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 Provo, UT
Flint Chimney Sweep is the chimney company Provo homeowners call when they want a written price, a set arrival window, and work that’s guaranteed for a full year. Provo’s mix of 1960s ramblers, 1990s foothill builds, and newer east-bench construction means a lot of different fireplace and flue setups, and the Wasatch Front’s inversion season punishes any chimney that isn’t drafting cleanly. We work under The Garrison Standard: every job gets a documented scope and price before we start. Call (830) 251-4560 and a live person answers.
Why Provo Homes Are Different
Provo sits hard against the Wasatch Front, and that changes how chimneys behave. Cold air sinks down the canyons during winter inversions, and homes on the east bench, around Edgemont and Rock Canyon, catch more wind-driven downdrafts than homes in the flat grid west of University Avenue. A chimney that draws fine in October can start back-puffing smoke into the living room by January, not because anything broke but because the pressure conditions around the house changed.
Housing stock runs the full range. The tree streets between Center Street and the foothills hold a lot of masonry fireplaces from the 1950s through the 1970s, many with original clay tile liners that have been absorbing creosote for half a century. Newer construction along the west side and up toward the mouth of Provo Canyon skews toward factory-built fireplaces and stainless steel flues, which fail differently: warped caps, rusted chase tops, and damaged flashing where the chase meets the roof. Snow load matters too. Provo gets real accumulation, and freeze-thaw cycles work on chimney crowns and cap flashing more aggressively than in Salt Lake Valley proper. We inspect for exactly those failure points.
Our Main Provo Services
Most Provo calls start with one of two problems: a fireplace that hasn’t been looked at in years, or a smell or draft issue that shows up once the weather turns. All three services below carry the same promise: written price first, uniformed and background-checked technician on site, and a 365-day written guarantee on any repair.
Chimney Sweep in Provo
A standard Chimney Sweep in Provo removes the creosote and soot built up inside the flue, then we check the damper, firebox, and cap as part of the same visit. In Provo, burn season starts in earnest around October, and wood-burning fireplaces in the older east-side neighborhoods tend to produce heavier creosote because those fires run low and slow during inversions. We write the price before we start and the number on the invoice matches it. Every sweep includes a basic visual condition check, and anything we flag gets photographed so you can see it yourself.
Chimney Inspection in Provo
A Chimney Inspection in Provo is what you schedule before buying a home, after a chimney fire, or when you’ve owned the house for a few years and have never actually seen the inside of the flue. We use cameras to document liner condition, mortar joints, and any blockage, then give you a written report with photos. Provo’s older neighborhoods, especially around the Maeser and Franklin areas, change hands often enough that real estate transactions are a common trigger. If an inspection finds nothing actionable, we tell you that plainly and put it in writing.
Chimney Repair in Provo
When the inspection finds damage, Chimney Repair in Provo covers the fix, from crown sealing and cap replacement to flue relining (replacing the inner liner that channels smoke safely out of the house). We specify materials by job: HeatShield for resurfacing degraded clay liners, DuraFlex stainless for full relines, and Olympia Chimney caps and chase covers where exposure on Provo’s east bench demands better metal. Every repair carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise, a written guarantee valid for one full year. If a covered repair fails, we return at no charge.

What pushes a Provo job toward the top of the range is usually access: steep roofs on east-bench homes, tall chases on newer construction, and existing water damage that has to be addressed before the liner or cap goes on. All of that gets documented before we quote, so there are no surprises at the door. Hank Delano runs the crew, and he’s the one who signs off on every written price.
