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 Colorado Springs, CO
Flint Chimney Sweep handles chimney cleaning, inspection, and repair across Colorado Springs with written pricing and a one-year guarantee on every repair. Homes here sit at 6,035 feet, which changes how chimneys draft, how creosote builds, and how quickly freeze-thaw cycles tear at masonry. If you need a sweep before burning season or an inspection after a hailstorm, call (830) 251-4560 and we’ll give you a straight answer and a written price before any work starts.
Why Colorado Springs Homes Are Different
Colorado Springs chimneys take a beating from three directions: altitude, hail, and temperature swings. At this elevation, fires burn cooler and dirtier unless the flue is sized and cleaned correctly, which means creosote accumulates faster than it does in lower cities. The freeze-thaw cycle is the bigger structural problem. Water gets into brick and mortar, freezes at night, expands, and slowly breaks the chimney apart from the inside. Hail storms in neighborhoods like Briargate, Rockrimmon, and Old Colorado City add impact damage on top of that, cracking caps and shifting flashing.
Housing stock varies by area. The Westside has pre-1940s homes with original brick chimneys and clay tile liners that are often at the end of their life. Briargate and Stetson Hills have newer builds, but a lot of them went up fast in the 1990s and 2000s with entry-level prefab chimney systems that now show rust and warping. We work on both every week. Permits for major rebuilds go through the Pikes Peak Regional Building Department, and HOAs in master-planned communities like Flying Horse and Cordera often require specific cap styles and colors, so we check that before recommending anything visible from the street.
Our Main Colorado Springs Services
Most Colorado Springs homeowners call us for one of three things: a sweep before the first cold snap, an inspection after a storm or before buying a home, or a repair that a previous sweep flagged. Each service has its own Colorado Springs page below with pricing and local detail.
Chimney Sweep in Colorado Springs
A standard sweep in Colorado Springs removes creosote and soot from the flue and smoke chamber, checks the damper, and leaves the firebox clean enough to use that night. At this altitude, we pay close attention to glazed creosote, which forms when fires burn cool and smokey. We run a camera up the flue after every sweep so you can see what we saw. That’s part of the written report, not an upsell. Full detail on Chimney Sweep in Colorado Springs.
Chimney Inspection in Colorado Springs
Inspections in Colorado Springs fall into two buckets: real estate transactions and storm or hail damage. We follow the three-level standard, but most homeowners need a Level 2, which includes the camera run and a check of the attic, roof, and chase. Hail season runs May through August, and we see cracked flue tiles and dented caps from storms that didn’t touch the rest of the house. The camera evidence is yours to keep, and nothing gets recommended unless we can show you the photo. Full detail on Chimney Inspection in Colorado Springs.
Chimney Repair in Colorado Springs
Repair work here runs from simple crown sealing and cap replacement to full flue relining and masonry rebuilds. Freeze-thaw damage is the most common root cause we find in Colorado Springs, especially on west-facing chimneys that take the brunt of afternoon storms. We use materials specified by the job, not by margin, and every repair carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If a covered repair fails within a year, we return at no charge.

FAQs About Chimney Company in Colorado Springs
Sometimes. Master-planned communities like Flying Horse, Cordera, and Wolf Ranch often have design-review rules for visible components like caps, shrouds, and chase tops. We’ll flag that during the quote if your address falls in such a community, and we’ll spec materials that match the HOA’s approved palette so you don’t get a violation letter after the work is done. Call (830) 251-4560 and we’ll check while you’re on the phone.
Most sweeps and inspections are scheduled within a few days. Repair jobs depend on the scope and what parts need to come from the manufacturer, but you’ll get a written date range on the quote. We run Colorado Springs routes five days a week, and the live phone team can check open slots around the clock.
Yes. At 6,000-plus feet, fires burn with less oxygen unless the flue is properly sized, and that produces smoke that lingers longer and deposits creosote faster. We recommend an annual sweep for any Colorado Springs chimney that sees regular use from October through March. It’s cheap insurance against a chimney fire, and it keeps your draft strong through the shoulder seasons.
