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 Floresville, TX
Chimney work in Floresville comes down to two things: old brick that’s spent decades in South Texas humidity, and creosote from oak and mesquite fires that burns hotter and dirtier than most homeowners expect. We’re Hadley Chimney Sweep, and we work on both. Whether you’re in a 1900s farmhouse near the old peanut mill or a newer ranch home off Highway 181, you’ll get a written price before we touch anything, photos of what we find, and a live person on the phone at (254) 276-4116 whenever you call.
Why Floresville Homes Are Different
Floresville’s housing stock splits into two very different chimney situations. The early 1900s brick and wood-frame houses, especially on the east side near the old peanut mill, often have unlined flues and mortar joints that have been quietly crumbling for decades. Humidity does the damage here. Even when a fireplace sits unused through a mild winter, moisture works its way into the brick, and the freeze-thaw cycle that other parts of Texas worry about is replaced by slow, constant expansion and contraction from the heat.
Then you have the newer ranch-style homes with prefab metal flues. These don’t rot like masonry, but they corrode. The hot, humid summers in Floresville mean a fireplace that got used twice in January can have rust forming in the flue by August. Oak and mesquite burn hot and leave behind a dense, flaky creosote that’s harder to remove than the soft soot from pine or cedar. A camera inspection catches both problems before they become a chimney fire or a carbon monoxide risk.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Floresville Services
Most Floresville homeowners call us for one of two things: a routine sweep before burning season, or a repair after years of deferred maintenance finally shows itself. Here’s what each one involves locally.
Chimney Sweep in Floresville
A sweep in Floresville is about more than brushing out last year’s ash. Oak and mesquite creosote tends to glaze onto flue walls rather than brush off, especially in unlined brick chimneys where the rough mortar surface gives it something to grip. We remove that buildup, check the flue for cracks and gaps with a camera, and give you photos of everything we found. If you’re on the east side with an original unlined flue, we’ll talk you through what the camera shows and whether the chimney is safe to run as-is. Details are on our Chimney Sweep in Floresville page.
Chimney Repair in Floresville
Brick chimneys in Floresville take a beating from humidity, and the most common repair we do is repointing deteriorated mortar joints. Left alone, loose joints let water in, and water makes every other problem worse: spalling brick, rusted damper assemblies, cracked flue tiles. We also replace rusted-out prefab flue sections on newer ranch homes. Every repair gets a written guarantee and a free second visit if it fails within 365 days. See Chimney Repair in Floresville for the full scope.
Gas Fireplace Repair in Floresville
Gas fireplaces in Floresville get used more often than wood-burning ones, mostly because they’re easier to start on a cool December evening. But humidity gets to the gas valves, the pilot assemblies, and the thermocouples. If your fireplace lights inconsistently, makes a clicking sound that goes nowhere, or the flame looks weak and yellow instead of blue and steady, that’s usually a sign of corrosion or a clogged burner. We stock common gas fireplace parts for faster turnarounds. Read more on our Gas Fireplace Repair in Floresville page.

AfterPricing for Chimney Company in Floresville, TX
Here’s what chimney work typically runs in Floresville. These are ranges, not quotes, but they give you a real starting point before you call.
| Service | Typical range in Floresville |
|---|---|
| Chimney sweep (standard) | $180 – $340 |
| Chimney sweep with camera inspection | $275 – $425 |
| Level 2 inspection (real estate or after a chimney fire) | $300 – $550 |
| Flashing repair | $350 – $750 |
| Chimney cap installation | $250 – $550 |
| Crown repair (minor) | $250 – $500 |
| Mortar joint repointing (per section) | $400 – $900 |
| Firebox repair | $500 – $1,800 |
| Flue liner replacement | $2,500 – $6,500 |
What pushes a Floresville job toward the top of these ranges is age and access. A 1910s brick chimney with a partially collapsed crown and a roof pitch that makes ladder work slow will cost more than a straightforward sweep on a single-story ranch. What won’t change is the price after we start: you get a written quote before any work begins, and that’s the number you pay.

FAQs About Chimney Company in Floresville
Most Floresville jobs are scheduled within two to five business days, depending on the season. Fall fills up faster because everyone remembers the fireplace around the first cold front. If you’re planning ahead for burning season, call in September or early October for the best availability. A live person answers 24/7 at (254) 276-4116.
Routine sweeps and inspections never require a permit. For structural repairs like flue liner replacement or major masonry work, permit requirements vary by job scope and jurisdiction. We’ll check local requirements as part of your written quote, and if a permit is needed, it’s handled before any work starts.
You’ll see the inside of your flue the way we see it: every crack, gap, creosote deposit, and deterioration point. We send before-and-after photos with every job, and nothing gets recommended for repair unless the camera shows it needs it. That’s part of The Relay Visibility Guarantee, and it’s standard on every Floresville visit, not an add-on.
