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 University Park, TX
Flint Chimney Sweep handles chimney cleaning, inspection, and repair across University Park, TX, with a straightforward approach: a written price before any work starts, background-checked technicians in uniform, and a full-year guarantee on every repair. University Park homes skew older, with a lot of brick construction and masonry fireplaces that have been through decades of Texas weather swings. If your chimney hasn’t been looked at in a while, call (830) 251-4560 and we’ll tell you exactly what it needs.
Why University Park Homes Are Different
University Park’s housing stock runs heavily toward homes built between the 1920s and 1960s, many with original masonry chimneys. That matters because clay tile liners from that era crack after enough heating and cooling cycles, and North Texas gets plenty of both: hot, humid summers followed by genuine cold snaps each winter. When temperatures swing fast, the mortar joints between flue tiles flex and start to spall, which is exactly what we look for during an inspection.
The neighborhood layout matters too. Streets around the SMU campus and the Park Cities area are tight, with mature trees close to rooflines. That changes how we set up ladders, how we route brush rods, and how careful we have to be about creosote debris getting into landscaping. A lot of University Park homes also have taller chimneys on two-story traditional brick builds, so we carry extension rods and ridge-safe equipment as standard on every truck. HOAs in the area sometimes require notice before roof-level work, but that’s between you and your association – we just show up when scheduled and get the chimney done right.
Our Main University Park Services
Most University Park homeowners call us for one of three jobs. Each has its own page with pricing detail, what to expect, and the specific way we handle it locally.
Chimney Sweep in University Park
A chimney sweep in University Park means removing the creosote and soot buildup inside your flue so your fireplace drafts properly and burns safely. Homes here that fire the fireplace even a dozen times a winter can build up enough glaze creosote to be a fire risk, especially in older unlined chimneys. We run professional brushes sized to your flue, contain all debris, and leave the hearth cleaner than we found it. Full details are on the Chimney Sweep in University Park page.
Chimney Inspection in University Park
A camera inspection is the only way to know what’s actually happening inside a chimney that’s 40, 60, or 80 years old. In University Park, we regularly find cracked tile liners, missing mortar at the smoke shelf, and water damage at the crown – none of which show up from the outside. Every inspection comes with a written report and photo evidence, so you see what we see before you spend a dollar on repairs. Details are on the Chimney Inspection in University Park page.
Chimney Repair in University Park
When an inspection turns up real damage, the repair work runs from crown sealing and flue resurfacing to full flue relining with HeatShield or a DuraFlex liner. Older University Park chimneys often need tuckpointing at the top courses where decades of rain have eaten the mortar. We quote the repair in writing, use materials specified by the job, and back the work with our 365-Day Done Right Promise. Full scope and pricing live on the Chimney Repair in University Park page.

What moves the price in University Park is chimney height and access. A two-story chimney on a steep roof pitch takes longer to set up and work on, and that’s reflected in the quote. Every price is written down and handed to you before any work begins, so the number on the invoice matches the number you approved.
