Recommended annually or after burning two cords of wood to maintain optimal safety and performance.
Comprehensive chimney inspections to identify potential issues before they become problems.
Pure Draft Chimney Care offers three levels of NFPA-compliant chimney inspections. Level 1 inspections examine readily accessible portions of the chimney for general soundness. Level 2 inspections include video scanning of the flue interior and are required for property transfers, fuel changes, or after operational malfunctions. Level 3 inspections involve removing components to access concealed areas when serious hazards are suspected. Our certified inspectors check for structural damage, deterioration, creosote accumulation, proper clearances, adequate draft, water penetration, and code compliance. We provide detailed reports with photos and recommendations for any necessary repairs or maintenance to keep your family safe.
Expert repair services for damaged chimneys, crowns, flashing, and more.
Our skilled technicians handle all types of chimney repairs including crown rebuilding, tuckpointing deteriorated mortar joints, flashing replacement to prevent leaks, damper repair or replacement, smoke chamber parging, and masonry restoration. We repair cracked chimney liners, damaged fireboxes, and failing chimney caps. Water damage is a common chimney problem - we identify and repair sources of water intrusion to prevent further deterioration. We use high-quality materials and time-tested techniques to restore your chimney's structural integrity and functionality. All repairs are completed to code with warranties for your peace of mind. Don't let small problems become expensive emergencies - contact us at the first sign of damage.
Install quality chimney caps to protect against water, animals, and debris.
A properly installed chimney cap is your chimney's first line of defense against the elements. We install custom-fitted stainless steel and copper chimney caps that prevent rain and snow from entering your chimney, keep animals and birds from nesting inside, stop downdrafts that push smoke back into your home, and prevent debris like leaves and branches from clogging your flue. Our caps feature spark arrestor screens to catch dangerous embers and sparks. We offer various styles to complement your home's architecture while providing maximum protection. Chimney caps significantly reduce water damage - the leading cause of chimney deterioration. Professional installation ensures proper fit and secure mounting to withstand high winds and harsh weather.
Specialized removal of dangerous creosote buildup to prevent chimney fires.
Creosote is a highly flammable byproduct of wood combustion that accumulates on chimney walls over time. This tar-like substance comes in three stages - from flaky deposits to hardened glaze - with each stage increasingly dangerous and difficult to remove. Our technicians are trained in specialized creosote removal techniques for all three stages. We use rotary cleaning systems, chemical treatments, and manual tools to safely eliminate even the most stubborn creosote deposits. Regular creosote removal is critical for fire prevention - third-stage glazed creosote can ignite at temperatures as low as 451°F. We educate homeowners on proper burning practices to minimize creosote formation, including burning seasoned hardwood, maintaining hot fires, and ensuring adequate airflow.
Complete fireplace maintenance, cleaning, and repair for all fireplace types.
Pure Draft Chimney Care services all types of fireplaces including wood-burning masonry fireplaces, prefabricated factory-built fireplaces, gas log sets, gas inserts, wood stoves, and pellet stoves. We clean and inspect fireboxes, replace refractory panels, repair or replace dampers, install glass doors, and convert wood-burning to gas. Our technicians are experienced with both traditional and modern fireplace systems. We check gas connections for leaks, clean and adjust burners, inspect pilot assemblies and thermocouples, and verify proper venting for gas units. For wood-burning units, we examine firebrick, inspect ash dumps, and ensure proper clearances to combustibles. Regular fireplace service ensures safe, efficient operation and prevents carbon monoxide hazards.
24/7 emergency response for chimney fires, leaks, and urgent issues.
Chimney emergencies require immediate professional attention. Our 24/7 emergency service team responds quickly to chimney fires, severe water leaks, structural collapse, carbon monoxide concerns, smoke backing up into the home, and other urgent situations. We arrive equipped to assess the situation, mitigate immediate dangers, and implement emergency repairs. If you experience a chimney fire, evacuate immediately, call 911, then call us for post-fire inspection and repairs. Even small chimney fires can cause hidden damage that compromises safety. We also provide emergency animal removal when creatures become trapped in chimneys. Our emergency technicians have the training and equipment to handle any chimney crisis safely and effectively. Don't hesitate to call (817) 328-3547 anytime day or night.
