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 Dripping Springs, TX
Chimney repair in Dripping Springs usually means rebuilding or resealing masonry that Hill Country weather has been working on for years, not just clearing out last winter’s ashes. We’re Oakgrove Chimney Sweep, and we’ve served Dripping Springs since 2017. Most of the homes we work on sit on acreage west of Austin with wood-burning fireplaces that get real use, so when a crown cracks or a cap blows off in a windstorm, it’s a venting problem that needs a proper fix, not a patch job. Call us at (866) 472-2513 when something looks wrong up there.
Why Dripping Springs Homes Are Different
Dripping Springs is a Hill Country exurb where a large share of homes are custom or semi-custom builds on acreage lots, and many were built with wood-burning fireplaces or freestanding wood stoves as a genuine heating backup rather than decoration. That changes the work. We’re not doing cosmetic sweep-and-go jobs on gas inserts that never get lit. We’re clearing heavy creosote out of flues that burn oak and juniper all winter, and we’re repairing masonry that sits exposed to Hill Country wind, hail, and hard freezes.
The housing stock runs from 1990s production homes with limestone or brick veneer and tall great-room fireplaces to older ranch homes and manufactured homes on acreage. Many chimneys are exterior stacks, which means they take full weather exposure. The hot, dry summers let soot and creosote harden into a glaze that’s harder to remove than fresh buildup, and the long off-season gives birds, squirrels, and wasps plenty of time to move into uncapped flues. When we show up for a cleaning, we expect to find something. That’s normal here.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Dripping Springs Services
Two services account for most of the calls we get from Dripping Springs homeowners, and both come down to the same thing: a combustion system that needs to vent properly.
Chimney Sweep in Dripping Springs
A sweep here isn’t a ten-minute vacuum job. Hill Country oak and juniper produce heavy creosote, and fireplaces that sit unused from spring through fall collect dust, pollen, and sometimes a nest. We remove the buildup, inspect the flue with a camera, and tell you plainly what’s safe to keep using and what needs repair. Learn more on our Chimney Sweep in Dripping Springs page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Dripping Springs
Dripping Springs homes tend to have longer dryer vent runs because laundry rooms are often on exterior walls far from the dryer’s exhaust point, and homes on acreage deal with more lint plus dust and occasional rodent activity in the vent. We clean dryer vents as a fire-safety service, using the same combustion-pathway thinking we apply to chimneys. Details are on our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Dripping Springs page.

Chimney Repair in Dripping Springs
Chimney repair in Dripping Springs is driven by exposure. Most chimneys here are exterior stacks on limestone or brick homes, and Hill Country weather works them over year after year. Wind and hail crack crowns and dislodge caps, hard freezes open up mortar joints, and the long hot summers bake everything until small cracks become leaks. When we find damage during a sweep, we can usually fix it in the same service relationship rather than handing you off to a third party. That’s the point of our full-service approach: sweep, inspect, repair, one company. If you want to understand the full scope of what we handle, read our Chimney Repair overview.
Chimney Cap Installation
Signs you need it
You hear birds or squirrels inside the flue, you see leaves or acorn debris piling up in the firebox, or rain is getting down the chimney during storms.
What it costs in Dripping Springs
Chimney cap installation in Dripping Springs typically runs $200 to $500 with the cap, depending on flue size and roof access.
How we do it
We measure the flue, match the cap to your chimney type, and secure it so Hill Country wind can’t loosen it.
Chimney Cap Replacement
Signs you need it
The existing cap is rusted through, bent from wind or hail, or missing entirely after a storm.
What it costs in Dripping Springs
Replacing a damaged cap in Dripping Springs usually falls between $250 and $600, with the higher end covering custom sizes or chase covers.
How we do it
We pull the old cap, inspect the flue opening for animal damage, and install a new one sized and secured for the job.
Chimney Crown Repair
Signs you need it
The concrete crown on top of the chimney is cracked, spalling, or letting water run down into the masonry.
What it costs in Dripping Springs
Crown repair in Dripping Springs typically costs $350 to $900, depending on whether we’re sealing small cracks or rebuilding the crown surface.
How we do it
We clean and prep the crown, fill cracks with the right masonry material, and seal the surface so water sheds away from the flue.
Chimney Flashing Repair
Signs you need it
You see water staining on the ceiling near the chimney or damp spots on the brick inside the attic after rain.
What it costs in Dripping Springs
Flashing repair in Dripping Springs runs $300 to $700, with the range depending on whether we’re resealing a small gap or replacing flashing at the roofline.
How we do it
We inspect the flashing where the chimney meets the roof, remove failing sealant, and install new flashing or sealant that holds against Hill Country weather.

Do I need a new chimney liner, or can the old one be repaired?
Not every damaged liner needs full replacement. We assess with a camera and tell you if a repair like HeatShield resurfacing will restore it or if a DuraFlex liner replacement is the right call. Call (866) 472-2513 for an inspection.
Can you fix chimney damage the same day you find it?
We often complete cap replacement and smaller crown or flashing repairs the same day, provided we have the right parts on the truck and the weather allows safe roof access. Larger liner work gets scheduled and quoted before we start.
Brands We Service in Dripping Springs
We stock and install parts from professional trade suppliers like Famco, Copperfield, and DuraFlex, plus we’re certified to apply HeatShield chimney liner resurfacing. That means when we find damage during a Dripping Springs sweep, we’re usually carrying what the repair needs rather than ordering from a hardware store and scheduling a second visit. See our brands for the full list.

What Dripping Springs Customers Say
"Creosote buildup was worse than I realized. He measured it, showed me the glazing on the flue with the camera, and was honest that we were closer to a chimney fire than I wanted to hear."
— 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"Crown was cracked and taking water. Repaired it rather than quoting a rebuild, which the previous company had pushed hard for."
— Neil Novak
