Chimney sweep logs do not sweep chimneys. They loosen some creosote - which then falls where a brush and vacuum still have to collect it.
Chimney Company in Bastrop, TX
Chimney repair in Bastrop usually means one of two things after a hard Central Texas freeze: cracked flue tiles from a sudden burn cycle, or water getting past a chase cover on a factory-built metal chimney. Homes here range from 1960s ranch houses off Highway 21 to newer construction in Riverside Grove and Pecan Park, and the repair needs are just as mixed. Oakgrove Chimney Sweep handles all of it, from stainless liner replacement to flashing and crown work, using the same professional-grade materials we’d put in our own flue. Call (866) 472-2513 when you need a straight answer about what’s actually wrong.
Why Bastrop Homes Are Different
Bastrop sits in the Lost Pines, and that pine pollen is a real variable. Every spring it coats chimney caps and screens, and if those caps are already compromised, you get moisture sitting on top of the flue all summer. The February 2021 freeze taught a lot of homeowners here something hard: fireplaces went from decorative to life-support in a single night, and a lot of them weren’t ready for it. People burned unseasoned pine and cedar, sometimes for days straight, and that produces heavy creosote fast. Since then, we’ve seen the same cycle repeat with every winter power outage. Homes on acreage outside city limits in ZIP 78602 tend to have freestanding wood stoves or manufactured fireplaces with metal chimney systems, not traditional masonry stacks. That changes the repair profile: more stainless liners, more chase covers, more flashing problems, and fewer brick-and-mortar flues. The idle season matters too, because a chimney that sits unused from April through November gives soot time to cure and pests time to nest. By the time fall returns, a lot of what we’re doing is diagnostics, not just sweeping.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Bastrop Services
Two services account for most of the calls we take from Bastrop homeowners: chimney sweeping and dryer vent cleaning. Both are fire-safety work at heart, and both are covered in detail on their own pages.
Chimney Sweep in Bastrop
A proper sweep in Bastrop has to account for what’s actually being burned: a lot of locally cut pine and cedar, which produces more creosote than seasoned oak or mesquite. We remove the deposits, inspect the flue with a camera, and give you an honest read on what’s next. If the flue is clean and sound, that’s the report. If it needs repair, we can do that too. Read more on our dedicated Chimney Sweep in Bastrop page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Bastrop
Dryer vents are the fire risk most Bastrop households never think about. Lint accumulates in the duct, the dryer works harder, and eventually the heat has nowhere to go. Rural homes in 78602 often have longer vent runs through crawl spaces or exterior walls, which makes the buildup worse. We’re chimney-trained, so we treat the dryer exhaust as the combustion pathway it is. Details on our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Bastrop page.

Chimney Repair in Bastrop
Chimney repair in Bastrop tends to split into two buckets: freeze damage and slow water intrusion. The 2021 storm and the hard freezes since have caused flue tiles to crack when homeowners fired up cold chimneys that hadn’t been cleaned in years, and the Lost Pines’ spring pollen and summer thunderstorms work on chase covers and flashing the rest of the year. When you see water stains on the ceiling near the fireplace or hear dripping inside the flue, the problem is usually already underway. Oakgrove Chimney Sweep diagnoses and repairs the full scope: we don’t hand you a report and send you off to find a mason. That’s what our Chimney Repair service is built for.
Chimney Cap Installation
Signs you need it
You see rust flakes around the top of the chase, or birds and squirrels have found their way into the flue.
What it costs in Bastrop
Chimney cap installation in Bastrop typically runs $200 to $450 depending on the chase size and the material.
How we do it
We pull the old cap, measure the chase opening, and set a new stainless cap from Gelco or Olympia Chimney with a proper mechanical seal.
Chimney Liner Installation
Signs you need it
Your chimney sweep’s camera shows cracked or missing flue tiles, or a home inspector flagged clearance problems on an older wood stove setup.
What it costs in Bastrop
A full liner installation here usually lands between $2,500 and $5,000, depending on the run and whether we’re adding a new tee and cap.
How we do it
We size the liner to the appliance, feed a DuraFlex stainless flex liner down the flue, and secure it with the right pour-down insulation for the chimney’s clearances.
Chimney Crown Repair
Signs you need it
The concrete crown on top of a masonry chimney is cracked or spalling, letting water soak into the brick below.
What it costs in Bastrop
Expect $600 to $1,200 for a crown repair or recast on a single-flue masonry chimney.
How we do it
We clean the old crown surface, apply a concrete resurfacer sized for the chimney’s footprint, and slope it so water runs off instead of pooling.

How long does chimney repair take in Bastrop?
Most cap and crown repairs are done in a single visit. A full liner replacement can take half a day to a full day depending on the flue run. We’ll give you a timeline when we quote, not after we’ve started.
Can you repair a chimney after a freeze?
Yes. Freeze damage from cycling cold snaps in Bastrop shows up as cracked tiles or spalling brick. We inspect the flue with a camera, then quote what’s actually needed. Call (866) 472-2513 for a free estimate before your next burn season.

We stock and install DuraFlex liners, Gelco caps, Olympia Chimney components, and HeatShield resurfacing products.

What Bastrop Customers Say
"Drop cloths everywhere, HEPA vac, and not a speck of soot on the carpet. I'd been dreading the mess for nothing."

— Hector Garcia"Swept it, capped it, and installed a proper damper. The downdraft smell in the summer that we'd lived with for years is gone."
— Alma Salazar
