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 Broadview Park
A standard chimney sweep in Broadview Park runs $189 – $289 for a single flue, which includes creosote removal, soot removal, and a camera inspection of the flue before we finish. If you have a manufactured chimney in one of the mobile home parks or a masonry fireplace in a mid-century home off State Road 7, the job usually takes 45 to 90 minutes. Call (754) 354-1430 and we’ll give you a written price before any work starts, not after.
We know Broadview Park’s housing stock. Most chimneys here aren’t the heavy-soot fireplaces you’d find up north. They’re masonry stacks with clay tile liners or prefabricated metal units that have been sitting unused for months at a time. The salt air off the Atlantic does its work year-round. Rust forms on caps and flashing. Squirrels and birds find their way in. Our crews see it every week, which means we’re not guessing when we pull up.
Why Flint Chimney Co Fort Lauderdale Is Broadview Park’s Preferred Chimney Sweep Company
Hank Delano runs our Broadview Park service area, and his crews are background-checked and uniformed on every call. You’ll know exactly who’s walking through your door, and they’ll arrive with a written price already worked out from the details you gave us over the phone. That price doesn’t move unless you approve a change in scope first, in writing.
Our Chimney Sweep team operates under The Garrison Standard, the same code every Garrison Partners location follows. That means every repair carries a 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing, valid for a full year from the service date. If a covered repair fails within that year, we return at no charge. No argument, no re-quote.
Broadview Park homeowners call us because we’ve been part of the Garrison Partners family since 2002, and because we don’t play the liner-replacement game that’s common in South Florida. More on that below. Dispatch and scheduling for our Broadview Park crews are coordinated from our Miami (South FL) office, but the technicians showing up at your door know this neighborhood and its chimneys.

Chimney Cleaning in Broadview Park
Chimney Cleaning in Broadview Park is about more than brushing soot out of a flue. In this climate, a cleaning is often the first time anyone has looked inside the chimney in years, and what we find is usually nests, corroded metal components, or a clay tile liner that’s still intact but hidden under glaze-level creosote. A standard sweep here runs $189 – $289 for a single flue, and we camera-inspect the flue as part of the job, so you see what we see before any repair conversation starts.
Creosote Removal in a Humid Climate
Broadview Park’s humidity does something counterintuitive: it promotes creosote accumulation even when the fireplace is barely used. Moisture in the air mixes with combustion byproducts, and the residue hardens into a glaze on the flue walls. We remove first-degree and second-degree creosote with wire brushes and rotary equipment, and we’ll tell you plainly if what you have is third-degree, which is a fire hazard and needs a different treatment.
Annual Sweep for Rarely Used Fireplaces
You might think a fireplace that only gets lit twice a year doesn’t need an annual sweep. In Broadview Park, it does, but not for the reason most people assume. The bigger risk here is wildlife entry and rust. A squirrel nest in the smoke chamber can cause severe draft inversion, pushing smoke back into the living room. An annual sweep catches that before it happens.
Fireplace Cleaning in Broadview Park
Fireplace Cleaning in Broadview Park covers the firebox itself, the damper assembly, and the visible masonry around the opening. It’s not the same as a flue sweep, but they’re usually done together. Fireplace cleaning here runs $129 – $199 depending on the size of the firebox and how much ash and debris has built up. If the fireplace hasn’t been used in years, we’ll also check for rust on the damper and corrosion around the ash dump door, both of which are common in Broadview Park homes.
Ash and Soot Removal
We vacuum and hand-scrape the firebox, removing ash, soot, and whatever else has settled in there since the last fire. In Broadview Park’s humid air, old ash can compact into a paste that’s hard to remove and traps moisture against the firebrick. That moisture accelerates mortar deterioration over time.
Fireplace Damper and Hearth Check
While we’re in there, we check the damper for rust and proper seating. A damper that doesn’t seal lets conditioned air escape up the chimney in summer and lets humid outdoor air in. We’ll also inspect the hearth extension and the brick around the firebox opening for spalling or loose mortar.
Trusted Brands We Service in Broadview Park
We install and service professional-grade chimney components from brands you can independently verify: Gelco for chimney caps, Olympia Chimney for liners and venting, and Copperfield for chase covers and flashing. When a Broadview Park mobile home has a rusted cap or degraded flashing, we stock common replacement parts locally, which means faster turnaround than waiting on a shipment. We never substitute a no-name product just to pad the margin. The brand we use goes on your written estimate before you approve anything.

