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 Clermont, FL
Chimney cleaning in Clermont, FL runs $159 to $275 for a standard sweep, and most homes here need attention every fall before the first cold snap. The city’s rolling hills and lakeside communities create specific moisture and creosote patterns that make Clermont jobs different from Orlando or Tampa work. If you need a sweep, inspection, or repair, call Flint Chimney Sweep at (830) 251-4560 for a written price before anyone touches your chimney.
Why Clermont Homes Are Different
Clermont sits on the Lake Wales Ridge, which means most homes sit 100 to 150 feet above sea level on sandy, well-drained soil. That elevation changes how flues draft and how fast creosote accumulates. Homes in neighborhoods like Greater Pines, Clermont Heights, and the lakefront streets around Lake Minnehaha tend to have wood-burning fireplaces built in the 1980s and 1990s, and those chimneys have spent decades cycling between Clermont’s wet summers and dry winter burning seasons. That cycle is the problem. Moisture works into the masonry during hurricane-season rains, then high-heat fires bake that moisture out and crack the mortar joints. Our techs see more spalling brick and leaky crowns in Clermont than in lower-lying parts of Lake County because of that repeated wet-dry cycle.
Newer construction matters here too. Clermont has added thousands of homes in the last ten years, and many of those were framed around prefabricated fireplace units with factory-built chimneys. Those systems are engineered differently than masonry chimneys, and they need a trained eye to catch the specific failure points that come with Central Florida humidity. The HOA landscape in Clermont also means many communities have exterior-maintenance covenants. If your community requires documented chimney maintenance, our written inspection reports satisfy most HOA record requests.
Our Main Clermont Services
Clermont homeowners call us most for two things: a seasonal chimney sweep before burning season, and a camera inspection when they suspect something is off. Here’s what each job involves.
Chimney Sweep in Clermont
A Chimney Sweep in Clermont removes the creosote and soot that build up inside your flue, which is the single best defense against a chimney fire. In Clermont’s older lakefront homes, we often find ten or fifteen years of buildup because a previous owner treated the fireplace as decorative. Our techs run a full brushing from the firebox up through the cap, vacuum as they go, and leave the hearth clean. The written price covers everything before we start, and every sweep comes with our 365-day Done Right Promise so you know the job is guaranteed. This is the service Clermont residents should book every year before the holiday burning season.
Chimney Inspection in Clermont
A Chimney Inspection in Clermont uses a camera to document exactly what is happening inside your flue, which is critical for Clermont’s older housing stock. We check for cracked flue tiles, gaps in the mortar joints, water intrusion, and the hidden creosote deposits that a visual check from the roofline will miss. You get a written report with photos, not a verbal summary. If the camera shows issues that need repair, we show you the footage and explain what is urgent and what can wait. Nothing gets recommended without evidence you can see with your own eyes. Hank Delano insists on that standard for every inspection we run.
Chimney Repair in Clermont
Chimney Repair in Clermont covers everything from crown resurfacing and cap replacement to full flue relining, and every repair carries our written 365-day Done Right Promise. Clermont’s wet-dry cycle means crowns and brick work fail faster here than at lower elevations, and a small crack in the crown becomes a large masonry repair if water keeps getting in. We use DuraFlex and HeatShield products where the job calls for them, which means the liner or crown material you get is one you can research by name before you approve the work. The written price is fixed before any work begins, and the guarantee is in writing, valid for a full year.
