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 Lauderhill, FL
Chimney repair in Lauderhill starts with one thing most of Broward County never thinks about: a fireplace that actually gets used. This city keeps real wood-burning habits, so a flue here works for a living and needs servicing like one. Add subtropical rain, hurricane-season wind, and concrete-block ranch homes built from the 1960s into the 1980s with original clay-tile flues, and you get water damage, rusted dampers, and cracked crowns rather than the heavy creosote a northern chimney sees. We handle that repair work, and the sweeps that find it. Call (866) 361-5813.
Why Lauderhill Homes Are Different
Most of South Florida treats a fireplace as decoration. Lauderhill doesn’t. This is a majority-Caribbean city, with large Jamaican, Haitian, and Trinidadian communities, and plenty of households still cook over wood or keep a coal pot going. That means the chimney is a working flue, not an ornament, and it sits in a climate that punishes it between fires.
The housing stock explains the rest. Single-story concrete-block ranches and townhomes from the 1960s through the 1980s dominate, many with the original masonry fireplace and clay-tile flue, built before modern liner standards existed. A large share of rentals and multi-unit conversions mean one flue can serve more than one household, which changes how we inspect and who needs to know what we find.
Then there’s the weather. Humidity, heavy summer rain, and wind-driven moisture during hurricane season push water into any chimney that’s uncapped or badly flashed. Flue deterioration, rusted dampers, and mold are the dominant problems here, not creosote. After a long rainy season or a storm, we routinely find nests, leaves, and standing water in chimneys nobody thought to check, because “it never gets cold.” The few cool January nights are when a Lauderhill homeowner fires up and discovers months of debris sitting in the flue. Our technicians have up to 10 years of experience reading exactly this pattern.

Our Main Lauderhill Services
Two jobs bring Lauderhill homeowners to the phone most often: the annual sweep that keeps an actively used flue safe, and the dryer vent cleaning that protects the rest of the house from the same kind of lint fire a clogged chimney flue invites.
Chimney Sweep in Lauderhill
A sweep in Lauderhill is rarely a light cleaning. Because so many flues here see real wood smoke, we brush the full flue and firebox, then run a camera to check what the brush can’t feel: cracked clay tile, a rusted damper, water staining from the last rainy season, or a nest lodged above the smoke shelf. You get a photo report of what we found, so the assessment is yours to see rather than ours to describe. It’s the same visit where we spot most repair needs early, while they’re still small. Book Chimney Sweep in Lauderhill.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Lauderhill
Lint buildup in a dryer vent is a fire risk in any home, and in Lauderhill’s older concrete-block houses the vent run is often long, bends more than it should, and vents through a wall that’s had decades of humid air working on it. We clear the full run, check the exterior hood and damper, and confirm airflow is what it should be. It’s fire-safety maintenance, not an add-on to the chimney visit, and it’s worth doing on its own schedule. Book Dryer Vent Cleaning in Lauderhill.
Chimney Repair in Lauderhill
Chimney repair in Lauderhill is mostly water repair. The clay-tile flues in this city’s 1960s to 1980s concrete-block homes were laid before modern liner standards, and decades of subtropical rain, humidity, and hurricane-season wind have gotten into crowns, flashings, and caps that were never built for this much moisture. The result is cracked tile, rusted dampers, mold, and flues that no longer vent cleanly. We repair what we find, and because our Chimney Repair work runs from resurfacing to full relining, the same company that finds the problem can correct it without handing you off to a second contractor.
Chimney Cap Installation
Signs you need it
You need a cap if the flue is open to the sky, which shows up as leaves, nests, or standing water in the firebox after a storm.
What it costs in Lauderhill
Cap installation typically runs $250 to $650, depending on flue size and the cap style you choose.
How we do it
We measure the flue, fit a Gelco or Copperfield cap to the exact opening, and secure it to the crown so wind-driven rain stays out.
Chimney Cap Replacement
Signs you need it
An existing cap needs replacing when it’s rusted through, bent loose by storm wind, or missing mesh that let birds and squirrels in.
What it costs in Lauderhill
Replacement usually falls in the $250 to $650 range, with the old cap removed and the new one fitted in a single visit.
How we do it
We pull the failed cap, inspect the crown and flue top while it’s exposed, and set a new cap sealed against the weather.
Chimney Liner Installation
Signs you need it
A liner is needed when camera inspection shows cracked or missing clay tile, gaps at the joints, or a flue that’s simply too deteriorated to reline by resurfacing.
What it costs in Lauderhill
Liner installation typically ranges from $1,800 to $4,500, set by flue length and liner diameter.
How we do it
We install a DuraFlex flexible liner sized to the appliance, insulate it where required, and connect it to the top plate and appliance collar.
Chimney Flashing Repair
Signs you need it
Failed flashing shows as water staining on the ceiling near the chimney, rusted flashing metal, or caulk lines that have pulled away from the roof.
What it costs in Lauderhill
Flashing repair typically costs $200 to $500, since the work is at the roof line rather than inside the flue.
How we do it
We lift the old flashing, reseal and refit it against the roof and chimney, and check the surrounding shingles for storm damage.
What Chimney Repair Costs in Lauderhill
These are typical ranges for the repair work we quote in Lauderhill. The written estimate you receive sets the final price.
| Item | Typical range in Lauderhill |
|---|---|
| Chimney cap installation | $250 – $650 |
| Chimney cap replacement | $250 – $650 |
| Chimney liner installation | $1,800 – $4,500 |
| Chimney flashing repair | $200 – $500 |
Do I really need a new liner, or can it be resurfaced?
Resurfacing works when the clay tile is intact but the flue walls are pitted or cracked at the joints. Full liner installation is needed when tile is broken or missing. We show you the camera footage and let the evidence decide. Call (866) 361-5813 for an exact quote – estimates are free.
Why does my Lauderhill chimney leak after summer storms?
Usually the cap or the flashing, not the flue itself. Wind-driven rain gets past an open flue or a flashing that’s pulled loose from the roof. Both are repairable, and neither requires guessing: we inspect, photograph the source, and quote from what we see. Call (866) 361-5813 – estimates are free.

What Lauderhill Customers Say
"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."
- Michael Lawson"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."
- Andre Ingram"Good work. The written inspection report took about a week to arrive after I asked for it, which was slower than I expected."
