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 Linthicum, MD
Flint Chimney Sweep handles chimney cleaning, inspection, and repair throughout Linthicum, MD, with written pricing before any work begins and a one-year guarantee on every repair. Linthicum’s chimney work is shaped by its mid-century housing stock and the damp, freeze-thaw winters that put real stress on masonry and liners. If you need a sweep, an inspection, or a repair in Linthicum, call (830) 251-4560 and you’ll get a live person, not a voicemail tree.
Why Linthicum Homes Are Different
Linthicum’s homes run the gamut from 1940s and 1950s brick ranchers near the BWI corridor to newer construction in developments off Camp Meade Road and Maple Road. The older stock is what keeps us busiest. Many of those mid-century chimneys were built with clay tile liners that are now sixty to eighty years old, and the mortar joints in that era’s brickwork were often mixed softer than modern code allows. Add Linthicum’s freeze-thaw cycles – where winter moisture seeps into brick and refreezes – and you get spalling, cracked crowns, and liner deterioration that shows up on camera inspection.
The proximity to BWI matters too. Homes along Andover Road, Maple Road, and the neighborhoods east of the airport deal with a steady sound-and-vibration baseline that homeowners don’t always connect to their chimney, but settling hairline cracks are common in this part of Anne Arundel County. None of this means a chimney is unsafe by default. It means a Linthicum inspection has to look at the whole assembly: the visible brick, the flue interior, the crown, and the flashing where the chimney meets the roof. That’s the only way to tell a cosmetic crack from one that’s letting water in.
Our Main Linthicum Services
Most Linthicum homeowners call us for one of two reasons: they haven’t had the chimney cleaned in years and want it done before burning season, or they saw water staining near the fireplace and want to know what’s going on. The three services below each have their own Linthicum page with full pricing and detail.
Chimney Sweep in Linthicum
A Chimney Sweep in Linthicum removes soot, creosote, and debris from the flue so your fireplace or wood stove drafts properly and burns safely. In Linthicum’s older homes, we often pull out more than just creosote: bird nests, fallen brick chips from deteriorating liners, and leaf litter that worked its way past a failed chimney cap. We run brushes sized to your flue, contain the work inside the firebox, and leave the hearth cleaner than we found it. The written price covers the full sweep, start to finish.
Chimney Inspection in Linthicum
A Chimney Inspection in Linthicum is a camera-led look at the entire chimney system, from the firebox up through the flue liner to the crown and cap. That camera matters in Linthicum because so many older flues have hidden damage a flashlight from below will never catch. You see exactly what we see. If the inspection turns up a liner crack or water intrusion, we show you the footage, explain what the repair would involve, and give you a written price. Nothing gets recommended without evidence you can watch yourself.
Chimney Repair in Linthicum
A Chimney Repair in Linthicum covers everything from crown replacement and tuckpointing to full flue relining. Linthicum’s freeze-thaw climate means crowns crack, mortar crumbles, and liners separate over time. When we repair, we specify materials by the job, not our margin: DuraFlex for stainless relining where a liner is shot, HeatShield for resurfacing where the clay is still sound, Famco caps when the old cap has rusted through. Every repair carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing.

What pushes price up in Linthicum is mostly roof height and liner length. Two-story chimneys and steep roof pitches take longer to work safely, and a taller flue means more liner material for a relining job. Whatever the job, the price we quote in writing before we start is the price you pay. Period.
