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 East Aurora, NY
Flint Chimney Sweep handles chimney cleaning, inspection, and repair across East Aurora, NY with a straightforward approach: written pricing before any work starts, a written one-year guarantee on repairs, and technicians who show up when we say they will. East Aurora’s mix of 19th-century village homes and newer subdivisions means the chimney work here varies more than most towns south of Buffalo. Call (830) 251-4560 and you’ll reach a live person, day or night.
Why East Aurora Homes Are Different
East Aurora’s housing stock spans two centuries. Homes along Main Street and in the village core often date to the 1850s through 1920s, with brick or stone chimneys that were built before modern liner standards existed. Older East Aurora chimneys frequently lack a clay tile liner entirely, or have one that’s cracked past the point where sweeping alone is enough. The soil here matters too. East Aurora sits on what’s locally called the Hamburg Plain, where frost heave shifts foundations and chimney bases each winter. We see more separation between the chimney stack and the house wall in East Aurora than in nearby Buffalo or Lancaster, because the clay-heavy soil moves more.
Lake-effect snow is another factor. East Aurora averages well over 90 inches of snow each winter, and freeze-thaw cycles work water into brick and mortar joints. That’s why we recommend fall inspections here before the first sustained freeze. The village also has active historic preservation standards near the Roycroft campus, so repair work on older homes sometimes needs approval before masonry changes go in. We can walk you through what that looks like.
Our Main East Aurora Services
Most East Aurora homeowners call us for one of two things: a sweep before burning season, or an inspection after they’ve noticed something off. Repairs follow when the inspection turns up a problem.
Chimney Sweep in East Aurora
A Chimney Sweep in East Aurora removes creosote and soot from the flue, smoke chamber, and firebox. In East Aurora, we typically sweep chimneys from October through December, before the real lake-effect cold sets in. Older village homes with unlined flues build creosote faster than newer homes, so the sweep interval matters here. We protect floors and furniture during the job, and the price you get before we start is the price you pay.
Chimney Inspection in East Aurora
A Chimney Inspection in East Aurora checks for cracked liners, water damage, blockages, and clearance issues. For East Aurora village homes, we often recommend a Level 2 inspection after a chimney fire, before a home sale, or when a chimney hasn’t been used in several seasons. The camera inspection gives you a photo report, so you see what we see.
Chimney Repair in East Aurora
Chimney Repair in East Aurora covers everything from crown sealing and mortar repair to full flue relining with DuraFlex or HeatShield. Frost heave in East Aurora means crown cracks are common, and we fix them before water gets behind the brick. Every repair we do is covered by our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing.
