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 Lynnwood, WA
Flint Chimney Sweep is the Lynnwood chimney company that puts pricing and guarantee terms in writing before work begins. Most chimney work in Lynnwood comes down to three jobs: the sweep, the inspection, and the repair. Each has its own page detailed below. If you want a straight answer on cost before you book, call (830) 251-4560, or keep reading. We give the price first, every time.
Why Lynnwood Homes Are Different
Lynnwood’s housing stock runs older than a lot of King and Snohomish County. Plenty of homes here were built between 1970 and 1990, and their chimneys were built for wood fires that burned hot and often. What we see repeatedly in Lynnwood is creosote layers in masonry chimneys that have gone more than three years between sweeps, and brick crowns that have cracked from a decade of Puget Sound rain. A wet season here starts in October and doesn’t really end until May. Water sits on the crown, works into the mortar joints, and freezes overnight when the temperature dips below 30. That freeze-thaw cycle is the number one reason Lynnwood chimneys need repointing and crown work more often than homeowners expect. Prefab chimneys are common here too, especially in the newer developments east of I-5 and up around the Alderwood area. Those need different flue care than masonry, and we treat them differently.
Our Main Lynnwood Services
These are the two jobs Lynnwood homeowners call us about most. Each has its own page with pricing, process, and what to expect.
Chimney Sweep in Lynnwood
A standard Chimney Sweep in Lynnwood removes creosote and soot from the flue walls using rotary brushes sized to the liner. We run a camera afterward so you can see the flue is clear. For Lynnwood homes that burn three or more cords a season, or that have gone two winters without a sweep, the job often takes a little longer because the creosote has hardened. We give a written price before we start, and we lay drop cloths from door to hearth every time.
Chimney Inspection in Lynnwood
We offer Level 1 and Level 2 inspections. The Level 2 is what most Lynnwood buyers and sellers order during a real estate transaction, and it’s also what we recommend if you’ve had a chimney fire, a new appliance install, or an earthquake event in the area. This inspection uses a camera to look for cracks, gaps, and blockages inside the flue that a person can’t see from the roof. The report you get is written, with photos, and not a verbal summary. If we find a problem, we tell you plainly whether it needs action now or can wait. See the full Chimney Inspection in Lynnwood page.
Chimney Repair in Lynnwood
Chimney repairs in Lynnwood run the full range: flue relining (replacing the inner liner that channels smoke safely out of the house), crown repairs, mortar repointing, flashing replacement, and firebox repair. Every Chimney Repair in Lynnwood gets a written price before tools come off the truck, and the repair itself carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise. That means if a covered repair fails within one full year, we return at no charge. No argument, no pro-rated bill.

What pushes the price up in Lynnwood is usually liner type. A poured-in-place liner runs differently from a stainless steel insert, and access matters too. A chimney on a two-story 1970s split-level with a steep roof pitch costs more to work on than a single-story rambler. Whatever the number is, you’ll see it in writing before any work starts.
