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 Deale, MD
Flint Chimney Sweep provides chimney cleaning, inspection, and repair in Deale, MD, with a written price before any work starts and a full-year guarantee on every repair. Homes here sit close to the Chesapeake Bay, which means damp coastal air, seasonal storm cycles, and wood-burning habits shaped by cold Annapolis-area winters. That combination puts Deale chimneys through more than the average Maryland flue. Call (830) 251-4560 for a straight answer and a documented quote.
Why Deale Homes Are Different
Deale sits on a peninsula between Rockhold Creek and the West River, so the air coming off the water carries moisture and salt. Over years, that rusts caps and dampers faster than you’d see inland, loosens mortar joints, and seeps into brick that already sees heavy freeze-thaw cycles each winter. Homes near Franklin Manor and along Deale Road tend to be older frame and brick builds with masonry chimneys that predate modern liner standards. In neighborhoods like Nutwell and Tracy’s Landing, wood stoves and older fireplaces are common, so creosote accumulation runs heavier than in gas-only homes. That does not mean every Deale chimney needs major work, but it does mean an inspection has to account for coastal moisture damage, not just soot. Hank Delano and our technicians see the same pattern every season: rust at the crown, spalling brick on the weather side, and flue interiors that look worse than they are until a camera gets inside and tells us the truth.
Our Main Deale Services
The two calls our Deale customers make most often are for annual sweep service and for inspections tied to home purchases or aging masonry. Here is what each involves locally, with links to the dedicated Deale pages where pricing and full details live.
Chimney Sweep in Deale
A standard Chimney Sweep in Deale runs $189 – $329 and removes the creosote and soot that build up from wood fires every winter. In Deale, damp coastal air lets creosote harden into a glazed layer faster than it does inland, so our technicians use rotary tools on most jobs rather than flat-wire brushes alone. The full sweep includes the firebox, smoke chamber, flue, damper, and cap access, and you get a written report on what we found and what can wait.
Chimney Inspection in Deale
A Chimney Inspection in Deale starts at $250 and uses a camera system to look at the flue interior from top to bottom. That matters here because salt air and freeze-thaw cycles cause cracks and spalling that are invisible from the hearth. If you are buying or selling a Deale home, the inspection report gives you documented condition evidence. We do not recommend repairs without camera footage you can see yourself.
Chimney Repair in Deale
Chimney Repair in Deale covers everything from $55 damper replacements to full flue relining at $1,450 – $2,500. Coastal moisture is the usual culprit behind spalled brick, rusted caps, and cracked crowns in this area. Every repair carries The Garrison Standard guarantee: one full year of written coverage, and if a covered repair fails inside that window, we return at no charge. Nothing happens until you have a written price in hand.
