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 Pinehurst, TX
Flint Chimney Sweep handles chimney cleaning, inspection, and repair across Pinehurst, TX with written pricing before any work begins. Pinehurst homes sit in a humid subtropical climate where creosote builds differently than in drier parts of Texas, and the older brick construction in this area means flue conditions vary house to house. That’s why we never quote over the phone blind. We look, we measure, we put the number in writing, and only then does a tool come off the truck. Call us at (830) 251-4560 and you’ll reach a live person, not a voicemail tree.
Why Pinehurst Homes Are Different
Pinehurst sits in the eastern part of Montgomery County, and the homes here run older on average than what you’ll find in the newer master-planned communities south of town. A lot of the chimneys we work on are original to houses built in the 1970s and 1980s. That means clay tile liners that have been through forty or more Texas summers and winters, mortar joints that have taken on decades of humidity, and in some cases prefab fireplaces that were installed when building codes were looser than they are today.
The humidity is the quiet problem. Pinehurst gets real wet seasons, and moisture works its way into brick and mortar slowly. When you burn a fire on top of damp masonry, the heating and cooling cycle accelerates spalling, that flaking and crumbling you sometimes see on chimney crowns. We also see more animal intrusion here than in drier parts of the county because the surrounding pine and oak canopy gives squirrels and raccoons easy roof access. A chimney cap that fits tight and a damper that seals are not optional in Pinehurst. They are the difference between a clean flue and a nest you don’t know about until smoke backs into the living room.
Terrain matters, too. Pinehurst lots vary from flat to gently sloped, and a number of homes have chimneys that are not level with the roofline. Access and ladder setup take longer on those jobs, which is exactly why our written quote covers the full job before we start. Nothing gets added on because a roof is awkward.
Our Main Pinehurst Services
Most Pinehurst homeowners call us for one of two reasons: a chimney that hasn’t been cleaned in years, or a chimney that made a strange noise or left a stain and now they want to know if it’s safe. All three of our core services are described below, and each one runs on the same rule: written price first, guaranteed work after.
Chimney Sweep in Pinehurst
A proper sweep in Pinehurst removes creosote from the flue walls, clears the smoke shelf, and checks that the damper opens and closes the way it should. We also inspect the cap and crown because in this area those are the two places animals and rainwater get in first. After the sweep you get a written report on what we found and what condition the flue is in. If you’re not sure when your chimney was last cleaned, the safe answer is to have it done now rather than guess. Details and local pricing are on the Chimney Sweep in Pinehurst page.
Chimney Inspection in Pinehurst
Inspections in Pinehurst are worth doing before you buy a home, after any storm that rattled the chimney, or simply because the fireplace hasn’t been used in several seasons and you want to know it is sound before the first cold night. We use a camera to look inside the flue so you see exactly what we see, no mystery and no vague warnings. Cracks in clay liners are common in this housing stock, and a camera is the only way to confirm one exists. The full process and what each level of inspection covers are on the Chimney Inspection in Pinehurst page.
Chimney Repair in Pinehurst
When a camera inspection turns up a cracked liner, spalled brick, or a leaking crown, the fix usually falls into one of three buckets: reline, rebuild, or reseal. In Pinehurst we see plenty of all three because of the moisture and the age of the homes. Every repair we perform carries a written one-year guarantee called the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If a covered repair fails inside that year, we come back and fix it at no charge. That’s the Garrison Standard, and it applies on every single repair job. Repairs are quoted in writing first, always. See the Chimney Repair in Pinehurst page for specifics.
