Selma's newer homes often have prefab or gas fireplaces that owners assume are maintenance-free. Sweeppy cleans and inspects them. From $144. Call (210) 418-9810.
Selma has grown quickly on San Antonio's northeast side, and most of the homes around The Forum are newer builds with prefab or gas fireplaces rather than old masonry. Those units still need attention. A factory-built firebox and flue collect soot, and a gas log set can hide a blocked cap or a slipped connection. Our Selma chimney sweep clears the buildup and inspects the whole system, so the first cool Hill Country evening you light a fire, it draws clean and burns safe.
Local Note for Selma Homeowners
Selma's newer, tightly sealed homes make a clear-drawing flue especially important — combustion byproducts and carbon monoxide have fewer places to escape when the house is well-sealed. Most prefab and gas fireplaces here have never been inspected.

Yes. Factory-built and gas fireplaces still collect soot and can develop blocked caps or loose connections, and most manufacturers require periodic inspection to keep the unit rated as safe. We clean what's there and check the cap, liner, and venting so it operates the way it was designed to.
For most Selma households, once a year before you start using the fireplace is the right cadence, even with light use. Newer homes are sealed tightly, so an annual inspection helps confirm the flue draws properly and nothing is venting back into the house.
