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 Cleaning in Colleyville, TX
Chimney cleaning in Colleyville typically runs $149 to $310 for a standard sweep with a Level 1 inspection, and $249 to $400 when a camera scan is added. The homes here, mostly custom builds from 1985 to 2005, frequently have two or three fireplaces each, and many are now 20 to 40 years old. Because Colleyville winters stay mild, fireplaces get used only a handful of times per season, which is exactly what builds creosote fast. Call (980) 580-8641 for a written quote before anyone starts.
Why Colleyville Homes Are Different
Colleyville sits on the North Texas clay belt. Soil expands and contracts with every wet-dry cycle, and over decades that movement stresses chimney footings, mortar joints, and crown seams. A chimney that looked fine five years ago may now have hairline crown cracks that let water into the flue. During the February 2021 Winter Storm Uri, homeowners across Colleyville burned wood for days straight in fireplaces that had sat unused for years, leaving heavy glazed creosote deposits that a routine sweep won’t remove without chemical treatment or mechanical scraping.
The bigger pattern we see in Colleyville is low-temperature, short-duration burns. Mild winters mean fires get lit on a handful of cool evenings, often with the damper adjusted low to stretch the burn. That smoldering combustion produces creosote faster than a hot, active fire, and it accumulates in a denser, stickier form. Homes along Glade Road, Precinct Line Road, and the custom neighborhoods around Colleyville Boulevard reflect this: beautiful masonry or prefab faces, but flue walls coated faster than most owners expect. Several of these properties have outdoor fireplaces on covered patios, which face the same issue plus exposure to humidity and occasional North Texas rain.
Our Main Colleyville Services
Beyond a standard chimney cleaning, two services account for most of the calls we take from Colleyville homeowners: fireplace service on aging prefab units, and cap and crown work on chimneys exposed to shifting clay soil.
Fireplace Services in Colleyville
Many Colleyville homes built in the late 1980s and 1990s went in with factory-built zero-clearance fireplaces from brands like Heatilator or Heat-N-Glo. Those units use galvanized steel flue components that corrode from the inside out, and at 20 to 40 years old, a lot of them are past their rated service life. The fireplace face in a high-end living room can look flawless while the inner flue walls have rusted through. Fireplace Services in Colleyville covers gas log sets, refractory panel replacement, and prefab unit assessment before you light another fire.
Chimney Cap & Crown in Colleyville
Expansive Colleyville soil shifts enough to crack concrete crowns and shift cap mounts. A cracked crown lets rain seep into the brick and mortar, and once moisture gets in, freeze-thaw cycles during even our brief cold snaps widen the damage. Chimney Cap & Crown in Colleyville walks through what a cracked crown looks like from the ground, what a replacement cap costs, and why a custom-fitted stainless cap beats a universal one on Colleyville’s larger flue setups.

BeforeAfterChimney Cleaning & Sweep in Colleyville
A chimney sweep in Colleyville costs $149 to $310 for most single-flue homes, and properties with two or three fireplaces often run $275 to $500 for the full visit. The specific problem here is low-temperature creosote: those short fires in mild North Texas winters coat flue walls faster than the occasional use would suggest. Chimney Cleaning & Sweep is the service we recommend starting with, because a camera scan during cleaning is how we find the cracked liners and corroded prefab components hiding inside otherwise pristine Colleyville fireplaces.
Level 1 Inspection
Signs you need it
You’ve burned more than a cord of wood since the last cleaning, or it’s been over a year with regular fireplace use.
What it costs in Colleyville
A Level 1 inspection is included with any standard chimney sweep in Colleyville, typically $149 to $310 for the combined service.
How we do it
We check the accessible portions of the chimney, flue, damper, and firebox by visual inspection and document the condition in writing with photos.
Creosote Removal
Signs you need it
You see black, tar-like buildup on the flue walls, smell a sharp smoky odor even when the fireplace is cold, or your fires seem sluggish.
What it costs in Colleyville
Heavy creosote removal runs $249 to $400 when glazed, tar-like deposits need rotary chains or chemical treatment in Colleyville flues.
How we do it
We run rotary brushes, chains, or chemical treatment to break down tar-stage creosote, then finish with a hand sweep and a camera check to confirm the flue is actually clean.
What Chimney Cleaning & Sweep Costs in Colleyville
| Item | Typical range in Colleyville |
|---|---|
| Standard chimney sweep with Level 1 inspection | $149 - $310 |
| Sweep plus camera scan (Level 2) | $249 - $400 |
| Heavy creosote removal (glazed, tar-stage) | $249 - $400 |
How often should I have my Colleyville chimney swept?
The NFPA standard is once per year, or after roughly one cord of wood burned. Colleyville’s low-temperature burns can accelerate creosote buildup, so fall is the ideal window. Call us at (980) 580-8641 with your burn frequency and we’ll tell you honestly what’s needed.
