Level 1 sweep and inspection to the NFPA 211 annual standard - flue, crown, cap, and flashing checked and photographed
Chimney sweep logs do not sweep chimneys. They loosen some creosote - which then falls where a brush and vacuum still have to collect it.

AfterChimney Company in Addison, TX
Chimney cleaning in Addison, TX typically runs between $189 and $319 for a standard sweep, depending on the flue’s condition and how long it’s been since the last cleaning. Most Addison homes fall into that range because the majority were built between the late 1970s and mid-1990s, and their chimneys have seen decades of North Texas weather swings. If you’re calling around for a chimney company, the number you want before you book is a written price, not a guess. That’s how we work at Flint Chimney Sweep: you’ll know the exact figure before any tool comes off the truck. Call (830) 251-4560 and a real person answers, any hour.
Why Addison Homes Are Different
Addison sits on dense clay soil that shifts with every wet-dry cycle North Texas throws at it. That movement shows up as hairline cracks in masonry chimneys and small separations where the chimney meets the roofline. We see it more often in the older neighborhoods west of the Dallas North Tollway, like the homes along Belt Line Road and the streets around Addison Circle, where original brickwork has been through forty-plus summers. A chimney that shifts just an eighth of an inch can open a gap in the flue liner, and that gap is where heat and carbon monoxide escape into the wall cavity instead of up and out. On the newer construction near Vitruvian Park, the issue tends to be the opposite: prefabricated metal chimneys that were installed tight and right, but whose galvanized caps and chase covers start pitting after a few years of Addison’s hail and hard rain. Those need a different inspection approach than a masonry stack. Then there’s the simple fact that Addison trees, particularly the mature pecans and oaks in the neighborhoods south of Keller Springs Road, drop a lot of organic debris. Squirrels and birds add to it. A chimney cap that’s missing or warped lets that material pile up fast. None of this needs a dramatic explanation. It means Addison chimneys get dirty faster than averages, and the smart schedule is an annual look before the first fire of fall.
Our Main Addison Services
Most Addison homeowners call us first for two reasons: they smell something odd around the fireplace, or they’re buying a home and the inspector flagged the chimney. Both start with either a sweep or an inspection, and both have their own dedicated Addison pages for the details.
Chimney Sweep in Addison
A chimney sweep in Addison is not a brush run-through. It’s the removal of creosote, which is the black, tar-like residue wood smoke leaves behind. In Addison, creosote builds faster in chimneys with poor draft, and poor draft is common in the older homes along Arapaho Road where flues are clay tile and undersized for modern fireplace inserts. We brush the flue, vacuum the smoke chamber and firebox, and bag everything so no soot touches your floors. You get a report with photos when we’re done, and the crew leaves the hearth cleaner than they found it. The full details, including pricing, are on Chimney Sweep in Addison.
Chimney Inspection in Addison
An inspection in Addison means we run a camera down the flue, not just a flashlight and a knock on the brick. That matters here because the clay soil movement we mentioned earlier causes hairline cracks that a visual check can miss. The camera sees them. We inspect the liner, the crown, the cap, the damper, and the point where the chimney meets the roofline. If you’re buying a house in Addison, the standard home inspection rarely goes further than a visual look. A camera inspection gives you the real condition before you sign. If nothing’s wrong, we tell you that and you have the report in writing. You can read the inspection levels and what’s included at Chimney Inspection in Addison.
Chimney Repair in Addison
When we find damage during a sweep or inspection, the repair is quoted in writing before we do any work. In Addison, the most common repairs we handle are flue relining, which means replacing the inner liner that channels smoke safely out of the house, and crown rebuilding, where we re-form the concrete cap atop the chimney that’s cracked from years of Texas sun and rain. We also do chase cover replacement on the prefabricated metal chimneys common around Vitruvian Park. Every repair carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing: if a covered repair fails within one full year, we return at no charge. See what’s covered at Chimney Repair in Addison.

What Makes Flint Chimney Sweep Different
Flint Chimney Sweep has been operating since 2002 as part of the Garrison Partners family of independently owned chimney service companies. Every location runs under The Garrison Standard, which is a set of written operating rules we follow on every job: background-checked, uniformed technicians, a written price before any work begins, and a live person answering the phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week. No voicemail trees. No callback forms. You call, a person picks up. Hank Delano leads the crews you’ll meet at the door, and every repair we make carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. That’s not a slogan. It’s a one-year guarantee with a free return visit if a covered repair fails. We put it in writing because the number on the invoice is the number you approved, and the work either holds up or we make it right.

Two things push a chimney job higher in Addison. First, access: a steep roof pitch or a chimney surrounded by mature trees makes setup slower, and that labor shows up in the quote. Second, deferred maintenance: a flue that hasn’t been cleaned in ten years takes longer to clear safely. Whatever your number is, you’ll see it in writing before we start. The invoice matches the quote, every time.
