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 Alvarado, TX
Flint Chimney Sweep handles chimney cleaning, inspection, and repair across Alvarado, TX, with a process built on one thing: you get a written price before any work starts. Alvarado’s mix of older brick ranch homes and newer construction means chimneys here face different stresses, from Johnson County clay soil movement to fast temperature swings that work mortar joints loose. Our crews arrive in uniform, background-checked, and we put every repair under a 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. Call (830) 251-4560 and a live person answers, any hour.
Why Alvarado Homes Are Different
Alvarado sits on the edge of the Grand Prairie, where the soil shifts with every wet-dry cycle. That movement shows up in chimney masonry faster than most homeowners expect. Hairline cracks in the crown, stair-step mortar separation on the exterior brick, and flashing that pulls away from the roofline are common across Alvarado streets from County Road 403 to the neighborhoods off Highway 67. Homes built in the 1960s through 1980s dominate the older sections of town, and many still run wood-burning fireplaces with original clay tile liners. Those liners crack over decades of North Texas heat, and cracked liners put heat and gases where they don’t belong.
The wind is the second difference. Alvarado catches strong south winds crossing open ranchland with little to slow it down. That wind drives debris into uncapped flues, nests deeper into the chimney chase, and accelerates creosote buildup on the windward side of the flue. We see it on inspections here regularly. It’s also why a chimney cap rated for high wind is a common recommendation on older Alvarado homes that were built without one.
Our Main Alvarado Services
These are the three jobs Alvarado homeowners call us about most. Each has its own page with full detail on what the work involves, what it costs, and what happens on the day of the appointment.
Chimney Sweep in Alvarado
A chimney sweep removes the creosote and soot that accumulate every time a fire burns. In Alvarado, where oak and mesquite are the most common firewood choices, creosote forms steadily and needs removal at least once per burning season. We use a brush system sized to your flue, then run a camera down to confirm the walls are clean. Floors stay covered during the entire job. Full detail on Chimney Sweep in Alvarado.
Chimney Inspection in Alvarado
Inspection is how we find problems before they become chimney fires or carbon monoxide problems. Alvarado’s shifting clay soil means mortar joints and the chimney crown deserve close attention on every inspection. We run a camera the full length of the flue and document what we find, so you see the actual condition instead of taking our word for it. A written report follows the visit. Full detail on Chimney Inspection in Alvarado.
Chimney Repair in Alvarado
Repair work covers everything from crown resurfacing with Gelco sealer to full flue relining with DuraFlex. Alvarado homes with original clay tile liners often need a liner evaluation after decades of heating and cooling cycles. Every repair we quote includes a written scope and a one-year guarantee. If a covered repair fails within that year, we return at no charge. Full detail on Chimney Repair in Alvarado.
