Why Fort Worth Homeowners Shouldn’t Skip Chimney & Dryer Vent Care

When was the last time you had your chimney or dryer vent professionally cleaned? If you can’t remember—or you’ve never had it done—don’t worry, you’re not alone. But you are taking a big risk. At Mr. Sweeps chimney and dryer vent cleaning service, we’ve seen firsthand how quickly a neglected fireplace or dryer vent can turn from a minor issue into a major problem.

For over four decades, we’ve helped homeowners in Fort Worth, Keller, Grapevine, Arlington, and beyond protect their homes with expert chimney sweeping, thorough inspections, reliable dryer vent cleanings, and solid chimney cap installations. Since 1982, our founder Doug Callaway has built Mr. Sweeps chimney and dryer vent cleaning service with one clear promise: no mass guarantee, just honest, reliable, family-style service.

Let’s break down why chimney and dryer vent maintenance matters more than most people realize—and why it should be at the top of your to-do list.

Chimney Sweeping: Don’t Let Creosote Linger

Every time you light a fire in your fireplace, it leaves behind a residue called creosote. It’s sticky, it builds up fast, and worst of all—it’s highly flammable. One stray spark is all it takes to ignite a chimney fire that can quickly spread throughout your home.

At Mr. Sweeps chimney and dryer vent cleaning service, our chimney sweeping services are built to do more than just “brush and go.” We clear creosote, ash, animal nests, and any other debris that’s crept into your flue. Homeowners in Weatherford, Brock, and Mansfield count on us to not just clean, but to care—protecting their families and investments.

Regular sweeping also improves the airflow and efficiency of your fireplace. That means a warmer home, less smoke indoors, and better peace of mind every time you light that fire.

Chimney Inspections: Find the Hidden Dangers Before They Find You

Think your chimney is safe because it “looks okay”? That’s one of the most dangerous assumptions a homeowner can make. Cracks in the liner, blocked flues, and even unseen water damage can all hide in plain sight—and cause real trouble.

We perform both standard (Level 1) and more in-depth (Level 2) chimney inspections depending on your setup and history. Using video scanning tools and decades of experience, we check every inch for signs of wear, damage, or danger.

From Grapevine to Bridgeport, we’ve helped homeowners avoid everything from chimney leaks to fire hazards with our thorough, no-rush inspections. This isn’t a quick in-and-out service—it’s a detailed, experienced evaluation designed to keep your home safe for the long haul.

Dryer Vent Cleaning: Small Hose, Big Risk

Let’s talk dryer vents. You might clean the lint trap every time you do a load, but what about the vent hose behind your dryer—and the entire duct system leading outside your home?

Over time, lint, debris, and even bird nests can clog this vent. That blockage traps hot air, overheats your dryer, and drastically increases your risk of fire. In fact, clogged dryer vents are responsible for thousands of house fires every single year.

Homeowners in Arlington, Crowley, and Aledo call us for this service because they know it’s not worth the risk. Our professional dryer vent cleaning clears the full line from back to front, keeping your appliance running efficiently—and your home protected. If your clothes are taking longer to dry or your laundry room is getting too warm, it’s time to give us a call.

Chimney Cap Installation: The Most Overlooked Form of Chimney Protection

A chimney without a cap is like a car without a windshield—open, exposed, and vulnerable. Rain, snow, animals, and debris can all make their way into your flue, causing blockages, damage, and even interior leaks.

Our team installs chimney caps that are fitted for your system and built to last. Whether you're in Decatur, Keller, or Burleson, we can install a quality cap that keeps everything out but the smoke. It’s one of the simplest—and smartest—investments you can make in your home’s safety.

Plus, a chimney cap can improve draft efficiency and prevent downdrafts, which means a cleaner, safer, better-performing fireplace.
