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 Bayonet Point, FL
Chimney cleaning in Bayonet Point runs $129 to $239 for a standard sweep, and most homes here need one every one to two years. Bayonet Point’s mix of 1970s and 1980s ranch homes means chimneys were built for Florida winters, which is to say they get used three or four months a year and sit dormant the rest. That idle time is when creosote hardens and moisture works its way into brick and mortar. Call (830) 251-4560 and we’ll give you a written price before any work starts.
Why Bayonet Point Homes Are Different
Bayonet Point sits a few miles inland from the Gulf, which means humidity does most of the damage. The salt air that hits the coast gets diluted by the time it reaches Hudson and Bayonet Point proper, but the moisture stays. Brick chimneys here absorb that damp air for nine months a year while the fireplace sits cold. When the first cool front arrives in late November, homeowners light a fire and the moisture trapped in the masonry expands. That’s when hairline cracks become visible, and it’s the single most common reason we get called out to Bayonet Point.
Most homes here were built between 1965 and 1990. The chimneys are typically masonry block with clay tile liners, which were standard for Pasco County at the time. Clay tile holds up well against heat, but it does not flex. After forty or fifty years of Florida temperature swings, tiles crack and the mortar joints between them erode. We see it in the Fivay Road corridor and throughout the residential streets off State Road 52. The houses themselves are nearly identical down a given street, but the chimneys are all in different stages of wear depending on how often the fireplace was actually used.
One more thing Bayonet Point homeowners deal with is rain. Summer downpours hit the chimney cap and, if the cap is missing or rusted through, water pours straight down the flue and into the firebox. That’s a Bayonet Point problem more than a cold-climate problem, because the rain is heavy and the chimney sits unused while it’s happening.
Our Main Bayonet Point Services
Most Bayonet Point calls start as one of two things: a chimney that hasn’t been swept in years, or a chimney that failed an inspection and now needs work. Here’s what each service covers here.
Chimney Sweep in Bayonet Point
A Chimney Sweep in Bayonet Point removes the creosote and soot that build up on the flue walls every time you burn. In Bayonet Point, we also pull out the nests and debris that get in during the long offseason. Squirrels, birds, and wasps all find an uncapped chimney in a Florida suburb and move right in. Our crew runs brushes top to bottom, vacuums the firebox, and lays drop cloths wall to wall before a single tool comes out. When we leave, it’s swept and the area is clean.
Chimney Inspection in Bayonet Point
A Chimney Inspection in Bayonet Point is how you find out what’s actually happening inside the flue without guessing. We run a camera the full height of the chimney and give you a written report with photos. In Bayonet Point, that usually means checking for cracked clay tiles, water intrusion at the crown, and creosote buildup flaking off the walls. We don’t tell you a liner is shot because we think it might be. We show you the picture.
Chimney Repair in Bayonet Point
When the sweep or inspection turns up a problem, Chimney Repair in Bayonet Point is how we fix it. Common jobs here include replacing a rusted chimney cap, rebuilding a cracked crown, repointing brick that has started to separate, and relining flues with damaged clay tile. Every repair carries a written, year-long guarantee. If a covered repair fails within that year, we return and fix it at no charge. That’s the whole point of the 365-Day Done Right Promise.

Most sweeps and inspections need no permit anywhere in Pasco County. When a repair is structural, like a rebuild or relining, we check the permitting requirements and tell you before we start. HOA rules vary by neighborhood, so if yours has one, call them or check your covenants. We won’t start work you’re not cleared for.
Depends on the cause. If a storm damaged the cap or crown, your homeowner’s policy may cover the repair. If the liner cracked from age and use, it’s almost always on you. We give you a written report with photos that you can hand to your adjuster, and we answer their questions directly. Get the camera before you file the claim.
