How a Clean Chimney & Dryer Vent Can Save Your Home

Chimney fires and dryer vent blockages cause thousands of preventable house fires every year. Most homeowners don’t realize how fast lint buildup or creosote deposits can put their home—and their loved ones—at risk. That’s where Mr. Sweeps chimney and dryer vent cleaning service comes in. Since 1982, our family-owned, no-shortcuts business has served homeowners across Fort Worth, Keller, Arlington, Grapevine, and beyond with honest, expert chimney and dryer vent cleaning services.

We’re not a big box operation. Doug Callaway built Mr. Sweeps chimney and dryer vent cleaning service from the ground up with a “no mass guarantee,” meaning you’ll never be treated like a number. Every job is done with the care and thoroughness you'd expect from someone cleaning their own chimney—and that’s the standard we bring to every home, every time.

So why exactly should you be paying attention to your chimney and dryer vent? Let’s break it down.

Chimney Sweeping That Protects More Than Just Your Fireplace

You might think your chimney is in good shape just because you don’t see any visible damage—but that’s rarely the case. Over time, wood-burning fireplaces deposit creosote, a sticky, flammable substance that coats the inside of your chimney liner. This is one of the leading causes of chimney fires.

At Mr. Sweeps chimney and dryer vent cleaning service, our chimney sweeping process is thorough. We use advanced tools to remove creosote buildup, animal nests, soot, and other debris that can clog or damage your chimney system. Plus, we clean with your home in mind—no ash left behind.

Residents in Bridgeport, Decatur, and Weatherford trust us because we do more than sweep—we check the integrity of your flue, chimney liner, and damper to make sure everything is venting properly. This not only improves safety but can also improve the draw and efficiency of your fireplace.

Chimney Inspections: Spot the Small Problems Before They’re Big

Whether it’s a minor crack in your flue or a misaligned chimney cap, small issues can quickly turn into expensive repairs—or worse, dangerous situations. That’s why routine chimney inspections are so important.

Our inspections follow NFPA Level 1 and Level 2 standards depending on your needs. We use professional video scanning equipment and experienced eyes to examine your chimney top to bottom. If you're in Fort Worth, Grapevine, or Mansfield and it’s been more than a year since your last inspection, now’s the time to book one.

We’ve caught everything from crumbling brickwork to flue obstructions before they became costly repairs. And because we’re local, we understand the wear and tear Texas weather puts on your chimney year-round.

Dryer Vent Cleaning: A Hidden Fire Risk in Your Home

Here’s a stat that’ll make you check your laundry room: over 15,000 house fires a year are caused by clogged dryer vents. That lint trap you empty? It only catches about 25% of what actually gets pushed through the vent hose.

Mr. Sweeps chimney and dryer vent cleaning service offers dryer vent cleaning services that go deep—removing built-up lint, animal nests, and trapped debris from your entire vent system. We service everything from the back of the dryer to the external vent cap.

Homeowners in Aledo, Crowley, and Brock often don’t realize their dryer vent needs cleaning until their clothes start taking longer to dry, or the dryer itself gets hotter than usual. Let’s fix that before it becomes a hazard. Not only can you prevent a fire, but you’ll also extend the life of your dryer and lower your energy bills.

Chimney Cap Installation: A Simple Fix That Solves Big Problems

You’d be surprised how many issues a good chimney cap can prevent. From birds nesting in your flue to rainwater soaking your bricks, an uncovered chimney invites all kinds of problems into your home.

We install properly fitted chimney caps designed to keep moisture, critters, and debris out. This one-time fix can save you thousands in repairs and protect the inner structure of your chimney from deterioration.

Folks in Keller, Arlington, and Burleson have called us after hearing scratching sounds coming from their fireplace—only to find out a raccoon or squirrel made their chimney home. Don’t let that happen to you. A professionally installed cap is a small investment with big protection.
