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 Belmont, CA
Flint Chimney Sweep handles chimney cleaning, inspection, and repair for homes across Belmont. Most of the chimneys we work on here sit on hillside lots, which means roof access is rarely a straight shot and flashing takes more weather than a flat Peninsula lot ever would. A standard chimney sweep in Belmont typically runs $189 to $339, and every job gets a written price before we start. Call (830) 251-4560 and a live person answers, day or night.
Why Belmont Homes Are Different
Belmont’s housing stock runs older than people expect. A lot of what we service in the Belmont Hills, Hallmark, and Carlmont neighborhoods was built between the 1950s and 1980s, often with masonry fireplaces that have been burning for forty or fifty years without a liner replacement. Prefab fireplaces in the 1990s-era homes along Ralston Avenue are now hitting the age where panels crack and joints fail.
The hills are the other half of the story. Belmont sits on the east slope of the Santa Cruz Mountains, and the grades change how we set ladders, stage materials, and route our crews. Fog off the bay works its way into canyons and keeps exterior masonry damp through the summer, which accelerates spalling on older brick. We stock replacement chase covers and flashing sized for work typical of the Carlmont and Cipriani areas. Squirrels are common enough in Belmont fireplaces that we check every flue for nesting material before we ever put a brush up.
Our Main Belmont Services
Most Belmont homeowners call us for one of two things: a routine sweep, or an inspection that came back flagged from a home sale. Each service has its own Belmont page with pricing and details.
Chimney Sweep in Belmont
A proper sweep removes creosote and soot from the flue liner and the smoke chamber above the firebox. In Belmont, we also clear maple leaves, squirrel nesting, and cobwebs that gather in chimneys over the summer. The slope of your roof affects ladder setup and sometimes means we need a second person on the roof, which we build into the price before any work begins. Every sweep includes a camera review of the flue so you see the result. Get the full breakdown on our Chimney Sweep in Belmont page.
Chimney Inspection in Belmont
Most inspections in Belmont are for real estate transactions, and the standard is a Level 2 inspection with a camera run through the flue. Hillside homes here age differently than flatland houses; we’ve seen cracked flue tiles on a Belmont home that had fewer than twenty fires. The Chimney Inspection in Belmont page explains what each level covers and what a camera inspection shows.
Chimney Repair in Belmont
Repairs in Belmont split between water-driven masonry damage and internal flue work. Missing chimney caps are the most common problem, followed by cracked crown mortar and rusted chase covers on prefab units. Repair pricing is set before any work starts and carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. Details, including what a repair does and does not cover, are on the Chimney Repair in Belmont page.
