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 Seguin, TX
Seguin homeowners deal with a specific set of chimney problems: older brick fireplaces built for occasional winter fires, hot humid summers that push creosote into flue walls, and fall wind that drives debris deep into caps and dampers. We’re Flint Chimney Sweep, and we run every Seguin job under the Garrison Standard: a written price before work starts, a background-checked technician on site, and a written guarantee on every repair. Call (830) 251-4560 and a live person answers, day or night.
Why Seguin Homes Are Different
Much of Seguin’s housing stock was built between the 1960s and early 2000s, and the fireplaces reflect that span. Older brick chimneys in neighborhoods off East Court Street and around Walnut Springs often have clay tile liners that are now cracked from thirty or forty years of Texas heat cycling. Newer homes, particularly in the developments south of I-10 toward New Braunfels, tend to have factory-built fireplaces with metal flues that corrode differently, especially after the humid stretch from May through September.
The Guadalupe River bottom also matters. Homes near the river and along its low terraces sit in a persistent moisture band, and that damp air accelerates mortar erosion in exterior brick. It’s not dramatic, but it’s steady, and it’s why we see more spalling (brick face flaking) in Seguin river neighborhoods than in dryer parts of the county. Wind is the other constant, particularly in fall and spring, and it’s why cap and damper issues come up so often here. A chimney without a working cap in Seguin will fill with leaves, twigs, and the occasional bird nest by December.
Our Main Seguin Services
Seguin homeowners call us most often for chimney sweeps before burning season and inspections after a storm or before buying a house. Each service has its own page below with Seguin-specific pricing and conditions.
Chimney Sweep in Seguin
A proper chimney sweep in Seguin removes creosote, soot, and whatever the wind and wildlife have left behind since the last burn. In this climate, we’re also checking for the glazed, hard creosote that forms when a chimney runs hot then sits through a humid summer. We see it regularly in older river-area homes. Every sweep includes a looked-at cap, damper, and firebox, plus a written report of anything that needs attention. Full details are on our Chimney Sweep in Seguin page.
Chimney Inspection in Seguin
A Seguin chimney inspection is a camera-based look at the entire flue path, from firebox to crown. We’re looking for cracked clay tiles, gaps in the mortar joints, water entry, and rusted metal components. In Seguin, the most common inspection finding is a hairline crack in the flue liner that starts small and grows with each heating season. We photograph what we see and show you the pictures before recommending anything. That’s the point. See the Chimney Inspection in Seguin page for what each level covers and what it costs here.
Chimney Repair in Seguin
Chimney repair in Seguin spans everything from crown resealing to flue relining (replacing the inner liner that channels smoke safely out of the house) to full firebox rebuild. Every repair we quote gets a written price before work starts, and every repair carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise: if a covered repair fails within one year, we return at no charge. Full scope and local pricing are on the Chimney Repair in Seguin page.
