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 Ojus, FL
Flint Chimney Sweep handles chimney cleaning, inspection, and repair for Ojus homeowners under one written guarantee: a price on paper before the work starts, and any repair backed for a full year. Ojus sits just south of the Broward-Miami-Dade line, where humid, salty air and summer thunderstorms push moisture into masonry faster than most homeowners expect. That means chimneys here fail quietly, from the inside out. Call (830) 251-4560 and we’ll tell you what we’re looking at before a single tool comes off the truck.
Why Ojus Homes Are Different
The air here carries moisture and salt from the Atlantic, and that combination works its way into brick and mortar joints year-round. During the rainy season, which runs May through October, water intrusion accelerates spalling, which is the flaking and crumbling of brick faces caused by trapped moisture expanding in the sun.
Most Ojus chimneys are not used for daily heating the way a northern chimney would be. They get lit occasionally in December and January, and the rest of the year they simply sit in the humidity. A chimney that is idle for eleven months still collects debris, nests, and creosote from the rare fire. We also see more rust on dampers and metal flashing in Ojus than homeowners expect, simply because the air never lets anything dry completely. Neighborhoods along West Dixie Highway and the streets running east toward the Intracoastal see the heaviest salt exposure, and those homes tend to need flashing and crown attention more often.
Our Main Ojus Services
Most Ojus households call us first for the two jobs that affect every wood-burning fireplace. The three services below each have a dedicated Ojus page with pricing, timelines, and a more detailed look at what the work involves.
Chimney Sweep in Ojus
A standard Chimney Sweep in Ojus removes the soot, creosote, and any nests or debris sitting inside the flue, so the fireplace actually draws correctly and doesn’t fill the living room with smoke on the first cold night of the year. In Ojus, we treat this as an annual or every-other-year job depending on how often you light a fire, and we photograph everything we remove. The sweep takes about an hour for an open fireplace in a typical Ojus ranch, and we leave the interior cleaner than we found it.
Chimney Inspection in Ojus
An Chimney Inspection in Ojus from Flint means we run a camera the full length of the flue and show you the images. What we look for in Ojus more than anywhere else is hidden moisture damage, rusted dampers, cracked flue tiles, and mortar joints that have lost their bond in the humid air. A Level 1 inspection is for a chimney that hasn’t changed since its last service. Most Ojus homes that have never been inspected need a Level 2, which includes the camera run and attic and roof access.
Chimney Repair in Ojus
When the camera finds a problem, Chimney Repair in Ojus covers everything from a new damper or flashing up to a full flue relining or partial rebuild of the crown and brickwork. Every repair goes the same way: a written quote before work begins, professional-grade parts like HeatShield or Olympia Chimney specified by name, and a one-year written guarantee on the completed repair. If a covered repair fails within 365 days, we return and fix it at no charge. No argument, no reinspection fee.

FAQs About Chimney Company in Ojus
Most Ojus calls are scheduled within a few days to a week, depending on the season and whether you need a sweep, an inspection, or a repair. Pre-winter is the busiest stretch, so calling in the fall is the smartest move before the first cold front hits.
Standard sweeps and inspections don’t require permits. Larger repairs, like a partial rebuild or a full flue relining, may need a permit depending on the scope, and we’ll tell you if that applies before anything is scheduled. The written quote accounts for it.
Every repair Flint Chimney Sweep performs in Ojus carries a written guarantee good for one full year from the service date. If a covered repair fails during that period, we return and fix it at no charge. That guarantee is on paper, not a verbal promise, and it’s the standard for every Ojus job.
If you live in Ojus and want a real number on paper before any work starts, call Flint Chimney Sweep at (830) 251-4560. Hank Delano leads our team, and he will make sure you know exactly what you’re paying for and exactly what happens if something goes wrong. That’s how every Ojus call gets handled.
