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 Fontana, CA
Flint Chimney Sweep handles chimney cleaning, inspection, and repair in Fontana under one written guarantee: if it’s not done right, we make it right, for a full year. Fontana jobs differ from neighboring Inland Empire cities because of the housing mix here, from 1950s and 60s ranch homes near the 10 freeway to newer builds climbing toward the Jurupa Hills. A standard chimney sweep in Fontana typically runs $189 to $329, and you’ll know your exact price before any work starts. Call (830) 251-4560 to book.
Why Fontana Homes Are Different
Two things shape chimney work in Fontana more than anything: wind and the age of the housing stock. Fontana sits where the Santa Ana winds pick up speed coming through the Cajon Pass, and those winds push harder on chimney caps, chase tops, and masonry than most homeowners expect. We regularly see cap and crown damage from wind-driven debris in neighborhoods like Southridge, West End, and the older blocks north of Foothill Boulevard. A loose cap that rattles for a season becomes a water entry point the next.
The older homes, especially the post-war ranches across central Fontana, were built with clay tile liners that are now 50 to 70 years old. Those liners crack in ways that are cheap to confirm and expensive to ignore. Newer construction around Sierra Lakes and the foothills tends to have prefab fireplaces, which need a different inspection approach and different repair parts. Homes in HOA-governed communities such as Sierra Lakes and some North Fontana developments may also require basic documentation before exterior chimney work proceeds. We handle that with a written quote you can pass along.
Our Main Fontana Services
The two services Fontana homeowners call about most are chimney sweeps before burning season and chimney inspections after buying a home. Here’s how those fit together, plus the repair work that sometimes follows.
Chimney Sweep in Fontana
A Chimney Sweep in Fontana removes built-up creosote, soot, and debris from the flue so your fireplace vents correctly and burns without sending smoke back into the room. Fontana homes used heavily through the fall and winter can develop creosote faster than the homeowner realizes, especially when burning wood that hasn’t fully seasoned. We show you what came out of your flue before we leave. A standard sweep in Fontana runs $189 to $329, depending on flue size and how much buildup has accumulated.
Chimney Inspection in Fontana
A Chimney Inspection in Fontana is a documented walkthrough of the firebox, flue, crown, cap, and exterior masonry. After the high winds Fontana gets each fall, a Level 2 inspection makes sense even if you haven’t noticed smoke or water yet. We photograph everything we find and give you a written report that shows you exactly what we’re seeing, including any spot that needs attention now and any spot that can wait. Inspection pricing in Fontana runs from $129 for a basic visual check to $349 for a full video-scope inspection.
Chimney Repair in Fontana
Chimney Repair in Fontana covers everything from cracked crowns and flue liner failures to full relining and chase-cover replacement. Fontana’s Santa Ana wind exposure makes crown and cap replacement the two most common repairs we perform here. Every repair we do carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise: a written guarantee valid for one full year from the service date. If a covered repair fails within that period, we return at no charge. Repair pricing in Fontana depends on what the camera inspection finds, and you’ll receive a written quote before any work begins.
