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 The Acreage Homes Are Different
The Acreage is unincorporated Palm Beach County, which means no single municipal building department watches every chimney the way a city would. Most homes sit on one-acre or larger lots, many built in the 1980s and 1990s when masonry fireplaces were standard. The subtropical climate does specific things here: summer humidity pushes moisture into brick and mortar, afternoon thunderstorms cycle wet-dry stress through chimney crowns, and the flat terrain means wind-driven rain hits chimney caps at full force. We also see a lot of wood-burning fireplaces used seasonally from November through February, then ignored for eight months. That pattern lets creosote sit, moisture accumulate, and small cracks widen. Homes off roads like Orange Boulevard, 140th Avenue North, and Sycamore Drive often have older masonry chimneys that were built before current flashing standards existed, so we check the roofline joint carefully on almost every job.
Our Main The Acreage Services
Most Acreage homeowners call us first for a sweep or an inspection, then move into repair work only if the camera shows something that needs it. Here’s what each service involves locally.
Chimney Sweep in The Acreage
A standard chimney sweep in The Acreage removes creosote, soot, and any debris that’s collected since the last burn season. We run brushes sized to your flue, contain the dust, and leave the hearth clean. Because so many homes here burn oak and other hardwoods through the winter, we often find glazed creosote, which takes longer and costs more than a basic sweep. We also check the cap and crown while we’re up there, since The Acreage’s summer storms punish exposed masonry. See Chimney Sweep in The Acreage for full pricing and what to expect.
Chimney Inspection in The Acreage
An inspection in The Acreage usually starts with a camera run through the flue, because you can’t see flue cracks or hidden creosote from the firebox. We look at the liner, the smoke chamber, the crown, the flashing, and the cap. On older masonry chimneys, we’re specifically looking for moisture intrusion at the crown and spalling brick below the roofline. Every inspection includes a written report with photos so you can see exactly what we saw. Learn what each inspection level covers at Chimney Inspection in The Acreage.
Chimney Repair in The Acreage
Repairs in The Acreage range from crown resealing and cap replacement to full flue relining. The high humidity and storm exposure here mean crowns crack and mortar joints erode faster than drier climates. When we recommend a repair, you get a written scope of work and a written price before anything starts, and every repair carries our one-year guarantee. If a covered repair fails within that year, we return at no charge. Details on crowns, flashing, and liners are at Chimney Repair in The Acreage.
