Chimney Sweep and Cleaning in Colleyville
Colleyville is a city of big lots and mature trees along Highway 26, between Grapevine and Keller in northeast Tarrant County. Subdivisions like Woodland Hills, Saddlebrook, Whittier Heights, Ross Downs Estates and Montclair Parc were built out mostly in the 1990s, so a lot of Colleyville fireplaces are now 25 to 35 years old. Many of them are full masonry with clay tile flues. The newer custom homes north of Hall-Johnson Road tend to have factory-built metal fireplaces behind a wood-framed chase, often with gas logs.
Both kinds need a chimney sweep once creosote reaches about 1/8 inch, and NFPA 211 says every chimney should be inspected once a year. Flower Mound Chimney Sweep Professionals handles both. We seal the fireplace, run a HEPA vacuum the whole time, brush the flue with rods sized to tile or metal, and clean the smoke chamber and firebox. Then the camera goes up the flue and we check the top of the chimney from the roof. You get before-and-after photos before we leave.
Chimney Inspection
A Level 1 chimney inspection comes with every sweep. It covers the parts we can reach without tools: firebox, damper, smoke chamber, the visible flue, and the cap, crown and flashing on the roof. If you are buying or selling a home in Colleyville, or you have had a chimney fire, a lightning strike or a bad hail storm, book a Level 2 inspection. That adds a full video scan of the flue liner and a written report that home inspectors and insurance adjusters accept.
Chimney Repair in Colleyville
Masonry chimneys from the 1990s are now at the age where mortar joints wash out, crowns crack and flashing lifts. In Colleyville we also see tall chimneys on two-story homes that take the full force of spring hail. Our chimney repair work includes tuckpointing, crown repair, flashing repair, leak repair, chimney caps and waterproofing. For factory-built units behind a siding chase, we replace rusted chase covers and repair the chase itself. Every repair starts with photos and a free written estimate, and the written price is the price you pay.
Fireplace and Gas Log Service
Gas logs and gas starters are common in Colleyville homes, and the problems are predictable: a pilot that will not stay lit, a burner that lights on one side, or a smell when the fireplace runs. These are gas fireplace repair visits, and most are quick. We also install new gas log sets and clean wood-burning fireboxes and glass doors. Gas line work is done by a licensed plumber, as Texas law requires, and we coordinate that visit with ours.
Signs a Colleyville Chimney Needs Attention
- Smoke drifts into the room instead of up the flue
- A sharp or sour smell from the fireplace on humid days
- Loose mortar or brick pieces on the roof or around the base
- Rust streaks running down the chase or the brick
- A damp firebox after rain
- Scratching or chirping sounds, especially May through September when chimney swifts are nesting
- No sweep or inspection in the last 12 months
One of these is reason enough to book. Two or more means stop using the fireplace until it is checked.
How a Visit Works
- Book. Call (817) 518-6131 or send the form. We give you a time window and a firm price on the phone.
- Protect and sweep. Drop cloths from the door to the hearth, fireplace sealed, HEPA vacuum on, every flue brushed.
- Inspect. Camera up the flue, then the cap, crown and flashing from the roof.
- Show you. Before and after photos and a written list of anything that needs attention, with prices. You decide what happens next.
The U.S. Fire Administration lists heating equipment, including fireplaces and chimneys, among the leading causes of home fires each winter, and a yearly sweep is the single cheapest way to take your chimney off that list. See USFA heating fire safety.
