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 Anderson Mill, TX
Chimney repair in Anderson Mill usually means working on a 45-plus-year-old masonry fireplace that was built when energy codes were loose and flue liners were considered optional. We’re Resolute Chimney Sweep, and we’ve served Anderson Mill since 2014. Most of our repair calls here start with a sweep that uncovers cracked mortar, a missing cap, or a flue that was never sized correctly for the firebox. If you’re seeing spalling brick, water stains near the hearth, or a fireplace that smokes back into the living room on cold nights, call (877) 644-8036. We’ll get eyes on it, show you what we find, and fix it with materials built for the job.
Why Anderson Mill Homes Are Different
Anderson Mill is a 1970s-era planned community, and that matters more than most homeowners realize when it comes to chimney work. The housing stock is dominated by original brick-and-masonry fireplaces built to the looser standards of that period. Many of these flues are undersized for the firebox they serve, and a surprising number were constructed without modern clay or steel liners. What that means in practice: a routine cleaning here is rarely routine. We’re negotiating aging, non-conforming flue systems, often before the first real cold front pushes a family to light the season’s first fire.
Central Texas heat and humidity do their own damage. Masonry cracks and spalls over decades of expansion and contraction. The long cooling season, when fireplaces sit dormant from March through November, gives birds, squirrels, and wasps months to move into unused flues without anyone noticing. Then a blue norther hits, the fire gets lit, and the nest you didn’t know about becomes a chimney fire hazard or a smoke-filled living room. In Anderson Mill, the first really cold weekend after Thanksgiving triggers a run on chimney cleanings, and our techs routinely find bird nests and wasp colonies packed into flues that haven’t seen a fire since February.
Some homes here have been updated with modern gas inserts during remodels, but the majority of chimneys are still original. That means the work we do in the 78729 ZIP code consistently involves older masonry, outdated flashing details, and caps that rusted away years ago. If you own one of these homes, you’re not alone, and the problems you’re seeing are ones we’ve corrected many times before.
Key takeaways: Anderson Mill chimneys are old, many lack proper liners, the climate accelerates masonry wear, and dormant flues attract animals. None of this is a surprise to us. It’s the baseline we work from.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Anderson Mill Services
Most Anderson Mill homeowners call us for one of two reasons: the fireplace hasn’t been cleaned in years and the first cold weekend is coming, or the dryer vent hasn’t been touched since the house was built and the dryer takes two cycles to finish a load. Both are safety issues, and both are jobs we handle directly.
Chimney Sweep in Anderson Mill
A chimney sweep in Anderson Mill almost always involves more than brushing out soot. Given the age and non-conforming build of so many flues here, we inspect as we clean. That means checking for animal nests, measuring creosote thickness, looking for cracked flue tiles, and confirming the flue and firebox are actually compatible. Homes in this area frequently have heavy creosote buildup after the short but intense winter burning season. We clean to the point where the flue is safe for the next fire, and we tell you plainly what we found. Chimney Sweep in Anderson Mill covers this service in depth, including what to expect from start to finish.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Anderson Mill
Dryer vents in Anderson Mill are often the original 1970s or 1980s installations, which means rigid or semi-rigid duct that has been collecting lint for decades. Central Texas humidity causes lint to clump and adhere inside the duct, restricting airflow. The symptom is a dryer that runs longer and clothes that come out damp. The risk is a lint fire inside the wall. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Anderson Mill explains how we clear the entire run, from the dryer connection to the exterior vent cap, and why this service belongs on the same maintenance schedule as your chimney.

