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 Brentwood, TN
Flint Chimney Sweep provides chimney sweeping, inspection, and repair in Brentwood, TN with written pricing delivered before any work begins and every repair backed by a 365-day guarantee. Brentwood homes are different from much of Middle Tennessee: the housing stock skews large, the lots are wooded, and many chimneys serve two or three fireplaces built during the 1980s and 1990s construction boom. That means older prefab systems, concealed flue runs, and creosote loading that climbs faster when a chimney pulls hard on a cold Williamson County night. Call (830) 251-4560 for a straight answer on pricing or to schedule a sweep.
Why Brentwood Homes Are Different
Brentwood sits on rolling, heavily treed terrain that runs from the Harpeth River valley up through subdivisions like Princeton Hills, Iroquois Estates, and Governors Club. Tree canopy means two things for a chimney: creosote that accumulates faster because the flue runs cooler and wetter in shade, and animal pressure. Squirrels and raccoons work those oak and hickory limbs like highways, and an uncapped flue in Brentwood gets found quickly. We regularly see nests built inside flues that homeowners only discover when smoke rolls back into a den in October.
Housing age adds another layer. Those liners crack at the joints from thermal cycling and acid attack, and a sweep alone will not fix that once it has started. The terrain also pushes some homes onto steep driveways, but that rarely changes the chimney work itself. What it does change is scheduling: we route Brentwood jobs in a single day trip and allow for the extra setup time those driveways sometimes demand.
Our Main Brentwood Services
Most Brentwood homeowners reach out about two things: an annual sweep they have let slip past a season or two, and a fireplace that is not drafting the way it used to. Each service below has its own Brentwood page with pricing, what the job includes, and the guarantee terms spelled out.
Chimney Sweep in Brentwood
A sweep in Brentwood removes creosote, soot, and any nesting material from the flue, smoke shelf, and firebox. Because of the tree canopy and the way these chimneys draw, we expect heavier glaze buildup on the upper third of the flue and check the cap assembly carefully before we leave. Written price first, then the work, then a one-year guarantee on the job. Full details are on the Chimney Sweep in Brentwood page.
Chimney Inspection in Brentwood
Most Brentwood inspections are Level 2 real-estate inspections or annual checks on chimneys that feed a wood-burning fireplace and a gas log set. We run a camera up the flue and document everything, then hand you a written report with photos so you can see exactly what we saw. If the flue is clean, we say so plainly and tell you it can wait. If not, you will have the images in hand. Full details are on the Chimney Inspection in Brentwood page.
Chimney Repair in Brentwood
Repairs in Brentwood most often involve cracked flue liners, water-damaged crowns, or caps that have been knocked loose by limbs or wildlife. We specify materials by job: DuraFlex for relining, HeatShield or Gelco for resurfacing, and Copperfield or Famco for caps and chase covers. Every repair carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing, and if a covered repair fails within the year we return and correct it at no charge. Full details are on the Chimney Repair in Brentwood page.

What pushes a Brentwood quote toward the top of those ranges is access and animal damage: steep driveways that add setup time, caps shredded by a raccoon, or a flue that has gone so long between sweeps that glaze removal becomes a two-stage job. Regardless of where the number lands, you get a written price before the first tool comes off the truck, and the price you approve is the price you pay.

FAQs About Chimney Company in Brentwood
Most Brentwood sweeps and inspections are scheduled within 3 to 5 business days, and we protect the arrival window we give you. If a driveway or backyard access point looks tight on satellite view, we call ahead to confirm where the truck can set up. Call (830) 251-4560 and we will give you a specific day, not a vague range.
For standard sweeps and inspections, no. For external repairs like caps, crowns, or chase covers, some Brentwood HOAs want exterior work approved first, and we are happy to provide the written scope and material spec your association asks for. The chimney is yours; the exterior look belongs to the neighborhood, and we have handled enough Brentwood HOAs to know the difference.
Yes. Many Brentwood homes have a main-floor wood fireplace and a basement or upstairs gas fireplace on separate flues, sometimes sharing a chase. We price each flue separately and give you one line item per flue on the written quote, so there is no bundled number you have to reverse-engineer after the fact.
