Chimney sweep logs do not sweep chimneys. They loosen some creosote - which then falls where a brush and vacuum still have to collect it.

AfterWhy San Antonio Homeowners Use These Specials
A standard chimney sweep in San Antonio typically runs $175 to $300 before any repairs, depending on the height of the flue, how long it’s been since the last cleaning, and what’s built up inside. Creosote, the tar-like residue that hardens on flue walls and causes chimney fires, builds faster in humid winters when fires burn cooler. Around Alamo Heights, Terrell Hills, and the older neighborhoods near Brackenridge Park, we regularly see chimneys that have gone years without attention because the fireplace was used only occasionally, and the homeowner assumed occasional use meant no buildup. That assumption is expensive. A camera inspection shows you in five minutes what we’re seeing, and the photo report means you don’t have to take anyone’s word for it.
Alcott Chimney San Antonio has been serving San Antonio homeowners since 2002 as part of the Threshold Group family of home-service companies. Every technician we send out passes a background check and identity verification before they ever step on your property. That’s the Threshold Standard, not an optional add-on. You’ll know the technician’s name and see their photo before we arrive, and they’ll show a photo ID badge at the door every time, no exceptions.
Frequently Asked Questions
A standard chimney sweep in San Antonio typically runs $175 to $300 before any repairs. Your exact price depends on the flue height, the amount of creosote present, and whether the chimney has any obstructions. We give every customer a written price before any work begins, so you’ll see the exact number before you commit. Call (903) 515-5079 for an exact quote; estimates are free.
Not always, and you shouldn’t have to guess. At Alcott Chimney San Antonio, we don’t recommend liner work without camera evidence you can see yourself. If we tell you a liner needs replacing, we’ll show you the photos that prove it. We carry and install DuraFlex liner systems, along with HeatShield resurfacing when the damage is surface-level. Sometimes the right answer is a repair, not a replacement. Call (903) 515-5079 and we’ll show you what we see.
For most San Antonio homes, once a year is right if you use the fireplace regularly during the colder months. If you burn soft woods or use the fireplace daily, twice a year is safer. Gas fireplaces need less frequent sweeping but still benefit from an annual seasonal tuning and inspection. We’ll tell you at the end of each visit when we’d want to come back, and we’ll put it in writing.
The main risk is creosote buildup reaching a thickness where a stray spark ignites it. Chimney fires burn hot enough to crack flue tiles and compromise the masonry, and that’s when a $200 sweep becomes a multi-thousand-dollar rebuild. There’s also the carbon monoxide risk if a blocked flue pushes exhaust back into the house. Neither is worth gambling on. Call (903) 515-5079 and we’ll get you on the schedule.
