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.

Flint Chimney Sweep handles chimney cleaning, inspection, and repair across Pomona, CA, the old Pomona Valley city where the housing stock runs from 1920s bungalows off Holt Avenue to 1980s tract homes climbing the Phillips Ranch hills. Our crews work under The Garrison Standard: a written price before any tool comes off the truck, background-checked uniformed technicians, and every repair backed in writing for a full year. Call (830) 251-4560 and a live person answers, day or night.
Why Pomona Homes Are Different
Pomona sits at the eastern edge of the San Gabriel Valley, where the climate swings between dry Santa Ana winds and damp winter marine layer that catches the city off guard. Most of the chimneys we work on in Pomona were built between the 1930s and 1970s, and they were framed around wood heat, then converted to gas fireplaces decades later. That conversion history matters: the original clay tile liners were sized for wood smoke, and a gas appliance in an old clay flue can eat away at the mortar joints over time. In the Lincoln Park and Wilton Heights neighborhoods, we regularly see chimneys where a gas insert was slid into a masonry firebox without a proper flue liner transition, and the gaps let moisture and exhaust sit inside the chase. The Pomona Fairplex area and the older grid streets near Garey Avenue are even more exposed because those chimneys have been through seventy or eighty years of thermal cycling. Add in the fact that Pomona sits in a region with occasional seismic activity, and the expansion joints between the firebox, smoke chamber, and flue are more likely to work loose than in nearby foothill communities where homes are newer. A sweep in Pomona is rarely just a sweep; it turns up the things 60-year-old chimneys hide.
Our Main Pomona Services
Most Pomona homeowners call us for one of three reasons: the chimney hasn’t been swept in years, they’re seeing water or staining inside the firebox, or they just bought a house and want to know what they’re actually working with. Each service has its own Pomona page with specific pricing, and Hank Delano’s team handles all three.
Chimney Sweep in Pomona
A Chimney Sweep in Pomona removes the soot and creosote that builds up inside the flue, plus any debris, nests, or fallen mortar fragments sitting in the smoke shelf. In Pomona’s older homes, a sweep often doubles as a discovery call because the camera we run after every cleaning shows exactly what condition the liner and smoke chamber are in. We give you the photos, not just a summary.
Chimney Inspection in Pomona
A Chimney Inspection in Pomona is the right move before buying a Pomona house, after an earthquake, or if you notice anything odd about the chimney’s draft or the condition of the mortar outside. We follow the National Fire Protection Association’s three inspection levels and write up our findings in plain language with photos attached. Nothing gets recommended unless the camera shows us the evidence.
Chimney Repair in Pomona
Chimney Repair in Pomona covers everything from repointing crumbling brick and rebuilding the shoulder to replacing a rusted damper or installing a proper flue liner. Pomona’s older chimneys frequently need smoke chamber parging and flue resurfacing, and we use HeatShield, DuraFlex, and Copperfield products specified by the job, not by whatever’s on the truck. Every repair we make carries a written 365-day guarantee.

Pomona prices run slightly above the national average because so many of the chimneys we open up were built before modern liner codes, and a straight sweep often becomes a camera discovery call. Whatever the quote ends up being, you get it in writing before we touch anything, and the number on the invoice is the number you approved.
