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 Boyes Hot Springs, CA
Flint Chimney Sweep handles chimney cleaning, inspection, and repair in Boyes Hot Springs with written pricing before any tool comes off the truck. Homes here run older, with fireplaces that have seen decades of Sonoma Valley use, and the seasonal burn rhythm means most work concentrates in late fall. Call (830) 251-4560 to book a sweep or inspection on a day that fits your schedule.
Why Boyes Hot Springs Homes Are Different
Boyes Hot Springs sits low in the Sonoma Valley, where cool marine air drifts in from the coast and can push fireplace smoke back down the flue on still mornings. Chimneys here take a beating from three directions: wet winters that work moisture into brick and mortar, dry summers that bake the clay tile liners, and regular use during the long shoulder season when nights stay cool. Much of the housing stock along Sonoma Highway and Boyes Boulevard dates from the 1960s through the 1980s, which means a lot of chimneys with original clay liners that were never inspected after the 2017 and 2019 fire seasons pushed new safety awareness across the region. We also see a meaningful number of wood stoves and freestanding fireplaces in the newer builds northeast of the springs toward Fetters Hot Springs. The work here tends to involve more creosote removal than urban jobs, because oak and madrone are the default firewood, and both burn hotter and dirtier than the softwoods common in coastal towns.
Our Main Boyes Hot Springs Services
Three services cover most of what homeowners in Boyes Hot Springs need, and each has its own page with full pricing and local detail.
Chimney Sweep in Boyes Hot Springs
A sweep in Boyes Hot Springs removes creosote and soot buildup before it becomes a fire or draft problem. We run brushes and HEPA filtration suited to older flues and tight clearances, which matter in the compact homes clustered around the springs. If you burn oak or madrone, you’ll want a sweep every year. Full details and pricing are on our Chimney Sweep in Boyes Hot Springs page.
Chimney Inspection in Boyes Hot Springs
An inspection tells us whether your flue is safe to burn before the season starts. We use camera equipment to look for cracked tiles, failed mortar joints, or moisture intrusion around the crown. After the fire seasons this valley has been through, many Boyes Hot Springs homeowners want a paper trail on chimney condition. Camera findings are documented and shown to you. Our Chimney Inspection in Boyes Hot Springs page covers what each inspection level includes.
Chimney Repair in Boyes Hot Springs
Repair work in Boyes Hot Springs ranges from crown sealing to full flue relining. Older clay liners here are prone to cracking from the wet-dry cycle, and we often replace them with stainless steel systems. Every repair we quote carries a written one-year guarantee, with no charge for a return visit if it fails. Details on repair scope and materials are on the Chimney Repair in Boyes Hot Springs page.
