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 Lantana, TX
Chimney work in Lantana is a coastal maintenance problem, not a fireplace-use problem. The salty air off the Intracoastal Waterway corrodes metal dampers and caps, saturates masonry mortar, and leaves flue interiors damp enough to grow mold even when a fireplace has not been lit in a year. Most Lantana calls we take are for moisture damage, failed dampers, and biological growth, not creosote. If your chimney smells musty after rain or you can see rust stains running down the face, call (336) 863-3889 and we’ll tell you exactly what’s happening before you spend a dollar.
Why Lantana Homes Are Different
Lantana’s housing stock is mostly mid-century concrete block, built from the 1950s into the 1970s. Many of those homes have masonry chimneys that were built more for curb appeal than regular use. Fifty to seventy years of South Florida humidity, compounded by the Intracoastal’s salt spray, has done what it does: spalling brick faces, efflorescence, and original dampers that have corroded past the point of sealing anything. We regularly open dampers in Lantana that are rust-frozen in place, and the flue above them is covered in a film of mold and mildew.
Chimney swifts complicate the calendar. These federally protected migratory birds nest inside uncapped masonry chimneys from roughly April through October, and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act makes it illegal to disturb or clean those flues during that window. A smart Lantana homeowner schedules inspections and cap installations in the off-season. Wait until spring, and you may be waiting until fall for the birds to leave.
Our Main Lantana Services
Three services cover nearly everything Lantana homeowners call us about: sweeping, inspection, and gas fireplace repair. Each has its own Lantana page with local pricing and details.
Chimney Sweep in Lantana
A standard chimney sweep in Lantana typically runs $189 – $259. Most of our sweeps here remove biological growth and salt-caked soot rather than heavy creosote, because near-zero heating demand means these flues sit damp and unused for long stretches. We also check the cap and flashing during every sweep, since coastal corrosion is the usual reason a chimney starts leaking. Read the full breakdown on our Chimney Sweep in Lantana page.
Chimney Inspection in Lantana
Lantana’s older concrete block homes often have hidden flue damage that only a camera reveals. Our Level 2 inspection runs $249 – $449 and includes a full video scan of the flue interior, so you see exactly what we see before anyone recommends a repair. If a liner or mortar joint has failed after decades of salt exposure, the footage makes it plain. Details are on the Chimney Inspection in Lantana page.
Gas Fireplace Repair in Lantana
Gas fireplaces in Lantana suffer from corrosion on burner tubes, valve assemblies, and control wiring, coastal moisture is rough on exposed metal and electrical connections. Typical repairs run $169 – $489 depending on what has failed, and we stock common parts for the fireplaces most common in Lantana’s 1970s and later homes. See the Gas Fireplace Repair in Lantana page for the full price range.

What pushes a Lantana job above the low end is almost always corrosion: a damper that has rusted through, a cap that has failed after years of salt exposure, or mortar joints that need repointing before any cap can be installed. Whatever the number, you get a written price before we start, and that number does not change at the end of the job.

FAQs About Chimney Company in Lantana
Most Lantana appointments are scheduled within one to two business days. Spring is the busy season for inspections and cap work before swift nesting begins, so booking early in the year gives you the most scheduling flexibility. Call (336) 863-3889 to check current availability.
Some Lantana HOAs require exterior modification approval for visible changes like cap installation or masonry repair. We can provide the written scope of work your HOA needs, and we will not start any exterior job until you are clear on the rules. Interior sweeping and inspection usually need no approval.
Yes, that is most of what we do here. Mid-century concrete block construction handles differently than wood-frame, and our crews expect the spalling and mortar issues common to Lantana’s 1950s through 1970s builds. We inspect the masonry condition on every job, not just the flue interior.

What Lantana Customers Say
"Fast and tidy. Fireplace draws properly again."
- Mina K."Good chimney cleaning. They found a small gap in the mortar and quoted the repair, which was a bit more than I wanted to spend. Did the sweep and left the repair for later without any pressure."
- Stuart L."Left no soot anywhere. Even brought a vacuum with a sealed filter. I'd use them again every fall."
