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 Farmington, UT
A chimney company in Farmington does more than sweep. The work here runs mostly to chimney repair, because the homes and the weather push flues hard. Farmington sits where inversion-season burning meets lake-edge damp, and east-bench subdivisions built from the 1990s onward put factory-built fireplaces and wood inserts through heavy winter use. We repair what that combination breaks: cracked crowns, failed caps, mortar joints opened by freeze-thaw, and liners that no longer match the appliance. Our technicians have up to 15 years of experience, and we specify trade-grade materials rather than hardware-store patchwork. Call (833) 497-1153. We answer 24/7.
Why Farmington Homes Are Different
Most chimney pages describe a generic house. Farmington doesn’t have one. Near the historic downtown grid, older farmhouse-era homes carry masonry chimneys built long before modern liner standards, and many of those flues have never been relined. Head east onto the bench and you’re in large two-story brick-and-siding subdivisions from the 1990s through the 2010s, full of factory-built fireplaces and wood inserts that need manufacturer-specific inspection rather than a generic brush. Newer construction toward the west adds a third set of variables.
The climate is the other half. Winter inversions along the Wasatch Front trap cold air and smoke against the mountains, so Farmington residents burn wood heavily from December into February. That burns creosote faster than a mild valley floor would suggest. Meanwhile, proximity to the Great Salt Lake wetlands brings moisture and repeated freeze-thaw cycling, and that cracks chimney crowns and opens mortar joints. On the east-bench subdivisions, late-winter freeze-thaw after inversion-season burning is exactly when our technicians find cracked crowns and glazed creosote on the same call. One visit, two problems, both visible on camera before we recommend anything.

Our Main Farmington Services
Two services cover most of what Farmington homeowners call us about: cleaning the flue, and clearing the dryer vent. Both are about removing the fuel a fire needs.
Chimney Sweep in Farmington
A sweep here means a proper camera inspection before anything else, so you see the inside of the flue on a screen rather than taking our word for it. Inversion-season burning loads Farmington flues with creosote quickly, and glazed creosote won’t come off with a light brush pass. We sweep, photograph, and tell you plainly what we found and whether it can wait until spring. If you want the full detail on what a visit involves, Chimney Sweep in Farmington covers staging, containment, and the photo report.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Farmington
Lint packed into a dryer duct is a fire hazard most homeowners never look at, and the same lake-edge damp that works on chimney exteriors can leave a vent run holding moisture and matted lint together. Farmington homes with long duct runs behind the dryer, or a vent that exits through a roof or a wall with a stuck damper, are the ones we find the worst blockages in. We clean the full run and show you what came out. See Dryer Vent Cleaning in Farmington for how the duct is accessed and tested.
Chimney Repair in Farmington
Chimney repair is the biggest share of what we do in Farmington, and the reason is the local mix. Older masonry flues near the historic downtown grid often never got a modern liner, while factory-built units in the 1990s and 2010s east-bench subdivisions were built to variable standards and now need manufacturer-specific parts rather than a generic fit. Add inversion-season wood burning and lake-edge freeze-thaw, and you get crowns, caps, flashing, and liners all aging at once. Chimney Repair is where we resurface, reline, and rebuild the parts of the system that protect the flue.
Chimney Cap Installation
Signs you need it
You need a cap if the flue is open to the sky and you’re finding water staining inside the firebox, debris on the smoke shelf, or birds and squirrels getting in.
What it costs in Farmington
Cap installation in Farmington typically runs $150 to $400, and the written estimate sets the final price once we’ve seen the flue size and crown condition.
How we do it
We measure the flue, fit a stainless cap sized to the opening with a screened spark arrestor, and secure it to the crown so freeze-thaw movement doesn’t walk it loose.
Chimney Cap Replacement
Signs you need it
A cap needs replacing when it’s rusted through, bent by wind, missing screens, or sitting loose after a winter of freeze-thaw, and you’re seeing water or animals get past it.
What it costs in Farmington
Replacement generally falls in the same $150 to $400 range, with the higher end covering multi-flue crowns and custom sizing.
How we do it
We pull the old cap and its fasteners, check the crown underneath for cracking, and set a new stainless cap from Gelco or Olympia Chimney to match the flue.
Chimney Liner Installation
Signs you need it
You need a liner if the flue has no liner at all, shows cracked or spalled clay tiles on camera, or the appliance never matched the original flue size.
What it costs in Farmington
Liner installation typically runs $1,800 to $4,500 depending on flue height, appliance type, and whether insulation is required around the liner.
How we do it
We camera the flue, size a DuraFlex stainless system to the appliance, insulate where the setup calls for it, and seal the top plate and bottom connection before testing draft.
Chimney Flashing Repair
Signs you need it
Flashing is failing when you see rust streaks on the chimney, water stains on ceiling or framing near the chase, or gaps and lifted edges where the metal meets the roof.
What it costs in Farmington
Flashing repair is typically $250 to $750, and a full rebuild around a masonry chimney sits at the top of that range.
How we do it
We lift the existing metal, clear the old sealant, reset or rebuild the flashing into the mortar joint, and seal it so meltwater runs off rather than in.
Chimney Crown Repair
Signs you need it
A crown needs repair when you can see cracks across the top, a crumbling or flaking surface, or water finding its way down the flue after rain or snowmelt.
What it costs in Farmington
Crown repair typically costs $300 to $900, with resurfacing at the lower end and a full crown rebuild at the higher end.
How we do it
We chip back the failed surface, rebuild the slope so water sheds away from the flue, and finish with a HeatShield resurfacing system where the structure is sound enough to save.
What Chimney Repair Costs in Farmington
The ranges below are typical for Farmington, not a quote. Inversion-season creosote that has glazed, plus east-bench freeze-thaw damage found on the same visit, are the two things that push a job toward the upper end. Crown and flashing work discovered together on a masonry chimney usually adds up more than either alone.
| Item | Typical range in Farmington |
|---|---|
| Chimney cap installation or replacement | $150 – $400 |
| Chimney liner installation | $1,800 – $4,500 |
| Flashing repair | $250 – $750 |
| Crown repair or resurfacing | $300 – $900 |
Nothing is recommended without camera evidence you can look at yourself, and we’ll tell you when a repair can safely wait until the burning season ends.
Do I really need a new liner in Farmington?
Not always. If camera inspection shows intact clay tiles matched to your appliance, you don’t. Cracked tiles, an unlined flue, or a mismatch between insert and flue size are the cases where a DuraFlex liner is the right call, and we show you the footage first.
Can chimney repair wait until spring in Farmington?
Sometimes. A hairline crown crack before freeze-thaw season can wait. An open cap, active water entry, or a compromised liner shouldn’t, because inversion-season burning drives creosote into places a damaged flue can’t safely handle. Call (833) 497-1153 and we’ll tell you honestly which one you have.
Brands We Service in Farmington
We work with DuraFlex flexible liner systems, HeatShield resurfacing, and Gelco and Olympia Chimney components, the same trade-grade materials chimney specialists specify nationwide. For Farmington jobs, parts are ordered to your flue’s measurements rather than pulled from a shelf, so expect a short lead time between inspection and install. You can read more about our brands and what each one is used for.

What Farmington Customers Say
"Crown was cracked and taking water. Repaired it rather than quoting a rebuild, which the previous company had pushed hard for."
- Brooke Fletcher"Fireplace had never drawn properly since we moved in. He found the damper was only opening halfway due to a bent linkage and fixed it in ten minutes."
- Jason Meyer"Drop cloths everywhere, HEPA vac, and not a speck of soot on the carpet. I'd been dreading the mess for nothing."
