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 Montgomery, TX
Chimney cleaning in Montgomery, TX typically runs $180 to $340 for a standard sweep, and most jobs are completed the same day the crew arrives. Montgomery sits in Montgomery County’s pine and hardwood country, where humidity, tree cover, and the local preference for wood-burning fireplaces shape how often chimneys need attention. Flint Chimney Sweep handles everything from routine cleaning to full relining, with a written price before any work begins. Call (830) 251-4560 to schedule.
Why Montgomery Homes Are Different
Montgomery’s older homes, especially around the historic downtown and along FM 149, tend to have masonry chimneys built decades ago with clay tile liners that crack under repeated heating cycles. Newer construction in Bentwater, Walden, and Grand Harbor skews toward prefabricated fireplace units with metal flues that corrode in East Texas humidity. That spread of chimney types means no single cleaning approach fits every house.
We also see creosote buildup accelerate in Montgomery because of how fires are used here. Cool, damp fall and winter nights push homeowners to burn longer, often with wood that hasn’t fully seasoned. Green or partially cured oak and pine smolder at lower temperatures, producing the sticky, glazed creosote that’s hardest to remove and most likely to fuel a chimney fire. A cleaning that works fine for a gas fireplace in a Tomball subdivision won’t touch what accumulates in a wood-burning Montgomery chimney after one season.
The tree canopy matters too. Oak, hickory, and pine drop debris on roofs year-round, and Montgomery wind patterns funnel leaves and twigs toward chimney caps. Open flues without proper caps fill with nesting material fast, so cap inspection gets built into every Montgomery visit.
Our Main Montgomery Services
Three services cover what Montgomery homeowners call us for most: sweeping, inspection, and repair. Each has its own Montgomery page with full pricing and what the job involves.
Chimney Sweep in Montgomery
A Chimney Sweep in Montgomery removes the creosote and soot that accumulate from wood burning. In Montgomery, where oak and pine dominate the local firewood supply, we regularly encounter the hard, shiny creosote that forms when unseasoned wood smolders rather than burns. That type of buildup requires rotary cleaning heads, not just a brush. We run drop cloths from the fireplace to the truck, use a HEPA vacuum during the entire job, and leave the hearth cleaner than we found it.
Chimney Inspection in Montgomery
A Chimney Inspection in Montgomery documents what’s happening inside the flue with a camera system you can see on-screen. We walk through the footage with you, mark any cracks, spalling, or water intrusion, and tell you plainly if the chimney is safe to burn or can wait. In Montgomery’s older masonry chimneys, hairline cracks in the clay liner are common. That doesn’t always mean an immediate reline, and the camera evidence lets you call that decision yourself instead of taking a salesperson’s word for it.
Chimney Repair in Montgomery
Chimney Repair in Montgomery covers everything from crown replacement to flue relining to firebox rebuilding. Montgomery’s freeze-thaw cycles open up hairline cracks in brick and mortar over time, and water then works its way behind the mortar joints. Left alone, that is how a small crown crack becomes a $4,000 rebuild three winters later. Our repair work uses the same professional materials we specify on every job: DuraFlex for liners, HeatShield for structural liner repair, and Olympia Chimney or Famco components where the job calls for it. Every repair comes with the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing: if a covered repair fails inside one year, we return and fix it at no charge.

What moves the price in Montgomery is liner condition and firebox geometry. Older masonry fireplaces with shallow fireboxes repair differently than modern prefab units, and a two-story chimney on a steep lot in Walden takes longer to work than a single-story ranch in town. Whatever the job number becomes, you get it in writing before a tool leaves the truck. The figure you approve is the figure you pay, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise is included on any repair we do.
