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 Fort Worth, TX
A chimney sweep and inspection in Fort Worth typically runs $189-$289 for a standard masonry fireplace, with Level 2 camera inspections included on every visit. We’re Level Two Chimney Co., and we’ve completed more than 38,000 chimney inspections and cleanings since 2009 - every one with a written price before work started and a documented photo record when it was done. In Fort Worth, our crews find that Blackland Prairie clay soil has already cracked or tilted the crown on roughly one in three masonry chimneys we inspect, especially in neighborhoods with 1950s-1970s ranch stock. Call (682) 499-2712 for a free estimate.
Why Fort Worth Homes Are Different
Fort Worth sits atop expansive Blackland Prairie clay soil that heaves and contracts dramatically with moisture cycles year-round, gradually torquing and cracking masonry chimneys even on relatively young homes. This makes structural inspection as critical as soot removal here. Unlike neighboring cities with more stable soils, Fort Worth chimney technicians routinely find cracked fireboxes, separated flashing, and leaning crowns that are direct products of local geology, not age or neglect.
The housing stock reinforces the risk. Wedgwood, Eastwood, and Meadowbrook are dense with 1950s-1970s ranch-style homes carrying original wood-burning masonry fireplaces. In historic Fairmount, Mistletoe Heights, and Ryan Place, unrenovated brick chimneys have absorbed nearly a century of clay-soil movement. Winters are mild enough that most residents burn only a handful of times per season, but sudden Blue Norther cold fronts - dropping temperatures 30-40°F within hours - trigger unplanned fireplace use after months of dormancy, precisely when chimneys are most likely to harbor bird nests, debris blockages, or dried creosote from prior low-temperature burns.
Our Main Fort Worth Services
Fort Worth homeowners call us most often for these three services, each with its own dedicated page:
Chimney Cleaning & Sweep in Fort Worth
Our standard sweep includes NFPA 211 Level 2 camera inspection, soot and creosote removal from the firebox through the flue, and a documented photo record delivered on completion. In Fort Worth, we pay particular attention to crown cracks and firebox separation caused by clay-soil movement - issues a basic sweep misses. Chimney Cleaning & Sweep in Fort Worth
Chimney Repair in Fort Worth
We repoint mortar, rebuild crowns, replace flashing, and stabilize leaning stacks. Fort Worth’s soil conditions mean we often repair cracks that opened within five to ten years of construction, not decades. Every repair starts with camera documentation and ends with a written warranty. Chimney Repair in Fort Worth
Fireplace Services in Fort Worth
Gas log installation, fireplace door fitting, and smoke chamber parging for Fort Worth’s mix of vintage masonry and newer prefab units. We verify proper draft performance after any modification, critical in homes where soil shift has altered chimney alignment. Fireplace Services in Fort Worth

Before
AfterChimney Cap & Crown in Fort Worth
Fort Worth’s clay soil doesn’t just crack foundations - it torques chimney crowns until they separate from the flue tile, creating direct water entry paths into the masonry core. A failed crown in this climate means accelerated freeze-thaw damage during Blue Norther temperature plunges, and we’ve replaced caps on homes in Wedgwood that were installed less than a decade prior. Our Chimney Cap & Crown service addresses each component with materials from Copperfield and Gelco, sourced through our Haven buying network.
Crown Repair
Signs you need it
Hairline cracks spreading across the crown surface, pieces of concrete spalling onto the roof below, or visible separation between the crown and the top course of brick.
What it costs in Fort Worth
Crown repair typically runs $450-$850 depending on crack extent and whether the flue tile needs resetting.
How we do it
We grind out cracked material, apply a bonding layer, and pour new crown mix sloped to shed water, with a documented photo record before and after per Haven Standard Clause 4.
Cap Replacement
Signs you need it
Rust holes in galvanized steel caps, missing mesh sides that allowed bird or squirrel entry, or a cap that blew off in a Texas thunderstorm.
What it costs in Fort Worth
Cap replacement ranges from $280-$550 for standard single-flue models, with multi-flue caps running higher.
How we do it
We measure the flue tile and crown footprint, fabricate or order the correct cap from our Copperfield inventory, and secure it with masonry anchors rated for Fort Worth wind exposure.
What Chimney Cap & Crown Costs in Fort Worth
| Item | Typical range in Fort Worth |
|---|---|
| Crown repair | $450-$850 |
| Cap replacement (single-flue) | $280-$550 |
| Crown coating (preventive) | $350-$600 |
How long does a chimney crown repair last in Fort Worth?
A properly repaired crown lasts 15-25 years, but clay-soil movement can reopen stress cracks sooner; we inspect crown integrity during every annual sweep. Call (682) 499-2712 to schedule.
Can a cracked crown wait until next season?
Water intrusion through a cracked crown accelerates brick spalling and liner deterioration, especially during Fort Worth’s freeze-thaw cycles; we document the crack depth with camera footage so you can see the actual risk. Call (682) 499-2712 for a free look.
Chimney Liner & Rebuild in Fort Worth
In Fairmount and Ryan Place, we repeatedly find original 1920s-1940s brick chimneys slowly racked by clay-soil movement until the firebox-to-smoke-chamber joint has opened enough to pass carbon monoxide into living spaces. Homeowners scheduled a routine cleaning and ended up needing a liner or repoint job they never anticipated. Our Chimney Liner & Rebuild service uses DuraFlex and HeatShield materials to restore safe venting paths in compromised masonry.
Stainless Steel Liner
Signs you need it
Flue tiles with vertical cracks, gaps between tile joints visible on camera scan, or a smoke test showing leakage into wall cavities.
What it costs in Fort Worth
Stainless steel liner installation typically runs $2,800-$4,500 for a standard masonry fireplace.
How we do it
We measure the flue with a video scan, drop a correctly sized DuraFlex liner, top it with a proper connector, and pressure-test the joint before signing off.
Partial Rebuild
Signs you need it
Leaning stack above the roofline, courses of brick separating from the chimney face, or a crown that has shifted independently of the flue.
What it costs in Fort Worth
Partial rebuilds from the roof up generally fall between $3,500-$7,000 depending on height and brick matching.
How we do it
We dismantle to sound masonry, rebuild with matching brick and proper lateral reinforcement, and install a new sloped crown before documenting with photo record.
What Chimney Liner & Rebuild Costs in Fort Worth
| Item | Typical range in Fort Worth |
|---|---|
| Stainless steel liner | $2,800-$4,500 |
| Partial rebuild (roof up) | $3,500-$7,000 |
| Liner replacement (flexible) | $2,200-$3,800 |
Do I really need a new liner, or can it be patched?
Cracked flue tiles cannot be reliably patched - NFPA 211 requires a continuous venting path, and we show you the camera footage so you can see the breach yourself. Call (682) 499-2712 for a free second opinion on any written estimate.
How disruptive is a chimney rebuild?
Partial rebuilds above the roofline keep the fireplace usable; full rebuilds require temporary venting shutdown, but we coordinate scheduling to minimize outage and provide written timeline before starting. Call (682) 499-2712 to discuss your project.

What Fort Worth Customers Say
"Cap and crown replaced after water was getting in. Price was quoted in writing, and they showed me the mortar failure first."
- Neil O."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."
