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 Five Corners, WA
Flint Chimney Sweep handles chimney cleaning, inspection, and repair for homeowners across Five Corners, WA. Most of the chimneys we work on here were built into homes from the 1980s and 1990s, which means they’re old enough to have real creosote buildup and flashing issues but not so old that every job turns into a full rebuild. Our techs arrive with a written price before any tools come off the truck, and every repair carries a 365-day written guarantee. Call (830) 251-4560 to talk through what you’re seeing.
Why Five Corners Homes Are Different
Five Corners sits in a part of Washington where damp winters and shoulder-season rain put extra moisture against chimney exteriors, while regular wood burning through fall and winter builds creosote inside the flue. That combination is what drives most of our calls here. Homes in this area trend toward mid-size suburban builds, many with masonry chimneys wrapped in wood framing. The real difference we see on Five Corners jobs is the moisture: flashing and crown sealant take more abuse in this climate than they do in drier parts of the state, and a small flashing gap turns into interior staining faster than most homeowners expect.
For our crews, that means a routine service call here often includes checking cap fit, crown condition, and water entry points as part of the work, because skipping those checks in this climate is how a minor repair becomes a bigger one. Homeowners in Five Corners also tend to burn softwoods like fir and pine, which build creosote differently than hardwoods do. We account for that when we talk with you about how often to schedule a sweep.
Our Main Five Corners Services
The three calls we get most from Five Corners are for sweeps, inspections, and repairs. Each one has its own page, but here is what each involves locally.
Chimney Sweep in Five Corners
A standard sweep here includes brushing the full flue, removing creosote and soot from the smoke chamber and firebox, checking the damper, and leaving the work area as we found it. In Five Corners, where fir and pine are common firewood, creosote tends to be sticky rather than flaky, which means we pay extra attention to the smoke shelf. If you burn regularly, an annual sweep keeps airflow consistent and reduces fire risk. Chimney Sweep in Five Corners gives the full breakdown, including what we do and what we charge.
Chimney Inspection in Five Corners
A Five Corners inspection is a documented look at the entire system, from crown to firebox. We use camera equipment so you can see exactly what we see, and you get a written report afterward. That matters here because exterior moisture issues often start small behind flashing and only become obvious once water has moved through multiple surfaces. We walk you through findings in plain language and tell you plainly when something can wait. Chimney Inspection in Five Corners explains the levels and what each one covers.
Chimney Repair in Five Corners
Most repair work we do in Five Corners involves flashing, crowns, and chimney cap replacements, though we also do flue relining when camera work shows the existing liner has failed. Every repair gets a written price before work starts and a 365-day guarantee afterward. If a covered repair fails within that year, we return at no charge. Chimney Repair in Five Corners goes into the materials we use, including HeatShield and Copperfield, and the repair process from start to finish.
