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 Hudson, FL
Chimney cleaning in Hudson, FL typically runs $189 to $310 for a standard sweep, and most jobs are completed in under two hours. Hudson’s mix of 1980s-era builds and newer construction along the Little Road corridor means chimneys here see different wear patterns than homes even 20 minutes south. Flint Chimney Sweep handles all of it with a written price before any work starts. Call (830) 251-4560 to schedule.
Why Hudson Homes Are Different
Hudson sits close enough to the Gulf that salt air moves through chimneys in ways it doesn’t inland. Masonry chimneys in the older sections off Hudson Avenue and Clark Street absorb that moisture, and when the summer heat follows, you get spalling brick and crumbling mortar joints faster than in places like Spring Hill. That means a simple sweep here often turns up early-stage masonry issues that would stay hidden for years in drier climates.
The housing stock splits two ways. Homes built in the 1970s and 1980s, especially around the Beacon Woods area, often have original clay tile liners that are now well past their expected lifespan. Newer construction along State Road 52 tends toward prefabricated fireplace systems that need different inspection protocols. Neither is better or worse, but they require different approaches on the truck. We carry equipment for both.
One more thing about Hudson: wood-burning fireplaces are more common here than in the coastal communities to the west. That means real creosote buildup from actual fires, not just decorative gas logs. It changes how often we recommend a sweep and what we look for during one.
Our Main Hudson Services
Most Hudson homeowners call us for one of three jobs: a standard chimney sweep, a level 1 or level 2 inspection, or a repair that came out of one of those visits. Each has its own page with full pricing and what to expect.
Chimney Sweep in Hudson
A Chimney Sweep in Hudson means removing creosote and soot from the flue, smoke chamber, and firebox. In Hudson, we also check for salt-air corrosion on the damper assembly, which is the most common non-creosote issue we find on the west side of Pasco. The job includes a protective drop cloth at the fireplace, a HEPA-filtered vacuum, and a written condition report with photos of anything we found. Most sweeps take 60 to 90 minutes.
Chimney Inspection in Hudson
A Chimney Inspection in Hudson is a camera-based check of the entire flue system. For older homes off Hudson Avenue, we recommend a level 2 inspection at minimum, because the clay tile liners in that housing stock have hit the age where hidden cracks are common and only a camera will find them. You get a written report with still images, and if we recommend a repair, you’ll see exactly why on the screen before anyone quotes a dollar figure.
Chimney Repair in Hudson
Chimney Repair in Hudson covers everything from crown resealing to full flue relining. Hudson’s salt air accelerates mortar deterioration, so we do a lot of tuckpointing and crown rebuilds in the Beacon Woods and surrounding neighborhoods. Every repair, no matter how small, carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If a covered repair fails within a year, we return at no charge.
