Chimney sweep logs do not sweep chimneys. They loosen some creosote - which then falls where a brush and vacuum still have to collect it.
Chimney Company in Longmont, CO
Chimney inspection in Longmont starts with the house, not the flue. Old Town’s century-old brick homes carry original masonry chimneys that have seen a hundred winters of freeze-thaw, while the eastern subdivisions built in the 1990s and 2000s run factory-built metal systems and gas inserts that fail at joints and caps. Same city, two completely different jobs. We work in chimneys only, so we carry the tooling for both. Call (855) 632-3564 to book an inspection.
Why Longmont Homes Are Different
Longmont sits on the Front Range where chinook downslopes can swing the temperature 50 degrees in a day. That cycle spalls mortar crowns and chimney caps faster here than in milder climates, and it’s the reason we look at the top of the chimney as carefully as the inside. Then there’s the shoulder-season idle period. A chimney that burns hard through winter and sits unused from spring to fall lets creosote harden into glazed, third-degree deposits that resist standard sweeping by the time fall arrives.
The housing split matters just as much. Old Town Longmont (80501) is dense with pre-1940s brick and Victorian homes whose masonry chimneys are unlined or lined with clay tile and now need relining and crown work. Head east and northeast into 80504 and you’re in 1990s-2000s subdivisions where gas inserts and prefab metal flues dominate, and the wear shows at the liner joints and caps rather than the flue tile. Newer builds in 80503 lean the same way. Certifying one kind of chimney while serving the other takes two skill sets and two sets of tooling, and that’s the reality of working in Longmont.

Our Main Longmont Services
Two jobs bring Longmont homeowners to us most: a sweep to clear what winter left behind, and a repair when the inspection turns something up.
Chimney Sweep in Longmont
A sweep here isn’t one procedure. In Old Town we’re often pulling a damper to check what’s behind it, because wood stoves get retrofitted into original fireplaces without a proper liner more often than people expect. Out in the 80504 subdivisions the work is closer to a factory-built system: cleaning the flue, checking the cap and the joints where metal sections meet. Both end with a camera look so you can see what we saw. For the full rundown, see Chimney Sweep in Longmont.
Chimney Repair in Longmont
Repair in Longmont usually means one of two things. On older masonry, it’s crown work, mortar joints, and relining a flue that’s lost its clay tile. On newer prefab systems, it’s a failed joint or a cap that the temperature swings have pulled apart. We handle restorative liner repair with HeatShield where the flue can be saved, and full relining with DuraFlex or Copperfield systems where it can’t. The right fix depends on what the camera shows. Details live on our Chimney Repair in Longmont page.
Chimney Inspection in Longmont
An inspection in Longmont has to account for two very different housing eras. In Old Town, we’re looking at original masonry chimneys where the question is whether the clay tile liner is still intact or whether a wood stove was retrofitted into the fireplace without one. In the 80504 subdivisions, the question shifts to factory liners and whether their joints and caps have survived the chinook temperature swings. Our Chimney Inspection covers both, with a camera and a photo report you keep.
Fireplace Inspection
The fireplace itself, not just the flue above it, is where a lot of Longmont problems start. Old Town fireplaces in particular are where we find the surprises.
Signs you need it
You’re seeing smoke spill into the room, a damper that won’t seat, or you’ve bought an Old Town home and don’t know what’s behind the fireplace opening.
What it costs in Longmont
A fireplace inspection typically runs $99 to $175, and the written estimate sets the final price.
How we do it
We pull the damper, look up the flue with a camera, check the firebox for cracks and the smoke chamber for buildup, and photograph anything that doesn’t look right.
Chimney Flue Inspection
The flue is the part that carries the risk, and in Longmont its condition depends entirely on which era of house you’re in.
Signs you need it
Glazed creosote from a winter of hard burning, a liner with visible gaps, or a flue that hasn’t been looked at since you moved in.
What it costs in Longmont
Flue inspection is typically $99 to $175 as part of a standard visit, and the written estimate sets the final price.
How we do it
We run a camera the length of the flue, check the tile or metal liner for cracks and joint separation, measure the deposit, and show you the footage before we recommend anything.
What Chimney Inspection Costs in Longmont
| Item | Typical range in Longmont |
|---|---|
| Standard chimney inspection | $99 – $175 |
| Level 2 inspection (camera + photo report) | $150 – $350 |
| Inspection bundled with a sweep | $99 – $175 |
Can a chimney inspection find an illegal wood stove retrofit in Longmont?
Yes. Pulling the damper and running a camera up the flue often reveals a wood stove installed into an Old Town fireplace without a proper liner, or mismatched flue tile behind it. We photograph it so you can see the problem yourself.
Do I need a Level 2 inspection when buying a home in Longmont?
A Level 2 inspection is the right call on a home purchase, especially in Old Town where century-old masonry and past retrofits are common. It goes beyond the visual check with camera work and a photo report. Call (855) 632-3564 for an exact quote.
Brands We Service in Longmont
We supply and install liner and venting products from DuraFlex, Olympia Chimney, and Copperfield, and handle cap and cover solutions from Famco. These are the materials chimney technicians trust, not general hardware store parts. Turnaround depends on the system and what’s in stock at the supplier, and we’ll give you a realistic timeline with the estimate. You can see the full picture on our brands page.

What Longmont Customers Say
"Creosote buildup was worse than I realized. He measured it, showed me the glazing on the flue with the camera, and was honest that we were closer to a chimney fire than I wanted to hear."
- Gabriela Torres"Swept it, capped it, and installed a proper damper. The downdraft smell in the summer that we'd lived with for years is gone."
- Xavier Freeman"Thorough sweep and a clear report. He was running late from the job before and arrived near the end of the window, though he did call to warn me."
