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, PA
Chimney cleaning in Norwood, PA typically costs between $189 and $319 for a standard sweep, and we quote a written price before any work starts. Norwood homes run on older masonry and tight lots, which changes how we stage equipment and how often flues need attention. If you need a sweep, inspection, or repair, call (830) 251-4560 and a live person answers around the clock.
Why Norwood Homes Are Different
Norwood’s housing stock leans into the first half of the 20th century, with a dense mix of brick twins and detached colonials packed close together. Tight side yards and narrow alleys mean our technicians set up differently here than in spread-out suburbs: we hand-carry brushes and rods to the roof rather than run long hose lines from a truck parked a block away. The borough’s older flues were built for coal, and many were retrofitted for oil or gas decades ago. That retrofit gap is the single most common issue we document in Norwood: clay tile liners that were never sized for the appliance now attached to them. Norwood’s position near Darby Creek also means more freeze-thaw cycles than inland areas, which works mortar joints loose on exterior chimneys faster than homeowners expect.
The practical result is that scheduling in Norwood runs smoother than in larger metro zones. Streets are short, parking is predictable most of the year, and we can typically route two or three Norwood jobs in the same morning. That keeps our travel overhead lower, and the pricing on this page reflects that.
Our Main Norwood Services
Most Norwood homeowners call us for two things: a routine sweep before burning season, or an inspection after a house sale or a storm. Each service below has its own Norwood page with full pricing and detail.
Chimney Sweep in Norwood
A sweep in Norwood removes soot, creosote, and whatever else has settled in the flue since the last burn. Most homes here need it every year if you burn wood regularly, and every two years for gas or oil. The job includes drop cloths, a HEPA-filtered vacuum, and a written condition report when we finish.

Chimney Inspection in Norwood
Norwood’s older housing stock means many chimneys have changed fuel sources at least once, and an inspection documents whether the flue matches the current appliance. We use cameras for level-two inspections and provide photos so you can see exactly what we’re describing. Chimney Inspection in Norwood
Chimney Repair in Norwood
When an inspection turns up cracked flue tiles, deteriorated mortar, or a rusted damper, the repair work is handled through our dedicated Norwood page. Every repair carries a written one-year guarantee, and if a covered repair fails within that period, we return at no charge. Chimney Repair in Norwood
