From the tall stucco chases of Las Colinas to the brick chimneys of historic downtown Irving, our certified sweeps clear soot and creosote before hail and wind-driven rain find the cracks.
Irving's chimneys live two very different lives. In Las Colinas and Valley Ranch, tall EIFS and stucco chases rise above newer builds, catching every gust off Lake Carolyn. In central Irving and near historic downtown, older mid-century brick chimneys have been quietly collecting creosote for decades. Whichever camp your home falls into, an annual sweep is the one service that keeps both types safe, and Lowes Chimney Sweep handles it top to bottom, seven days a week, for homeowners across the city.
Every time you burn wood, a layer of soot and creosote builds up inside the flue. It's flammable, it narrows the airway, and it doesn't announce itself until a chimney fire or a smoky living room forces the issue. A standard sweep removes that buildup before it becomes a problem, which is why it's the most requested service we perform — and often the first step before any chimney inspection or repair work even gets scheduled.
Our technicians brush the flue from the top down, dislodging creosote and soot along the entire interior liner, then work from the firebox to capture what falls. HEPA-filtered vacuum equipment keeps that debris out of your living room rather than settling on your furniture. Once the flue is clean, we perform a visual safety check of the smoke chamber, damper, and accessible liner so you know exactly what condition your system is in before we leave.
This is where local conditions really matter. Las Colinas and Valley Ranch chases often stand well above the roofline, and that extra height means more exposure to hail, sideways rain, and the humidity swings that roll through North Texas. Stucco and EIFS chases can hide moisture intrusion behind an intact-looking surface, so soot buildup and dampness sometimes go unnoticed together. Meanwhile, the clay soil under much of Irving expands and contracts with the seasons, which can shift older masonry chimneys in central Irving and near historic downtown just enough to open hairline gaps at the flue joints. None of that shows up during a casual glance from the yard — it shows up during a sweep, when a technician is actually inside the flue looking for it. Homes closer to Hackberry Creek see similar wear from moisture and temperature swings, which is another reason we recommend sweeping on a yearly schedule rather than waiting for a problem.
We serve Las Colinas, Valley Ranch, and every neighborhood in between, seven days a week.
(214) 225-8874A sweep clears the flue, but it isn't the only line of defense for an Irving chimney. A properly fitted chimney cap keeps wind-driven rain and hail debris out of the flue between visits, which matters most on the exposed chases common in Las Colinas. If your sweep turns up mortar erosion from clay-soil movement, masonry repair addresses the structure itself rather than just what's inside it. And if you've never had your system looked at, pairing a sweep with dryer vent cleaning on the same visit is a practical way to cover two maintenance items at once. For homeowners still deciding how often this needs to happen, our post on how often chimneys really need sweeping lays out the reasoning, and the warning signs of creosote buildup goes into more detail on what technicians look for.
Our chimney sweep services start at $99, though the final price depends on a few real factors: how much creosote has built up, whether the flue is straight or has offsets that slow the brushing down, how accessible the chimney is on a two-story Las Colinas home versus a single-story ranch in central Irving, and whether the visual check turns up anything that needs a closer look.

Most Irving homeowners who burn wood regularly need a sweep once a year, ideally before the first cold snap. Homes in Las Colinas with tall exposed chases sometimes need a closer look after a bad hailstorm, since debris can work its way into the flue. If you burn less often, an annual visual check still helps catch clay-soil movement before it becomes a bigger issue.
No. We use HEPA-filtered vacuum equipment to contain dust and debris while brushing the flue, so soot stays out of your living room. This matters especially in older central Irving homes where the fireplace opens directly into a main living area.
Stucco and EIFS chases, common on newer Las Colinas and Valley Ranch builds, can trap moisture behind an intact-looking surface. During the sweep and visual check, our technicians look for signs of dampness or staining that might indicate the chase is letting water in, separate from the interior creosote removal.
We'll walk you through exactly what we found and explain your options, whether that's a simple repair or a more involved fix. Clay-soil shifting is a real factor for older masonry chimneys around historic downtown Irving, so mortar issues aren't unusual there.
Chimney sweep services start at $99, and the exact price depends on flue condition, accessibility, and what the visual inspection turns up. Call (214) 225-8874 or request a Free Online Quote and we'll give you a clear number before any work begins.
