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 Richboro, PA
Flint Chimney Sweep handles chimney cleaning, inspection, and repair across Richboro, PA. A standard sweep in Richboro typically runs $189 – $329, and we put that price in writing before any work begins. Homes here run on Northampton Township’s mix of 1970s colonials, 1980s center-hall builds, and newer developments off Newtown-Richboro Road, and the fireplaces in those houses see real use from October through March. Call (830) 251-4560 for a free estimate.
Why Richboro Homes Are Different
Richboro sits in Northampton Township, where most chimneys are masonry structures built alongside the original house, not prefabricated pipe added later. That matters because older masonry chimneys in this part of Bucks County absorb moisture differently than newer construction. Freeze-thaw cycles in January and February push water into hairline cracks in the crown and brick face, and what starts as a spall – a thin flake of brick popping off – becomes a repair job by spring.
We also see a lot of fireplaces in the developments around Holland Road and Twining Road that get used heavily on weekends, then ignored for months. Creosote builds up in those flues faster than homeowners expect, especially in masonry chimneys with unlined or partially lined flues. The county does not require a permit for a routine sweep, but if your Richboro chimney needs liner work or a chase repair, Northampton Township permitting rules apply. We will tell you plainly when a permit is involved and who handles the filing.
Our Main Richboro Services
Most Richboro homeowners call us first for a sweep or an inspection. Repairs usually follow what the camera shows.
Chimney Sweep in Richboro
A Chimney Sweep in Richboro starts with floor protection laid around the hearth and a high-powered vacuum running before the brush ever enters the flue. We remove creosote and soot from the firebox, smoke chamber, and flue liner, then take a photo of the inside so you can see the result for yourself. In Richboro, where many fireplaces burn seasoned oak and occasional artificial logs, we typically advise an annual sweep if you use the fireplace more than twice a week during winter. Tarps, drop cloths, and shoe covers are standard on every job.
Chimney Inspection in Richboro
Our Chimney Inspection in Richboro is a camera-based evaluation of the flue liner, smoke chamber, damper, and exterior masonry. Every inspection includes a written report with photos, so when we recommend work, you can see the exact crack, gap, or creosote buildup on your own screen. In Richboro, we find a lot of damper rust and flashing wear on homes built before 1990, especially along the ridge lines of colonials where the chimney faces prevailing wind. You never have to guess whether a repair recommendation is real.
Chimney Repair in Richboro
Chimney Repair in Richboro covers everything from crown resurfacing with Gelco to full flue relining with DuraFlex or HeatShield. The difference here is the written guarantee: every repair carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise, valid for one full year from the service date. If a covered repair fails during that window, we return at no charge. In Richboro, common repair jobs include flashing replacement where the chimney meets the roof line and repointing of mortar joints that have softened from decades of weather exposure.
