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.

Why Flint Chimney Sweep Is Spring’s Preferred Chimney Repair Company
We’ve worked on enough Spring chimneys to know what this town throws at them: pine limbs on caps, rusted dampers, freeze-thaw crown cracks, and raccoons that think an open flue is a move-in-ready condo. Our techs know the 1990s subdivision builds south of Louetta and the older ranches up near Old Town Spring. When you call, you get a straight answer, not a pitch.
The shops under the Garrison Partners umbrella, including Flint Chimney Sweep, run on The Garrison Standard: price, scope, and a written 365-Day Done Right Promise before any work starts. That means if a covered repair fails within a year, we come back at no charge. No second invoice, no argument. Spring homeowners have told us that’s the reason they called us instead of the next name on the list. Hank Delano, who runs Flint, holds every job to that same bar.
Every quote is written. Every tech is background-checked and in uniform. And someone answers the phone at 2 a.m. if a chimney emergency keeps you up.
Chimney Crown Repair in Spring
Chimney Crown Repair in Spring is one of the most common fixes we do because the crown, which is the concrete slab on top of your chimney, takes a beating from Houston-area freeze-thaw cycles and Spring’s heavy pine canopy. When the crown cracks, water gets in and starts attacking the mortar joints below.
A cracked crown in Spring typically needs repair when you see hairline fractures spreading across the top surface, spalling brick faces just below the crown line, or white efflorescence staining on the firebox interior. In Spring, a standard chimney crown repair runs $450 – $950 depending on crown size and crack extent. We use professional-grade crown sealer and patch compounds, specified by job, never by margin.
What a crown repair visit includes
We start with a camera inspection of the crown and the flue interior just below it. Photos go into a written report. You approve the repair price before we mix any material.
When crown repair can wait
A hairline crack without spalling or interior moisture may be safe to monitor for another season. Once water is reaching the smoke chamber, it can’t wait.
Chimney Repair Companies in Spring
Chimney Repair Companies in Spring are not hard to find; the harder part is finding one that puts the scope and price in writing before the first tool comes off the truck. That’s the line we draw at Flint Chimney Sweep.
When you compare Chimney Repair contractors in Spring, ask two questions: Will you hand me a written quote before starting, and what happens if the repair fails in six months? Our answer to the first is yes, every job, no exceptions. Our answer to the second is the 365-Day Done Right Promise, valid for one full year from the service date.

Trusted Brands We Service in Spring
Flint Chimney Sweep stocks and installs professional-grade chimney products for Spring customers, including Olympia Chimney caps and dampers, Famco vents, and Copperfield components.

Keeping common parts on hand means less waiting for a Spring homeowner between diagnosis and repair. You can verify any of these brands independently before you approve the work.
Common Chimney Repair Problems We See in Spring Homes
- Storm-blown pine limbs and broken caps: Spring’s tree canopy drops limbs onto spark arrestor screens and chimney caps every storm season, leaving flues open to rain and wildlife. We replace the cap and resecure the screen before a squirrel moves in.
- Cracked crowns from freeze-thaw cycles: Houston-area winters swing wet and cold just enough to expand hairline cracks into real openings. Water wicks into the smoke chamber and starts spalling brick.
- Seized dampers from rust: Humid Gulf air works on damper hardware year-round in Spring. A damper that won’t open or close properly is often a $350 – $600 repair, not a full replacement.
- Failing 1980s – 90s flue liners: Original clay tile liners in older Spring subdivisions often crack at the seams behind the damper. A Level 2 camera inspection is the only way to catch it before carbon monoxide becomes a concern.

FAQs About Chimney Repair in Spring
Once a year, even if you only burn occasionally. Spring’s humidity and pine debris mean creosote builds differently than in drier climates, and animals can move into an uncapped flue between seasons. An annual inspection costs less than one surprise repair.
Third-degree creosote, which is the shiny, tar-like stuff, can sometimes be treated rather than rebuilt, but it depends on whether it has compromised the flue liner itself. We diagnose with a camera, show you the photos, and recommend only what the evidence supports; if it can safely wait, we say so.
A standard repair visit includes camera inspection, a written photo report, and a flat quote before any work begins. Repairs in Spring typically run $300 to $1,800 depending on scope; a crown repair is usually $450 – $950, and a cap replacement $275 – $525. Call (830) 251-4560 for an exact quote.
If the damage is cosmetic, like minor efflorescence or a hairline crown crack without water intrusion, it can often wait a season. Once water is reaching the smoke chamber, a liner is cracked, or the damper is seized, waiting turns a $500 repair into a $2,500 rebuild.
We don’t promise same-day service because every job gets a written scope and camera documentation before any work starts. In most Spring locations, we can usually schedule an inspection within a few business days, depending on the season. Call (830) 251-4560 to get on the schedule.
