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.

Call (830) 251-4560 and you’ll get a live person who can quote the job before anything goes on the calendar.
Why Flint Chimney Sweep Is Greenacres’s Preferred Chimney Sweep Company
Homeowners in Greenacres keep calling us back for one reason: we put the price in writing before a single tool comes off the truck. That’s The Garrison Standard, the same code every Garrison Partners location follows. No phone quote that changes at the door. No surprise liner repair “discovered” after the sweep starts. The number you approve is the number on the invoice, every time.
Every technician who arrives at a Greenacres home is background-checked and uniformed, so you know exactly who’s walking through the door. Our crew works with professional-grade chimney materials – DuraFlex liners, Gelco factory-built components, HeatShield resurfacing systems – chosen for the job, not for our margin. And every repair we make carries a written 365-Day Done Right Promise. If a covered repair fails within a full year, we come back and fix it at no charge. No argument, no second invoice.
We’re part of the Garrison Partners family, which has been in business since 2002. Dispatch and scheduling for Greenacres are coordinated from our Miami office, but the crews who serve Greenacres work locally and know the housing stock here. You won’t get a trainee who’s never seen a Palm Beach County chase top.
Chimney Services in Greenacres
Chimney Services in Greenacres means a lot more than running a brush up the flue. Most homes here have factory-built, vented fireplaces – Gelco, Olympia, and similar units – that sit unused for nine or ten months of the year. The real work in this climate is checking what happened while the fireplace sat idle. A proper service call includes a full sweep of the flue, a Level 1 inspection of the firebox, damper, and chimney crown, and a camera inspection of the liner. You get a photo report so you can see what we saw. A standard chimney sweep in Greenacres runs $189 – $289, and a Level 2 inspection (which adds attic and crawlspace checks) typically runs $349 – $449.
Camera Inspection and Photo Report
Every Greenacres sweep includes a camera run up the flue. The humid air here rusts factory-built liners from the inside, and you’d never see it without the camera. We send you photos of the actual flue, not a stock image, so you can see rust, cracks, or animal nests before deciding on any repair.
Creosote and Soot Removal
Even in Greenacres, where fireplaces burn only a few times a year, soot and creosote build up. But the bigger risk is what moves in when the fire doesn’t: birds, squirrels, and debris. We remove all of it and check the draft so carbon monoxide doesn’t back up into the living room.

Chimney Sweep Certified in Greenacres
Chimney Sweep Certified in Greenacres means the person on your roof has the training to spot what a quick brush-and-go company misses. In this climate, the critical skill is recognizing a rusted or separated flue liner on a Gelco or Olympia factory-built unit – a failure mode we see regularly in homes along Melaleuca Lane and the neighborhoods west of Jog Road. A certified sweep also knows how to identify third-degree creosote, which is the glazed, hardened kind that a standard brush won’t remove. If we find it, we’ll tell you straight whether it needs chemical treatment or a liner replacement. You’ll get a written quote before any of that work starts.
Factory-Built Fireplace Sweeps
Factory-built fireplaces need a different approach than masonry. The flue is metal, the chase top is sheet metal, and the clearances are tighter. Our Greenacres crews stock common Gelco and Olympia components, which speeds up repairs and keeps you from waiting on a part that has to ship from out of state.
Level 1 and Level 2 Inspections
A Level 1 inspection is included with every sweep. A Level 2 inspection is the right call if you’ve just bought a Greenacres home, if you haven’t used the fireplace in two or more seasons, or if you’re selling and the buyer’s inspector flagged the chimney. It covers everything a Level 1 does plus the accessible attic and crawlspace areas around the flue.
Trusted Brands We Service in Greenacres
Greenacres homes run on factory-built systems more than masonry, so we keep local inventory of parts for Gelco, Olympia Chimney, and Famco units. That means when a chase top is rusted through or a flue section has separated, we’re not waiting on a warehouse in another state. We also install Copperfield and DuraFlex liners when a factory-built system needs a flue relining. The brand gets specified by what the camera inspection shows, not by what’s easiest to stock. You can look up any of these manufacturers independently and see they’re trusted in the trade.
Common Chimney Sweep Problems We See in Greenacres Homes
- Rusted flue liners on factory-built units. Greenacres humidity works on metal flues year-round, even when the fireplace never burns. By the time draft is affected, the liner often has pinhole rust or full separation.
- Failed chase tops and flashing. The metal chase top that caps a factory-built chimney is a common leak point in Palm Beach County storms. Water gets in, rusts the liner from above, and stains the ceiling around the chase.
- Animal nests and debris between burns. A fireplace that sits unused from March to November is an open invitation. We’ve pulled nesting material, palm fronds, and once a full squirrel nest from flues in the River Bridge area.
- Third-degree creosote glazing. It’s less common here than in cold climates, but when a Greenacres homeowner burns unseasoned wood or smolders fires with the damper mostly closed, glazed creosote forms. A standard brush won’t touch it.

FAQs About Chimney Sweep in Greenacres
Once a year is still the right interval for Greenacres homes, not because of heavy creosote but because the humidity rusts liners and animals nest in unused flues. A camera inspection during the annual sweep catches those problems before they push carbon monoxide back into the house. Call (830) 251-4560 to book.
A Level 1 inspection covers the firebox, damper, and the accessible parts of the chimney and is included with every sweep. A Level 2 adds the attic and crawlspace areas and is the right call after a home purchase, a chimney fire, or two or more seasons of no use. In Greenacres, if you’ve never had the fireplace inspected since buying the house, get the Level 2.
Third-degree creosote is the glazed, hardened kind that a standard brush won’t remove. In some cases chemical treatment can break it down, but if the liner is also rusted – common on factory-built Greenacres units – replacement is the only safe option. We’ll show you the camera footage and give you a written quote either way before any work starts.
No. The camera inspection and photo report are included in the sweep price, which runs $189 – $289 in Greenacres. You see exactly what we see, and you keep the photos for your records. That’s part of The Garrison Standard.
Usually not. The musty smell and smoke-back in Greenacres homes points to a draft restriction – often a rusted flue liner, a clogged nest, or a closed-off chase top. The camera inspection during the sweep will show the exact cause, and you’ll have a written fix-it quote the same day. Call (830) 251-4560.
