Project: Annual Maintenance Plan in Houston, TX
A completed annual maintenance plan project by Texas Chimney Experts in Houston, TX.
Every project has a story behind it — what the homeowner was dealing with, how we approached it, and how it turned out. Here’s the short version of this one, with enough detail that you can decide whether we’re the right team if you’re facing something similar.
The Challenge
A Houston homeowner had not had their chimney swept in over a decade. They smelled creosote during humid summer days and wanted to start using the fireplace again safely.
Our Approach
- Performed a Level 1 inspection with camera
- Identified a third-degree creosote glaze on the upper flue
- Used a rotary chain system to safely remove glazed creosote
- Re-inspected to confirm a clean, code-compliant flue
- Enrolled the home in an annual maintenance plan with reminders
The Result
The chimney was safe to use within a single visit, the summertime odor stopped within days, and the homeowner now gets an automatic reminder every fall for a sweep and inspection.
What the Customer Said
“The team showed up when they said they would, walked us through what they were going to do before they started, and left the place cleaner than they found it. The work speaks for itself — we couldn’t be happier.”
