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 Tomball, TX
A standard chimney sweep in Tomball typically runs $189 – $289, and a Level 2 inspection (the one most real estate transactions require) usually lands between $275 and $450 depending on roof access and creosote buildup. Tomball’s mix of 1970s – 1990s brick ranchers and newer builds along FM 2920 means chimneys here see everything from original clay flue tiles to prefab metal systems. We’re Flint Chimney Sweep, and we put every Tomball job’s price, scope, and one-year guarantee in writing before a single tool comes off the truck. Call (830) 251-4560 to talk with a live person about your chimney.
Why Tomball Homes Are Different
Tomball sits on the northern edge of the Houston metro’s humid subtropical zone, and that moisture works on chimneys year-round. Brick absorbs rain from spring’s heavy storms, then summer’s heat bakes it dry, and the cycle repeats. We regularly see spalling brick faces and deteriorating mortar joints on 30- and 40-year-old chimneys within two miles of Main Street, particularly in the older subdivisions around Hufsmith Road where original construction dates back before 2000. Wood-burning fireplaces in Tomball also accumulate creosote differently than coastal homes because cooler winter nights north of Cypress Creek mean longer, slower burns and more condensation inside the flue.
The housing stock varies enough that no two Tomball jobs are identical. A canal-front home off Shaw Road may have a full masonry chimney with a custom cap, while a two-story off Northpointe Boulevard often has a factory-built metal pipe routed through the attic. That means the right sweep-removal method, inspection camera angle, and repair spec all change house to house. We price by the chimney itself, not by a “typical Tomball” rate.
Our Main Tomball Services
Most Tomball homeowners call us first about two things: a fireplace that smokes into the room, or a chimney they have not opened up in years and want checked before burning season. Here is how we handle each in Tomball.
Chimney Sweep in Tomball
A chimney sweep in Tomball means removing the creosote and soot from the flue walls, smoke shelf, damper assembly, and firebox, then vacuuming every surface those deposits touch. Tomball’s humid spring and fall seasons make creosote sticky rather than flaky, so we use rotary brushes sized to your exact flue dimensions instead of generic sweeps. Before we start, you get a written price. After we finish, the hearth and surrounding floor get drop-clothed and cleaned. See our Chimney Sweep in Tomball page for the full procedure and pricing.
Chimney Inspection in Tomball
Tomball’s older brick chimneys hide problems well: a hairline crack behind the drywall, a rusted damper plate, or a clay tile shifted by a settling foundation. Our chimney inspections run a camera through the full flue and document what we find with photos you receive the same day. When a home sale is involved, Tomball inspectors and lenders typically ask for a Level 2 inspection, and we provide the written report every party needs. Details on all three inspection levels are on our Chimney Inspection in Tomball page.
Chimney Repair in Tomball
Repair work in Tomball splits roughly between masonry (crown rebuilds, brick repointing, cap replacement) and flue work (liner replacement with DuraFlex or HeatShield systems, or smoke chamber parging). Every Tomball repair we quote includes a written one-year guarantee under the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If a covered repair fails inside that window, we return and fix it at no charge. Our Chimney Repair in Tomball page spells out exactly what is and is not covered.

FAQs About Chimney Company in Tomball
Scheduling in Tomball is usually within a few business days depending on weather and how many inspections are in the queue that week. Fireplace and chimney work is not a good match for “two-hour arrival” promises because every job starts with a set-up and safety check. Call (830) 251-4560 and a live person will tell you the earliest open slot rather than sending you to voicemail.
Some Tomball HOAs with architectural review rules require written notice before visible exterior work like a chase cover replacement or a cap that changes the roofline. Your HOA’s covenants will state what counts as a modification. We can provide the written scope-of-work document your board will ask for, but the approval itself sits with the HOA.
Yes. Older brick chimneys in Tomball’s center often have original clay liners and hand-set masonry that newer construction does not have. We inspect them with the same camera equipment we use on modern prefab systems, and our repair quotes reflect what the chimney actually needs rather than a generic standard.
