The three most effective steps: (1) Annual professional chimney cleaning to remove creosote, (2) Burn only seasoned hardwood — oak, pecan, or mesquite are ideal for San Antonio, (3) Install a quality stainless steel chimney cap with spark arrestor. Never burn cardboard, treated wood, or trash.

Dryer Vent Cleaning

Alamo Heights is one of San Antonio's most prestigious neighborhoods, with many historic and custom-built homes featuring unique laundry configurations. Older Alamo Heights homes often have dryer vents routed through interior walls or long horizontal runs — setups that trap lint quickly and are difficult to clean without professional equipment. Sweeppy's NADCA-certified technicians serve Alamo Heights with thorough dryer vent cleaning, inspection, and repair.

Local Note for Alamo Heights Homeowners

Many Alamo Heights homes were built before modern dryer vent codes existed, resulting in vent runs that are longer, more convoluted, or made of materials no longer considered safe. Our inspection includes a full assessment of your vent system's condition.
