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 Cloverdale, CA
Flint Chimney Sweep handles chimney cleaning, inspection, and repair in Cloverdale, CA with written pricing before any work starts and a one-year guarantee on every repair. Most Cloverdale homes sit in the northern reach of Sonoma County, where wet winters and summer wildfire season both put real strain on chimneys and liners. If you need a Cloverdale chimney company that shows up when promised and puts the scope in writing, call (830) 251-4560.
Why Cloverdale Homes Are Different
Cloverdale is the northernmost city in Sonoma County, and its housing stock runs older than what you’ll find in Windsor or Healdsburg. A lot of the chimneys we work on here are attached to homes built between the 1940s and 1980s, which means clay tile liners that have absorbed decades of creosote and thermal cycling. Those liners crack in ways that newer stainless systems don’t.
The climate adds another layer. Cloverdale gets real rain from November through March, and wet conditions push moisture into any hairline crack in a crown or mortar joint. Then summer arrives hot and dry, and that same chimney has to stand up to fire season. We see more spalling brick and more rusted dampers in Cloverdale than in coastal towns like Guerneville, because the temperature swing is wider and the summer heat is more direct. Homes in the hills east of town, off River Road and up toward the ridges, catch more wind and more debris in the flue.
Permitting in Cloverdale goes through Sonoma County for anything structural, but routine sweeps and inspections don’t trigger permit requirements. If a repair crosses into structural territory, we’ll tell you plainly and document it in writing before any work is ordered.
Our Main Cloverdale Services
Most Cloverdale homeowners call us first about one of three things: a dirty flue, a home purchase inspection, or a repair quote after their last sweep turned up something that needs attention. Each service has its own page with local pricing and specifics.
Chimney Sweep in Cloverdale
A standard chimney sweep in Cloverdale removes creosote and soot from the flue, smoke chamber, damper, and firebox. Homes here burn oak and madrone, which build creosote faster than softwoods, and that means we often find more glaze than expected on first visits. We run brushes sized to your flue, keep the work area covered, and leave nothing behind but a clean chimney and a written condition report. Chimney Sweep in Cloverdale
Chimney Inspection in Cloverdale
A chimney inspection in Cloverdale involves a camera run through the flue so you can see exactly what we see. Older Cloverdale homes frequently show cracked clay tiles, failed mortar joints, or rusted dampers during inspection. We document everything with photos, deliver a written report, and never recommend a repair we can’t show you on screen. Chimney Inspection in Cloverdale
Chimney Repair in Cloverdale
When a Cloverdale chimney needs work, the scope depends on what the camera shows: a flue relining (replacing the inner liner that channels smoke safely out of the house), crown repair, tuckpointing, or a damper replacement. Every repair gets a written price before work starts and a 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If a covered repair fails within a year, we return at no charge. Chimney Repair in Cloverdale

| Level 1 chimney inspection | $150 – $250 |

Cloverdale pricing moves with two things: the condition of the flue and roof access. Two-story homes and steep hillside lots add time, and glazed creosote on old clay liners takes longer to remove than the standard sweep. Whatever the number, you get it in writing before any tool comes off the truck.
