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 Sunset, FL
Chimney cleaning in Sunset typically runs $149 to $219 for a standard sweep, and most homeowners book it as part of a larger seasonal checkup. Sunset’s mix of 1960s ranch homes and newer two-story builds means chimneys here face two distinctly different wear patterns: older masonry fireplaces with decades of creosote buildup, and newer prefabricated units that need factory-spec cleaning methods. If you’re looking for a Sunset chimney company that puts the price in writing before the work starts, call Flint Chimney Sweep at (830) 251-4560.
Why Sunset Homes Are Different
Sunset sits at the western edge of the Miami metro, where humidity and salt air work on chimney masonry year-round. We see spalling brick and rusted dampers here more often than in drier inland communities. Homes along SW 72nd Street and the neighborhoods branching off Sunset Drive tend to have original clay flue liners from the 1960s and 70s, which crack after decades of Florida’s heat-and-rain cycles. Even chimneys attached to homes that rarely see a fire still collect debris, nesting material, and moisture damage that a visual check from the ground won’t catch.
The housing stock matters for how we work. A fireplace in a single-story Sunset ranch has a shorter flue run and different draft behavior than one in a two-story home near the Snapper Creek area. We account for that before we quote. Homeowners here also deal with HOA rules in several Sunset subdivisions that require an annual inspection record before fireplace season. We document everything in writing so that’s easy to produce.
One more thing: Sunset’s afternoon thunderstorms roll in fast, and a chimney with a rusted cap or cracked crown lets that water straight into the firebox. That’s the most common repair trigger we see, and it’s almost always preventable with a scheduled sweep and check.
Our Main Sunset Services
Most Sunset homeowners call us for one of three jobs. Each has its own page with local pricing and specifics, but here’s the short version of what each involves in this area.
Chimney Sweep in Sunset
A standard sweep in Sunset removes creosote, soot, and whatever South Florida wildlife has left behind. In this climate, we also check for moisture intrusion while we’re in there, because a wet flue is a bigger problem than a dirty one here. The job includes a full inspection of the accessible flue surfaces and a written report of what we found. For pricing and what to expect, see the full Chimney Sweep in Sunset page.
Chimney Inspection in Sunset
An inspection in Sunset is a documented, camera-based look at the entire flue system. We photograph everything, so you see exactly what we see. That matters in Sunset, where salt-air corrosion and hidden flue cracks are common and most homeowners have never looked inside their chimney since buying the house. We explain what’s cosmetic and what needs attention, in plain words. Details and levels of inspection are on the Chimney Inspection in Sunset page.
Chimney Repair in Sunset
Repair work in Sunset ranges from replacing a rusted damper to full flue relining. The humidity and rain here accelerate rust on metal components, so we specify corrosion-resistant materials where practical, including DuraFlex and Olympia Chimney components. Every repair we do in Sunset includes a written, one-year guarantee from Flint Chimney Sweep. The scope, price, and guarantee terms are on the Chimney Repair in Sunset page.
