Chimney sweep logs do not sweep chimneys. They loosen some creosote - which then falls where a brush and vacuum still have to collect it.
Fast, Reliable Chimney Sweep Across Davie
A standard chimney sweep in Davie typically runs $189 – $279 for a single flue with a standard fireplace.

Why Flint Chimney Co Fort Lauderdale Is Davie’s Preferred Chimney Sweep Company
We’re part of the Garrison Partners family, founded in 2002, and we run every Davie job under The Garrison Standard: written scope, written price, and a written guarantee before the first tool leaves the truck. Homeowners in Davie have dealt with enough no-show crews and door-price surprises. Our process removes that.
Every Davie call gets a background-checked, uniformed technician who arrives inside the window we give you. Our phones are answered by a live person 24/7, not a voicemail tree. That matters when you’ve got smoke backing into the living room on a January night.
We’ve cleaned flues in Shenandoah, Forest Ridge, and out west near the rural equestrian parcels. What we see there is different from what we see in Oakland Park or Lauderdale-by-the-Sea. That local pattern is the reason we stock the parts and liners Davie homes actually need, instead of waiting on a distributor order.

Chimney Services in Davie
Chimney Services in Davie means dealing with heavy creosote from wood stoves, animal intrusion from mature live oaks, and humidity damage on 1970s masonry crowns. A full sweep plus inspection on a typical Davie single-family home runs $189 – $279. If we’re removing a squirrel nest or clearing a blocked flue, you’re looking at an additional $75 – $180 depending on what’s in there and how far up it goes.
We walk the roof, run the brushes, vacuum the firebox and smoke shelf, and hand you a camera report of the flue interior. You see what we see. Nothing gets recommended without photo evidence you can look at yourself.
Creosote and Soot Removal
Burning unseasoned oak from your own lot in Davie creates first-degree creosote fast. Within one winter you can have a quarter-inch of flaky, tarry buildup that would ignite at 451°F. We remove it by hand and with rotary brushes, then show you the after photos. If what we find is third-degree glaze, that’s a different conversation. You’ll see the camera footage before we recommend anything.
Annual Sweep and Fireplace Cleaning
If you burn wood during Davie’s cold snaps, once a year is the minimum. Homes that use a wood stove as primary heat may need two sweeps per burning season. We’ll tell you which applies to your situation and write the recommended interval on your service report. Call (754) 354-1430 and we’ll get you scheduled before the next front moves through.

Chimney Sweep Certified in Davie
Chimney Sweep Certified in Davie is a claim we make because we inspect and document, not just sweep. The certification matters less than the process: pre-job photos, mid-job findings, post-job camera verification, and a written report left with you. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and every repair carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise, a written guarantee valid for one full year. If a covered repair fails within that year, we return at no charge. No argument.
Level 1 and Level 2 Inspections
A Level 1 inspection covers the accessible portions of your chimney and is included with every standard sweep in Davie. A Level 2 inspection uses camera equipment to inspect the full flue interior, and it’s what we recommend when a home has changed hands, a new appliance is being installed, or a chimney fire has occurred. In Davie, Level 2 inspections on 1970s-1990s homes commonly turn up spalled crowns, missing mortar joints, and unlined flues. If those aren’t caught before the first fire, they become bigger bills.
Flue Relining and Damper Replacement
Flue relining (replacing the inner liner that channels smoke safely out of the house) is a common fix here. Older Davie masonry chimneys often lack a modern liner. We install stainless liners from DuraFlex and specify the size to the appliance, not to what’s convenient. Damper replacement is straightforward and stops draft loss when the fireplace is sitting idle. Both carry the full written-year guarantee.
Trusted Brands We Service in Davie
We install and service products from DuraFlex, Copperfield, and HeatShield. These are professional trade brands, not big-box retail parts, and we specify them by job. That means a DuraFlex relining system on a rural Davie wood stove flue, a Copperfield damper in a 1980s ranch fireplace, or HeatShield resurfacing on a spalled flue. We keep common components stocked for Davie service calls, which shortens turnaround when a liner or damper needs replacement before burning season. You get the parts the job calls for, not whatever is left on the truck.
Common Chimney Sweep Problems We See in Davie Homes
- First-degree creosote from wood stoves: Rural Davie properties that burn oak from the back lot as primary heat build a quarter-inch of sticky creosote in a single season. By February, that’s a chimney fire waiting to happen. An annual sweep is not optional in these homes; it’s the minimum.
- Squirrels and bird nests in idle flues: Mature live oaks and open acreage mean nine months of unused chimney is an invitation. We routinely pull squirrel nests, bird debris, and bee combs from flues that haven’t been lit since March. Never light a fire until you’ve had the flue inspected.
- Spalled concrete crowns on 1970s ranch homes: Davie’s humidity and heavy summer rain eat concrete crowns on older masonry chimneys. Water seeps into the flue, mixes with creosote, and accelerates glaze formation. It also causes efflorescence and brick-face damage over time.
- Smoke and carbon monoxide pushback from blocked flues: When a nest or heavy creosote blocks draft, smoke doesn’t leave the house. It comes back into the living room. Carbon monoxide follows it. A homeowner who skips the inspection and lights a fire with a blocked flue is running a real risk. Don’t do it.

