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.
Fast, Reliable Chimney Repair Across Conway
Chimney repair in Conway typically runs $180 to $2,400 depending on what’s failing, with mortar repointing and flashing repair at the low end and full rebuilds or liner replacement at the high end. Most jobs are diagnosed with a camera inspection the same visit, and you get a written price before any work starts. If you’re off Conway Road or near the Dover Shores area, call us at (830) 251-4560 and we’ll get you scheduled. No vague estimates, no price changes at the door.
We work throughout Conway, from the ranch homes of Conway Gardens to the two-story builds around Lake Margaret Drive, and we know how this humid, storm-heavy climate treats masonry. That local knowledge matters when you’re deciding whether a crack in the chimney crown needs attention now or can wait until after hurricane season. We’ll give you a straight answer either way.
Why Flint Chimney Sweep Is Conway’s Preferred Chimney Repair Company
Homeowners in Conway keep calling us back because we put the price in writing before the first tool comes off the truck. That’s not a sales line. It’s how we’ve operated since 2002 as part of the Garrison Partners family, and it’s The Garrison Standard every job follows. You sign off on scope and cost, and the invoice matches what you approved.
Our techs arrive in uniform, background-checked, and on time to every Conway appointment. They don’t push repairs you don’t need. If the camera inspection shows a liner that’s still sound, you’ll hear that from us – along with a photo report showing exactly what we saw. Hank Delano, who runs Flint Chimney Sweep, built the company on the idea that a chimney service should document everything and guarantee the rest.
Every repair carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If a covered repair fails within a full year, we come back at no charge. No argument, no re-diagnosis fee, no waiting for a call back. A live person answers our phone 24/7, so when you call about a chimney concern in Conway at 9 p.m. on a Sunday, a human picks up.
Chimney Liner Installation in Conway
Chimney Liner Installation in Conway is the repair most homeowners don’t see coming, because the liner sits hidden inside the flue. What it does is simple: it’s the inner channel that carries smoke and combustion gases safely out of the house. When the original clay tile liner cracks – and Conway’s humidity cycle accelerates that – gases can leak into the home or into the masonry itself. A stainless liner from DuraFlex or Copperfield solves the problem permanently, and typical installs in Conway run $1,800 to $2,400 depending on chimney height and access.
Stainless Steel vs. Clay Tile Replacement
We stock professional-grade materials and specify by job, not by margin. A DuraFlex stainless liner is what we recommend for most Conway homes because it handles the temperature swings and moisture conditions here without the cracking risk of new clay tile. For heavily damaged original flues, a poured-in-place HeatShield system can rebuild the liner without demo work.
When a Conway Homeowner Actually Needs a New Liner
You need one when a Level 2 camera inspection shows a crack, a separated joint, or a missing tile section. A smoky smell on cool evenings – especially in older Conway ranches – is a common first sign. Don’t guess on this. The camera tells us in ten minutes whether the liner is still serviceable or has become a carbon monoxide risk.
Chimney Flashing Repair in Conway
Chimney Flashing Repair in Conway is the most common fix we do after summer storms, because the flashing – the metal seal where the chimney meets the roof – takes a beating from wind-driven rain and thermal expansion. In Conway, where afternoon thunderstorms roll through from June through September, loose or corroded flashing lets water run down the chimney chase and into the attic. Flashing repair in Conway generally runs $180 to $550 depending on whether it’s a reseal or a full replacement.
What Actually Fails on Conway Roofs
It’s usually the caulk seal around the flashing, not the metal itself. Florida sun bakes the sealant until it cracks, then rain follows the gap. We strip the old seal, inspect the metal, and reseal or replace with Famco flashing components. The repair goes in writing, and it’s covered by the one-year guarantee like everything else.
The Rusty Damper Connection
Water that gets past failing flashing ends up on the damper, and Conway’s humidity does the rest. A damper that’s rusted open or seized shut is often a flashing problem that went ignored. When we repair flashing here, we check the damper and the smoke chamber in the same visit because in this climate, the two failures travel together.
Trusted Brands We Service in Conway
We stock DuraFlex stainless liners, Famco flashing and dampers, and Copperfield caps for Conway customers, which means common repairs go faster than if we had to order parts from a warehouse. Having the right components on the truck matters when a storm has already loosened your flashing and the next band of rain is two days out. We also work with HeatShield for liner restoration jobs where the masonry is worth preserving. If you have a specific brand you’ve researched, tell us when you call – we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s the right fit for your chimney.
Common Chimney Repair Problems We See in Conway Homes
- Spalling brick from humidity and rain cycles. Conway’s humid subtropical pattern keeps masonry damp, and when brick face pops off, the chimney crown is usually the source. We repoint and rebuild using mortar matched to your existing masonry, not whatever is cheapest at the supply yard.
- Flashing failure after summer storm season. Every serious storm that rolls across Orange County takes its toll on the roof-to-chimney seal. What starts as a small leak becomes rusted dampers and water-stained ceilings within a year if it’s not addressed.
- Animal nesting in uncapped flues. Squirrels and birds find uncapped chimneys in Conway’s residential areas fast, especially in neighborhoods with mature tree canopies like Dover Shores. A proper Copperfield cap stops the nesting and the smoke backup that comes with it.
- Cracked flue liners in older homes. The 1970s and 1980s builds around Conway Gardens and Lake Margaret Drive are hitting the age where original clay tile liners fail. A camera inspection catches the crack before it becomes a fire or CO issue.

FAQs About Chimney Repair in Conway
Once a year, even if you burn only a few times each winter. Conway’s humidity and storm cycles cause moisture damage and animal nesting that build up regardless of how often you light a fire. A Level 1 inspection is visual and fast; a Level 2 with camera is what we recommend when anything looks off or the home is new to you. Call (830) 251-4560 to schedule an inspection and get a photo report you can keep for future comparison.
Third-degree creosote is a hard, tar-like glaze that forms when flue temperatures run low, which happens often in Conway’s short burn seasons. A standard brush usually can’t remove it effectively, and attempting to do so can damage a clay liner. We identify it with a camera and remove it using professional methods matched to your liner type. Call us for an inspection if you suspect a glaze buildup – the photo report shows you exactly what we’re dealing with.
You can wait a few weeks if the interior isn’t showing water, but not a full season. A rusted cap and loose flashing in Conway will allow water intrusion every time it rains, and the next big storm could push it into the attic. Flashing repair runs $180 to $550, which is far less than ceiling repair and damper replacement. Call (830) 251-4560 and we’ll get a crew out to look before the next front moves through.
We don’t promise same-day service, because a proper repair starts with a camera inspection and a written estimate, not a rushed fix. What we do offer is prompt scheduling for Conway addresses, with a firm arrival window and a live person on the phone 24/7 to book you. Most repairs are completed within a few days of diagnosis, and emergency situations are triaged by severity, not by whoever calls first.
A camera inspection feeds a small video scope up the flue from the firebox, recording the entire liner surface from bottom to top. Then the camera runs from the top down to check the crown, cap, and upper masonry. You receive a photo report of everything we saw, including any cracks, gaps, glaze, or moisture damage, with our plain-language reading of what needs to happen now and what can wait. Call (830) 251-4560 to book an inspection in Conway and see your chimney on camera for yourself.
