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 Wilmer, TX
Flint Chimney Sweep handles chimney cleaning, inspection, and repair for homeowners throughout Wilmer, TX. Most Wilmer homes were built to handle North Texas weather, but that weather is exactly what beats on a chimney year after year: summer heat bakes the masonry, fall winds drop debris into the flue, and the occasional ice storm stresses the crown and cap. We give every Wilmer job a written price before any work starts, and every repair carries a full-year written guarantee. Call (830) 251-4560 to get scheduled.
Why Wilmer Homes Are Different
Wilmer sits in the path of the same wet-dry cycles that work on brick and mortar across the southern Dallas County prairie. Summers push temperatures over 100 degrees and dry out chimney masonry until hairline cracks form. Then a hard rain soaks into those cracks, expands, and widens them. Repeat that for a few seasons and you get spalling brick and a crown that lets water in. That is not a cosmetic problem. Water inside a chimney is how you end up with a rusted damper, a deteriorated flue liner, and a repair bill that could have been avoided with a $250 sweep and inspection. Wilmer’s housing stock is also a mix of older ranch-style homes along Marsalis Avenue and newer construction east of I-45, and those two groups age differently. Older masonry chimneys with clay tile liners need closer watching than the factory-built units in newer subdivisions. The clay tiles crack under repeated heating and cooling. The factory units rust at the chase top. Either way, the fix starts with a real inspection, and that is what we do before recommending a single repair.
Our Main Wilmer Services
The two calls we get most from Wilmer homeowners are sweeps and inspections, and repair work almost always follows one of those. Here is how each one works in Wilmer.
Chimney Sweep in Wilmer
A standard chimney sweep in Wilmer runs between $179 and $249 depending on the flue type and how much creosote has built up. Homes that burn wood regularly through the winter stack creosote faster than occasional-use fireplaces, and Wilmer’s wet spring and fall mean whatever sat in the flue through the off-season has had time to set. We run brushes and rods through the full flue, remove the creosote and soot, clean the smoke chamber, and leave the firebox swept and the hearth covered. Every sweep ends with a visual check of the crown, cap, and damper. Full details are on the Chimney Sweep in Wilmer page.
Chimney Inspection in Wilmer
Chimney inspections in Wilmer follow NFPA 211 standards, which define three levels. A Level 1 runs $199 and covers the accessible parts of the fireplace and flue when nothing has changed since the last check. A Level 2 runs $399 and includes camera scanning of the flue interior, which is what you want after a chimney fire, before a real estate closing, or if you have never had the chimney looked at. We bring a camera on every inspection truck in Wilmer and show you the footage. If we find a crack or a failed liner, you see it on the screen before we quote a fix.

Chimney Repair in Wilmer
The repairs we do most often around Wilmer are crown resealing, damper replacement, and flue relining. Crown repair runs $350 to $850 depending on the extent of the cracking and the size of the crown. Flue relining, where we install a new inner liner that channels smoke safely out of the house, runs $2,900 to $6,500 depending on flue height and liner material. A standard damper replacement runs $350 to $650. Every repair gets a written price before the work starts and a written one-year guarantee on the workmanship. We use materials from DuraFlex, HeatShield, and Olympia Chimney, chosen by job, not by margin. See the Chimney Repair in Wilmer page for full pricing and scope.

Pricing for Chimney Company in Wilmer, TX
| Service | Typical range in Wilmer |
|---|---|
| Standard chimney sweep | $179 – $249 |
| Level 1 inspection | $199 |
| Level 2 inspection (camera scan) | $399 |
| Crown repair | $350 – $850 |
| Damper replacement | $350 – $650 |
| Chimney cap supply and installation | $250 – $550 |
| Flue relining | $2,900 – $6,500 |
| Firebox repair | $600 – $1,800 |
What moves a Wilmer job toward the top of those ranges is mostly flue height and access. A two-story chimney on a steep roof pitch takes longer to set up on, and a flue that has gone years without a sweep needs more passes to come clean. Whatever the number ends up being, it is on paper before we start, and the invoice matches the written quote.