FAQs About Chimney Sweep in Davie
Once a year, minimum. If you burn unseasoned oak from your own lot in Davie, creosote builds to a dangerous level within a single burning season. Rural wood-stove homes that use the stove as primary heat may need two sweeps per winter. We’ll write the recommended interval on your service report based on what we pull out. Call (754) 354-1430 to schedule and we’ll assess your actual burn rate.
Davie’s mature live oaks and rural acreage create ideal habitat for squirrels and birds, and a chimney that sits idle nine months is a cavity ready to be occupied. We remove nests by hand and with flue brushes, vacuum the debris, and inspect the flue for damage. A chimney cap is the long-term fix. We’ll install one so it doesn’t happen again. Call (754) 354-1430 for a free estimate.
First-degree creosote is flaky and brush-sweepable; it’s what you get from occasional cool fires in Davie’s brief burning season. Third-degree creosote is hardened glaze, created when unseasoned wood, humidity, and low flue temperatures combine. It will not come out with brushes. In Davie, where humid idle seasons and unseasoned wood are common, third-degree glaze appears faster than most homeowners expect. We’ll show you the camera footage so you know exactly what’s in the flue. Call (754) 354-1430 for an inspection.
Yes. Moisture causes concrete crowns on Davie’s 1970s-1990s masonry chimneys to spall, which opens cracks for water to seep into the flue. That moisture mixes with residual creosote to create glaze, and it degrades mortar joints year-round. A chimney that hasn’t been lit in years can still need crown repair and a liner inspection. Call (754) 354-1430 and we’ll tell you what’s happening with your chimney, not what we want to sell you.
In most cases, yes. Unlined or clay tile liners in Davie homes that burn wood regularly fail faster than homeowners expect because moisture and creosote work together. A stainless liner from DuraFlex gives you a smooth, insulated path for smoke and gas. We’ll inspect first with the camera and show you the condition of the existing flue. If replacing the liner is what’s called for, you’ll get a written price before we start. Call (754) 354-1430.
Why Davie’s Rural Properties Need a Different Approach
Davie is not Fort Lauderdale. Out here, a fireplace is not decor. It’s a heat source. Ranch homes off Shotgun Road and equestrian estates west of Flamingo Road burn oak cut from their own lots, often under-seasoned, and they burn it hard during the two or three cold weeks South Florida gets each winter. That pattern creates a specific problem: rapid first-degree creosote accumulation that can transition to third-degree glaze faster than in any coastal community where fireplaces sit unused.
Out on a five-acre equestrian estate off Flamingo Road, our tech pulled a squirrel nest and three feet of first-degree creosote from a masonry flue that had no liner. The homeowner had been burning unseasoned oak in a wood stove as primary heat. We swept the flue, installed a stainless flue liner, and replaced a rusted damper before the next cold snap. That is Davie work. You will not find it on a generic chimney page.
The town’s mature live oaks and open spaces also mean one thing for chimney work: animal intrusion is a regular occurrence, not an exception. Squirrels, birds, and raccoons find an idle flue and move in. A homeowner who skips the annual inspection and lights a fire with a blocked flue is inviting smoke and carbon monoxide back into the house. It happens here. It doesn’t have to happen to you.
