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 Georgetown, TX
Chimney repair in Georgetown, TX most often comes down to two problems: original brick fireplaces in the older downtown homes need crown and flashing work after decades of Central Texas weather, and the 1980s – 2000s subdivisions on the east and west sides need chase covers and liners addressed. We’re Resolute Chimney Sweep, and we’ve served Georgetown since 2014. When a sweep turns up a cracked flue tile or a rusted-out chase, we fix it with the right materials rather than sending you to someone else. Call (877) 644-8036 for an estimate.
Why Georgetown Homes Are Different
Georgetown’s housing runs in two distinct generations, and each one fails differently. The Victorian and early-1900s homes around downtown still have original masonry chimneys with narrow, unlined or clay-tile flues. Many of those chimneys never got a proper cap, so every spring rain and the Red Poppy Capital’s abundant March and April pollen blow straight down the flue and settle onto creosote that baked hard during the long, idle summer. We see the same April pattern year after year: a grey, sticky paste of pollen and creosote coating the flue walls, followed by a homeowner who wants to know why the fireplace smells musty.
The 1980s – 2000s subdivisions east and west of downtown are a different animal. Those homes have prefabricated metal fireplaces with chase covers that collect leaves from the fall, then hold water after a freeze-thaw cycle. Georgetown’s hot summers mean the chimney sits unused for months, which gives animals time to build nests and lets creosote harden into a glossy, tar-like glaze that’s harder to remove than the flaky stuff. When a cold snap hits, those chimneys get fired up hard, and that’s when the risk spikes. The weather here doesn’t wear chimneys out slowly and evenly; it does nothing for months, then tests them all at once.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Georgetown Services
Most Georgetown homeowners reach out to us for one of two reasons: a chimney that has not been swept in years, or a dryer vent that is quietly building up lint behind the wall. Both are combustion and exhaust safety issues, and both are covered by the same company.
Chimney Sweep in Georgetown
A proper sweep in Georgetown removes creosote, pollen debris, and any animal nesting from the flue, then ends with an inspection of the liner, crown, and cap. Downtown homes with original brick chimneys almost always need a closer look at the mortar joints, while the prefab units in newer subdivisions often have debris piled on the chase cover. We document everything we find so you can see it for yourself. Chimney Sweep in Georgetown covers the full scope of cleaning and inspection work in this area.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Georgetown
Dryer vents in Georgetown homes collect lint, and in older homes the vent runs are often long, narrow, or made of corrugated foil that catches more than it should. A clogged dryer vent is a leading cause of residential structure fires, and the Georgetown climate does not help: hot, dry summers mean the lint inside the vent is already primed to ignite. We clean the full run from the dryer to the exterior termination. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Georgetown explains the process and why it matters here.

Chimney Repair in Georgetown
Chimney repair in Georgetown usually starts with a problem we find during a sweep. A hairline crack in a clay tile liner, a rusted chase cover on a 1990s prefab unit, a spalling brick crown on a 1910 downtown chimney: these are not rare here, and they get worse every freeze-thaw cycle. Georgetown’s climate alternates between months of dry heat and sudden hard freezes, which is exactly the combination that turns small masonry defects into structural problems. Our position is simple: if we find it during the sweep, we can fix it, and we use the same professional-grade components that certified chimney professionals specify, not hardware-store substitutes. For the full scope of repair work, see Chimney Repair.
Chimney Cap Installation
Signs you need it
You need a cap if rain, leaves, or birds are getting into the flue, or if you can look down from the roof and see an open flue with nothing on top.
What it costs in Georgetown
Chimney cap installation in Georgetown typically runs $150 – $250 for a standard single-flue cap, and $300 – $500 if a custom stainless cap is needed for a multi-flue or odd-sized downtown chimney.
How we do it
We measure the flue, select a properly sized stainless or galvanized cap, secure it to the crown or flue tile, and test the fit so it cannot blow loose in a Georgetown windstorm.
Chimney Liner Installation
Signs you need it
You need a new liner if the old clay tiles are cracked or missing, if you see flue fragments in the firebox, or if the chimney fails a visual inspection following a chimney fire.
What it costs in Georgetown
Chimney liner installation in Georgetown typically ranges from $2,000 – $5,000 for a stainless steel liner system, depending on flue height and whether an insulation wrap is required.
How we do it
We size the liner to the appliance, pull a DuraFlex stainless system through the existing flue, insulate where code requires, and connect it at the top and bottom so the chimney vents correctly.
Chimney Crown Repair
Signs you need it
You need crown work if the concrete crown at the top of the chimney is cracked, spalling, or missing chunks, or if water is staining the ceiling near the fireplace after rain.
What it costs in Georgetown
Chimney crown repair in Georgetown typically runs $750 – $1,500, depending on whether we can seal and resurface the existing crown or need to rebuild it entirely.
How we do it
We clean the crown surface, fill cracks and rebuild missing material with the right cementitious mix, and slope the finish so water drains away from the flue instead of pooling.
What Chimney Repair Costs in Georgetown
| Item | Typical range in Georgetown |
|---|---|
| Chimney cap installation | $150 – $500 |
| Chimney crown repair | $750 – $1,500 |
| Chimney liner installation | $2,000 – $5,000 |
Do I really need a new liner, or can the old one be patched?
If the clay tiles are cracked or missing, patching is not a safe fix. A compromised liner lets heat and combustion gases reach the chimney structure. We will show you camera footage before recommending replacement, so you know exactly what you are paying for.
Can chimney repair in Georgetown wait until next season?
Minor crown cracks can sometimes wait a few months if you stop using the fireplace, but liner damage should not. Water and freeze-thaw cycles work fast here. Call (877) 644-8036 and we will tell you plainly what can wait and what cannot.
Brands We Service in Georgetown
We stock and install components from brands sold through professional chimney supply channels: HeatShield for liner resurfacing, DuraFlex for stainless relining systems, and Gelco and Famco for caps and termination hardware. Having these parts on hand in Georgetown means most standard repairs start the day we diagnose them. See our brands for the full line.

Two things push a Georgetown quote higher than the baseline: first, the age of the home. A downtown chimney with a narrow, original flue takes longer to clean safely, and any repair on a hundred-year-old masonry structure has unknowns. Second, deferred maintenance. A chase cover that has been rusting for five years often means the framing under it needs work too. We give a flat-price quote before any repair begins, and the price we agree on is the price you pay.
