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 Town and Country, WA
Flint Chimney Sweep handles chimney cleaning, inspection, and repair across Town and Country, WA, with written pricing before any work begins and a one-year guarantee on every repair. Town and Country sits in Spokane County’s unincorporated eastern edge, where homes range from mid-century ranchers to larger custom builds on acreage, many with wood-burning fireplaces and wood stoves that see heavy use from October through April. Our crews work throughout the area and coordinate scheduling through our Seattle office. Call (830) 251-4560 for a free estimate, or read on for what Town and Country chimney work actually costs.
Why Town and Country Homes Are Different
Town and Country sits at roughly 2,000 feet of elevation in the Spokane Valley, which means real winter temperatures and a burning season that often stretches five to six months. Homes here are mostly single-family, built across a wide span of years, and many original fireplaces from the 1960s and 1970s are still in active service. That matters because older fireboxes and clay tile liners were not built for the heat output of modern EPA-certified wood stoves, and we regularly find cracked flue tiles in homes throughout the area. The terrain varies too: properties along the Little Spokane River corridor and up toward Mount Spokane see more moisture and wind exposure than homes on the flats, which influences how quickly creosote builds and whether exterior masonry needs more frequent attention. Homeowners in Town and Country who burn fir, tamarack, or pine, the common local firewoods, should expect to need at least one sweep per burning season, sometimes two if they heat primarily with wood.
Our Main Town and Country Services
The two services Town and Country homeowners call about most are chimney sweeping and chimney inspection, and repair work usually follows what the inspection finds. Each service has its own Town and Country page with full pricing and what to expect.
Chimney Sweep in Town and Country
A chimney sweep in Town and Country means removing creosote and soot from the flue, smoke chamber, and firebox so the system drafts correctly and burns safely. Because wood burning runs long here, our sweeps often encounter glazed creosote, the hardened, tar-like buildup that comes from low-temperature fires, and that takes longer to remove than the fluffy ash most homeowners picture. Every sweep gets a written price before we start and includes a camera check of the flue so you see what we see. Chimney Sweep in Town and Country covers the full process and what a standard sweep costs.
Chimney Inspection in Town and Country
A chimney inspection in Town and Country uses a camera to document the inside of the flue from top to bottom, checking for cracked tiles, gaps in the liner, water entry, and creosote depth. For older Town and Country homes with original clay liners, an inspection often reveals deterioration that is not visible from the outside, and we only recommend repairs when the camera footage shows a real problem. You receive a written report with still images after every inspection. Chimney Inspection in Town and Country explains the three levels of inspection and when each applies.
Chimney Repair in Town and Country
Chimney repair in Town and Country covers masonry work, flue relining (replacing the inner liner that channels smoke safely out of the house), chimney cap replacement, and water damage repair. Winter freeze-thaw cycles in Spokane County are hard on brick and mortar, and repairs here need materials rated for temperature swings and moisture. Every repair we make in Town and Country carries a written one-year guarantee, and if a covered repair fails within that period, we return at no charge. Chimney Repair in Town and Country has full pricing and the repair process.
