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

Spokane homeowners call us because we put everything in writing before work starts. That’s the Garrison Standard, the same code every Garrison Partners location follows, and it applies to every inspection we run in Spokane. You’ll know the price, the scope, and what the camera showed before you decide anything.

We’ve been operating since 2002 as part of the Garrison Partners family of independently owned chimney service companies. Led by Hank Delano, our crews are background-checked and uniformed, so you know exactly who’s walking through your front door. Our Chimney Inspection team has run hundreds of camera scans in Spokane homes, and we understand how the dry, windy climate here accelerates crown cracking and creosote buildup differently than the wetter cities west of the Cascades.

When you book a Chimney Inspection in Spokane with us, you get a written report with photos, a straight answer on what needs attention now versus what can wait, and a full-year guarantee on any repair we perform. No vague assurances. Just documented facts and a price you approved before we started.

Level 2 Chimney Inspection in Spokane

A Level 2 Chimney Inspection in Spokane is the thorough camera-based examination most homeowners need when they’re buying a house, changing fuel type, experiencing draft problems, or haven’t used the fireplace in years. In Spokane, this inspection typically runs $289 – $449 and includes a video scan of the full flue interior, a visual check of the firebox and smoke chamber, and a written photo report delivered after the job.

What the camera actually sees

We run a camera up the flue liner and capture video of the entire interior surface. That scan shows us things no visual inspection can: hairline cracks in clay tile liners, first-degree creosote flaking behind the damper, and gaps where freeze-thaw cycles in the Spokane basin have opened mortar joints. We document every finding with photos in the report so you can see exactly what we saw.

When a Spokane homeowner needs it

If you’ve just bought a house on the South Hill or in Shadle, you likely need a Level 2 before your first burn. Sellers sometimes skip them, and a camera scan catches issues a basic look misses. We also recommend a Level 2 if you smell smoke inside the house, notice draft problems, or have recently switched from gas back to wood.

Chimney Leak in Spokane

A chimney leak in Spokane is most often caused by freeze-thaw cycles opening hairline cracks in the crown or mortar joints, letting water seep into the masonry long before you see staining on the ceiling. In our experience across Spokane, a proper leak investigation with camera inspection and crown assessment runs $289 – $449, and the repair cost depends on what the camera finds.

How we trace the source

We don’t guess. We inspect the crown, flashing, and flue liner, then run a camera up the chimney to document exactly where water is entering. At an older South Hill home near Manito Park, our tech pulled the firebox door and found the damper rusted half-open, sending draft backwards into the room, a carbon monoxide setup nobody had noticed. We ran a Level 2 inspection with a camera up the flue liner, found first-degree creosote and a cracked crown mortar joint, documented it with photos in the report, and recommended a crown repair before winter. No scare-selling, just a written report and a price we had agreed before we booked.

What the fix actually costs

A cracked crown repair in Spokane typically runs $450 – $900 depending on the crown size and whether we need to rebuild flashing. If the leak has compromised the flue liner, a HeatShield resurfacing or DuraFlex relining may be needed, and we’ll show you the camera footage before we recommend anything. You’ll get a written price for the full scope before any repair work begins.

Trusted Brands We Service in Spokane

We work with professional-grade chimney materials from Olympia Chimney, Famco, Copperfield, and DuraFlex, and we specify what your job needs based on the inspection findings, not on margin. If your Spokane home needs a new cap, crown repair materials, or a stainless relining system, we can source the correct parts quickly and install them under a written guarantee. We stock common components for faster turnaround on Spokane jobs, so you’re not waiting on a shipment from out of state before your chimney is safe to burn again.

Common Chimney Inspection Problems We See in Spokane Homes

• Freeze-thaw crown cracking. Spokane sits in a dry, windy basin where freeze-thaw and blowing grit pit masonry crowns and mortar joints faster than in wetter, milder cities to the west. Our inspections here pay outsized attention to the firebox, smoke chamber, and chimney crown before we ever touch a brush.
• Dry, flaking creosote. The same dry climate makes first-degree creosote flake and crumble more readily than the glazed deposits found in damp coastal markets. Wood stoves and inserts left damp or seasoned poorly in Spokane’s dry air build first-degree creosote that flakes off the smoke chamber and gets misread as “no cleaning needed” while third-degree glaze hides underneath.
• Debris and nests behind missing caps. Dry, windy conditions pull debris, grit, and animal nests past a missing or loose chimney cap, blocking draft and masking a flue liner issue until the first cold snap. We check cap condition on every inspection.
• Rusted dampers and draft problems. Older Spokane homes, particularly those built before 1960 in neighborhoods like Manito and Browne’s Addition, often have dampers rusted partially open or stuck. That sends draft backwards into the room and can create a carbon monoxide hazard. A camera scan shows us what’s happening behind the firebox door.
