The most common call we get from Murphy is about a rust stain on the chimney chase. Most of Murphy was built between 1998 and 2012. The big two-story brick homes in Maxwell Creek and North Hill almost always have a factory-built fireplace inside a wood-framed chase. That chase is topped with a flat metal cover and a metal cap. After 15 to 25 North Texas summers, hail seasons and freeze-thaw winters, the cover rusts, holds water and starts to leak. The first sign is an orange streak running down the brick. The next sign is a water stain on the ceiling near the fireplace.
Then there is the first cold front in November. Everyone in Murphy lights a fire the same weekend, smells smoke in the living room, and calls at once. A chimney sweep and inspection in September or October beats that rush. Our technician finds cracked refractory panels, loose damper clips, soot and creosote buildup in the flue on almost every prefab fireplace that has gone a few years without service. Creosote is what feeds chimney fires, so we take it seriously.
Rotary and brush chimney sweeping services in Murphy for prefab and masonry fireplaces. We remove creosote, soot and nesting debris from the flue, then show you photos before and after the cleaning.

Refractory panel replacement, chase cover replacement, crown repair, flashing repair and masonry work. We quote before work starts and photograph every chimney repair in Murphy we complete.
New stainless steel chimney caps and chase covers keep out rain, hail and chimney swifts. We also repair or replace stuck dampers so your Murphy fireplace seals tight all summer.
Our Process
Here is how chimney cleaning in Murphy goes with our team. Our technician arrives in the time window we gave you, lays drop cloths around the hearth and seals the firebox opening. We sweep the flue from the bottom up with rods, brushes and a HEPA vacuum, so no soot gets into your living room. Next we scan the flue with a camera and check the cap, chase cover, damper, refractory panels and firebox. Gas fireplace owners get a burner and pilot check as part of the same fireplace maintenance visit. You get photos of what we found and a clear list of what needs attention now and what can wait. Most sweeps take about an hour. Read more on our chimney cleaning service page.

Murphy’s housing stock tells us what we will find before we open the truck door. The two-story brick homes in Maxwell Creek, North Hill, Timbers and Aviary went up between 1998 and 2012. Nearly all of them have a factory-built fireplace, a metal flue pipe inside a framed chase, and a galvanized chase cover on top. Those covers were never meant to last the life of the house. Once they rust through, water drips onto the firebox and the flue pipe. We replace them with stainless steel covers and caps that will not rust. Inside the firebox, the refractory panels crack from years of heating and cooling. A cracked panel lets heat reach the framing behind it, a real fire hazard, so we replace panels as part of our fireplace repair work. Many of these homes also have gas logs, and gas fireplace repair for a weak pilot or a sooty burner is a common add-on. The older ranch homes near the original town center are a different job. Those have real masonry chimneys with clay tile liners, and after 40 years the tiles crack and the mortar joints open up. A Level 2 chimney inspection with a camera tells you if the liner still seals. If it does not, a stainless steel chimney liner fixes it for good.
Water is the other big enemy of a Murphy chimney. Spring hail dents chase covers and knocks caps loose. Freeze-thaw cycles in January open cracks in mortar crowns. Wind-driven rain gets under the flashing where the chimney meets the roof, and the first sign is a brown ring on the ceiling. Our chimney flashing and leak repair service tracks the leak to its source instead of guessing. In spring, chimney swifts look for open flues to nest in, and a missing cap is an open invitation. A blocked flue also pushes smoke and carbon monoxide back into the house, so a new cap does more than keep birds out. We are glad to be part of the Murphy community. The City of Murphy keeps a good list of local resources, the Murphy Chamber of Commerce connects local businesses, and families on the east side of town send their kids to Wylie ISD schools while the west side is in Murphy ISD. If your neighbor by Murphy Central Park needs a sweep too, we can book both homes the same morning.
Right now our chimney sweep and inspection is $99 for Murphy homes as a limited-time offer. That covers the sweeping, a camera look at the flue and photos of what we find. If the inspection turns up a repair, like a rusted chase cover or a cracked refractory panel, we quote it before any work starts. There are no surprise charges on the invoice.
At least once a year is the standard for any fireplace that gets used, wood or gas. Most Murphy families burn a few dozen fires between November and February. That is enough to build creosote in a prefab flue, and the metal parts should be inspected every year anyway. Book routine cleaning in early fall so you are ready before the first cold front, when our Murphy schedule fills up fast.
Every chimney sweep Murphy TX visit includes drop cloths, a full sweep of the flue with rods and a HEPA vacuum, a camera scan of the flue, and a check of the cap, chase cover, damper, firebox and refractory panels. You get photos and a written list of findings. The whole visit usually takes about an hour, and our technician leaves the room as clean as he found it.
That orange streak almost always comes from a rusted galvanized chase cover on a factory-built fireplace. Most Murphy homes built from 1998 to 2012 have one. Rain pools on the flat cover, the metal rusts through, and the runoff stains the brick. Left alone, the water reaches the firebox and the framing. We replace the cover with stainless steel so it does not happen again.
Yes. Many Murphy two-story homes have long dryer vent runs that go up through the wall and out the roof. Lint packs into those runs and is a real fire hazard. We can add dryer vent cleaning to the same visit as your chimney sweep, which saves you a second appointment. Just mention it when you book.
