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 Fort Myers, FL
Flint Chimney Sweep provides chimney cleaning, inspection, and repair across Fort Myers, Florida. A standard chimney sweep in Fort Myers typically runs $189 to $319, and that price is written down before we start. What makes Fort Myers work different from other Florida markets is the pairing of older masonry fireplaces built decades ago with salt-air exposure, high humidity, and hard summer rains. That combination accelerates flue deterioration faster than many homeowners expect. Call (830) 251-4560 and we’ll walk you through what your chimney actually needs.
Why Fort Myers Homes Are Different
Fort Myers housing stock splits into two broad camps. The first is a large inventory of block-and-stucco homes built from the 1960s through the 1980s, many with original clay tile flues that have simply never been relined. The second is newer construction, where fireplaces are often factory-built units with their own quirks. Both age differently in this climate than they would in a drier state, because Fort Myers humidity works its way into mortar joints year-round. Add in salt carried inland from the Gulf on afternoon winds, and you get a slow but steady erosion pattern that shows up most clearly during chimney inspections.
Wind matters here too. Afternoon thunderstorms roll through with real force, and water driven against a chimney crown finds every hairline crack. That water eventually works down into the firebox and smoke chamber. None of this is dramatic in the moment. It is cumulative, and it is exactly the sort of thing we look for during a sweep or a Level 2 inspection. We also work in neighborhoods where homeowner associations set their own rules about visible exterior changes, which is worth knowing before any masonry repair or crown replacement gets underway.
Our Main Fort Myers Services
Most Fort Myers homeowners call us for one of three things: a routine sweep before the cooler months, an inspection after buying a home or noticing a problem, or a repair that surfaced during one of those visits. Each service has its own Fort Myers page with full pricing and detail.
Chimney Sweep in Fort Myers
A chimney sweep in Fort Myers is not just about removing soot, it is about removing creosote, which is the flammable residue that builds up from wood fires. Given how humid Fort Myers air is, we also check for moisture intrusion while we’re in there, because damp creosote clings differently than dry buildup. The job includes protecting your flooring, running brushes sized to your flue, vacuuming the firebox and smoke chamber, and leaving the work area as we found it. Expect a written price before any work starts, every single time. Full details are on the Chimney Sweep in Fort Myers page.
Chimney Inspection in Fort Myers
Fort Myers homeowners often book an inspection because they have just bought a house, or because they smelled something damp around the fireplace during the rainy season. We work to NFPA 211 standards, which means a Level 1 visual check for routine maintenance and a Level 2 camera inspection when something has changed: a new home purchase, a storm hit, a chimney fire, or a performance issue. The camera sees what a flashlight cannot, including hidden cracks, failed mortar, or an old clay liner that is nearing the end of its useful life. See exactly what is included on the Chimney Inspection in Fort Myers page.
Chimney Repair in Fort Myers
Repairs in Fort Myers skew toward three findings: rusted or failing dampers, cracked chimney crowns, and clay flue liners that have spalled due to decades of heat and moisture cycling. Resurfacing a flue with HeatShield or replacing a clay liner with a DuraFlex stainless liner are both common jobs in this area. Every repair we do carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise, meaning a written guarantee valid for a full year from the service date. If a covered repair fails within that year, we return at no charge. Specific repair scenarios and pricing are covered on the Chimney Repair in Fort Myers page.

FAQs About Chimney Company in Fort Myers
Most Fort Myers appointments are scheduled within the same week, with a set arrival window. We do not give vague “sometime today” windows. When a job is urgent, such as suspected water intrusion during the rainy season, we do our best to prioritize it. Call (830) 251-4560 and our live-answer team will schedule a specific time.
That depends on your community. If the work changes the exterior appearance, such as a new chimney cap or crown rebuild, some Fort Myers HOAs want prior approval. Interior work like a sweep or flue relining generally does not trigger review. We can provide a written scope of work if your association requests documentation.
An inspection covers the entire chimney system: flue, smoke chamber, damper, firebox, crown, and exterior masonry. A Level 1 inspection is visual and designed for chimneys with no known issues. A Level 2 inspection adds a camera scan of the flue interior and is what most Fort Myers buyers and sellers request during a real estate transaction. Call (830) 251-4560 for a free estimate.
