Elliott Chimney Co

At Elliott Chimney Co., chimney maintenance focuses on addressing common problems that can affect safety and efficiency. These include excessive soot buildup, creosote deposits, blocked flues, unpleasant chimney odors, and restricted ventilation. Professional chimney sweeping helps remove combustible deposits and other obstructions that may interfere with proper airflow. Routine inspections can also help identify visible cracks, damaged components, or other issues that require further attention. By keeping your chimney clean and monitoring its condition, you can reduce avoidable risks and help ensure that your fireplace continues to operate as intended. Consistent maintenance is particularly important before the start of the heating season.


Diagnostic Care and Flue Restoration

Rotary Creosote Sweeping

We clear Stage 1 through Stage 3 glazed creosote deposits from firebox to flue tile using specialized rotary whips and continuous negative-air HEPA containment.

Camera Flue Inspections

High-definition 360-degree camera rigs travel the entire vertical run to document hidden clay tile cracks, mortar joint decay, and real estate safety compliance.

Crown Pouring and Tuckpointing

Weatherproof Portland-cement crowns shed standing rain away from your siding, while color-matched mortar tuckpointing reinforces spalling bricks and protects against water intrusion.

Dryer Vent Exhaust Scrubbing

High-velocity air nozzles and mechanical snakes scour packed lint through long interior duct runs, preventing dangerous laundry fires and lowering utility run times.

Dampers, Caps, and Firebox Upgrades

Mechanical components and custom sheet-metal covers installed to eliminate drafts, block rain entry, and keep wildlife out of your Hurst home.

Spark Arrestor Caps

Top-Sealing Lock Dampers

Refractory Firebox Rebuilding

Custom-fitted 304 stainless steel mesh cages halt escaping embers and lock out North Texas raccoons, squirrels, and nesting chimney swifts.

Silicone rubber gaskets mounted atop the chimney replace warped throat cast-iron plates, sealing air conditioning inside during scorching summer heat.

Damaged firebrick panels and cracked thermal mortar joints rebuilt with heat-resistant materials that withstand sustained 2,000-degree operating temperatures.

Documented Safety Sign-Off

Heavy drop runners line every foot of flooring from the front entry to the hearth, backed by an airtight negative-pressure vacuum seal.

A high-resolution scanning rig travels up the flue to log thermal fractures, missing mortar joints, or dangerous creosote glaze.

Calibrated poly and wire whip heads clean the flue liner, smoke shelf, and firebox walls while vacuum suction traps all airborne soot.
