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 Cibolo, TX
Alcott Chimney Sweep is the chimney company Cibolo homeowners call when they want a straight answer and a technician they can verify before the door opens. Cibolo’s mix of newer construction and 1980s-2000s masonry homes means every chimney tells a different story, and we treat it that way. Whether you’re off Main Street in an older brick home or in a newer subdivision with a prefabricated metal flue, the work starts with the same promise: a written price before anything begins. Call (903) 515-5079 and a live person answers, day or night.
Why Cibolo Homes Are Different
Cibolo’s growth from a small town to a busy San Antonio suburb created a split housing stock that changes how we approach every job. Newer homes, many with prefabricated metal chimneys, need lighter cleaning but still benefit from annual inspection. Older brick and stone homes, especially those built in the 1980s through the 2000s, often have masonry chimneys with mortar joints that have deteriorated in the heat, and some were built without modern liners at all. In subdivisions like Deer Creek and Buffalo Crossing, smoke blowback is a recurring complaint we recognize quickly: many original fireplaces went in without dampers or with poorly designed smoke chambers. Cibolo’s hot, humid summers do their own damage too. Moisture accelerates rust on metal components and pushes efflorescence through masonry. Creosote, the tar-like buildup that causes chimney fires, hardens in the heat between seasonal fires, making winter cleaning more labor-intensive than a coastal chimney would be. That’s why our crews approach a Cibolo chimney with eyes for exactly these issues rather than treating it like any other flue in Texas.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Cibolo Services
Most Cibolo homeowners reach out for one of three reasons: a chimney that needs cleaning before the first fire of winter, a home purchase or sale that requires an inspection, or a gas fireplace that won’t light or stay lit. Each service has its own dedicated Cibolo page with pricing and details.
Chimney Sweep in Cibolo
A chimney sweep in Cibolo means removing hardened creosote that’s had months of Texas heat to bake onto flue walls. In older masonry chimneys along Main Street and in established neighborhoods, that creosote often sits behind damaged mortar joints where a quick brush alone won’t reach it. We show you what we find with camera documentation so you’re never taking our word for a problem you can’t see. The goal is a flue that draws correctly and burns safely, not a rushed scrape that leaves the dangerous stuff behind. Chimney Sweep in Cibolo
Chimney Inspection in Cibolo
Chimney inspections in Cibolo run the full range: real estate transactions on newer homes where buyers want certainty, annual safety checks on older masonry chimneys, and follow-ups after storms that may have shifted flashing or cracked crowns. Cibolo’s humidity means we look closely at rust on metal components and efflorescence on brick, both signs that water is getting where it shouldn’t. Every inspection includes a written report and camera evidence, so you can see exactly what we saw. Chimney Inspection in Cibolo
Gas Fireplace Repair in Cibolo
Gas fireplaces in Cibolo often sit unused for months, then fail on the first cold evening when thermocouples, valves, or igniters give out. In homes with seasonal use patterns, we regularly find spider nests in burner tubes and corrosion on connections from humid summers. We service and install professional-grade components, which means repairs hold up through the next idle season instead of failing again next winter. If a repair doesn’t hold, our written guarantee includes a free return visit. Gas Fireplace Repair in Cibolo

What Cibolo Customers Say
"Sweep arrived in a clean uniform with a photo ID and walked me through what he'd check. Creosote buildup was heavy on the flue, and he cleared it and put down drop cloths first."
- Harold B."The report he wrote up had pictures and clear notes for the insurance. That alone was worth it."
- Garrett I."We'd had a bird nest in the flue for a year. Removed it, installed a new cap, and we finally got a draft that works. No smoke smell in the house."
- Eric Q.
