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 Grapevine, TX
Flint Chimney Sweep handles chimney cleaning, inspection, and repair across Grapevine, TX. Most Grapevine homes we see were built between the 1970s and early 2000s, with masonry fireplaces and clay tile liners that have now reached the age where spalling and cracked flue tiles show up on camera. The local climate, with its hot summers, sudden cold snaps, and spring storm seasons, puts real expansion-and-contraction stress on chimney crowns and mortar joints. A standard chimney sweep in Grapevine typically runs $189 to $349 depending on creosote volume and accessibility, and we put that number in writing before any work begins. Call (830) 251-4560 for a free estimate.
Why Grapevine Homes Are Different
Grapevine’s housing stock trends toward two distinct chimney profiles. The older neighborhoods around downtown, near Main Street and the Historic District, feature brick homes from the 1950s through 1970s with original masonry fireplaces. Those chimneys were built well, but the mortar and crowns have weathered fifty-plus Texas summers. The newer subdivisions, from the 1980s through the 2010s, more often have prefabricated or factory-built fireplaces with metal flues and chase covers. The failure mode differs: older masonry develops cracked crowns, spalled brick, and missing mortar joints, while newer factory-built systems tend to show rust, warped chase covers, and deteriorated galvanized pipe. Both profiles share one Grapevine-specific challenge, and that is the region’s hail and windstorm season. In neighborhoods around Lake Grapevine and the northern sections of the city, we routinely see crown damage and displaced chimney caps after spring storms roll through. Terrain matters less here than it does in steeper parts of the Metroplex, but wind exposure is real: homes on open lots near the lake or along the SH-114 corridor catch gusts that accelerate cap and flashing wear. Most Grapevine homeowners also deal with standard HOA visual standards for exterior chimney components, which means a rusty chase cover or missing cap is not just a performance issue, it can draw a notice from the association.
Our Main Grapevine Services
Most Grapevine homeowners call us for one of two reasons: a routine home fireplace cleaning before the fall burning season, or a chimney inspection because they have noticed water stains, a smoky smell, or missing mortar. Here is what each service involves locally.
Chimney Sweep in Grapevine
A Chimney Sweep in Grapevine removes creosote and soot from the flue using professional rotary brushes sized to your liner, whether it is a clay tile masonry flue or a metal factory-built pipe. We protect the hearth area before we start, run the brush from the firebox up through the full flue length, and vacuum out what comes down. Grapevine homes that burn wood during the fall and winter, especially those using softer woods or unseasoned oak, often build creosote faster than homeowners expect. Our sweep includes a camera check of the flue surfaces after brushing so we can tell you what condition the liner is in, not just that the flue is clean. The work is done in one visit, and the price is confirmed in writing before we start.
Chimney Inspection in Grapevine
A Chimney Inspection in Grapevine is a camera-based examination of the entire flue path, from firebox to chimney crown. We look for cracked flue tiles, gaps in mortar joints, animal nesting, water intrusion signs, and damage to the cap or crown. In Grapevine specifically, we look for two things that show up often: spalled clay tiles from decades of thermal cycling, and rust inside factory-built metal flues from North Texas humidity and condensation. The camera footage is shown to you on site, and you get a written report with clear recommendations, none of which we will push on you without the footage to back it up. If the flue is clean and sound, we say so and you pay for the inspection, nothing more.
Chimney Repair in Grapevine
Chimney Repair in Grapevine covers everything from tuckpointing and crown repair to flue relining and chase cover replacement. Grapevine’s freeze-thaw cycle is mild compared to northern states, but it is enough to crack a failing crown or let water into spalling brick. The most common repair we quote in Grapevine is a new stainless steel liner, usually a DuraFlex system, where the original clay tile liner has cracked past the point of safe use. Every repair carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise, a written one-year guarantee. If a covered repair fails within that year, we return at no charge.
