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 Treasure Island, FL
Treasure Island chimney work comes down to one thing: coastal air. Homes here sit within a mile of the Gulf, and that salt-heavy humidity works its way into mortar, flashing, and flue liners faster than it does inland. A chimney that would pass inspection in Tampa might be hiding spalling brick or corroded dampers on the island. Flint Chimney Sweep handles all three core jobs: Chimney Sweep in Treasure Island, Chimney Inspection in Treasure Island, and Chimney Repair in Treasure Island. Call (830) 251-4560 for a written price before any work begins.
Why Treasure Island Homes Are Different
Treasure Island runs about three miles long and a few blocks wide, from the dunes on the Gulf side to the canals and Boca Ciega Bay on the east. Most of the housing stock went up between the 1950s and the 1980s, and it falls into two groups: older concrete-block and wood-frame homes built before hurricane codes tightened, and newer elevated construction set on pilings. Both present chimney realities that mainland crews don’t see as often.
Salt is the main one. On homes along Sunset Beach and the Isle of Palms, stainless steel flashing and caps corrode noticeably within a few years. Masonry chimneys near the water develop efflorescence, the white mineral staining that signals moisture moving through brick. We also contend with wind-driven rain funneling down an uncapped flue during summer squalls, which is common on Treasure Island even on clear days. Homes in the Paradise Island and Capri Isle neighborhoods, bordered by canals, carry extra humidity in the air year-round, which keeps creosote softer but encourages rust on dampers and fireboxes. And on the bay side near Blind Pass, mangrove-stilted lots mean some chimneys sit partially shaded for half the day, holding moisture longer. These aren’t exotic problems; they’re just the daily conditions of island work, and they shape what we look for when we inspect and sweep.
Our Main Treasure Island Services
Most Treasure Island homeowners reach out for one of three reasons: a seasonal sweep before lighting the first fire, a level 2 inspection before buying or selling a home, or a repair after an inspector finds water damage. Here’s what each looks like on the island.
Chimney Sweep in Treasure Island
A standard chimney sweep removes creosote and soot from the flue liner, smoke shelf, damper, and firebox using rotary brushes and a HEPA vacuum. In Treasure Island, we pay particular attention to the screen and cap, because Gulf rains and salt spray corrode them faster than inland. A sweep typically runs $200 – $300, and the written price covers the entire job, including drop cloths and cleanup. Hank Delano, who runs Flint Chimney Sweep, insists every sweep end with a short camera check of the flue, so you can see the result before we pack up. Full details are on the Chimney Sweep in Treasure Island page.
Chimney Inspection in Treasure Island
Chimney inspections come in three levels. A level 1 checks the readily accessible parts of the chimney and flue when nothing has changed since the last service. A level 2 uses a camera to look through the full length of the flue and is the standard before a property changes hands, after a storm, or after any event like a chimney fire. A level 3 gets into concealed areas and usually means partial teardown. On Treasure Island, level 2 inspections frequently turn up rusted dampers and corroded chase covers, which are the two most common storm-related findings. Pricing ranges $150 – $400 depending on the level. See the Chimney Inspection in Treasure Island page for what each level covers, in writing.
Chimney Repair in Treasure Island
Repair work on Treasure Island splits along a pretty clear line: water entry and firebox issues. Water gets in through failed flashing, cracked crowns, rusted chase tops, and unprotected flues. Firebox problems are usually spalling brick, cracked refractory panels, or a damper that won’t hold its position. Repairs range widely, from a $175 – $325 crown resurfacing to a $3,000 – $7,000 flue relining when the liner has thinned. Every repair from Flint Chimney Sweep carries a written guarantee valid for one full year. If a covered repair fails in that period, we return at no charge. That’s the 365-Day Done Right Promise, in writing, every time. The Chimney Repair in Treasure Island page outlines the full scope.

Coastal exposure pushes some Treasure Island bids higher than the mainland baseline, particularly for chase covers and flashing on multi-story homes where staging or ladder work is required. Whatever the figure is, you’ll see it in writing before we touch the roof, and the invoice won’t exceed it.

Most Treasure Island bookings happen within two to five business days. It’s a narrow island, so travel time is short and scheduling is straightforward. Call (830) 251-4560 and a live person will give you the next available window.
It depends on the scope. A standard sweep or inspection rarely needs any approval. Visible exterior changes, like a new cap or chase cover, may fall under your HOA’s architectural review if your community has one. We’ll tell you what’s likely to trigger review before we start, but final approval is between you and the association.
Every repair from Flint Chimney Sweep carries a guarantee valid for one full year from the service date. If a covered repair fails in that period, we return and fix it at no charge. The terms are printed on the invoice, not verbal, so you have them in writing before you pay.
