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 Georgetown, TX
Chimney work in Georgetown, TX isn’t the same as chimney work in a newer Dallas suburb. The housing stock here runs from 1890s limestone homes around the square to 1980s brick-veneer ranches to new construction with prefabricated metal flues, and that means a chimney company in Georgetown has to know three different systems, not one. Add in Central Texas clay soil, sporadic freeze-thaw cycles, and long stretches where the fireplace never gets lit, and you get the kinds of problems we see week after week. We’re Ashby Chimney Sweep, and this page is our Georgetown overview: what the work costs here, what makes it different, and where we go. Call (254) 274-4486 for a written quote on any of it.
Why Georgetown Homes Are Different
We’ve worked on chimneys in Georgetown’s Old Town district that were built with the same honey-colored limestone you see on the 1911 Williamson County Courthouse. That stone is beautiful, but it’s soft. Aggressive wire brushing will spall the surface, so sweeping an Old Town chimney takes slower passes and more frequent visits than a standard brick flue. It’s a real difference, and it’s one reason we don’t send a rookie crew into a century-old home with a generic protocol.
The other half of Georgetown is newer: ranch-style houses from the 1960s through the ’80s with brick veneer chimneys, plus subdivisions built in the last twenty years with factory-made metal flues. Those older brick chimneys often have no proper liner at all, or a clay liner with mortar joints that Central Texas clay soils have shifted and cracked over decades. When a cold snap hits in January after six months of idle weather, the creosote inside has hardened into a glaze, and the thermal shock can crack unlined masonry. We plan for that. It’s why we recommend a camera inspection on any Georgetown home that hasn’t had one in recent years, and why we tell owners plainly when a sweep alone isn’t going to fix what’s actually wrong.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Georgetown Services
Most Georgetown homeowners call us for one of two reasons: a chimney they haven’t had cleaned in years, or a chimney the last company said needed major work without showing proof. All three of our services have their own Georgetown pages, so pick the one that matches what you’re dealing with.
Chimney Sweep in Georgetown
A sweep in Georgetown means removing creosote buildup from the flue, smoke chamber, and firebox. In older Georgetown limestone chimneys, we use gentler brush techniques that don’t spall the soft stone. In newer homes with prefabricated flues, we work to the manufacturer’s clearances. Hardened creosote from long idle periods is common here, and sometimes a standard sweep isn’t enough, which is when we say so before charging for extra work. This service, its pricing, and what to expect are covered on the Chimney Sweep in Georgetown page.
Chimney Inspection in Georgetown
In Georgetown, an inspection is the service we recommend most often to new homeowners, especially in the older neighborhoods near Sun City and the historic district. The housing stock is varied enough that two chimneys on the same street can have completely different internal conditions. We run a camera up the flue and give you a photo report, so you can see for yourself whether a liner is cracked or the mortar joints are failing before anyone asks you to spend real money. Details on what the inspection covers are on the Chimney Inspection in Georgetown page.
Fireplace Repair in Georgetown
Repair work in Georgetown covers everything from replacing a rusted damper in a 1970s ranch house to rebuilding a firebox in a Granger-adjacent farmhouse. The common thread is that nothing gets recommended without camera evidence you can see. Cracked liners, spalled limestone, failing mortar joints: these are all repairable, and the repair is written up with a price before work starts. We cover the full range and the brands we use on the Fireplace Repair in Georgetown page.

What pushes a Georgetown job toward the upper end of these ranges is usually one of two things: access (a steep roof pitch on a two-story home in Sun City, or a chimney that’s been boxed in by later additions) or internal condition (hardened creosote that requires chemical treatment before brushing, or a liner that’s gone from minor cracking to full replacement). Whatever the quote, it’s in writing before we touch anything.

What Georgetown Customers Say
"We smelled something off every time the heat kicked on. Turned out to be debris in the flue. He cleared it and the smell was gone. Patient explaining it all to a first timer like me."
- Annette Prosser"The damper was rusted shut and we couldn't use the fireplace. He freed it up, swept everything, and now we actually use the thing. Priced it before he started."
- Georgia Lemmon"Smoke kept rolling back into the living room every time we lit a fire. Turned out the cap was half blocked with a bird's nest. He cleared it and explained why it was happening. Fire draws perfectly now."
- Megan Alvarez
