Chimney Sweep & Repair

Sweeppy's CSIA-certified technicians serve Helotes and the 78023 zip code with same-day chimney sweep, inspection, and repair services.

Local Note for Helotes Homeowners

Helotes' proximity to cedar and oak forests means chimneys in the area often accumulate more creosote than those in urban San Antonio neighborhoods. If you burn cedar wood — common in the Hill Country — your chimney requires more frequent cleaning due to cedar's higher creosote-producing properties.
