins, not after. If a repair fails inside the guarantee period, the 365-Day Done Right Promise means we come back and fix it at no charge. You don’t pay twice for our work.

We’ve spent years working Georgetown’s limestone chimneys, and that local knowledge shows. A technician who’s only ever cleaned brick veneer will put a wire brush on a Georgetown limestone firebox and spall the stone before he realizes it’s too soft. Our crews know the difference. They know the housing stock, from the Victorian-era homes near Southwestern University to the 1970s ranch houses off Williams Drive.

Fireplace Cleaning in Georgetown

Fireplace cleaning in Georgetown is different from a basic sweep because it covers the full firebox, the damper, and the visible masonry where soot and ash collect season after season. A standard fireplace cleaning here runs $159 to $249 and should be done at least once a year if you burn wood, even occasionally. We vacuum the firebox, brush the walls, clean the damper assembly, and leave your hearth cleaner than it was when we arrived.

Creosote and Soot Removal

Creosote removal in Georgetown costs $189 to $329 when it’s baked-on glaze or third-degree buildup in the smoke chamber. Common in Georgetown homes where fireplaces sit idle through long hot summers, this hardened tar glaze can’t be removed with a standard wire brush. We use chemical treatments and rotary brush systems for the serious stuff, then show you camera footage of the flue before and after so you can see the job was actually done.

Annual Sweep and Gas Log Set Care

Annual sweep service runs $189 to $289 for a standard masonry or prefab chimney in Georgetown. If you have a gas log set, it still needs pulling, the chimney still needs sweeping, and the flue still needs evaluation. Soot from gas logs isn’t the same as creosote, but dust, mineral deposits, and even the occasional bird or wasp nest show up in chimneys that get used every winter without attention.

Chimney Services in Georgetown

Chimney services in Georgetown go beyond the sweep to include Level 1 and Level 2 inspections, flue resurfacing, damper repair, and liner work on chimneys that were never built for modern use. A Level 1 inspection in Georgetown runs $99 to $189 when paired with a sweep. A Level 2 inspection, which includes a camera scan of the flue interior, runs $249 to $399 and is what we recommend before you buy a house with an older chimney or after any chimney fire.

Camera-Verified Level 1 and Level 2 Inspections

In Georgetown, we won’t recommend a repair you can’t see for yourself. A Level 2 inspection means we run a camera through the flue and show you the footage. If we tell you the clay tile liner is cracked, you’ll see the crack. If the mortar joints have gaps, you’ll see daylight. That’s the standard Nathan Corliss holds our Georgetown technicians to, and it’s why we’ve never had to upsell a repair.

Flue Resurfacing With HeatShield

When an older Georgetown chimney has eroded mortar joints or minor clay tile damage, a full liner replacement isn’t always the answer. HeatShield resurfacing restores the flue interior at a fraction of the cost, running $2,500 to $5,000 depending on the flue length and damage. It’s a ceramic coating applied directly to the damaged surface, and it’s backed by our written guarantee in Georgetown.

Trusted Brands We Service in Georgetown

We stock parts from chimney-trade brands Georgetown homeowners should actually recognize, not whatever happened to be in the van. That includes HeatShield for flue resurfacing, Olympia Chimney for dampers and caps, and Gelco for waterproofing products that protect Georgetown limestone from spalling. When you need a repair, we can often source the part locally and get it installed without a two-week wait. When you call our Georgetown crew at (254) 274-4486, you’re getting straight talk about what repair your flue actually needs and the brand of material that’ll go into it.

Common Chimney Sweep Problems We See in Georgetown Homes

• Spalled limestone on Old Town fireplaces. Georgetown limestone is softer than the brick and harder limestone used in surrounding cities. Aggressive wire brushing flakes the stone and accelerates deterioration, which is why our Georgetown crews use gentler rotary brushes on these homes.
• Hardened creosote from sporadic use. Georgetown’s hot, humid summers mean fireplaces sit unused for months. Creosote that would stay soft with regular burning hardens into a tar glaze that standard brushes can’t touch and needs chemical treatment or rotary removal.
• Cracked clay tile liners in mid-century ranch homes. The 1960s and 70s ranch houses off Williams Drive and in the Sun City area often have original clay tile liners that cracked decades ago. We see this every week in Georgetown, and the only honest way to confirm it is with a camera scan.
• Gas log sets masking chimney neglect. A lot of Georgetown homeowners assume a gas log set means no sweep is needed. We regularly pull gas logs on older homes and find the original clay flue in poor shape, with soot and mineral buildup that needs removal before it causes a venting problem.
