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.

We know Lewisville’s chimneys because we work on them weekly. Crews cover everything from the 1980s tract homes off Valley Ridge Boulevard to the older ranch-style houses near Main Street and Old Town. Whether you’re in the 75067 zip code by Lake Park or the 75057 neighborhoods near Vista Ridge Mall, an inspection is the only way to know if your flue is actually safe to burn. That’s not a sales pitch. It’s how chimney fires get prevented.
Why Flint Chimney Sweep Is Lewisville’s Preferred Chimney Inspection Company
Flint Chimney Sweep has been part of the Garrison Partners family since 2002, and every inspection we perform in Lewisville follows the same written standard: price first, camera second, photo report last. You’ll know what the inspection costs before we book, and you’ll see photos of what we found before we recommend a single repair. No guesswork, no door price changes.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and every repair we recommend carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If a covered repair fails within a year, we return at no charge. That’s the Garrison Standard, and it’s how this company has operated since day one. Homeowners near Lewisville High School and across the 75067 corridor call us because they’ve been burned before by a company that quoted one number on the phone and a different number at the door. We don’t work that way.
Hank Delano leads the team, and he insists on one rule above all: nothing goes in writing unless it’s true. If your chimney doesn’t need a liner, we’ll tell you it doesn’t need a liner. If it can wait until fall, we’ll say so. That’s why Lewisville homeowners stick with us year after year.
Fireplace Inspection in Lewisville
Fireplace Inspection in Lewisville means checking the full firebox, damper, smoke chamber, and the first visible section of the flue liner from inside the home. For most homeowners burning seasoned wood on the weekends, this is the right inspection level and it runs $149 – $249 depending on fireplace type and access. A prefab metal firebox, common in Lewisville’s 1980s-90s subdivisions off Round Grove Road, needs a different check than a traditional masonry fireplace built in the 1960s.
What We Check at the Firebox
The damper gets opened and inspected for rust-through, warping, and seal. The firebrick gets tapped for delamination and cracks. The smoke chamber gets a mirror check for creosote glaze and missing mortar joints.
When This Inspection Is Enough
If you burn occasionally, had a sweep within the last two years, and aren’t selling the house, a Level 1 fireplace inspection catches most problems. But if water has been getting in, or you hear loose mortar dropping when it rains, you need the camera on the flue, not just a look from the hearth.
Chimney Inspection Services in Lewisville
Chimney Inspection Services in Lewisville cover three levels defined by the National Fire Protection Association, and we explain each one in plain words before you pay. A Level 1 is the visual check described above. A Level 2 adds a camera run up the full flue liner plus an inspection of the exterior crown, flashing, and masonry from the roof. A Level 3 gets invasive: we open a section of the chimney to inspect behind walls, which is rare and typically only after a chimney fire or structural failure.
Camera Inspection for Hidden Damage
The camera is what actually finds the failure in Lewisville homes. We run it from the firebox up through the flue liner and record the whole pass. You get the photos. If the liner looks good, you’ll see that. If it’s cracked, glazed with third-degree creosote, or rusted at the seams, you’ll see that too.
Real Estate Inspections
Selling a home in Lewisville or buying one near Lake Lewisville? A Level 2 camera inspection is the standard for real estate transactions. Most home inspectors don’t run a camera up the flue, and a hidden liner crack can stall a closing or become a negotiation point. We inspect, photograph, and document so both sides get a straight answer.

When we replace a prefab firebox component, we match it to the original manufacturer spec. Local stock keeps turnaround shorter for Lewisville customers, and we’ll show you exactly which brand and product is going into your chimney before any work starts.
Common Chimney Inspection Problems We See in Lewisville Homes
- Failed prefab metal firebox seams. The 1980s-90s subdivisions off I-35E and Round Grove Road have thousands of zero-clearance prefab fireplaces, and those units rust through at the welded seams long before the brick veneer shows a thing. A Level 2 camera inspection is the only way to catch it early.
- Cracked crown and flashing from clay soil movement. Lewisville sits on expansive clay, and the summer heat cycles open hairline cracks in chimney crowns and flashing. Water tracks down through those cracks, rusts the damper, and spalls the brick faces. Most inspections here find water damage before they find heavy creosote.
- Third-degree creosote glaze behind a clean-appearing flue. Homeowners book a sweep, the top section looks fine, and nobody runs the camera all the way down to the smoke chamber. The glaze in the smoke chamber is what ignites, and it hides where a flashlight from the hearth never reaches.
- Missing or warped damper plates. Older homes near Old Town frequently have original dampers that are warped, rusted open, or seized shut. That means heat loss in winter, water intrusion in spring, and a firebox that won’t draft properly no matter how much wood you feed it.

FAQs About Chimney Inspection in Lewisville
Once a year, and the NFPA agrees, but the honest answer for Lewisville is that it depends on how much you burn and what kind of fireplace you have. A prefab metal firebox from 1988 needs an camera inspection sooner than a masonry fireplace on the same street. If you burn more than a cord a year, do a Level 2 every fall. If you burn occasionally, a Level 1 every two years is usually adequate. Call (830) 251-4560 and we’ll give you a straight recommendation for your house.
Cleaning removes the creosote and soot; inspection finds the reason it built up in the first place and checks for structural failures. A sweep without an inspection in Lewisville is how prefab firebox seam rust and cracked flue liners go unnoticed for a decade. We brush and vacuum, then we run the camera and hand you a photo report. The two jobs are done together because doing them separately misses the point.
If you’re selling a home, buying one, burning regularly, or it has been more than three years since anyone looked at the flue, you need the camera. A visual-only inspection cannot see the inside of a flue liner, the smoke chamber behind the damper, or the seam welds on a prefab firebox. The camera shows all of it, and you get the photos. For a home you’ve owned ten years and never had inspected, a Level 2 camera pass in Lewisville runs $249 – $399 and is the only way to know if the flue is actually sound. Call (830) 251-4560 to schedule one.
Yes, and it’s in writing before any work starts. That applies to every inspection, every sweep, and every repair we do in Lewisville. The number you approve is the number on the invoice. No door-price changes, no “unexpected conditions” add-ons after the fact. That’s the Garrison Standard, and it’s been the rule since 2002.
Sometimes, and we’ll tell you plainly when it can. If the inspection finds hairline crown cracks or light second-degree creosote, and you’re not burning right now, the work can typically wait until September without risk. If the camera finds third-degree glaze or a cracked flue liner, that should not wait; those are the conditions that cause chimney fires and carbon monoxide leaks. After every inspection you’ll receive a photo report that shows exactly what we found and what can safely wait. For an exact answer specific to your chimney, call (830) 251-4560.
