Greater San Antonio · Comal County
From the historic 1845 downtown to newer Vintage Oaks homes, we work all over New Braunfels. Our chimney sweep in New Braunfels team handles both old stone and new builds. You see photos of what we find, then get chimney cleaning and chimney repair for either kind.
How does $299 help me avoid a second visit?
A second trip can follow when the inspection gets left out. Our $299 price already covers a standard single-flue cleaning and a full Level 1 inspection together. New Braunfels was founded in 1845, and its older masonry often needs a careful check. Why $299, not $99 →
New Braunfels is the seat of Comal County, on the I-35 corridor between San Antonio and Austin. It was founded in 1845 by German immigrants under the Adelsverein, and the historic district and the neighboring community of Gruene carry building stock from that era.
It is also growing extremely fast. Comal County was the fourth-fastest-growing county in Texas by percentage between 2022 and 2023, rising just over 5% in a single year. That combination is what makes New Braunfels unusual: genuinely old masonry in the historic core, and large volumes of new construction spreading outward from it.
Both kinds of chimney exist here in quantity. A nineteenth-century limestone or brick chimney needs different work than a framed chase from last year. We do not assume which one is on the roof before looking.
The old town and Gruene carry nineteenth-century masonry where mortar condition and crown integrity matter most. The newer subdivisions spreading out along the corridor are framed chase construction where covers and caps fail first.
New Braunfels sits where the Comal and Guadalupe rivers meet. If floodwater has ever reached a firebox, the chimney should be inspected before use, because damage to a liner or damper is not visible from the room.
New Braunfels sits at the eastern edge of the Hill Country, cooler than the coastal plain. Fireplaces here are used through the winter rather than lit twice a year, and creosote accumulates accordingly.
When a county grows above 5% in a year, construction happens quickly. Chase covers fitted without adequate slope and caps sized approximately rather than correctly are faults we find in fast-built housing everywhere.
The full Lowes Chimney Sweep inventory is available across New Braunfels and Comal County. Which services matter most depends on whether your home is in the historic core or the newer growth, and we tell you that after looking.
Fireplaces at the Hill Country edge get genuine winter use. An annual sweep before the season applies here more than it does further south.
In the newer subdivisions this is the category that matters. If a chase cover is not sized right or sloped enough, water pools and rots the framing below it.
Whether water enters through failed mortar or a rusted chase cover depends entirely on which kind of chimney you have. We locate the actual entry point before we ever give a price.
In the historic district and Gruene, mortar fails before stone or brick does. Repointing at the right moment prevents structural work later, and older masonry needs appropriate materials rather than modern hard cement.
New Braunfels is the seat of Comal County, on the I-35 corridor between San Antonio and Austin.
Yes. Nineteenth-century masonry was built with soft lime mortar, and repointing with modern hard cement traps moisture and damages the stone. Before we recommend anything, we take a look at what is already there.
For a fireplace used often, once a year cleaning is the standard. Sitting at the Hill Country edge, fireplaces here get genuine winter use and accumulate creosote accordingly.
The chase cover and cap. On newer builds, these parts give out before any structural issue appears, and both come down to water.
Yes. If the firebox took on floodwater, get the chimney inspected first. Water damages liners, dampers and fireboxes in ways that are not visible from the room.
