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 Severn, MD
Flint Chimney Sweep is the chimney company Severn homeowners call for cleaning, inspection, and repair work that comes with a written price before any tool leaves the truck. Severn’s mix of 1970s colonials, 1980s split-levels, and newer construction along Reece Road and Jacobs Road means we see everything from original clay liners to modern prefab systems in a single afternoon. Our techs are background-checked, uniformed, and dispatch from our Baltimore office, so scheduling is straightforward and the crew shows up inside the window we give you. Call (830) 251-4560 for a free estimate.
Why Severn Homes Are Different
Severn sits in western Anne Arundel County where clay-heavy soil and a humid mid-Atlantic climate put real stress on masonry. Freeze-thaw cycles crack brick crowns and mortar joints faster here than in drier inland towns, and the damp air accelerates creosote glazing inside flues. Homes in older pockets off Severn Road and Donaldson Avenue often have chimneys built in the 1950s and 1960s with original clay tile liners that have never been inspected. Newer developments around Pioneer Drive and Carriage Hill often have prefab systems that need different tools and parts than masonry chimneys. Severn’s terrain is relatively flat, but homes near Severn Run and the Little Patuxent River branches sit on slightly lower, wetter ground, which means below-grade masonry and foundation-adjacent chimney bases can hold moisture longer. None of that is cause for alarm. It just means the job here is rarely a simple brush-through. It means we look at the whole system before we quote, so the price you get is the price you pay.
Our Main Severn Services
Severn homeowners call us most often for two things: an annual chimney sweep to clear creosote and blockages, and a camera inspection when they’re buying, selling, or suspecting hidden damage. All three of our Severn services are documented with a written price before any work starts, and every repair carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise.
Chimney Sweep in Severn
A standard Chimney Sweep in Severn removes creosote, soot, and any debris blocking the flue. In Severn, we regularly find maple and oak twigs, squirrel nests, and even tennis balls in chimneys where the cap has rusted through after years of Maryland humidity. Our sweep sets drop cloths and runs a rotary brush matched to your flue’s shape and liner material. We inspect the flue as we work, so if we see cracks, spalling, or water entry, you know before it becomes a repair problem. Every job ends with a written report and no mess left behind.
Chimney Inspection in Severn
Severn real estate transactions and older homes both push the need for a Chimney Inspection in Severn. We run a camera from the firebox to the crown, which lets us document liner cracks, hidden blockages, and moisture damage that a visual look from the roof simply can’t catch. If we find a problem, you see the footage yourself. Nothing gets recommended off a hunch. If you’re buying a home in Severn, this inspection gives you a documented record that can factor into your contract. If you’ve owned your home for years, it tells you whether you can run another season or need work now.
Chimney Repair in Severn
When a chimney needs work, Chimney Repair in Severn means masonry repair, crown rebuilding, flashing replacement, or full flue relining, replacing the inner liner that channels smoke safely out of the house. Severn’s freeze-thaw cycles crack brick and mortar joints faster than many homeowners expect, and water entry is the leading cause of liner damage. We specify materials by the job, not by margin: DuraFlex liners for relines, HeatShield for restoring damaged flue sections, and Olympia Chimney or Famco caps and dampers where hardware is shot. Every repair gets a written one-year guarantee under the 365-Day Done Right Promise.
