Signs Your Keller Chimney Needs a Sweep
Chimney Sweep Pro clears the buildup behind these signs, which rarely show up alone.
Campfire or Tar Smell
A campfire or tar smell from the fireplace, even when it is cold, is a clear sign a sweep is due.
Soot or a Shiny Coating
Dark soot, or a shiny coating, on the damper or flue walls. A shiny, hard coating is the most dangerous kind of buildup.
Weak Draft or Smoke in the Room
A weak draft, or smoke coming into the room. Do not light another fire until the cause is found.
More Than a Year Since Your Last Sweep
It has been more than a year since your last sweep.
Home Sale, Storm, or Chimney Fire
A home sale, a storm, or a chimney fire also calls for a closer look at the flue.

A chimney sweep cleans the flue, the passage that carries smoke out of your house. It also clears the smoke shelf, the ledge behind the damper that catches debris, and the smoke chamber, the sloped space above the firebox. The damper is the plate that opens and closes the flue.
A Level 1 inspection is a visual check of the parts of your chimney that can be reached without special tools.

Standard Sweep or Sweep With Level 2?
Choose the standard sweep for routine upkeep, and add a Level 2 video inspection when a situation calls for a closer look.
| Choice | What You Get | When It Fits |
|---|---|---|
| Standard sweep | Full flue cleaning, a Level 1 inspection, and a written report | Routine yearly upkeep, with no known problems |
| Sweep with Level 2 video inspection | The standard sweep, plus a video scan of the flue's interior | Buying or selling a home, after a storm or chimney fire, or 3 or more years since your last Level 2 inspection |
For the full comparison of a sweep, an inspection, and a repair, see our chimney sweep in Fort Worth page. Our chimney inspection page explains all three inspection levels, and chimney repair covers damage that cleaning can't fix.
Soot and creosote build with every fire, so waiting only adds to what the sweep has to remove. A soft layer left too long can harden into a glaze that is harder to clear.
Now:
Smoke backing into the room, or any sign of a chimney fire. Stop using the fireplace. If there is smoke inside or a carbon monoxide alarm, get everyone out and call 911.
Soon:
A shiny coating, a tar smell, or a weak draft.
Can Wait:
A routine sweep with no symptoms, ideally before the first fire of the season.
Sweeping a chimney yourself is not a good idea. Buildup and glaze are hard to judge from below without a light or camera, and the roof is a fall risk.
Sweep records and the written condition report show how the chimney was maintained, which can help if you file a claim. Check your policy or ask your agent.

Chimney Sweep for Keller Homes
A Typical Keller Home Is From 1999
Census-based housing data puts 1999 as the median build year for Keller homes, with almost none built before 1950. That puts the typical Keller chimney at about 27 years old, not a century-old masonry stack.
Years of Seasons on Your Chimney
A chimney that has been through that many seasons can have wear that hasn't shown up yet. A yearly Level 1 inspection catches it early, and a sweep clears what has built up in the meantime. Older masonry chimneys in Fort Worth's historic neighborhoods wear differently, and our chimney sweep in Fort Worth page covers them.

Chimney Sweep FAQs for Keller Homeowners
What sets Chimney Sweep Pro's chimney sweep in Keller apart?
Every sweep includes a Level 1 inspection of all accessible components and ends with a written condition report, so you get a record along with a clean flue. We clean the whole flue from the firebox to the crown, and a HEPA-filtered vacuum keeps the soot out of your home.
What does the Level 1 inspection cover during a Keller sweep?
A Level 1 inspection is a visual check of the parts of your chimney that can be reached without special tools: the firebox, damper, smoke shelf, flue liner, and visible exterior crown. It does not include a video scan of the flue's interior, which is the Level 2 option. NFPA 211 is the national standard that defines what a Level 1 inspection must cover.
What does a chimney sweep in Keller include?
A sweep includes containment setup with a HEPA-filtered vacuum, full rotary flue cleaning from the firebox to the crown, and smoke shelf and smoke chamber cleaning. It also includes a Level 1 visual inspection, a firebox and damper assessment, and a written post-sweep condition report.
How long does a chimney sweep in Keller take?
A chimney sweep in Keller usually takes 45 to 90 minutes. The time depends on your fireplace size, how much creosote has built up, and whether you add a Level 2 video inspection, which adds time. The technician confirms the price in writing before cleaning starts.
How much does a chimney sweep cost in Keller?
A chimney sweep costs $150-$300 in Keller, based on fireplace size and how much buildup the flue holds. A sweep with a Level 2 video inspection costs $250-$350. The technician confirms your price in writing before cleaning starts. Call (682) 354-6644 to book.
Which cities near Keller do you serve for chimney sweeping?
We sweep chimneys in Keller, Southlake, and North Richland Hills. The service and the pricing tiers are the same in each city. Chimney Sweep Pro is based in Saginaw, and our chimney sweep in Fort Worth page lists the other cities we serve. Ask when you call if your city is not listed.
When should I add a Level 2 video inspection to a chimney sweep in Keller?
Add a Level 2 inspection when you are buying or selling a home, after a storm or a chimney fire, or when it has been 3 or more years since your last one. A Level 2 scans the flue's interior with a camera, which a Level 1 visual check can't reach.
What happens if the sweep finds damage in my chimney?
The technician explains what was found and what it means. Any repair is quoted separately in writing, and no repair work starts without your approval. See our chimney repair page for the repair types and what they cost.
How often should a chimney in Keller be swept?
Aim for a yearly chimney inspection, with a sweep once soot or creosote has built up to around 1/8 inch thick, or sooner at the first sign of glazed creosote. The Chimney Safety Institute of America publishes this guidance for homeowners. Heavy use reaches that point sooner than light use.
What is the difference between a standard sweep and a sweep with a Level 2 inspection?
A standard sweep cleans the flue and includes a Level 1 visual inspection, for $150-$300. The Level 2 version adds a camera scan of the flue's interior for $250-$350. Choose the standard sweep for routine upkeep, and add the scan for a home sale, a storm, or a chimney fire.
