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 Grapevine, TX
Ashby Chimney Sweep handles chimney cleaning, inspection, and fireplace repair across Grapevine, Texas. Most chimney sweeps in Grapevine run between $189 and $329, though the final number depends on what we find once we’re on the roof. If you’re seeing soot streaks, smelling smoke in the house, or just haven’t had the flue looked at in a few years, call (361) 314-3193 and we’ll give you a written price before any work begins.
Why Grapevine Homes Are Different
Grapevine’s housing stock is mostly single-family homes built between the 1970s and early 2000s, and a lot of them have traditional masonry fireplaces with brick veneer chimneys. Two-story brick homes are common here, which means taller chimneys, more wind exposure, and more places for water to get in when storms roll through. The clay-rich soil under Grapevine also shifts with moisture, and that movement gets transferred straight up through the chimney stack. We regularly see hairline cracks in flue tiles and small separations at the roofline that homeowners never notice until an inspection catches them.
Freeze-thaw cycles do their part too. Grapevine winters are usually mild, but the occasional hard freeze followed by a warm afternoon stresses mortar joints and brick faces. Add in hot, humid summers and you get spalling brick faster than you’d see in drier parts of North Texas. The older neighborhoods around Main Street have their own story: many of those original chimneys were built with unlined or poorly lined flues, and we often recommend stainless steel liners long before a homeowner notices any smoke issue.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Grapevine Services
Most Grapevine homeowners call us for one of three things: a chimney sweep, a chimney inspection, or a fireplace repair. Each has its own page below.
Chimney Sweep in Grapevine
A Chimney Sweep in Grapevine means more than running a brush up the flue. We remove creosote, clear out soot and debris, and check the damper and smoke shelf while we’re in there. Because Grapevine sees bursts of fireplace use during cold snaps rather than steady daily burning, creosote tends to build in layers with months of sitting time between fires. We clean it all out, leave your hearth and floors covered and clean, and report anything we saw that needs attention.
Chimney Inspection in Grapevine
Our Chimney Inspection in Grapevine is a camera-based look at the whole system, from the crown down to the firebox. Given Grapevine’s clay soil and the freeze-thaw cycle, we’re looking specifically for cracked flue tiles, mortar joint failures, and any sign the chimney has pulled away from the house. We show you what we see, not just tell you. Every inspection includes a written report with photos, so you’re never asked to approve a repair on faith.
Fireplace Repair in Grapevine
When a fireplace in Grapevine stops working right, the fix is often inside the flue, not the firebox. Fireplace Repair in Grapevine covers everything from cracked panels and bad dampers to full flue liner replacement. Soil movement here means we see more chimney separation and cracked tiles than in neighboring cities, and that’s a repair you want done with the right materials, not whatever was left in the van. We source from DuraFlex, HeatShield, and other chimney-trade brands so the fix holds.

What Grapevine Customers Say
"The amount of creosote they pulled out was scary. He said we were overdue and explained the fire risk without being dramatic about it. Clean, careful, left the hearth spotless."
- Caroline Webb"First time owning a house with a fireplace and I had no clue. The guy was patient, walked me through what's safe and what isn't, and didn't make me feel dumb. Priced it before he started."
- Yolanda Reese"Sweep was done well and the price was fair. I did have to call twice to get the inspection report emailed over, but once I reached them they sent it right away. Fireplace is working great."
