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 Walpole, MA
Flint Chimney Sweep handles chimney cleaning, inspection, and repair work across Walpole, MA, and we do it with a written price before any tools come off the truck. Walpole is a town of older colonials, capes, and raised ranches, many built between the 1940s and 1980s, and those chimneys see real New England weather every year. Freeze-thaw cycles, heavy snow loads, and decades of wood burning leave deposits that a standard sweep removes before they become a fire hazard. Call (830) 251-4560 for a straight answer and a free estimate.
Why Walpole Homes Are Different
Walpole sits in Norfolk County, where winters throw everything at a chimney: snow, ice, rain, then a thaw that lets water into every small crack in the crown or mortar joint. That cycle is harder on masonry than a steady freeze would be. Homes near the town center and along Washington Street and Main Street trend older, with clay tile liners that have been absorbing heat and creosote for fifty or sixty years. Those liners crack, and once they do, smoke and carbon monoxide have a path into the house instead of up the flue.
We see a lot of single-flue chimneys on capes and ranches in the East Walpole and South Walpole neighborhoods, where the chimney runs up through the center of the house rather than an exterior wall. That interior run keeps the flue warmer, which is good, but it also means any repair work requires access through living space, so we plan around floors and furniture. Homes built in newer subdivisions off Route 1A and Route 27 tend to have factory-built chimneys with sheet metal flues, which need a different inspection approach than a full masonry stack.
The town also has older homes with shallow hearths and unlined chimneys in spots where the building code has changed since they went up. When we find an unlined flue on an inspection, we document it with photos and explain exactly what the repair involves before any quote is written. That is the only honest way to do it.
Our Main Walpole Services
Walpole homeowners call us most often for chimney sweeps and inspections, usually before the first fire of the season, and for repairs after an inspection turns up damage.
Chimney Sweep in Walpole
A standard Chimney Sweep in Walpole removes the creosote and soot that build up from wood fires, and it is the single most direct way to prevent a chimney fire. In Walpole, we routinely pull out glazed creosote from oak and maple burned a season too wet, which takes a little longer than a light soot sweep. We protect the floors around the fireplace, run a rotary or brush system sized to the flue, and leave the firebox clean when we go. A sweep here typically runs $189 to $329 depending on flue condition and access.
Chimney Inspection in Walpole
A Chimney Inspection in Walpole is how we find problems before smoke or carbon monoxide finds them first. In Walpole, most calls are Level 1 inspections for annual maintenance or when a house changes hands, and Level 2 inspections after a chimney fire or when a homeowner switches from a wood stove back to an open fireplace. Every inspection includes a written report with photos of anything we find, so you are not taking our word for it. You are looking at the same camera footage we are.
Chimney Repair in Walpole
Chimney Repair in Walpole covers everything from a cracked crown to a full flue relining. The most common repairs we make in Walpole are crown replacement, mortar joint repointing, and flue liner repair using HeatShield or a DuraFlex liner, depending on what the flue needs. Every repair we quote gets a written price before we start and carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise: a written guarantee valid for one full year, with a free return visit if a covered repair fails. That is the standard, not the exception.
