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.

Why Tequesta Homes Are Different
Tequesta sits at the northern edge of Palm Beach County, where the Atlantic air mixes with the Loxahatchee River’s humidity. That means two things for chimneys: salt-laden air accelerates corrosion on metal caps and flashings, and the damp, warm conditions keep creosote from hardening the way it does in colder, drier climates. Instead of flaking off during a sweep, creosote here often comes out in thick, tar-like sheets that take longer to remove properly.
Housing stock across Tequesta runs older than most of South Florida. Many homes in Tequesta Trace, Riverbend, and Tequesta Country Club were built between the 1960s and 1980s, before stainless steel liners became standard. Those older masonry chimneys are more likely to have cracked clay tile liners or missing mortar joints, which is why inspectors here pay closer attention to internal liner condition than they might elsewhere. The village’s building department also requires permits for structural chimney repairs, which we handle as part of the job.
Our Main Tequesta Services
Most homeowners in Tequesta call us for one of two things: a routine chimney sweep before the cooler months, or an inspection after they notice water staining or a smokey smell in the living room. Here’s what each involves.
Chimney Sweep in Tequesta
A standard Chimney Sweep in Tequesta removes built-up soot and creosote from the flue, smoke shelf, damper, and firebox. In Tequesta, humidity means creosote often presents as a sticky glaze rather than a dry powder, so our technicians spend extra time breaking down those deposits with rotary brushes and hand tools. We lay drop cloths, run a HEPA vacuum, and leave the hearth cleaner than we found it. A standard sweep runs $189 – $269, and you’ll get a written price before we start.
Chimney Inspection in Tequesta
An Chimney Inspection in Tequesta is a camera-fed look at the entire flue, from firebox to crown. Given the salt air near the Loxahatchee and the age of many Tequesta homes, we check for rusted dampers, spalling brick, cracked flue tiles, and water intrusion at the crown and flashing. You get a photo report with every inspection, so you can see exactly what we saw. Level 1 inspections run $199 – $279; Level 2 with video typically runs $349 – $499.
Chimney Repair in Tequesta
Chimney Repair in Tequesta covers everything from a cracked crown to a full flue relining (replacing the inner liner that channels smoke safely out of the house). Coastal moisture makes crown and flashing repairs a recurring need here. We use HeatShield and DuraFlex products for liner work, and every repair carries the Garrison Standard: a one-year written guarantee, with a free return visit if a covered repair fails. No repair gets recommended without camera evidence you can see.
