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 Fallston, MD
Flint Chimney Sweep is the chimney company handling sweeps, inspections, and repairs in Fallston, MD. Most Fallston homes run on wood heat at least part of the year, and the combination of older construction, tall trees, and Harford County winters means flues accumulate creosote faster than homeowners expect. We give every Fallston job a written price before work starts, and every repair carries a 365-day written guarantee. Call (830) 251-4560 to schedule a chimney cleaning or inspection.
Why Fallston Homes Are Different
Fallston sits in Harford County’s rolling countryside, where homes spread out along Route 152, Route 147, and the side roads branching toward Bel Air and Kingsville. Plenty of these houses date from the 1960s through the 1990s, with masonry chimneys that have seen forty or fifty Maryland winters. The freezes matter because moisture works into brick and mortar joints, then expands and spalls the surface brick. By the time spring arrives, we see cracked crowns and deteriorated mortar on Fallston chimneys regularly.
The tree cover is another factor. Fallston lots tend to be wooded, and low-hanging branches from oaks and maples drop debris onto roof lines and cap assemblies. That debris holds moisture against the flue and blocks draft when it builds up around the crown. Homes near the Gunpowder Falls watershed also sit in higher-humidity pockets, which accelerates creosote buildup in unlined or old clay-tile flues. All of this shapes what a sweep in Fallston actually involves versus a sweep in a rowhouse district 30 minutes south.
Our Main Fallston Services
Three services make up most of the work we do in Fallston: full chimney sweeps, camera inspections, and repair jobs that run from crown resealing to flue relining with HeatShield or DuraFlex systems.
Chimney Sweep in Fallston
A Chimney Sweep in Fallston removes creosote and soot from the firebox, smoke chamber, and flue liner. In Fallston, where many homes burn wood regularly from October through March, we typically remove between one and three gallons of creosote from a flue that hasn’t been cleaned in two or more years. The sweep includes a visual check of the cap, crown, and accessible flue surfaces. We leave drop cloths in place, clean up all debris, and report what we found in plain words when the job is done.
Chimney Inspection in Fallston
Our Chimney Inspection in Fallston service uses a camera to document flue condition before or after a sweep. For older homes in Fallston, this inspection often catches liner cracks from forty years of thermal cycling before they become a safety or carbon monoxide problem. We provide a photo report with every inspection, so you see exactly what we see. If a liner does need attention, we show you the footage and quote repair work you can verify with your own eyes.
Chimney Repair in Fallston
Chimney Repair in Fallston covers everything from crown resealing to HeatShield resurfacing and full DuraFlex relining. Fallston freeze-thaw cycles work hard on masonry, so crown repairs and mortar repointing are common requests from early spring through late fall. Since every repair from Flint Chimney Sweep includes the 365-Day Done Right Promise, the written guarantee covers the work for a year from the service date. If a covered repair fails in that window, we return free of charge.
