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.

Why Newtown Homes Are Different
Newtown sits in a pocket of Bucks County where old meets new in a way that matters for chimneys. Homes near the borough center and along Washington Avenue often date back 100 to 200 years, with original masonry chimneys built for coal or wood stoves, not today’s oil and gas appliances. Those older flues were rarely lined to modern code, and we commonly find spalling brick and eroded mortar joints that newer subdivisions like Newtown Grant or Country Bend simply don’t see in their first 30 years.
The area’s wet, freeze-thaw winters do real work on exposed masonry. Water gets into hairline cracks, freezes, and widens them. A chimney that looked fine in September can be shedding brick chips by March. Homes near Tyler State Park and the Newtown Creek corridor also contend with more moisture in the air, which accelerates creosote buildup inside flues. Add in the township’s mix of historic-district review standards for older properties on State Street, and you have a place where the right fix is rarely the same from one street to the next. That’s exactly why we price every job after seeing the chimney, never from a phone description.
Our Main Newtown Services
Most Newtown homeowners reach out for one of three reasons: a chimney that hasn’t been cleaned in years, a real estate inspection before a sale, or damage they spotted from the yard. Each has its own process and its own page, linked below.
Chimney Sweep in Newtown
A sweep in Newtown means more than running a brush up the flue. Older borough homes often have years of creosote layered inside oversized flues, while newer homes in Newtown Crossing are more likely to have a dead bird, a squirrel nest, or a failed cap. Our crew lays drop cloths, runs a HEPA-filtered vacuum, and brushes the full flue from the firebox to the cap. You get a written condition report when we finish, and a flat price before we start. See the full breakdown on our Chimney Sweep in Newtown page.
Chimney Inspection in Newtown
Inspections in Newtown split into two camps. Real estate transactions, where the buyer’s agent wants camera evidence inside the flue before closing, and homeowners who just bought an older property and want to know what they actually have. We run a video camera through the flue and document what we see, with photos included in the report. If the flue is sound, you’ll know that in writing. If it isn’t, you’ll see the exact footage that tells you why. Read more on the Chimney Inspection in Newtown page.
Chimney Repair in Newtown
Repair work in Newtown is split between masonry and liner problems. The older stone and brick chimneys near the borough need repointing and crown work, while homes from the 1970s and later often have cracked clay tile liners that call for a stainless steel replacement. We use HeatShield and Gelco products for liner work, and every repair carries a written one-year guarantee. If a covered repair fails within that year, we return at no charge. Full details are on the Chimney Repair in Newtown page.

Historic properties on State Street and Washington Avenue can also add township review steps that affect the schedule, if not the price itself. What doesn’t change is our process: you get a written price before any tool comes off the truck, and the invoice matches that number.
