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 Temple City, CA
Flint Chimney Sweep handles chimney cleaning, inspection, and repair across Temple City, CA. Most jobs here involve single-family homes built between the 1940s and 1970s, where masonry chimneys have decades of Southern California use behind them. Temple City sits far enough inland that fireplaces see real seasonal use from November through February, which means creosote builds up faster than homeowners often expect. You can reach our Temple City scheduling line at (830) 251-4560 for a written quote before any work begins.
Why Temple City Homes Are Different
Temple City’s housing stock runs heavily toward ranch-style and mid-century single-story homes, and many original chimneys are still in place. That matters because a chimney built in 1962 was laid with materials and clearances that do not always match what today’s sweep standards call for, especially around the firebox and the flue connection. We see tile-lined masonry chimneys in a large share of Temple City inspections, and those tiles crack over time from repeated heating and cooling cycles. The local climate plays a part too: Temple City gets warm, dry summers and cool, occasionally damp winters, and that swing puts stress on mortar joints. Hairline cracks let moisture in, and moisture plus heat is what turns a small repair into a large one. Homes in the areas around Temple City Boulevard and Las Tunas Drive show the full range here, from original 1950s fireplaces to newer prefabricated units. Our crews come out of the Los Angeles office and serve Temple City locally, so we know which neighborhoods tend to have which chimney types before we ring the doorbell.
Our Main Temple City Services
The two calls we get most from Temple City homeowners are for a standard sweep before burn season and for an inspection after a roof repair or a big storm. Each service has its own full page below.
Chimney Sweep in Temple City
A Chimney Sweep in Temple City means removing the creosote and soot that have built up inside the flue so exhaust can exit the house the way it should. In Temple City, many fireplaces get heavy use between December and February, and the creosote layer left behind is exactly what a chimney fire feeds on. Our sweep includes drop cloths, a HEPA-filtered vacuum, and a written report of what came out and what we saw inside. We typically finish a standard single-flue sweep in about an hour to ninety minutes.
Chimney Inspection in Temple City
Chimney Inspection in Temple City is the right call after a storm, before you buy a home, or when you have not used the fireplace in a few years. Temple City’s older tile liners hide cracks that you cannot see from the hearth, and an inspection with a camera finds them before smoke finds its own way out. We document what we see with photos and give you a written condition report. If everything is sound, you hear that plainly. If work is needed, you get a written price for exactly that work and nothing else.
Chimney Repair in Temple City
Chimney Repair in Temple City covers everything from a cracked chimney crown to a full flue relining, which means replacing the inner liner that channels smoke safely out of the house. Temple City’s older chimneys often need flue tile repairs or mortar repointing around the top rows of brick. We work with HeatShield, DuraFlex, and Copperfield products depending on what the flue shape and fuel type call for. Every repair we do in Temple City carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing.
