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 Anna, TX
A chimney sweep in Anna, TX typically costs between $189 and $289 for a standard cleaning, and most Anna homes can be serviced the same week we’re called. The work here runs different than it does closer to Dallas because much of Anna’s housing stock is newer construction mixed with older farmhouses, and the soil conditions in Collin County can shift foundations enough to affect chimney alignment over time. If you’re unsure whether you need a cleaning or an inspection, call (830) 251-4560 and we’ll tell you straight.
Why Anna Homes Are Different
Anna sits on the Blackland Prairie, and that clay-heavy soil expands and contracts with rain and drought. We see the result in chimneys all over Anna: hairline cracks in the exterior mortar where slight foundation movement has transferred up through the brick. It’s rarely dangerous on its own, but it’s a local condition our techs check for on every visit because those cracks let water in, and water is what turns a $250 sweep into a $2,500 repair down the road.
The newer subdivisions along FM 455 and around Anna High School were mostly built with manufactured chimney systems and prefab fireboxes, and those have a shorter service life than full masonry. A lot of homeowners don’t realize their fireplace is a factory-built unit until we point out the model plate. Older homes near downtown Anna and along County Road 286 often have true masonry chimneys, some with original clay flue liners that are now at the age where spalling is common. Both types need annual service, but the inspections look different. Hank Delano trains every tech to identify which system they’re standing in front of before opening a single tool bag.
Our Main Anna Services
Most Anna homeowners call us for one of two things: their fireplace hasn’t been cleaned in years, or they smelled something odd during the first burn of the season. Here’s how each job works in Anna.
Chimney Sweep in Anna
A standard Chimney Sweep in Anna removes creosote buildup from the flue liner, clears the smoke chamber and firebox, and checks the damper for proper operation. On Anna’s newer prefab units we also inspect the factory-chimney pipe joints because those can separate over time from the same soil movement that cracks exterior mortar. We’ll sweep every hearth in the home under one flat price, and the price is written down before we start.
Chimney Inspection in Anna
An Chimney Inspection in Anna is what we recommend for any home that’s changing hands, any fireplace that hasn’t been used in over a year, or any chimney that took a hit from the hailstorms this part of Collin County catches in spring. The inspection covers the flue, crown, cap, flashing, firebox, and damper, and you get a written report with photos of everything we find. If the chimney is safe to use, we say so plainly. If it isn’t, we show you the pictures and give you a written price for what needs doing.
Chimney Repair in Anna
Chimney Repair in Anna covers everything from cap replacement and crown resealing to full flue relining and masonry rebuilds at the crown or shoulder. Clay-heavy soil means Anna chimneys see more step cracking in exterior brick than homes in the sandy-soil towns to the east, so repointing is a repair we do often. Every repair from Flint Chimney Sweep carries a written guarantee for one full year. If a covered repair fails in that period, we come back and fix it at no charge. No renegotiation, no fine print.
