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 Lansdale, PA
Chimney cleaning in Lansdale, PA runs into 100-year-old brick chimneys, coal-era flues, and winters that force a lot of wood through masonry that was never designed for modern stovepipe temperatures. This page is the Lansdale hub for Flint Chimney Sweep, part of the Garrison Partners family. The three things we do here: chimney sweeps, chimney inspections, and chimney repair. Each has its own Lansdale page, linked below. For a quote on any of them, call (830) 251-4560.
Why Lansdale Homes Are Different
Lansdale housing runs older and masonry-heavy compared to most Montgomery County boroughs. Blocks around Main Street, the Wedgewood section, and streets off Whites Road are full of houses built between 1900 and 1940, when coal was the primary fuel and chimneys were laid for occasional coal smoke, not daily wood fires. The difference matters. Coal flues are often unlined or lined with old terra cotta tiles that crack after years of freeze-thaw cycles. Add in Lansdale’s wet springs and single-digit January nights, and we see repeated pattern: liner tiles spalling, mortar joints opening, and smoke smells filtering into finished bedrooms during the first fire of the season. Hilly lots along Towamencin Avenue and Valley Forge Road also mean many chimneys sit at odd roof pitches, which changes how we stage ladders and how repair crews secure the ridge.
Lansdale Borough also enforces Pennsylvania’s Uniform Construction Code. A liner replacement or masonry rebuild that alters the flue cross-section typically needs a borough permit. We handle the paperwork and coordinate with the code office. It is not a barrier, just a process, and we tell homeowners upfront exactly what will be filed and when.
Our Main Lansdale Services
Most Lansdale homeowners call us for one of two things: an annual chimney sweep before burning season starts, or an inspection after a real estate transaction flags the flue. A third group calls when the inspector finds a problem. All three are covered below, each with its own dedicated Lansdale page.
Chimney Sweep in Lansdale
A sweep here means removing soot and creosote from the smoke shelf, the flue interior, and the firebox. In Lansdale’s older coal-converted fireplaces, we also brush out years of accumulated coal dust and bird debris that wood smoke then bakes onto the flue walls. The process is clean: drop cloths from the front door to the hearth, a HEPA vacuum running the whole time, and a written report of what came out. A standard sweep on a one-story flue runs $179 to $239. Homes with second-story flues or heavy glaze buildup run $249 to $329. Full details, including what to expect on the day, are on the Chimney Sweep in Lansdale page.
Chimney Inspection in Lansdale
Older Lansdale chimneys hide problems that a visual check from the hearth cannot catch. A Level 2 camera inspection sends a probe up the flue and records what the liner actually looks like: cracked tiles, separated joints, abandoned thimble holes from coal stoves, or a liner that was never installed in the first place. The camera feed is displayed as we record, so a homeowner watches the same footage we do and receives the still images in a written report. Inspections range from $199 for a Level 1 to $399 for a Level 2 with full camera documentation. The full scope and what each level includes is on the Chimney Inspection in Lansdale page.
Chimney Repair in Lansdale
Repair work in Lansdale commonly starts as a small problem that got left alone: a cracked crown letting water behind the brick, a rusted damper, or a liner with enough spalling that smoke is no longer drafting cleanly. We quote every repair in writing before work starts, and every repair carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise: if it fails within a year, we return and fix it at no charge. Materials are named on the quote: DuraFlex for relining, HeatShield for resurfacing, Olympia Chimney or Famco caps, Copperfield dampers. What gets used is specified by the job, not by margin. Read the full scope of what we repair and how pricing works on the Chimney Repair in Lansdale page.

You will always know the exact number before work starts, because we write it down and you approve it first. No one arrives at the door and changes it.
