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 Westview, FL
Flint Chimney Sweep handles chimney cleaning, inspection, and repair across Westview, FL, with written pricing delivered before any work begins. Most Westview homes we see run chimneys hard through the winter months, and the combination of humid summers and salty air moving in off the coast accelerates creosote buildup and masonry wear faster than homeowners expect. Call (830) 251-4560 to schedule a sweep or inspection, and you’ll get a live person on the line, not a voicemail tree.
Why Westview Homes Are Different
Westview sits just inland from the South Florida coast, which means chimney systems here contend with two things at once. First, the humidity never really lets up, and moisture gets into brick and mortar the same way it gets into everything else in this climate: slowly, then visibly. Second, the salt-laden air that rolls in off the Atlantic speeds up the rust on damper assemblies, caps, and flashing. We see chimneys in Westview that look fine from the living room floor but show pitting and corrosion up top within a few years.
Most of the housing stock here runs from the 1960s through the 1990s, and a good number of those homes were built with masonry chimneys and clay tile liners. That matters because those liners are now at or past the age where cracks and spalling become common. When we inspect a Westview chimney, we’re looking specifically for the wet-climate failure points: deteriorating mortar crowns, rusted chase covers on prefab units, and liner cracks that let heat and gases get where they shouldn’t.
Our Main Westview Services
Westview homeowners call us most often for two things: an annual sweep ahead of the season and an inspection when a home is changing hands or a fireplace starts behaving oddly. Repair work usually follows an inspection. Here’s what each looks like in Westview.
Chimney Sweep in Westview
A sweep in Westview removes the creosote and soot that builds up on the flue walls each burning season. In this climate, we’re also clearing debris: damp leaves, nesting material, and the kind of coastal grit that finds its way down an uncapped flue. The work is done with brushes sized to your flue, and we cover the hearth and surrounding floor before the first tool comes off the truck. Chimney Sweep in Westview pricing and seasonal timing are on the service page.
Chimney Inspection in Westview
An inspection gives you a written condition report with photos, so you can see exactly what we see. In Westview, we’re typically looking at the top-down moisture issues first: crown condition, cap fit, and flashing where the chimney meets the roof. Then we move inside for liner condition and flue clearance. If you’re buying or selling a home in Westview, a Level 2 inspection is what lenders and insurers ask for most. Chimney Inspection in Westview details what each level covers.
Chimney Repair in Westview
Repair work in Westview runs from simple cap replacements to full flue relining. The Coastal climate means we do a lot of crown rebuilding and chase-cover replacement here. Liner work is where the camera inspection matters: you’ll see the crack or gap yourself before we recommend anything. Every repair we do carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing, and if a covered repair fails within that year, we return at no charge. Chimney Repair in Westview spells out what’s covered and what’s not.
