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 Norwood, MA
We’re Flint Chimney Sweep, the chimney company Norwood homeowners call when they want a written price before any work starts and a one-year guarantee on every repair. Norwood’s housing stock runs from solid 1920s colonials near the center to mid-century ranches off Route 1, and almost all of them burn wood through New England winters. That means creosote builds up fast, and it means chimney work here is regular maintenance, not an occasional surprise. Call us at (830) 251-4560 when you’re ready to schedule.
Why Norwood Homes Are Different
Norwood sits in Norfolk County with a housing mix that keeps chimney work interesting. Older homes near Washington Street and the town center often have unlined brick chimneys that predate modern fire codes. The mid-century stock around Upland Road and Ellis Avenue tends to have prefab fireplace systems that need specific replacement parts, not just a sweep. The Neponset River runs along the western edge of town, and the low-lying areas near it see more damp than the hill streets up toward Westwood. Damp brick absorbs water, freezes, and spalls, which is why we find more masonry issues in Norwood than in drier towns nearby.
Norwood’s winter temperatures regularly drop into the teens, and wood stoves and fireplaces here get heavy use from November through March. That’s a full five months of creosote accumulation. Norwood also has a permit process for significant chimney rebuilds and relining work, and our team knows what the town requires before a job even gets scheduled. We tell you upfront, in writing, what’s needed. No surprises at the permit office, no surprises on the invoice.
Our Main Norwood Services
Most Norwood homeowners call us for one of two reasons: the chimney hasn’t been cleaned in years and they want it done right, or they see signs of damage and need a professional evaluation before things get worse. Below are the three services we provide in Norwood, each with its own detailed page.
Chimney Sweep in Norwood
A proper Chimney Sweep in Norwood removes creosote from the flue liner, smoke chamber, and firebox, then checks the damper and cap. Norwood’s older chimneys often have clay tile liners with rough surfaces that trap more creosote than smooth steel liners, so we take our time and use brushes sized to your flue. Every sweep includes a written report with photos, so you see what we saw. We don’t leave a mess, and we don’t leave questions unanswered.
Chimney Inspection in Norwood
An Chimney Inspection in Norwood is a camera-led look at the entire system, from the cap to the firebox. Norwood’s older homes often need a Level 2 inspection, which gives you a full picture of what’s happening inside the flue. We document everything with photos and explain what needs attention now, what can wait, and what’s fine as is. You get a written report with the findings. No upselling, just facts and a clear trail of evidence.
Chimney Repair in Norwood
For Chimney Repair in Norwood, we handle everything from crown rebuilds and flashing to flue relining, where we replace the inner liner that channels smoke safely out of the house. Norwood’s freeze-thaw cycles crack masonry, and cracked crowns let water into the chimney structure. Every repair carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise: a written guarantee valid for one full year, with a free return visit if a covered repair fails within that period. We specify materials like DuraFlex for liners and Olympia Chimney for caps, and we show you the written price before we start.