Install new chimney liners for improved safety and efficiency.
A properly functioning chimney liner is essential for safe chimney operation. Liners contain combustion byproducts, protect masonry from corrosive gases, and ensure proper draft. We install stainless steel liners that are durable, code-compliant, and suitable for all fuel types. Cast-in-place liners are ideal for severely damaged or oddly shaped flues - we pump insulating cement mixture that forms a seamless, insulated liner. Clay tile relining restores traditional masonry chimneys. New liners improve draft, reduce creosote formation, and bring older chimneys up to current safety standards. Relining is often required when converting from wood to gas, after chimney fires, or when existing liners are cracked or deteriorated. Our experienced installers ensure proper sizing and installation for optimal performance.

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends annual chimney inspections and cleaning. However, if you burn wood frequently, you may need more frequent cleanings. Generally, chimneys should be swept after burning about two cords of wood or whenever creosote buildup reaches 1/8 inch thick. Gas fireplaces also require annual inspections to ensure proper venting and operation.
Creosote is a highly flammable tar-like substance that forms when wood smoke condenses on the cooler inner surfaces of your chimney. It accumulates in three progressively dangerous stages: flaky deposits, tar-like coating, and hardened glaze. Creosote is the leading cause of chimney fires. When ignited, it burns extremely hot and can cause severe chimney damage and house fires. Regular professional chimney sweeping removes creosote and prevents dangerous buildup.
A standard chimney sweep typically takes 45 minutes to 1.5 hours, depending on the size of your chimney, the amount of buildup, and the type of system. If an inspection is included, the process may take slightly longer. We take our time to ensure thorough cleaning and protect your home with drop cloths. More complex services like repairs or installations will require additional time, which we'll discuss during your estimate.
Yes! While gas fireplaces don't produce creosote, they still require annual professional service. Gas fireplaces can develop issues with burners, pilot assemblies, thermocouples, and gas connections. The venting system needs inspection for blockages, corrosion, and proper draft. We clean glass panels, check for gas leaks, verify proper combustion, and ensure all safety systems are functioning correctly. Regular maintenance prevents carbon monoxide hazards and ensures efficient operation.
Contact us immediately if you notice: smoke backing up into your home, strong odors when the fireplace isn't in use, visible cracks in the chimney structure, pieces of chimney tile in the firebox, white staining (efflorescence) on the exterior, rusted damper or firebox, animals or nests in the chimney, water leaks or stains, or difficulty starting or maintaining fires. These warning signs indicate potential safety hazards that require professional evaluation and repair.
Not when performed by professionals! At Pure Draft Chimney Care, we take extensive measures to protect your home. We use heavy-duty drop cloths, professional-grade HEPA vacuums, and containment systems to control dust and debris. Our technicians are trained in clean work practices and we thoroughly clean up after every job. You can expect your home to be just as clean (or cleaner!) when we finish as when we arrived.
Absolutely! A chimney cap is one of the most important and cost-effective chimney accessories. It prevents rain and snow from entering your chimney (water is the #1 cause of chimney deterioration), keeps animals and birds from nesting inside, stops downdrafts, prevents debris from clogging your flue, and catches sparks and embers. The relatively small investment in a quality chimney cap can save thousands in water damage and pest removal costs.
The NFPA defines three levels of chimney inspections. Level 1 is a basic visual inspection of accessible areas, suitable for systems in regular use with no changes. Level 2 includes video scanning of the flue interior and is required for property sales, fuel changes, or after operational malfunctions. Level 3 is the most comprehensive, involving removal of components to access hidden areas when serious hazards are suspected. We'll recommend the appropriate inspection level based on your specific circumstances.
