Greater San Antonio · Guadalupe, Comal & Bexar Counties
Schertz stretches across Guadalupe, Comal and Bexar counties. From Northcliffe to The Crossvine, most homes have framed chases with metal covers. Our chimney sweep in Schertz handles chimney cleaning and chimney repair, and shows you pictures before any work is approved.
Does $299 stay the same, or does it grow?
Booking at $299 locks in a standard single-flue cleaning and a full Level 1 inspection together. That price does not grow once the sweep arrives. Schertz spans three counties, and homes across all of them often have framed chases worth checking closely. Why $299, not $99 →
Schertz sits northeast of San Antonio on the I-35 and I-10 corridors, and it is unusual in spanning three counties: Guadalupe, Comal and Bexar. That has practical consequences, because permits, appraisal and county services depend on which part of the city an address falls in.
The other defining feature is growth. Guadalupe County grew just over 3% between 2022 and 2023, ranking among the fastest-growing counties in Texas, and Comal County grew above 5% in the same period. Schertz sits at the meeting point of both.
That growth shows in the housing. Much of Schertz is recent suburban construction, which in chimney terms means framed chases with metal covers rather than solid masonry. The failures happen at the top: chase covers, caps and the flashing where the chase meets the roof.
On suburban housing of this age the metal lid on a framed chimney is the component that goes first. The first sign is often rust streaks down the siding, meaning water has probably already reached the framing.
Schertz spans Guadalupe, Comal and Bexar counties. It rarely matters for the chimney itself, but it does affect which county office handles permits and records for your address.
When counties grow at three to five percent a year, construction moves quickly. Fast-built housing often has chase covers with insufficient slope and caps that are only roughly sized.
Schertz sits adjacent to Randolph Air Force Base, and the area has a substantial military and veteran population. We are happy to work around deployment schedules and are used to rental and property-management arrangements.
Growing Schertz neighborhoods often need chimney cap installation and chase cover repair. Because most local homes are older, we focus on caps, chase covers and leak repairs.
Even newer flues build up creosote each burning season. An annual sweep applies regardless of how new the chimney is.
For Schertz homeowners, this category matters the most. A chase cover has to be sized correctly and sloped enough so water runs off. Fitted properly it lasts; fitted badly it pools and rots the framing beneath.
In newer construction, water most commonly enters through the flashing at the roofline. We find the actual leak path before we provide a quote.
An uncapped flue attracts nesting birds in spring regardless of the age of the house. First we remove the nest, then we install a guard to block future nesting.
Schertz spans Guadalupe, Comal and Bexar counties, northeast of San Antonio along Interstate 35.
Schertz spans Guadalupe, Comal and Bexar counties. It rarely affects the chimney work itself, but it does determine which county handles permits and property records for your address.
Both the chase cover and the cap. On suburban construction of this age these fail before anything structural does, and both are water problems rather than masonry ones.
A framed chimney chase gets topped with this metal lid, standard on newer Schertz homes instead of solid brick. If it corrodes or drains poorly, water ends up in the framing.
Yes, if you burn wood. Creosote builds up in a new flue with every fire, just as it does in an old one.
Yes. We remove the nest and fit a cap or guard afterwards, because removal without prevention just moves the problem to next spring.
No. We lay covers over the floor and hearth first and keep the vacuum running until we are done.
