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 Westgate, FL
Most chimney work in Westgate follows the same rhythm as the climate: short, mild winters mean fireplaces get used lightly for a few months, then sit dormant through long, humid stretches. That pattern creates specific problems: creosote that never fully burns off, damp masonry, and critters that move in during the off-season. Flint Chimney Sweep handles all three, with written pricing before work starts and a 365-day guarantee on every repair. Call (830) 251-4560 and a live person answers, any hour.
Why Westgate Homes Are Different
Westgate sits in Palm Beach County, where the dominant chimney issue is not heavy soot but moisture. High humidity and frequent afternoon rains work into brick and mortar year-round, which means a chimney that looks fine from the street may be quietly spalling behind the cap. Homes here skew older, with many built in the 1970s and 1980s, and we regularly see original clay flue liners showing their age in those structures. Cracks that would be a nuisance in a dry climate become a carbon monoxide path in a Florida summer, when air pressure differences make backdrafting more common.
Another Westgate reality: because winters are short, birds and squirrels get long stretches with no heat chasing them out. We pull nests, screens, and sometimes entire skeletons from flues that were swept clean six months earlier. It is a routine part of the job here, and it is one reason we recommend an inspection even if you have not used the fireplace since last January. The masonry does not care that the season was brief.
Our Main Westgate Services
Most Westgate homeowners reach out for one of two reasons: they see debris or smell something odd, or they are buying or selling a home and need documented inspection. Below is how each works here.
Chimney Sweep in Westgate
A Chimney Sweep in Westgate typically removes creosote, soot, and whatever wildlife left behind, using brushes sized to the flue and a HEPA vacuum to keep dust out of the living room. In Westgate, where humidity glues debris to the flue walls, we also check the damper and cap for rust more closely than we would in a drier market. The sweep itself usually runs $149 to $229, and the written price is in your hand before the brushes come off the truck.
Chimney Inspection in Westgate
A Chimney Inspection in Westgate runs $249 to $499, and in our view it is the most important chimney service in this particular climate. We camera-scan the full interior and document every crack, gap, and water stain with photos. Westgate real estate transactions have been moving briskly, and we do more pre-sale and pre-purchase inspections here than in most markets we serve. You get a written report, not a phone call with vague warnings.
Chimney Repair in Westgate
Chimney Repair in Westgate covers everything from crown resealing and flashing replacement to full flue relining with HeatShield or DuraFlex. Moisture is the common thread in almost every Westgate repair job, so we always address the water entry point before anything else. Every repair carries a one-year written guarantee, and if a covered repair fails inside that year, we come back at no charge. That is the standard, in writing, on every invoice.

You will always see the number before any work begins, and the number on the invoice will be the same number you approved.
