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 Woburn, MA
Flint Chimney Sweep handles chimney cleaning, inspection, and repair across Woburn, MA for homes that run on wood stoves, fireplaces, and oil or gas heating systems. Woburn’s older housing stock, narrow side streets, and New England weather patterns mean chimneys here collect creosote faster and take more weather abuse than newer construction. We give every Woburn homeowner a written price before work starts, and every repair carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. Call (830) 251-4560 for a free estimate.
Why Woburn Homes Are Different
Woburn’s chimney work is shaped by the age and layout of its housing. Many homes around Woburn Center, North Woburn, and the Baldwin Square area date to the early and mid-20th century with masonry chimneys built for coal or wood. Those chimneys often have unlined clay tile flues that crack under decades of heating and cooling cycles. In neighborhoods like Shaker Hill and Rag Rock, homes sit on slopes where wind-driven rain hits one side of the chimney harder than the other, which accelerates mortar erosion. Homes near Horn Pond deal with the same damp air that fogs windows, and that moisture gets into brick and mortar too. The result is creosote buildup in the burning season and spalling brick after winter thaws. We quote Woburn jobs knowing which streets have tight driveway access and which flues likely run offset through older framing.
Our Main Woburn Services
Most Woburn homeowners call us first for one of two things: an annual sweep before burning season, or an inspection because a real estate transaction or a strange smell pushed them to get answers. Here is how each job works in Woburn.
Chimney Sweep in Woburn
A Chimney Sweep in Woburn removes the creosote and soot that build up inside the flue. In Woburn’s older fireplaces, we often find creosote that hardened into a tar-like glaze after years of occasional burning. Our technicians use mechanical brushes sized to the flue, run drop cloths from the firebox to the front door, and leave the hearth cleaner than we found it. We quote the sweep as a flat written price before the truck is unloaded, and we note any cracked tile or water staining we see so nothing gets hidden. See the sweep page for full details and pricing.
Chimney Inspection in Woburn
A Chimney Inspection in Woburn documents the condition of the flue, crown, brickwork, and clearances. Woburn home sales frequently trigger a Level 2 inspection after the home inspector flags a question on the chimney. We use camera equipment to see inside the flue, and we give you a written report with photos so you can see exactly what we saw. No one at Flint recommends a liner or crown rebuild without showing you the camera evidence. Inspections are priced by level, and the same written-price rule applies. Details on the inspection page.
Chimney Repair in Woburn
Our Chimney Repair in Woburn work covers crown repair, brick repointing, flashing, and flue relining – which means replacing the inner liner that channels smoke safely out of the house. Woburn homes with original clay tile liners often need relining after freeze-thaw cycles crack the tile. We work with DuraFlex, HeatShield, and Copperfield materials depending on the appliance and flue size, and every repair we make is covered by the 365-Day Done Right Promise: a written guarantee valid for one full year, with a free return visit if the repair fails. See the repair page for the full scope and guarantee language.
