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 Broomall, PA
Chimney work in Broomall runs into the same reality on nearly every block: homes built between the 1950s and 1970s, many with original masonry and flue liners now six or seven decades old. The climate here doesn’t help. Freeze-thaw cycles through Delaware County winters, followed by humid summers, work on mortar joints year after year. Flint Chimney Sweep handles chimney cleaning, inspection, and repair across Broomall with written pricing delivered before any work starts and a 365-Day Done Right Promise on every repair. Call (830) 251-4560 and a live person answers, any hour.
Why Broomall Homes Are Different
Broomall’s housing stock is the dominant factor in what we see on the roof. Most of the township’s single-family homes went up during the post-war building boom, which means terracotta flue liners, brick exteriors, and chimneys that were built to code in 1962, not 2024. Those liners crack. When they do, heat and combustion gases reach the surrounding masonry, and that’s where Broomall jobs become repair jobs rather than simple cleanings.
The terrain adds a second layer. Broomall sits across rolling hills, and many chimneys on Lawrence Road, West Chester Pike, and the neighborhoods around Marple Newtown High School are exposed to wind from multiple directions. Wind exposure affects draft, and draft problems are often misdiagnosed as something else entirely. We also work a lot of split-levels and ranches here, where the chimney runs through the center of the house rather than up an exterior wall. That means interior chase access, tighter clearances, and more care needed during a sweep to keep the house clean.
Marple Township permits apply to structural chimney work. A standard sweep or inspection doesn’t require one, but a rebuild or significant liner replacement may. We spell that out in the written scope before any work begins, so you’re never surprised by a township requirement mid-project.
Our Main Broomall Services
Broomall homeowners call us most about two things: the annual cleaning they know they’re overdue for, and the inspection that follows either a real estate transaction or a strange smell in the living room. Repairs follow from what those two uncover. Each service has its own page with full Broomall-specific detail.
Chimney Sweep in Broomall
The typical Broomall sweep removes creosote buildup, clears nests and debris, and leaves the firebox and smoke chamber clean enough to inspect properly. Given the age of most flues here, we’re also checking for what the brush kicks loose: spalling brick, cracked liner sections, or a dam that hasn’t seated right in years. We use professional-grade equipment and run drop cloths from the hearth to the front door. That work is covered in detail on our Chimney Sweep in Broomall page, including what a standard sweep costs here.
Chimney Inspection in Broomall
A camera inspection in Broomall usually happens for one of three reasons: a home sale, a chimney fire that got put out before it spread, or water stains on the ceiling near the chase. We run a camera the full length of the flue and give you the still photos. You see what we see, and that’s the point. Nothing gets recommended on someone’s say-so. The full scope of what we look for, and the difference between a Level 1 and Level 2 inspection, is on our Chimney Inspection in Broomall page.
Chimney Repair in Broomall
Repairs in Broomall skew toward three things: crown repair, flue relining, and tuckpointing. The crown is the concrete cap at the top, and on a 1960s chimney it’s usually cracked or missing sections entirely. We rebuild crowns, install stainless liners from brands like DuraFlex and Olympia Chimney, and repoint brickwork that’s lost its mortar to decades of freeze-thaw. Every repair carries a written one-year guarantee. If it fails inside that year, we return free. Details and pricing are on our Chimney Repair in Broomall page.

Two things push Broomall prices toward the middle or upper end of those ranges. First, the age of the chimney: a 60-year-old flue rarely cleans in the same time a 15-year-old one does. Second, roof pitch and access. Some Broomall roof lines are steep enough that we set up additional safety equipment, and that’s reflected in the written estimate before any work begins.
Every price above is a range, not a quote. Your written price comes after we look at the chimney, and it’s the number you approve. It does not move at the door.
