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 The Colony, TX
Flint Chimney Sweep handles chimney cleaning, inspection, and repair for homes across The Colony, TX. Most of the chimneys we see here are in homes built between the 1990s and early 2010s, so the jobs split into two camps: routine maintenance that keeps a still-solid flue working safely, and older systems that have hit the point where cracked clay liners and rusted caps need real attention. If you’re in The Colony and haven’t had the flue looked at in a few years, call (830) 251-4560 and we’ll get you scheduled.
Why The Colony Homes Are Different
The Colony sits on the eastern shore of Lewisville Lake, and that’s a meaningful detail for chimneys. Homes within a mile or two of the water get more humid air pushing through the flue during the shoulder seasons, and moisture is the single biggest driver of liner damage we see in this area. When warm, damp air meets the inside of a clay flue and then the temperature drops, the expansion and contraction starts hairline cracks that widen year over year.
The housing stock varies enough that no two jobs follow the same script. Older sections of The Colony, particularly around the streets east of Main Street and south of Memorial Drive, were largely built in the 1980s and early 1990s. Those homes often have original clay tile liners that predate modern stainless steel standards. Newer planned sections across Castle Hills, The Tribute, and around Stewart Peninsula feature prefabricated or factory-built chimneys, which have their own failure points: warped caps, failing chase covers, and water intrusion where the flue pipe meets the crown. Neither housing style is bad, but each requires a different inspection approach and a different repair path. That’s one reason we put everything in writing before work starts. The Garrison Standard means you get a documented price and scope, and that applies to every job in The Colony.
Our Main The Colony Services
Most homeowners in The Colony call us for one of three reasons: a sweep they know is overdue, an inspection after buying or selling, or a repair that an inspection already flagged. Each service has its own The Colony page with specifics.
Chimney Sweep in The Colony
A standard chimney sweep here removes creosote and soot buildup from the flue, smoke chamber, damper, and firebox. The Colony’s burning season runs roughly November through February, and we book heavily in October and November as residents fire up their stoves and fireplaces for the first time. Homes near the lake tend to accumulate stiffer creosote because the higher humidity allows deposits to cake onto flue walls rather than stay powdery. We also check the visible portion of the stack for brick spalling and cap damage while we’re up there, so you get an honest read on what’s next. Chimney Sweep in The Colony covers pricing and what to expect.
Chimney Inspection in The Colony
We run inspection cameras through the entire flue, from firebox to cap, and record the footage so you can see exactly what we see. In The Colony, many inspections are tied to real estate transactions. Buyers want proof the chimney isn’t hiding a $3,000 surprise, and sellers want a clean report before listing. We also inspect after storms that roll off Lewisville Lake, because wind-driven rain can enter through a damaged chase cover and soak the interior without ever showing a stain on the ceiling. Chimney Inspection in The Colony breaks down the three inspection levels and what’s included in each.
Chimney Repair in The Colony
Repair work in The Colony ranges from simple fixes like replacing a rusted damper to full flue relining (replacing the inner liner that channels smoke safely out of the house). We specify materials by the job, not by what’s in the truck: DuraFlex liners for relining, HeatShield for restoring spalled clay flues, and Copperfield or Famco components for caps and dampers. Every repair carries a 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If a covered repair fails within a full year, we come back at no charge. That’s just how we operate. Chimney Repair in The Colony lists each repair type and its typical range.

Lakefront proximity and two-story rooflines are the two most common price drivers in The Colony. High-humidity exposure can thicken creosote enough that a sweep takes longer, and taller homes require more ladder time and safety rigging. Whatever the number ends up being, you’ll see it in writing before a single tool comes off the truck.

Most The Colony appointments are scheduled within three to five business days. Our technicians are dispatched from the Dallas-Fort Worth metro office and run a regular route through The Colony, which means we’re rarely more than a short drive from your door during the work week.
Some do, especially for exterior repairs that change visible components like caps, crowns, or chase covers. Interior sweeps and inspections generally don’t need approval. If your HOA has an architectural review process, request approval before we schedule exterior work, and let us know the decision so we can plan the visit around it.