Yes, we safely and humanely remove animals that have entered or nested in chimneys. Common chimney intruders include birds, squirrels, raccoons, and bats. We can also remove nests and install chimney caps with animal guards to prevent future intrusions. If animals are present, it's important to address the situation quickly - nesting materials are highly flammable and animal waste can transmit diseases. We follow all regulations regarding protected species like chimney swifts.
Yes! All Pure Draft Chimney Care technicians are professionally trained and certified in chimney inspection, cleaning, and repair. We maintain ongoing education to stay current with industry best practices, safety standards, and building codes. Our team is fully insured and licensed to protect you and your property. We take pride in our professionalism and expertise, which is why Watauga homeowners trust us with their chimney care needs.

Our commitment to excellence in chimney maintenance, repair, and safety has made us the preferred choice for homeowners throughout the DFW Metroplex who demand professional, reliable chimney services.
Located in the heart of Tarrant County at 5710 Watauga Rd Ste 100, Watauga, TX 76148, we understand the unique challenges that Texas weather and climate conditions present to chimney systems. From intense summer heat to occasional winter freezes, your chimney requires specialized care to maintain optimal performance and safety year-round. Our team of certified chimney professionals provides comprehensive services including thorough chimney sweeping, detailed inspections, expert repairs, and professional installations.
Chimney maintenance is not just about convenience – it's about protecting your home and family from serious hazards. According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), failure to clean chimneys is a leading factor in home heating fires. Creosote buildup, a highly flammable tar-like substance that accumulates from wood smoke, can ignite and cause destructive chimney fires that threaten your entire home. Regular professional chimney sweeping removes this dangerous buildup and significantly reduces fire risk.
Our chimney sweep services go beyond basic cleaning. We utilize state-of-the-art equipment and time-tested techniques to remove all soot, ash, creosote, and debris from your chimney system. Our technicians are trained to identify potential problems during the cleaning process, from deteriorating mortar joints to damaged chimney liners, allowing us to address issues before they escalate into costly emergencies. Every chimney sweep includes a thorough inspection to ensure your system is operating safely and efficiently.
Pure Draft Chimney Care offers multiple levels of professional chimney inspections following NFPA guidelines. Whether you need a standard Level 1 inspection for routine maintenance, a Level 2 inspection with video scanning for property transfers or system changes, or a comprehensive Level 3 inspection when serious hazards are suspected, our certified inspectors provide detailed evaluations with photo documentation and clear recommendations. Understanding the condition of your chimney system is essential for making informed decisions about necessary maintenance and repairs.
Water damage is the leading cause of chimney deterioration, and the Texas climate can accelerate this process. Rain, humidity, and temperature fluctuations cause masonry to crack and deteriorate over time. Our expert repair services address all types of chimney damage including crown rebuilding, tuckpointing, flashing replacement, and structural restoration. We use premium materials and proven techniques to ensure lasting results that protect your investment. A properly maintained chimney can serve your home for decades with the right professional care.
Gas fireplaces and heating systems also require regular professional attention. While they don't produce creosote, gas appliances can develop dangerous problems with burners, venting systems, and gas connections. Carbon monoxide leaks from improperly maintained gas systems pose serious health risks. Our technicians are trained in gas fireplace service and inspection, ensuring your system operates safely and efficiently. We check for gas leaks, verify proper combustion, clean components, and inspect venting to protect your family from carbon monoxide hazards.
Installing a quality chimney cap is one of the smartest investments you can make in chimney protection. These simple devices prevent rain from entering your chimney (the primary cause of water damage), keep animals and birds from nesting inside, stop downdrafts that push smoke into your home, and catch dangerous sparks and embers. We install custom-fitted stainless steel and copper chimney caps that provide maximum protection while complementing your home's appearance. The cost of a chimney cap is minimal compared to the thousands of dollars in water damage and pest removal it prevents.
Emergency chimney situations require immediate professional response.
