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 & Sweep Near You in Fort Worth, TX
If you’re searching for our Chimney Cleaning & Sweep services near you in Fort Worth, Level Two Chimney Co. covers the city and the surrounding communities – same week, written price before any work starts, camera inspection included. Call (682) 499-2712 and a live person answers, any time of day or night.
We’ve completed more than 38,000 chimney inspections and cleanings across the Fort Worth metro since 2009. Every single one came with a written price before the technician started, a documented photo record when it was done, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise on top. That isn’t a sales line – it’s Clause 1 and Clause 4 of the Haven Standard, written into how every job runs, without exception.
Fort Worth homeowners researching this are usually asking the same three things: how much will it cost, will someone actually show up when they say they will, and what proof do they get that the work was done right. We put the price range on this page, assign a named, background-checked technician before the appointment, and send a text when that tech is on the way. The photo record and written warranty are delivered when the job closes – not mailed later, not emailed “soon.”
Fast, Local Chimney Cleaning & Sweep
Most Fort Worth appointments book within a few business days, and we keep schedule flexibility specifically for situations where the fireplace is in active use or a real estate transaction is moving fast. Calls to (682) 499-2712 reach a live person around the clock – no voicemail, no web form that routes to a queue.
Coverage runs across the full Fort Worth area: central neighborhoods like Fairmount, Tanglewood, and Mistletoe Heights; west-side areas including Westover Hills and Ridglea; and communities that stretch out toward the airport corridor and beyond. If your property is within the Fort Worth metro, we’re already familiar with the housing stock, the local flue configurations that come with older brick construction, and the Creosote Removal needs that arise when North Texas winters push homeowners to run their fireplaces hard through a short but cold season.
Every visit includes a Level 1 Inspection baseline plus an NFPA 211 Level 2 camera-scan inspection – the camera goes down the flue, not a flashlight from the top. You get real footage, real documentation, and a written scope of anything the inspection finds before any repair discussion begins.
Areas We Cover
Level Two Chimney Co. serves Fort Worth and the surrounding communities across Tarrant County. If you’re in River Oaks, Haltom City, Lake Worth, Saginaw, White Settlement, Watauga, or Forest Hill, you’re well within our regular service area. We also take appointments throughout the broader Fort Worth metro – from the older neighborhoods near downtown where brick chimneys date to the 1940s and 50s, out to newer construction in the growth corridors north and southwest of the city.
For a full look at our Chimney Cleaning & Sweep in Fort Worth service – including detailed pricing, what a Level 2 inspection covers, and how we document the work – that page has everything laid out. And if you want to start from the top, the home page outlines the full range of services Level Two Chimney Co. provides across the Fort Worth area.
One thing that comes up frequently with Haltom City and River Oaks properties: a lot of the homes there were built between the late 1950s and early 1970s, and the flue liners in that era – often unlined clay tile or bare masonry – show deterioration patterns that a flashlight inspection simply won’t catch. The camera finds it. That’s not a pitch; it’s what the footage shows, and we document it either way.

AfterWhat Fort Worth Chimney Cleaning Actually Costs
Fireplace Cleaning and sweep service in Fort Worth typically runs between $149 and $299 for a standard fireplace, depending on flue size, level of creosote buildup, and whether the system has been cleaned within the past two years. The NFPA 211 Level 2 camera inspection is included – it’s not an add-on.
| Service | Typical Fort Worth Price Range |
|---|---|
| Standard chimney sweep (wood-burning fireplace) | $149 – $229 |
| Heavy creosote removal (Class II or Class III buildup) | $229 – $399+ |
| Level 2 camera inspection (included with cleaning) | Included |
| Gas fireplace cleaning and inspection | $129 – $199 |
| Second fireplace or insert (same visit) | Reduced rate – ask when booking |
The written price is delivered before work starts – Haven Standard Clause 1. If the camera reveals something that changes the scope, the technician stops, shows you the footage, and writes a new price. No work proceeds without your written approval. That’s not a policy we added recently; it’s how every job has run since 2009.
If you’ve already received a written estimate from another company, bring it in. We offer a Free Second Opinion on any written estimate – no obligation, no pressure to rebook.
What the Cleaning Actually Includes
A Level Two Chimney Co. cleaning covers more than running a brush through the flue. Here’s what happens on every visit:
- Camera-scan inspection of the flue liner – footage down the full length, looking for cracking, spalling (surface deterioration of the tile or masonry), offset joints, or obstructions. Spalling in a clay tile liner sounds technical; it means the surface is breaking apart and debris can fall into the firebox or, in bad cases, allow combustion gases to move through the wall.
- Smoke chamber inspection – the smoke chamber sits directly above the firebox and is one of the most common spots for mortar deterioration in Fort Worth homes with active fireplaces. We document its condition in writing.
- Creosote classification – Class I is light and powdery, removable with a standard brush. Class II is harder and tarry. Class III is a glazed, shiny deposit that requires chemical treatment before mechanical removal. The technician tells you which class is present and what removal involves before any work starts.
- Firebox and damper check – damper operation, seal condition, and firebox integrity documented in the written report.
- Chimney cap and crown visual check – crown is the concrete or mortar cap at the very top of the chimney stack; a cracked crown lets water in, which accelerates liner and masonry damage.
- Documented photo record delivered on completion – Haven Standard Clause 4. The photos are yours; they go into a permanent file.
Materials used for any repairs identified during the visit are sourced through Haven’s buying network – DuraFlex, HeatShield, Gelco, Olympia Chimney, Famco, and Copperfield. That procurement channel exists specifically to keep costs down without substituting cheaper materials.
Why the Camera Matters in Fort Worth
Fort Worth sits in a climate zone where the fireplace season is real but compressed. Homeowners run their fireplaces hard from November through February, then the system sits unused through the long Texas summer. That pattern – heavy use, long dormancy, the occasional severe ice event – produces specific kinds of liner damage that a visual check from the firebox or rooftop won’t reveal.
In Saginaw and Lake Worth, we regularly find clay tile liners where the freeze-thaw cycles from a hard winter have cracked joints that were fine the previous season. In older Haltom City properties, we’ve pulled camera footage showing corbeled smoke chambers with mortar erosion that’s been in progress for years without the homeowner knowing. In the Tanglewood and Ridglea neighborhoods, the late-century construction often used metal-insert liners that show fatigue at the seams after a decade of use.
None of that shows up on a flashlight inspection. The camera shows it on screen, in real time, while the technician is still on site. That’s why Level Two made camera-scan documentation the standard at founding in 2009 – not as a premium tier, just as what a real inspection is.
A Note on Safety: What Not to DIY
Chimney brushing from the firebox opening is something some homeowners do between professional cleanings, and for light Class I creosote on an accessible flue it’s not inherently dangerous. But anything involving Class III creosote, a damaged liner, or work on the exterior crown and cap should stay with a trained technician. Class III creosote – the glazed, shiny type – can ignite at lower temperatures and spread fast. Working around a damaged liner without knowing the extent of the damage is a fire risk that a camera image makes visible and a flashlight doesn’t. We’re not saying this to generate a service call; we’re saying it because it’s accurate and because the NFPA 211 standard exists for exactly this reason.

What Our Customers Say
"They ran a camera down the flue and showed me the cracked tiles on a screen. The previous company had swept it twice and never mentioned it."
- Gregory F."They told me the flue was fine and I did not need a liner. Charged me for the inspection and nothing else. That is why I have called them twice since."
- Hal M."We were buying the house and needed a real inspection. The report had photographs, the standard it was done to, and a clear repair figure. The seller paid for the repair."