Chimney Repair in Anderson Mill
Chimney repair in Anderson Mill is the core of what we do here, and it’s the work that separates a full-service chimney company from a cleaning crew. In this housing stock, we’re regularly repairing flues that were built undersized or without liners, plus the damage that 45 years of Central Texas weather does to exposed masonry. When we find a cracked flue, a rusted-out cap, or flashing that’s failed, we don’t send you to a general contractor. We fix it ourselves using professional-grade components from manufacturers like DuraFlex and HeatShield. One call covers the sweep, the vent, and the repair, which means a problem found during the sweep is a problem fixed by us, not passed off to someone else. Learn more about our Chimney Repair scope if you want the full breakdown of what we handle.
Chimney Cap Installation
Signs you need it
Birds, squirrels, or wasps in the flue, water damage inside the firebox, or no cap visible on the chimney crown at all.
What it costs in Anderson Mill
Chimney cap installation at Anderson Mill homes typically runs $257 to $847 depending on the cap size and chimney material.
How we do it
We measure the flue opening, confirm the crown condition, and install a stainless or copper cap with a screened spark arrestor that keeps animals out and embers in.
Chimney Liner Installation
Signs you need it
Crumbling flue tile pieces in the firebox, an unlined flue discovered during a sweep, or smoke and carbon monoxide entering the home instead of venting upward.
What it costs in Anderson Mill
Chimney liner installation in Anderson Mill typically ranges from $2,730 to $8,732 for mid-range to high-end projects depending on liner type and chimney height.
How we do it
We size the flue correctly for the firebox, pull a DuraFlex flexible stainless liner through the existing flue, and insulate where heat transfer against old masonry is a risk.
Chimney Flashing Repair
Signs you need it
Water staining on ceilings near the chimney, damp drywall around the hearth, or visible gaps between the roof and chimney where the old flashing has lifted.
What it costs in Anderson Mill
Chimney flashing repair at Anderson Mill homes typically runs $247 to $597 when the flashing can be resealed, and up to $647 to $1,447 when metal needs replacing.
How we do it
We strip the old sealant, inspect the metal for rust-through, and install or reseal the flashing with masonry-rated sealant so water runs away from the chimney instead of into the attic.
What Chimney Repair Costs in Anderson Mill
| Item | Typical range in Anderson Mill |
|---|---|
| Chimney cap installation | $257 – $847 |
| Chimney flashing repair (reseal) | $247 – $597 |
| Chimney liner installation | $2,730 – $8,732 |
Do I really need a new liner, or can I wait?
If your flue is unlined or the existing clay tiles are cracked, waiting is a gamble. Cracks let heat and combustion gases reach the masonry and framing around the flue. In Anderson Mill, where so many original flues were built undersized, getting a camera inspection is the only way to know. Call (877) 644-8036 and we’ll show you the footage before recommending anything.
Will my Anderson Mill HOA require approval for chimney repair?
Most Anderson Mill HOAs care about what’s visible from the street, which usually means caps, crowns, and flashing must match the original material. We’ve handled enough work in this area to know what’s typically needed. We’ll flag anything that could require review before the work starts. Call (877) 644-8036 and we can talk through your specific street.
Brands We Service in Anderson Mill
We stock and install components from DuraFlex, HeatShield, Gelco, and Copperfield, the same professional-grade brands specified by certified chimney professionals. That means parts are available locally for Anderson Mill jobs without waiting on retail-chain backorder. Our brands page lists the full lineup and why we choose them over hardware-store substitutes. The right material for the repair is a choice we make every time.

Undersized flues, missing liners, and masonry that has cracked or spalled over 45-plus years mean more prep work and more material before the actual repair begins. We quote a flat price before starting, and we never add on surprise charges after the fact. If we find something new while working, we stop, show you, and get your sign-off first.

FAQs About Chimney Company in Anderson Mill
Most Anderson Mill calls get on the schedule within a week. If you’re calling right before a cold snap, we do our best to prioritize homes with visible damage or active animal infestations. The busiest window is the first cold weekend after Thanksgiving, so calling early beats waiting. Our phone line is (877) 644-8036.
No. The majority of original Anderson Mill chimneys we inspect have at least one issue, and it’s usually an unlined or undersized flue, a rusted cap, or cracked mortar at the crown. That’s not a sales line. It’s what 45-plus years of Central Texas weather and 1970s building standards produce. We show you the camera footage so you can see it yourself.
We handle the chimney itself, and most repair work, like liners and flashing, doesn’t require a city permit. The HOA question depends on the neighborhood. What’s visible from the street, like a cap or crown, can require matching materials, and we’ll flag that up front. For specific questions about your subdivision, call (877) 644-8036 and we’ll point you the right direction.
If your Anderson Mill chimney hasn’t been looked at in years, or you’re seeing rust, water, or animal activity around it, don’t wait for the smoke to back up into the living room.

What Anderson Mill Customers Say
"Creosote buildup was worse than I realized. He measured it, showed me the glazing on the flue with the camera, and was honest that we were closer to a chimney fire than I wanted to hear."
— Gabriela Castillo"Crown was cracked and taking water. Repaired it rather than quoting a rebuild, which the previous company had pushed hard for."
— Eduardo Reyes"Swept it, capped it, and installed a proper damper. The downdraft smell in the summer that we'd lived with for years is gone."
— Rami Haddad
