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.

Chimney cleaning in Midland, WA typically costs $189 – $289 for a standard sweep, with inspections running $159 – $289 depending on depth. Homes here tend to be newer builds with gas or wood-burning fireplaces that get used hard through wet, cold winters. If you need a chimney company in Midland that puts the price in writing before any work starts, call Flint Chimney Sweep at (830) 251-4560.
Why Midland Homes Are Different
Midland sits in unincorporated Pierce County, just south of Tacoma, and the housing stock reflects that. Most homes were built between the 1990s and 2010s, so you see a lot of factory-built fireplaces that vent through framed chases rather than full masonry chimneys. That changes the work: flue liners on prefab units are metal, not clay tile, and they corrode fast when condensation sits inside. We also see plenty of older wood stoves in the Sumner-Buckley corridor and along River Road, where rural lots let homeowners burn more often. Wet winters mean creosote builds up quicker here than in drier parts of the state. And because much of Midland is outside city limits, chimney work rarely hits municipal permit requirements, though state fire codes still apply to any liner replacement or repair. Scheduling is coordinated from our Seattle office, and crews run Midland jobs locally. Hank Delano leads the team, and he signs off on every written quote before it reaches you.
Our Main Midland Services
Most Midland homeowners call us for two reasons: the fireplace hasn’t been swept in years, or an inspection turned up something that needs repair. Here’s how each works.
Chimney Sweep in Midland
A standard sweep in Midland removes creosote and soot from the flue, smoke chamber, and firebox. In this area we often find nests from starlings and squirrels that work their way into uncapped flues, especially on homes backed up to greenbelts. We run brushes sized to your flue, keep the work area covered, and leave the fireplace cleaner than we found it. Every sweep includes a visual check of the liner and cap. Full details are on the Chimney Sweep in Midland page.
Chimney Inspection in Midland
Inspections here fall into two camps: real estate transactions and homeowners who want a straight answer before burning season. Both get the same treatment – a camera run down the full flue length, photos of anything we find, and a written report that spells out what’s urgent, what can wait, and what’s purely optional. We inspect factory-built units and full masonry chimneys alike. See the Chimney Inspection in Midland page for levels and what each covers.
Chimney Repair in Midland
Repair work in Midland usually means liner replacement, crown repair, or chase cover replacement on prefab fireplaces. The wet climate accelerates rust on metal components, and we replace with professional-grade materials specified for the job – not whatever is cheapest on a shelf. Every repair carries a written guarantee valid for one full year. If a covered repair fails within that period, we return at no charge. Read the Chimney Repair in Midland page for scope and pricing.

Whatever you approve is what you pay – Flint Chimney Sweep writes the price before a single tool comes off the truck, and that number does not move.
