Why does a new home in Fulshear need inspecting?
Fulshear has grown fast, so many homes have never had a full chimney inspection done. Our $299 price covers a standard single-flue cleaning along with that Level 1 inspection. Cheaper $99 ads usually charge the inspection as a separate item. Why $299, not $99 →
Fulshear sits in west Fort Bend County, beyond Katy along the FM 1093 corridor. It was a small rural town until very recently, and it has since become one of the fastest-growing places in the Houston region.
That makes Fulshear housing about as new as it gets. Cross Creek Ranch, Fulshear Creek Crossing, Jordan Ranch, and Fulshear Lakes have grown mostly in the last fifteen years. Much of the city has been built in the last decade.
For chimney work that means almost everything is a framed chase with a metal cover rather than solid masonry. The failures are at the top and they are water problems: covers, caps and the flashing where the chase meets the roof.
With most housing built in the last fifteen years, Fulshear chimneys have no mortar problems yet. The metal at the top is where attention belongs.
A chase cover needs correct sizing and enough slope to shed water. On fast-built housing that is not always what gets fitted, and pooling water rots the framing beneath.
A chimney built in 2018 still accumulates creosote every season it burns. An older flue resists decay, but creosote still builds up regardless of age.
These communities were built in phases by the same builders. A fault found on one roof is genuinely worth checking next door.
Lowes Chimney Sweep offers its complete product line throughout Fulshear. Caps, chase covers and leak work carry the emphasis because the housing here is almost entirely recent.
Newer flues still need annual sweeping if you burn wood in them.
This is the category that matters in Fulshear. Correct sizing and adequate slope are the difference between a cover that lasts and one that pools water into the framing.
Flashing at the roofline is the most common entry point on new construction. Before giving a quote, we identify exactly where the leak originates.
An uncapped flue on a new house is just as attractive to nesting birds as an old one.

Yes, though not what you might expect. New chimneys have no mortar problems, but chase covers, caps and flashing still fail, and a wood-burning flue still accumulates creosote.
It is the metal lid on top of a framed chimney chase, which is what almost every Fulshear home has instead of solid brick. Once the cover rusts through or stops shedding water, the wood chase underneath gets wet.
Usually installation rather than age. A chase cover fitted without enough slope pools water from day one, and the damage accumulates quietly.
If you burn wood, yes. Creosote accumulates regardless of the age of the flue.
Almost always the chase cover on top of the chimney rusting through. On Fulshear's newer framed chases, get it checked before the next heavy rain.
No. We cover the floor and hearth before starting and keep a dust-controlled vacuum running throughout.
