Sweeping Helotes Chimneys: Steep Roofs And Tall Stacks

What comes out of a Helotes flue depends on the house. Most of our sweeping here is in 1990s and 2000s two-story homes on the hillsides off Bandera Road, and the usual pattern is cedar and mesquite burned in homes surrounded by brush country. That use pattern leaves a different deposit than a chimney that runs hot every night, and we adjust brush heads and technique to it. We work across Old Town Helotes, Sonoma Ranch, Iron Horse Canyon and Bandera Road.

Short burn seasons are actually harder on a chimney. Fires in Helotes homes are often lit for one cold week at a time, which means cool flues, slow-burning wood and heavier creosote glaze than a chimney that runs hot all winter.

We also find a lot of nesting debris and blown-in leaf litter in Bexar County chimneys during sweeping. Anything blocking the flue pushes smoke and carbon monoxide back into the room, so clearing the passage is as important as removing soot.

Scheduling in Helotes is straightforward: we cover Old Town Helotes, Sonoma Ranch, Iron Horse Canyon and Bandera Road on regular routes, and a standard sweep with a condition report is normally a single visit.
