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 Narberth, PA
Most Narberth chimneys were built for coal, then converted for gas or oil, then asked to vent modern heating appliances they were never designed for. That history shapes every sweep and inspection we do in this borough. Flint Chimney Sweep handles chimney cleaning, inspection, and repair across Narberth with written pricing before any work starts and a one-year guarantee on every repair. Call (830) 251-4560 to schedule.
Why Narberth Homes Are Different
Narberth’s housing stock runs old. Century-old twins and stone-fronted singles line streets like Conway, Dudley, and Forrest, and many still have their original masonry chimneys. The age matters because old mortar beds were mixed softer than modern code allows, and after a hundred Pennsylvania freeze-thaw cycles, joints crack and spall. A sweep here is rarely just brush-and-done; it usually means checking the mortar crown, the flashing where the roof meets the chimney, and the tile liner for what a century of coal soot left behind.
The borough’s tree cover adds another layer. Narberth’s canopy drops leaves, twigs, and squirrel nests onto caps and into flues faster than in open subdivisions. We recommend a chimney cap inspection on nearly every first visit in Narberth because uncapped flues here collect organic debris that becomes a chimney fire risk the first cold night of fall.
Our Main Narberth Services
Narberth homeowners most often call us for a routine chimney sweep before burning season and for a Level 1 or Level 2 chimney inspection before closing on one of the borough’s older homes. Each service has its own page with Narberth-specific pricing and what the job covers.
Chimney Sweep in Narberth
A chimney sweep in Narberth removes the soot and creosote that accumulate inside the flue, then checks airflow and the firebox for obvious wear. On older Narberth homes, we also look at the smoke shelf and damper, because coal-conversion dampers often rust open or stick after decades of disuse. The job takes about an hour and leaves no dust in the house; we use HEPA-filtered vacuums and lay drop cloths at the hearth. See Chimney Sweep in Narberth for pricing and what we check during a standard sweep.
Chimney Inspection in Narberth
Narberth home purchases rarely close without a chimney inspection, and for good reason. The borough’s older flues hide cracks, missing mortar, and undersized liners that a general home inspector’s flashlight scan won’t catch. We perform Level 1 inspections for annual maintenance and Level 2 inspections, which add a camera run through the flue, for real estate transactions or after a chimney fire. The camera footage is yours to keep, and we walk through what we found before recommending any work. Details are on Chimney Inspection in Narberth.
Chimney Repair in Narberth
Chimney repair in Narberth typically means repointing the crown, rebuilding a spalled brick face, or installing a stainless liner when the original tile liner has cracked. We specify materials by job: DuraFlex and Copperfield liners for relining work, HeatShield for resurfacing deteriorated flue tiles. Every repair we do carries a one-year written guarantee, and if a covered repair fails inside that year, we return at no charge. The full breakdown is on Chimney Repair in Narberth.
