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.

Flint Chimney Sweep handles chimney cleaning, inspection, and repair for Sharon Hill, PA homes, and we put every job’s price and scope in writing before any work begins. Sharon Hill’s housing stock runs older – plenty of pre-1970 construction with masonry chimneys that have seen decades of Delaware Valley winters. If your chimney hasn’t been swept or inspected within the last two years, call us at (830) 251-4560 for a free estimate and a straight answer about what you’re working with.
Why Sharon Hill Homes Are Different
Sharon Hill sits low and flat near Darby Creek, and the soil here holds moisture through the winter. That matters for chimneys. Freeze-thaw cycles push water into small cracks in brick and crown mortar, and the expansion widens them year after year. We see the same pattern on Hook Road and Calcon Hook Road: spalling brick faces near the top of the stack, eroded crown joints, and damp staining on the flue walls. A standard sweep gets the creosote out, but it also puts our eyes on those moisture entry points before they become a $2,000 masonry repair instead of a $200 crown seal.
Most Sharon Hill homes are twins, rowhouses, or modest single-family builds with a single flue serving one fireplace or a oil-to-gas converted furnace. That shared-wall construction means two separate chimney stacks can sit side by side, each venting a different unit’s appliances. When we run a camera inspection on one, we’re careful to document that neighboring stack’s condition separately. If you’re selling or buying on School Street or Barker Avenue, the Level 2 inspection is the one that gets requested most often by local agents.
Our Main Sharon Hill Services
Sharon Hill homeowners call us most about two things: a clogged or smoke-stained chimney that needs a sweep, and an inspection before a home sale or a first fire of the season. All three services below are handled locally with written pricing and a full-year guarantee on any repair.
Chimney Sweep in Sharon Hill
A standard sweep removes creosote, soot, and any debris that’s accumulated in the flue since the last burn season. In Sharon Hill, we also look for what the damp climate leaves behind: flaky creosote that forms a hardened glaze, and the occasional bird or squirrel nest that drops down an uncapped flue. We use a rotary brush system matched to your flue size, and we protect the hearth and floor with drop cloths before we start. The whole job runs about an hour to ninety minutes on a typical single-flue Sharon Hill home. Chimney Sweep in Sharon Hill
Chimney Inspection in Sharon Hill
Inspections aren’t just a look down the flue. We run a camera the full length of the liner and record what we find, then walk you through the footage so you can see it yourself. That matters in Sharon Hill, where twin and row homes often have flues that haven’t been opened up in 20-plus years. We inspect the crown, the flashing, the damper, the firebox, and the connection to your furnace or boiler. Chimney Inspection in Sharon Hill
Chimney Repair in Sharon Hill
When an inspection turns up damage, we write the repair scope in plain terms and price it before we touch anything. Common Sharon Hill repairs include crown sealing, flue relining with DuraFlex, and HeatShield resurfacing for flues with cracked clay tiles but sound structure. Every repair carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise: a written guarantee valid for one full year. If a covered repair fails, we come back and fix it at no charge. Chimney Repair in Sharon Hill

What pushes a Sharon Hill job toward the top of a range is usually access. Steep roof pitches on some of the two-story twins off Chester Pike, a chimney stack that’s tight to a shared wall, or a flue that hasn’t been opened in years and needs an extra pass. Whatever the number is, you’ll see it in writing before we start, and that written price is the price on the invoice.
