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 Bloomingdale, FL
We’re Flint Chimney Sweep, a chimney company serving Bloomingdale, FL with three services: chimney sweeping, chimney inspection, and chimney repair. Most Bloomingdale homes we see were built between the late 1980s and early 2000s, which means many chimneys are now reaching the age where liners crack, mortar joints open up, and creosote has had decades to accumulate. Florida’s wet, humid summers and the on-and-off burning season shape how we approach every job here. Call (830) 251-4560 for a written quote before any work begins.
Why Bloomingdale Homes Are Different
Bloomingdale sits inland from Tampa Bay, and the humidity does real work on masonry. Brick and block chimneys absorb moisture through the dry season and bake through the summer. That cycle widens hairline cracks into gaps you can fit a finger into. We regularly see Bloomingdale chimneys where the tile liner has cracked from water intrusion followed by heat expansion, which is a condition that can let heat reach the framing around the chase.
The housing stock matters too. Many homes along Bloomingdale Avenue, Kings Avenue, and in neighborhoods like River Overlook, Alafia Ridge, and Bloomingdale Trails were built with wood-burning fireplaces that have seen intermittent use, sometimes years of none at all. An unused fireplace still collects debris, and in Florida’s humidity, creosote turns tacky and traps dust and nesting material. When a homeowner fires it up after a long idle spell, that’s when problems show up.
HOA rules in some Bloomingdale communities require chimney work to be completed within certain hours or with prior approval for visible exterior repairs. We’ll tell you what we can see at the first visit, and we’re used to working within those constraints.
Our Main Bloomingdale Services
Bloomingdale homeowners call us most about two things: a chimney that hasn’t been cleaned in years and an inspection that’s needed before buying or selling a home. Here’s how each service works here.
Chimney Sweep in Bloomingdale
A standard sweep in Bloomingdale removes creosote, soot, and nesting debris from the flue and smoke chamber. We run brushes the full length of the flue, not just the firebox, and we clean up with a vacuum that traps dust rather than blowing it through the house. The humidity here means creosote often clings harder than it does in drier climates, so we take the extra pass when needed. If you’re not sure when your chimney was last cleaned, a sweep is the place to start. See the full details on Chimney Sweep in Bloomingdale.
Chimney Inspection in Bloomingdale
A Bloomingdale chimney inspection is a camera run through the flue so you can see the liner condition with your own eyes. We check from the firebox up through the flue cap, looking for cracked tiles, gaps in mortar joints, and water staining. Before you buy a home in Bloomingdale, an inspection tells you whether the fireplace is safe to use or whether the seller’s disclosure missed something. You get a written report and photos, not a verbal summary. Read more on Chimney Inspection in Bloomingdale.
Chimney Repair in Bloomingdale
Repairs in Bloomingdale usually involve relining a cracked flue, rebuilding a damaged crown, or tuckpointing exterior masonry that the humidity has worked loose. Every repair gets a written quote before work starts, and every repair carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing: if a covered repair fails within a year, we return and make it right at no charge. We use professional-grade materials like DuraFlex liners and HeatShield resurfacing, chosen for the specific job. Details are on the Chimney Repair in Bloomingdale page.
