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 Hobart, WA
Flint Chimney Sweep is the chimney company Hobart homeowners call when they want a written price before any work starts, plus a full-year guarantee on every repair. Homes here sit in a damp, forested corridor where fir needles, moss, and the occasional wind-driven branch end up in chimneys and on caps. If your flue hasn’t been looked at in a couple of seasons, call (830) 251-4560 and we’ll get you scheduled.
Why Hobart Homes Are Different
Hobart sits in the Cedar River watershed, tucked between Tiger Mountain and the Raging River valley. That means wet winters, heavy tree cover, and chimneys that collect organic debris faster than homes on open ground. Creosote forms differently here: the humidity keeps the flue interior damp between fires, and damp creosote bonds to flue walls harder than the dry, flaky kind. It also smells more, which is often the first thing a homeowner notices from inside the living room.
The housing stock matters too. Many Hobart properties were built as larger-lot rural or semi-rural homes, some dating to the 1970s and 1980s, with masonry chimneys that have seen forty-plus seasons of rain and freeze-thaw cycles. We routinely find cracked crown mortar and spalling brick on chimneys that look fine from the ground. Newer construction along the Issaquah-Hobart Road corridor often has factory-built chimneys, which have their own set of clearance and cap requirements. And unlike a Seattle condo call, many Hobart jobs involve a longer driveway, a gated entry, or a steep pitch we need to plan for before we dispatch a technician. None of that changes our pricing. It just means we ask better questions when you call.
Our Main Hobart Services
Three services cover nearly every job we do in Hobart: sweeping, inspection, and repair. Each has its own page with local detail, but here’s the short version.
Chimney Sweep in Hobart
A sweep in Hobart means removing creosote, fir needles, moss fragments, and the occasional squirrel nest from the flue and smoke chamber. We brush the full length of the flue, clean the smoke shelf, and vacuum the firebox and surrounding hearth with a HEPA-filtered vac so dust doesn’t travel through the house. Because water and tree litter enter Hobart chimneys faster than in drier towns, we also check the cap and crown during every sweep. Full details, including pricing, are on our Chimney Sweep in Hobart page.
Chimney Inspection in Hobart
An inspection documents what the crawlspace-under-a-house inspection documents for a foundation: condition, risk, and what needs attention now versus what can wait. In Hobart, we look specifically for moisture intrusion at the crown and flashing, creosote accumulation levels, and any gap between flue tiles where a chimney fire could find a path. We put findings in writing, with photos, so you can see exactly what we saw. See our Chimney Inspection in Hobart page for what each inspection level covers.
Chimney Repair in Hobart
Repairs in Hobart most often involve crown resurfacing, flashing replacement, flue relining with DuraFlex, and brick or mortar work where freeze-thaw has done damage. Every repair we quote comes with a written price first and the 365-Day Done Right Promise, a written guarantee valid for one full year. If a covered repair fails inside that window, we return at no charge. Read more on our Chimney Repair in Hobart page.

Pricing for Chimney Company in Hobart, WA
These are typical ranges for Hobart. The exact number depends on flue size, access, and current condition, and you’ll have a written price in hand before any work begins.

| Standard chimney sweep | $189 – $289 |
| Chimney sweep with roof chase cap | $239 – $339 |
| Chimney sweep with spark arrestor cap | $249 – $349 |

| Chimney cap and chase cover | $125 – $500+ |
| Smoke and draft issues | $250 – $900+ |
Hobart pricing is pushed upward by steep roof pitches, tall scaffolding needs on two-story masonry chimneys, and heavier creosote buildup that takes longer to remove properly. What never changes is the written price you approve before our technician starts, and the invoice matching that number exactly.