What does a Colleyville chimney cleaning actually include?
Every sweep includes a Level 1 inspection, flue brushing, smoke chamber cleaning, damper check, and a documented photo record under Clause 4 of the Haven Standard. You get photos and written summary before we leave. Call (980) 580-8641 to book your sweep.
Chimney Repair in Colleyville
Chimney repair in Colleyville usually starts at $195 for a basic mortar patch and climbs to $1,900 or more for a partial rebuild on a large custom chimney. The clay soil here is the constant variable: every wet-dry cycle nudges footings and cracks mortar joints, and by the time a homeowner notices spalling brick or a leaning chimney, the damage has been working for years. Chimney Repair covers everything from tuckpointing to full crown replacement on Colleyville’s older custom homes.
Mortar Repointing
Signs you need it
Mortar joints are crumbling, recessed, or missing between bricks, letting water behind the face of your Colleyville chimney.
What it costs in Colleyville
Mortar repointing in Colleyville typically runs $195 to $500 depending on how many joints need work and how high the access point sits.
How we do it
We grind out deteriorated mortar at a consistent depth, pack in fresh matched mortar, and tool the joints to shed water properly.
Chimney Waterproofing
Signs you need it
Your brick is absorbing water instead of beading it away, leaving dark patches after rain or white efflorescence on the chimney face.
What it costs in Colleyville
Chimney waterproofing in Colleyville runs $195 to $500 for a single flue, using breathable sealant that blocks water but lets moisture vapor escape.
How we do it
We clean the surface, repair any cracked mortar or crown first, then apply a vapor-permeable waterproofing agent to the exterior masonry.
What Chimney Repair Costs in Colleyville
| Item | Typical range in Colleyville |
|---|---|
| Mortar repointing | $195 - $500 |
| Chimney waterproofing | $195 - $500 |
| Partial chimney rebuild | $800 - $1,900 |
Do I need a permit for chimney repair in Colleyville?
Most repointing and waterproofing work needs no permit, but any structural rebuild on a Colleyville chimney may require city review. We confirm requirements before any work starts and include the details in your written scope. Call (980) 580-8641 for specifics on your project.
Can a cracked crown really damage my Colleyville chimney?
Yes. Water enters the crack, soaks into mortar and brick, then expands during even mild freezes. In Colleyville’s clay soil, ground movement compounds the stress, turning small cracks into spalling brick over a few seasons. Call us at (980) 580-8641 and we’ll inspect yours before the next rain.
Chimney Liner & Rebuild in Colleyville
A stainless steel liner replacement in Colleyville runs $2,200 to $3,800 for a standard one-story run, and a full masonry chimney rebuild starts at $6,000 and can reach $12,000+ on larger custom homes. The properties across Colleyville’s 1985 to 2005 build boom are now hitting the exact age where original clay liners crack from soil movement and corroded prefab flue components fail. Chimney Liner & Rebuild includes the camera scan that confirms liner condition before we recommend anything.
Stainless Steel Liner
Signs you need it
Your current clay tile liner is cracked, offset, or missing sections, letting heat and carbon monoxide reach the chimney walls.
What it costs in Colleyville
A stainless steel liner in Colleyville typically runs $2,200 to $3,800 installed, including the connector and insulation where needed.
How we do it
We measure the flue, size the liner to the appliance, lower it down, and connect it with a sealed top plate and rain cap.
Full Chimney Rebuild
Signs you need it
Structurally, the chimney has bowed, pulled away from the house, or lost so much mortar and brick that repointing won’t restore stability.
What it costs in Colleyville
A full chimney rebuild in Colleyville starts around $6,000 and ranges up to $12,000+ based on height, access, and material matching.
How we do it
We dismantle to the roofline or below, reline the flue, and rebuild with new brick matched to your home, then waterproof and cap the top.
What Chimney Liner & Rebuild Costs in Colleyville
| Item | Typical range in Colleyville |
|---|---|
| Stainless steel liner replacement | $2,200 - $3,800 |
| Partial rebuild | $800 - $1,900 |
| Full chimney rebuild | $6,000 - $12,000+ |
Do I really need a new liner, or is this an upsell?
We only recommend liner work after a camera scan shows cracked tiles, gaps, or corrosion, and we hand you the photos. If there’s no documented damage, there’s no liner recommendation. Call (980) 580-8641 and we’ll scan yours before quoting anything.
Can I put off a full rebuild for another season?
Sometimes yes, if the structure is still stable and water isn’t actively entering the home. Colleyville’s clay soil means a leaning chimney typically keeps leaning, so we’ll tell you honestly what can wait and what can’t. Call (980) 580-8641 for a straight answer.
