We’re Flint Chimney Sweep, part of the Garrison Partners family founded in 2002, and our Chimney Inspection team runs cameras into flues all over Palm Beach County. What you get here is a straight answer: what is wrong, what it costs to fix, and whether it can wait. No pressure, no mystery pricing. The number we quote before booking is the number on your invoice.

Lantana’s coastal air does things to chimneys that inland towns never see. Mortar joints crumble faster. Dampers seize. Caps rust through. A house that has never burned a fire can still have a chimney that leaks carbon monoxide into the living room. We inspect accordingly.

Key Takeaways:

• Lantana pricing is flat and written before booking: Level 1 runs $149 – $199, Level 2 runs $249 – $349, Level 3 is quoted after initial findings.
• Every inspection includes a camera pass and a photo report you keep.
• We carry parts and materials for the chimneys Lantana actually has: older clay-tile flues, rusted dampers, spalled brick.
• Calls are answered by a live person around the clock. Not a phone tree.

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

Lantana homeowners keep calling us back because we explain what the camera sees before we ever quote a repair. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and they show up inside the window we give. You know who is walking through the door. That matters in a town where word travels fast and a bad chimney crew gets remembered longer than a good one.

We operate under The Garrison Standard, the same code every Garrison Partners location follows since 2002. Every inspection gets a written price before work starts. Every repair carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise: if a covered repair fails within one full year, a second visit is free. No charge, no argument. We put that in writing because we intend to honor it.

Our dispatch coordinates from the South FL office in Miami, and Lantana crews run routes here weekly. Call (830) 251-4560 and you will get a live person, not a callback form.

Nothing about our process is secret. You get the camera footage explained to you, a photo report you can hold in your hand, and a written quote that does not move. Hank Delano stands behind every inspection we run in Lantana.

Chimney Fire in Lantana

Chimney fire prevention is the reason we push Lantana homeowners toward a real Level 2 inspection instead of a basic brush-out. In Lantana’s older ranch homes from the 1950s through the 1970s, we regularly find unlined or cracked clay-tile flues that would not survive a chimney fire. A brush removes loose creosote. It does not tell you whether your flue liner has gaps that let flame reach the framing.

What a Lantana Chimney Fire Inspection Covers

We inspect the smoke chamber, firebox corners, and flue from top to bottom with a camera. First-degree creosote hides in the smoke chamber and firebox corners where a brush cannot reach it. A camera shows us whether that creosote has turned to third-degree glaze, which is a fuel bed waiting for heat. The fix for glazed creosote is not a brush. It is removal with the right chemistry and sometimes a liner.

When a Lantana Homeowner Needs a Chimney Fire Inspection

If you have burned more than a cord of wood since the last inspection, you need one. If you hear a rumble or smell smoke when the fireplace is not lit, you need one. If your home changed hands and no one can produce an inspection from the last two years, you need one. A basic Level 1 inspection in Lantana runs $149 to $199. The Level 2 runs $249 to $349 and includes the camera pass and photo report.

Level 2 Chimney Inspection in Lantana

A Level 2 Chimney Inspection in Lantana is what we recommend for any home within half a mile of the Intracoastal, any home that changed ownership, and any chimney that has not been looked at in five years. Lantana’s salt air attacks mortar joints and rusts dampers even on chimneys that never burn. A Level 2 inspection runs $249 to $349 here and includes the full camera pass with a photo report.

What the Camera Actually Sees

We photograph the flue from firebox to cap. In Lantana we have photographed cracked clay tiles, spalled brick, seized dampers, and nests so packed the flue could not draft. Nothing is recommended without camera evidence you can see. If your chimney needs nothing, we tell you that plainly and you have the photos to prove it.

Who Needs a Level 2 in Lantana

Real estate transactions require one in this market. So does any chimney that has survived a chimney fire, been struck by lightning, or sat unused for years. For a house that has not burned in a decade, the mortar may have rotted from humidity alone. The Level 2 inspection is the only way to know.

Trusted Brands We Service in Lantana

We work with materials Lantana homeowners can verify independently: HeatShield for resurfacing cracked flue tiles without tearing down brick, Gelco for chimney caps and chase covers that stand up to coastal salt, and Olympia Chimney for dampers and liners. When a Lantana chimney needs a stainless liner, we price it with the brand named on the quote. You can look up the product and see exactly what you are buying. We stock common Lantana sizes because so many of these older ranch homes use the same flue dimensions. That means less waiting when the camera finds something.

Common Chimney Inspection Problems We See in Lantana Homes

• Seized dampers from salt air. Lantana’s coastal humidity rusts damper hardware, and a frozen-open damper lets conditioned air, rain, and pests into the flue year-round. We check damper operation on every inspection and note it in the photo report.
• Spalling brick and mortar decay. Salt air dissolves the binders in mortar faster than inland climates. Brick faces flake off, water gets in, and the chimney starts to lean. This shows up on chimneys that have never burned a fire.
• Cracked clay tile liners. The 1950s through 1970s ranch homes off Hypoluxo Road and along Federal Highway often have original clay tile flues. Camera inspection shows hairline cracks that open over time, and the fix before a fire is much cheaper than the fix after one.
• First-degree creosote hiding in firebox corners. A brush pass misses what is packed into the corners of the firebox and smoke chamber. Over time it converts to third-degree glaze, which is fuel. Only a camera sees it before it becomes a problem.
