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.

Why Emberly Chimney Cleaners Is Lewisville’s Preferred Fireplace Services Company
We built our Fireplace Services process around one rule: you see what we see. Every visit includes a camera scan of the flue and a documented photo record you keep, whether we’re sweeping a wood-burning fireplace in Orchard Ridge or repairing a gas fireplace insert near Lake Lewisville. Corrine Halstead leads our crews, and she’s drilled the same standard into every tech: if you can’t show the problem with a photo, you haven’t found it yet.
Lewisville homeowners call us because the price is on the page and in writing before work begins. No “call for a quote” runaround. That’s Clause 1 of the Haven Standard, and we’ve operated that way since 2009. If you bring us a competitor’s written estimate, we’ll give you a free second opinion on it. And every job carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, we make it right.
Our Fireplace Services in Lewisville
Wood Burning Fireplace Service
Wood-burning fireplaces are the default in Lewisville’s 1970s-1990s brick ranch and two-story stock, and most of them have never had a professional inspection. A standard sweep here runs $129-$229, but first-time cleanings on homes along the older east-side subdivisions often turn up cracked clay tile liners or firebox spalling that’s been hiding for decades. We document everything with the camera and give you the photos before we recommend anything.
Damper Repair and Replacement
A damper that won’t seal is the most common call we get from Lewisville homeowners after the first cold snap, especially in homes where the fireplace sat idle through the long mild stretch. Top-sealing dampers run $300-$600 installed and do a better job keeping conditioned air in during North Texas summers than the original throat dampers most of these houses came with.
Firebox Repair
Cracked fireboxes in Lewisville tract homes usually trace back to the same thing: the Blackland Prairie clay under the slab. Seasonal heaving stresses the masonry from the base up, and hairline firebox cracks become smoke and heat leaks. We repair with HeatShield cerfractory material where the damage allows, which costs $450-$1,400 depending on the square footage, instead of jumping straight to a rebuild that can run $3,000 and up.
Fireplace Insert Installation
Homeowners in Lewisville’s newer subdivisions around Castle Hills and Timberbrook often want to convert an open wood-burning fireplace to a sealed gas insert. Installed prices range from $2,800-$5,500 depending on the unit, and the work includes running a properly sized liner, which is where a lot of cheaper quotes fall apart. We stock DuraFlex liners and write the liner spec into your contract before you sign anything.
BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in Lewisville
We stock and install parts from Copperfield, DuraFlex, and HeatShield, so when your Lewisville fireplace needs a new cap, a liner patch, or a firebox resurfacing, we’re not waiting on a distributor in Dallas. Copperfield caps and dampers cover most of the masonry fireplaces in Lewisville’s older housing stock. DuraFlex liners are our standard for gas and wood inserts. HeatShield lets us repair fireboxes at a fraction of rebuild cost. The point is simple: written pricing on real materials you can verify, not mystery parts marked up after the fact.
Common Fireplace Problems We See in Lewisville Homes
- Cracked crowns and separated flashing from soil movement. The Blackland Prairie clay under Lewisville slabs expands and contracts seasonally. That movement stresses the chimney’s connection to the roofline, cracking crowns and pulling flashing loose even on fireplaces that have never been used.
- First-time cleanings that uncover structural damage. Lewisville’s dominant 1980s housing stock came standard with masonry wood-burning fireplaces. Many have sat uninspected for 30-plus years, so what starts as a $200 sweep becomes a liner or firebox repair once the camera goes down.
- Deteriorated dampers after months of dormancy. Fireplaces that sit idle for eight or nine months through mild weather and then get lit hard during a cold snap often have rusted or warped dampers. That means smoke backdrafting and carbon monoxide risk when the fire finally gets going.
- Heavy creosote loading on rural wood stoves. Properties outside Lewisville’s city core that burn wood as primary heat load their flues with third-degree creosote glaze faster than the city average. A standard brush won’t remove it; we use rotary whip heads and chemical treatment, which is part of our $219-$349 wood stove sweeping price.

FAQs - Fireplace Services in Lewisville
Yes, but not for the reason you’d expect. Even a never-used fireplace in Lewisville is still attached to a chimney sitting on Blackland Prairie clay. The soil heaves seasonally and cracks the crown or separates the flashing. We saw this on a brick ranch on Lewisville’s east side: the fireplace had never been lit, but the crown had hairline cracks from soil movement and the flashing had separated at the roofline. We sealed the crown, resecured the flashing, and installed a Copperfield cap to keep moisture out. The point: moisture entry and structural stress happen without fire. An annual camera inspection catches it while it’s a $300 fix instead of a $3,000 rebuild. Call (980) 580-8641 to schedule one.
Because the clay under your slab moves, and the chimney moves with it. Lewisville sits on expansive Blackland Prairie clay that swells when wet and shrinks when dry. That shrink-swell cycle stresses the chimney from the base up, opening mortar joints and cracking fireboxes regardless of how often you burn. It’s the same reason we find separated flashing on homes with no fire history. The fix is usually repointing and crown sealing, which runs $350-$900 depending on how much mortar has failed. We’ll show you the cracks in the camera footage before we quote anything.
Every cord of wood burned, or at minimum once mid-season and once at the end of the season. Rural Lewisville properties that burn wood as primary heat through the winter load their flues with third-degree creosote glaze much faster than homes that burn occasionally. That glaze is a fire hazard and too hard for a standard brush. We use rotary whip heads and chemical treatments to remove it, and we’ll tell you honestly whether your burning practice is making the buildup worse. A wood stove sweep runs $219-$349 here. Call (980) 580-8641 and we’ll schedule it.
Often yes, and we’ll prove it with the camera before you spend a dollar. Firebox cracks in Lewisville’s 1980s tract homes usually come from foundation movement, not structural failure of the chimney itself. If the firebox walls are intact behind the cracks, we repair with HeatShield cerfractory material, which runs $450-$1,400. If the damage extends into the smoke chamber or the firebox has separated from the structure, a rebuild may be necessary, and we’ll show you exactly why with photos. No light-and-verdict inspections. Call (980) 580-8641 for a written assessment.
Yes. We serve Lewisville and the surrounding rural properties in Denton County, including homes off I-35E and out toward the county edges. The drive time is built into the written quote before we come out, so you know the total before we arrive. If you use a wood stove as primary heat on a rural Lewisville property, call (980) 580-8641 to schedule a sweep and camera inspection.
