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 Gladeview, FL
Flint Chimney Sweep handles chimney cleaning, inspection, and repair across Gladeview, FL. The housing here runs heavily to single-story ranch homes and older mid-century builds, and most fireplaces get real use during the cooler stretch from November through February. Our crews arrive with a written price before any tool comes off the truck, so the number you approve is the number you pay. Call (830) 251-4560 to book a sweep or inspection.
Why Gladeview Homes Are Different
Gladeview sits in Miami-Dade County, where the humid, salt-tinged air works on masonry and metal year-round. Moisture doesn’t just cause surface staining; it gets into the flue and accelerates deterioration of mortar joints and steel liners at a faster rate than you’d see in drier parts of Florida. Homes here were mostly built between the 1950s and 1970s, which means original clay tile liners are common, along with the spalling and cracking that come with them after decades of heat-and-humidity cycles. We also see a lot of shallow-pitch roofs and low-profile chimney crowns, which changes how we stage ladders and inspect flashing. The geography is flat and the lots are tight, so access points tend to be narrow, with the chimney often placed close to a shared property line. All of that shapes how we protect landscaping, position roof ladders, and run the vacuum line during a sweep. Nothing about the work is exotic, but it is different from a newer development with wide setbacks and tall ridges.
Our Main Gladeview Services
Most Gladeview homeowners call on us for two things: a routine sweep before the burning season, and an inspection after water entry or a smelly fireplace. Here is what each involves locally.
Chimney Sweep in Gladeview
A Chimney Sweep in Gladeview removes the creosote and debris that build up inside the flue over time. In this climate, we also remove rust scale and any nesting material from birds and small animals – both common here. The work is done with a rotary brush system and a HEPA vacuum that keeps dust out of the living room. Most sweeps in Gladeview take 45 to 90 minutes, depending on flue size and how long it has been since the last cleaning. We leave a written report on what came out and what condition the flue was in.
Chimney Inspection in Gladeview
A Chimney Inspection in Gladeview goes further than a sweep. We run a camera through the flue and document every joint, the crown, the flashing, and the firebox. For older Gladeview homes with original clay liners, this is often where we find hidden spalling or a cracked tile that the naked eye misses. Every inspection includes a photo report, so you can see what we are seeing. If we find repair work, we will quote a written price and explain whether it needs doing now or can wait a season.
Chimney Repair in Gladeview
When a chimney has a cracked crown, failed flashing, or a damaged liner, Chimney Repair in Gladeview is the fix. This is the service where the 365-Day Done Right Promise matters most. Every repair – from a simple crown seal to a full flue relining – carries a written guarantee valid for one full year from the service date. If a covered repair fails within that window, we return and fix it at no charge. In Gladeview’s humid climate, proper flashing and crown work is usually the difference between a chimney that stays dry and one that leaks into the ceiling.

Pricing for Chimney Company in Gladeview, FL
What you’ll actually pay depends on the condition of the flue and the access to the roof, but here are the typical ranges we quote in Gladeview.
| Service | Typical range in Gladeview |
|---|---|
| Standard chimney sweep | $180 – $320 |
| Chimney sweep with heavy creosote (Stage 2 or 3) | $250 – $400 |

Gladeview’s older clay liners and salt-air exposure are the two biggest drivers of price. A liner that is cracked beyond repair pushes a quote from the sweep range into relining territory. On every job, the written price is prepared before any work starts, so nobody is surprised when the invoice arrives.
