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 Miami, FL
Flint Chimney Sweep is the Miami chimney company that puts the price in writing before any work begins. Most Miami homes have masonry chimneys built for a climate that rarely asks them to work hard, which means issues hide for years before anyone notices. We’re the crew that finds them early, explains them plainly, and stands behind every repair with a written one-year guarantee. Call (830) 251-4560 and you’ll get a live person, a straight answer, and a crew that shows up in uniform, on time.
Why Miami Homes Are Different
Miami’s heat and humidity do specific things to chimney masonry. The salt air near Biscayne Bay and the coast works into brick and mortar, and the summer rain cycle – daily downpours followed by 90-degree sun – creates repeated expansion and contraction that loosens joints over time. Homes in older neighborhoods like Coconut Grove, Coral Way, and Shenandoah carry chimneys built in the 1940s and 1950s, before modern flue liners were standard, and those older systems were often designed for wood-burning use that today’s homeowners rarely exercise. What we see most in Miami is a chimney that hasn’t been opened in years, with rusted dampers, cracked flue tiles, and moisture staining inside the firebox. It’s less about heavy creosote buildup and more about water intrusion and structural settling. Some Miami neighborhoods also have HOA rules about exterior work, and we’ll tell you before any visit what documentation we can provide for board approval.
Our Main Miami Services
Miami homeowners call us about two things more than anything else: a chimney that hasn’t been cleaned in years, and a chimney that failed an inspection during a home sale. All three of our core services have their own dedicated Miami pages, linked below.
Chimney Sweep in Miami
A Chimney Sweep in Miami here means removing the creosote, soot, and – just as often – the debris that Miami’s damp air helps collect. Birds, lizards, and the occasional raccoon find their way into uncapped flues across Dade County, and a chimney that hasn’t been swept in five years can hold a surprising amount of nesting material. We brush the full flue, vacuum everything, and leave a drop cloth between the fireplace and the rest of your living room. The work takes about an hour and you get a written report before we pack up.
Chimney Inspection in Miami
A Chimney Inspection in Miami is the standard first step for anyone buying or selling a home here, and for homeowners who can’t remember the last time anyone looked inside the flue. We run a camera up the chimney and you see the images yourself – cracked tiles, gaps in mortar, rust around the damper, or a flue that’s perfectly clean. Nothing we recommend is based on a guess. If we tell you a repair is needed, you’ll have the photo evidence in your hand, and if it can wait another season, we’ll say so.
Chimney Repair in Miami
Chimney Repair in Miami covers flue relining, crown repair, masonry repointing, damper replacement, and chase cover work. Miami’s moisture makes crown and chase cover failure the most common repairs we quote. When water sits on a cracked crown, it works down into the brick and the flue, and the damage compounds quickly in this climate. Our repair work uses professional-grade materials like HeatShield, Gelco, or Olympia Chimney products, and every repair carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise: a written guarantee, valid for a full year, with a free return visit if a covered repair fails.

FAQs About Chimney Company in Miami
Some Miami HOAs require approval for exterior chimney work like a crown rebuild or a new cap. Interior work like a sweep or flue relining usually doesn’t. We can provide a scope-of-work document for your board before the job starts, and we’ll note any exterior changes on your written estimate.
