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 Spokane, WA
Chimney work in Spokane runs into conditions you won’t find in Seattle or Portland. Hard winters, older housing stock, and a real wood-burning culture mean chimneys here work harder and get dirtier faster. We’re Flint Chimney Sweep, part of the Garrison Partners family founded in 2002, and we handle sweeping, inspection, and repair across Spokane with written pricing before any work begins. Call (830) 251-4560 for a free estimate.
Why Spokane Homes Are Different
Spokane’s heating season is long. Homes in neighborhoods like South Perry, Emerson-Garfield, and Hillyard burn wood from October through April, sometimes longer in the colder pockets near Mount Spokane. That’s six to seven months of creosote building up inside the flue, which is creosote forming from smoke cooling too quickly in the chimney. Many of these houses were built between 1900 and 1960, and their chimneys were laid with clay tile liners that crack under repeated freeze-thaw cycles. We see it regularly: a liner that passed inspection five years ago shows hairline cracks after two hard Spokane winters. Homes in newer developments on the north side, like Indian Trail and Five Mile, tend to have factory-built fireplaces with their own maintenance needs, but the same ice and snow still put pressure on caps and crowns. The terrain matters too. Steep pitches are common in the South Hill area near Manito and Rockwood, and that changes how a crew sets up ladders and stages equipment. We plan for Spokane conditions, not a generic checklist.
Our Main Spokane Services
These three jobs cover what Spokane homeowners ask us about most, and each one has its own page with specific pricing and details.
Chimney Sweep in Spokane
Most Spokane chimneys need a sweep every one to two years, more often if you burn pine or tamarack, which is common firewood in this part of Washington. A sweep removes built-up creosote and soot from the firebox, smoke chamber, and flue so the chimney drafts properly and burns cleaner. In older Spokane homes with shallow fireboxes or offset flues, the job can take extra care to reach every surface. We brush everything by hand and vacuum as we go, leaving no dust in the living room. Full detail is on the service page. Chimney Sweep in Spokane
Chimney Inspection in Spokane
An inspection in Spokane is about verifying whether the chimney is safe for the next burn season. We check the flue liner, smoke chamber, cap, crown, flashing, and the clearances around the firebox. In neighborhoods with older homes, like Logan or West Central, we often find cracked tile liners or missing mortar joints that wouldn’t show up without a camera inside the flue. We document everything with photos and give you a written report, and if something needs repair, you’ll see the evidence before any money changes hands. Chimney Inspection in Spokane
Chimney Repair in Spokane
Spokane’s weather is hard on masonry. Ice gets into cracks, freezes, expands, and widens them every winter. Water then reaches the liner and the framing around the chimney chase. Repairs we handle include flue relining, crown rebuilding, flashing replacement, and tuckpointing deteriorated brick. We use HeatShield and DuraFlex products where the job calls for them, and every repair carries a written guarantee valid for one full year from the service date. If a covered repair fails within that year, we return at no charge. Chimney Repair in Spokane
