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 Tamiami, FL
Flint Chimney Sweep handles chimney cleaning, inspection, and repair across Tamiami, FL with a straight-forward rule: the price we quote in writing before work starts is the price you pay. Tamiami homes sit low and flat, minutes from the Everglades, which means humidity works on masonry and metal flues year-round even when a fireplace barely gets used. That combination of moisture and occasional cold snaps creates creosote buildup, cracked crown mortar, and rusted dampers faster than most homeowners expect. If you need a chimney company in Tamiami that shows up inside the window, works clean, and stands behind repairs for a full year, call (830) 251-4560.
Why Tamiami Homes Are Different
That matters because clay liners crack from thermal shock, and once cracked, they let heat and gases reach the surrounding masonry. We see the result often in neighborhoods like Tamiami Lakes and the streets off SW 8th Street: spalled bricks, flaking mortar joints, and rust streaks below the chimney cap. Flat terrain and steady easterly winds off the Glades also push smoke downward in short chimneys, which makes draft problems more common here than in two-story neighborhoods. Homeowners who rarely use their fireplaces still need annual inspections, because moisture does as much damage as fire. HOA communities around Tamiami, including several gated sections near Kendall, typically require chimney work to be done by a licensed and insured contractor, and Flint Chimney Sweep carries both.
Our Main Tamiami Services
Most Tamiami homeowners contact us for one of two reasons: a chimney that has not been swept in years, or a chimney that failed an inspection or started leaking. Each service has its own Tamiami page with full details and pricing.
Chimney Sweep in Tamiami
A standard Chimney Sweep in Tamiami removes creosote, soot, and any nesting debris from the flue, smoke chamber, and firebox. In Tamiami, we often find rusted damper assemblies and heavy glazing from fires burned with damp or unseasoned wood. The job includes a full work-area drop cloth, a HEPA-filtered vacuum, and a written condition report once the flue is clean. We never upsell off the sweep. If the camera shows a problem, you see the image before any repair is discussed.
Chimney Inspection in Tamiami
A Chimney Inspection in Tamiami is the shortest path to knowing whether a chimney is safe to use. We run a camera through the flue and document liner cracks, missing mortar, water intrusion, and clearance issues in a photo report you keep. In Tamiami, where rust and moisture damage are the dominant failure modes, this inspection catches problems that a bare-eye look from the rooftop will miss. You get a straight answer: use it, repair it, or close it off.
Chimney Repair in Tamiami
When an inspection turns up damage, Chimney Repair in Tamiami covers everything from crown resealing and flashing replacement to full flue relining (replacing the inner liner that channels smoke safely out of the house). Tamiami’s humidity accelerates rust on metal chimney components, so we specify stainless liners and galvanized caps rather than cheaper materials that fail in a couple of seasons. Every repair carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing: if a covered repair fails within one year, we return at no charge.

In Tamiami, the main cost drivers are access and existing water damage. Two-story homes or steep roof pitches add setup time, and a rusted damper or cracked crown often doubles the scope once we are inside. Whatever the number is, it comes to you in writing before any work starts. If the invoice does not match the approved quote, that is our problem, not yours.
