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 New Braunfels, TX
Flint Chimney Sweep handles chimney cleaning, inspection, and repair across New Braunfels, TX. Homes here run the full gamut: limestone ranch houses from the 1960s and 70s, new construction in Gruene and Meyer Ranch, and Hill Country second homes that sit empty for months. The one thing they share is a climate that punishes masonry. Hard summer heat, winter cold snaps, and spring storms work mortar joints loose, and a chimney that looked fine last season can look very different now. We put a written price in your hand before work starts and every repair carries a 365-day guarantee. Call (830) 251-4560.
Why New Braunfels Homes Are Different
New Braunfels sits at the edge of the Edwards Plateau, which means shallow limestone soil and fast temperature swings. Chimneys here expand and contract hard between July afternoons and January nights, and that movement shows up as cracked crown mortar, loose brick, and flue liner joints that begin to separate. It’s the most common thing we find on a first visit.
Housing stock matters too. Older neighborhoods like downtown and the streets off Landa have masonry fireplaces built thick and well, but the mortar is now 40 to 60 years old. Newer subdivisions in the Creekside and Oak Run areas often have prefabricated chimney systems with metal flues that corrode faster in humid summer air. And a lot of New Braunfels homes have fireplaces that get used three months a year, then ignored. Creosote from oak and mesquite fires hardens over a long Texas summer, and hardened creosote is exactly what starts chimney fires. A sweep done before burning season is cheap insurance against that.
Permits are generally not required for routine cleaning or inspection, though a repair that changes the structure of the firebox or flue may need city review depending on scope. If a job on your chimney ever needs a permit, it’s folded into the written scope before work starts.
Our Main New Braunfels Services
Most New Braunfels homeowners call us for one of two reasons: they want the chimney cleaned before the first cold front, or they’ve seen something that worries them. All three services below start with the same basic rule: a written price before anything comes off the truck.
Chimney Sweep in New Braunfels
A sweep removes creosote, soot, and any debris that has dropped into the firebox, and it keeps the flue drafting safely. In New Braunfels we run into a lot of bird nests and squirrel nests in chimneys that went unused since spring, plus the kind of glazed creosote that builds up when homeowners burn oak through the winter and then stop. We quote the sweep as a flat price before the work starts, and you’ll know exactly what it includes. Chimney Sweep in New Braunfels
Chimney Inspection in New Braunfels
An inspection documents the condition of the flue, crown, damper, and firebox, usually with a camera so you can see the inside of the flue yourself. New Braunfels homeowners ask for inspections most often after a storm, after buying a house, or before the first fire of fall. If the camera shows cracks or spalling brick, you get photo evidence, not a vague warning. Chimney Inspection in New Braunfels
Chimney Repair in New Braunfels
Repair covers crown repair, flue relining (replacing the inner liner that channels smoke safely out of the house), firebox rebuilds, and mortar joint repair. New Braunfels limestone homes hold heat and cool slowly, so hairline cracks spread here faster than drier markets, and a cracked crown turns into spalling brick sooner than most homeowners expect. Every repair we perform carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise: a written guarantee for one full year, and if a covered repair fails, we return at no charge. Chimney Repair in New Braunfels
