Flint Chimney Sweep has been inspecting chimneys since 2002 as part of the Garrison Partners family of independently owned chimney service companies. Every inspection follows the same code: a written price before work starts, a camera where the job calls for it, and a photo report you can actually read. No guessing. No upsell you can’t verify with your own eyes.

Why Flint Chimney Sweep Is Crowley’s Preferred Chimney Inspection Company

Crowley homeowners call us because we put the scope in writing and back repairs with a 365-Day Done Right Promise. If a covered repair fails within a full year, we return at no charge. That guarantee is printed on every repair invoice, not implied in a handshake.

Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. You know exactly who’s walking through the door, and the phone is answered by a live person 24 hours a day. No voicemail trees. No waiting until Monday for a callback. Dispatch and scheduling are coordinated from our Dallas-Fort Worth office, and crews serve Crowley locally.

Hank Delano leads the team here, and the standard he holds is the same one every Garrison Partners location follows: The Garrison Standard. A documented price, a documented inspection, and a documented guarantee. That’s the whole deal.

When you book a Chimney Inspection with us in Crowley, you get a written report showing what we found, with photos, and a straight answer on what needs attention now versus what can safely wait. That last part matters. Not every crack is an emergency, and we’ll tell you when it isn’t.

Chimney Leak in Crowley

A chimney leak in Crowley homes is frequently misdiagnosed as a roof leak because the flashing and crown sit right at the roofline. Water gets in at the crown, runs down the flue, and shows up as a stain on the ceiling a few feet from the fireplace. The inspection that actually finds the entry point is the one that includes a water test at the crown and a close look at the flashing where the brick meets the shingles.

Flashing and Crown Diagnosis

Inspectors who skip a water-test at the roofline will tell you it’s a roof issue and send you to a roofer. That’s the wrong call more often than not. Our techs get on the roof, check the crown for hairline cracks and spalling, run a hose along the flashing lines, and watch where the water goes. The answer is documented with photos in your report.

What a Leak Repair Costs in Crowley

A crown reseal on a typical Crowley brick chimney runs $400 – $700. Flashing replacement runs $500 – $900 depending on how much of the roofline has to be opened. If the leak has gone on long enough to damage the flue liner, that’s a different job entirely, and we’ll show you the camera footage before we quote it.

Every leak repair we perform carries the full written guarantee for one year. If the leak comes back inside that window, we come back free. No argument, no second invoice.

Chimney Camera Inspection in Crowley

A chimney camera inspection in Crowley is what we recommend when a Level 1 visual check can’t see deep enough, or when there’s a known issue like a leak, a chimney fire, or a home sale. It pushes a high-definition camera up the full flue and shows you exactly what the inside walls look like, tile by tile. In Crowley’s freeze-thaw winters, that’s where problems hide.

What the Camera Shows

Creosote thickness and type, cracked clay tiles, gaps between flue sections, bird nests, rusted metal liners, and moisture staining all show up clearly on camera. The footage is yours in the inspection report, with timestamps and commentary from the tech. Nothing is recommended without video evidence you can watch yourself.

Real Estate Inspections

If you’re buying or selling a house in Crowley, a Level 2 camera inspection is the standard for real estate transactions. It covers the flue interior, the attic pass-through, and the exterior crown and cap. Sellers get a report that answers every question before the closing table. Buyers get proof the chimney isn’t hiding a four-figure liner replacement. A Level 2 inspection in Crowley runs $289 – $449.

Trusted Brands We Service in Crowley

We work with professional-grade chimney products every week in Crowley, and we stock common parts so you aren’t waiting on a shipped liner when the job is small. For relining and resurfacing, we install DuraFlex stainless liners and HeatShield resurfacing systems. For caps, dampers, and chase covers, we source Copperfield and Famco. These are trade-standard brands, specified by job, not by margin. If your existing cap came from one of these lines, we can match it. If it’s beyond repair, we’ll show you exactly what failed on camera and quote the replacement before any work begins.

Common Chimney Inspection Problems We See in Crowley Homes

• Freeze-thaw spalling on clay tile flues. Crowley’s winter temperature swings cause original clay tiles to chip and crack over time, even in homes where the fireplace gets used twice a year. A cracked tile is a carbon monoxide path into the house, full stop.
• Rusted or missing chimney caps on 1990s subdivisions. The builder-grade caps in neighborhoods off Crowley Road and near the high school are often rusted through or gone entirely, which lets rain and animals into the flue. A Level 1 inspection misses this if the tech doesn’t get on the roof.
• Third-degree creosote mistaken for regular soot. Homeowners call for a basic sweep, but a brush won’t touch tar glaze. The inspection catches this before you pay for a sweep that does nothing, which changes the scope and the price honestly.
• Mortar crown failure on older rural-edge properties. The homes along FM 1187 and the county roads east of town were built with clay tile and masonry crowns that crack after a few decades of Texas weather. Resealing costs less than redoing the chase, but only if it’s caught before water reaches the liner.

On a two-story brick home off Deer Creek Drive, our tech pulled the damper and ran a camera up the flue liner. The firebox looked clean, but the smoke chamber showed first-degree creosote flaking off the walls and a hairline crack in the clay tile just below the chimney crown. We swept the flue, documented the crack with photos in the report, and told the homeowner the crown reseal could wait until fall but the tile crack needed a HeatShield resurfacing quote before the next burn season. That’s the difference between a checklist inspection and one that gives you a plan you can act on.
