Why Boardwalk Chimney Sweep Is Liberty Hill’s Preferred Chimney Sweep Company

Liberty Hill is a two-part town now. On one side you have new subdivisions with factory-built metal chimneys and gas inserts. On the other, you have ranch properties and acreage homes where the original masonry fireplace or a freestanding wood stove has been heating the house for thirty years. We’re comfortable in both, because our Chimney Sweep team works on the full range: historic clay tile flues, modern steel liners, gas direct-vent systems, and everything between.

Brent Holloway runs Boardwalk Chimney Sweep with a pretty simple rule: we repair what we inspect. That means when we sweep your flue, we’re not just running a brush through and handing you a receipt. We’re looking at what’s actually happening inside the chimney, because around Liberty Hill, the inside is where the trouble hides. Cracked clay tile liners, hardened third-degree creosote, a disconnected gas insert that was never checked after the homeowner installed it. These aren’t edge cases out here. They’re the standard calls.

We schedule Liberty Hill jobs with enough time to do the work right, not a 45-minute drive-by. A thorough sweep on a heavily used wood stove takes longer than a fireplace that burns twelve fires a year, and we don’t rush it. Homeowners here tend to appreciate that.

Gas Fireplace Cleaning in Liberty Hill

Gas Fireplace Cleaning in Liberty Hill is a different job than a wood flue sweep, and it’s one that gets skipped more than it should. The newer homes across Liberty Hill often came with a gas fireplace or a gas insert the builder put in, and because there’s no smoke or soot, owners assume nothing accumulates. That’s not true. Gas logs still produce fine particulates, dust builds up on the burner and pilot assembly, and the venting needs to be checked for blockages just like a wood flue does.

What the job involves

We remove the logs, clean the burner and pilot, vacuum the firebox, check the venting, and verify that the gas components are seated and operating correctly. If the glass has clouded, we clean or recommend replacement on the spot. The whole thing usually takes under an hour unless we find something that needs repair.

When Liberty Hill homeowners call us

Most calls come in September and October, right before the gas fireplace gets used for the season. But we also get calls in January from homeowners who smell something off, or notice the flame burning mostly yellow instead of blue. That’s often a dirty burner or a venting issue. A gas fireplace cleaning in Liberty Hill typically runs $150 to $225.

Chimney Maintenance in Liberty Hill

Chimney Maintenance in Liberty Hill is where we catch the problems that a basic sweep doesn’t touch. A full maintenance visit includes the sweep, but we also inspect the flue, the chimney cap, the crown, the flashing, and the damper. Around here, with the wind and the occasional freeze, chimney caps loosen, crowns crack, and animals find their way in during the spring and fall. Maintenance is the thing that keeps a small issue from turning into a liner replacement.

Annual maintenance visit

For most Liberty Hill homes, one maintenance visit per year is the right cadence. If you’re burning a wood stove as primary heat from November through February, that changes. Heavy use means every 50 to 60 days of burn time, which for a full-time wood heat household can be two or even three visits per season. We’ll tell you straight what your stove’s build-up rate is after the first sweep, because the creosote itself tells us how often you need us.

What maintenance costs here

A standard chimney maintenance visit, including the sweep and a basic inspection, runs $200 to $320 on most Liberty Hill homes. If you’re on an acreage property with a long flue or a second appliance, the upper end of that range is more likely. We quote before we start, so there’s no surprise number at the end.

Trusted Brands We Service in Liberty Hill

We stock repair components from Copperfield, DuraFlex, and HeatShield, and we choose them for a specific reason: these are the same brands specified by chimney industry professionals nationwide, not the off-the-shelf substitutions that don’t hold up. When a Liberty Hill ranch home needs a liner repair, HeatShield resurfacing can extend the life of an original clay tile flue without a full replacement, which matters when the flue runs through a masonry chimney built in 1965. When a flue needs relining, DuraFlex liner installation handles the offsets and bends in older chimneys that rigid systems can’t. One call, two fire hazards addressed: if your dryer vent hasn’t been touched in years either, we’ll clean it while we’re there.

Common Chimney Sweep Problems We See in Liberty Hill Homes

• Hardened third-degree creosote from short-season burning. Liberty Hill’s hot summers mean a fireplace that runs hard from November to February, then sits idle for eight months. Creosote that’s been left in the flue through a Texas summer can glaze over into a hard, tar-like coating that a standard brush won’t remove. It takes chemical treatment and rotary cleaning, and it’s one of the biggest reasons a sweep can’t be skipped just because the fireplace was “barely used.” Hardened third-degree glaze is also a serious chimney fire fuel if you light up again without addressing it.
• Cracked original clay tile liners in older ranch homes. The ranch properties around Liberty Hill, many built between the 1950s and 1980s, often still have their original clay tile flue liners. Decades of heating and cooling cycles, plus the occasional freeze, leave those tiles cracked and gap-separated. The problem is invisible until someone looks inside with a camera. A Level 2 inspection catches the gaps before creosote can migrate through the crack and contact framing.
• Homeowner-installed wood stoves on newer properties. Liberty Hill’s exurban growth brought a wave of newer homes where the owner added a wood stove or a gas insert themselves, often without a proper liner or clearance testing. We regularly find stoves connected to flues that were never sized or rated for solid fuel, and gas inserts that were never checked for downdrafts after installation. These need an inspection, not just a sweep.
• Animal nesting in chimneys during the off-season. The open land around Liberty Hill means chimney swifts, squirrels, and raccoons are common visitors. Spring nesting blocks flues, and dead animals in a chimney create a smell that’s hard to mistake. A properly installed cap with the right mesh stops most of it, but a lot of older Liberty Hill chimneys never got one.