AfterCommon Chimney Sweep Problems We See in Broadview Park Homes
- Animal nests in manufactured chimneys. In Broadview Park’s mobile home parks, bird and squirrel nests are more common blockages than heavy soot. The entry point is almost always a rusted cap or degraded flashing, and the fix starts with a camera inspection to confirm the blockage before we remove it.
- Rusted chimney caps and chase covers. Salt-laden air from the Atlantic accelerates corrosion on metal components. A cap that’s rusted through lets rain into the flue during Broadview Park’s wet season, which then damages the liner and the masonry below.
- Clay tile liners with glaze-level creosote. Mid-century homes in Broadview Park often have original clay tile liners. When humidity mixes with combustion byproducts, the creosote hardens into a shiny glaze that’s a fire hazard. A standard sweep removes it, but some companies will tell you the liner is shot and push a relining job. Don’t accept that without camera evidence.
- Draft inversion from clogged smoke chambers. We see this on older single-family homes near the Broadview Park mobile home corridor. A nest or debris in the smoke chamber blocks the draft, and smoke rolls back into the house. The fix is removal and a proper sweep, not a new chimney.

FAQs About Chimney Sweep in Broadview Park
Broadview Park’s humid, subtropical climate means fireplaces sit unused for long stretches, and unused chimneys become nesting sites. Squirrels and birds enter through rusted caps or gaps in flashing, especially in manufactured chimneys found in the area’s mobile home parks. Up north, regular fires keep animals out and produce heavy soot. Here, the problem is reversed. If you hear scratching or smell something odd, call (754) 354-1430 and we’ll camera-inspect the flue to confirm what’s inside before recommending any work.
Yes. Broadview Park sits close enough to the Atlantic that salt-laden air corrodes galvanized and untreated metal components year-round. Caps, chase covers, and flashing on manufactured chimneys rust through faster here than they would inland. A rusted cap lets rain into the flue, which then damages the liner or masonry below. We stock Gelco and Copperfield replacement parts and can usually install a new cap the same week we inspect it.
Yes, though you may not need a full Level 2. If you never use the fireplace, the main risks in Broadview Park are wildlife entry, rust, and water intrusion from damaged caps or crowns. A Level 1 inspection ($149 – $249) covers those basics. We recommend a Level 2 if there’s been a storm, a property sale, or you suspect something fell into the flue. Call us for an honest recommendation based on what we actually see, not what we can sell.
You don’t, and that’s the point. First-degree creosote is a fine, flaky black powder. Third-degree is a hard, shiny glaze that’s a serious fire risk. The only reliable way to tell the difference is to look directly at the flue with a camera, which is exactly what our sweep includes. Any company that tells you your liner is shot without showing you camera footage is guessing or selling. We show you the screen, live, before any repair recommendation is made.
Replace it. A rusted cap is the primary entry point for rain, birds, and squirrels in Broadview Park’s manufactured chimneys, and it’s a simple fix compared to the liner damage it causes when left alone. We stock Gelco and Copperfield caps locally and can provide a written price before any work begins. If the flashing around the chimney base is also rusted, we’ll inspect that at the same time and tell you plainly whether it needs attention now or can wait.
If you live in Broadview Park and want a chimney sweep that shows you the condition of your flue before recommending anything, call (754) 354-1430. You’ll get a written price from a live person, not a callback form, and the work carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing.
