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.

Fast, Local Chimney Cleaning & Sweep
Most Dallas-area homeowners who call us in the morning are scheduled within the same business day or the next. We don’t run a call center that dispatches strangers – the technician assigned to your appointment is background-checked, uniformed, and identified by name before they arrive. You’ll get a text when they’re on the way.
Dallas winters move fast. A cold front can push through on a Tuesday and by Wednesday evening you want a fire going. That’s exactly when a chimney that hasn’t been swept since last season becomes a problem. Creosote Removal matters because buildup – the tar-like residue left by wood combustion – is the leading cause of chimney fires, and in the Dallas area we regularly find Class II creosote deposits in fireplaces that were used through a single mild winter without a cleaning. Class II means it has started to harden and flake; Class III means it has glazed over and now requires chemical treatment before mechanical removal is safe.
We’ve inspected and cleaned more than 38,000 chimneys since 2009. Every one of those jobs came with a written price before work started and a photo record when it was done. That’s not a policy we adopted because someone asked for it – it’s been the standard since day one under the Haven Standard.
What “Near Me” Actually Means for Your Chimney
Proximity matters beyond just response time. A sweep company that works your specific neighborhood understands what your chimneys look like. In older Dallas neighborhoods like Lakewood or M Streets, we consistently find older terra-cotta flue liners with offset smoke chambers during Fireplace Cleaning visits that require a camera to inspect properly – a flashlight look from the firebox floor misses the bends entirely. In newer construction around Frisco-adjacent zip codes in the northern metro, the issue is often a factory-built fireplace with a thin metal liner that wasn’t designed for heavy seasonal use.
The point: the right sweep company isn’t just nearby. It’s one that has seen your type of chimney before and can tell you specifically what it found – with photos to back it up.
Under Haven Standard Clause 4, every visit generates a documented photo record. That archive goes to you. It’s yours. If a second company ever tells you something different about your chimney’s condition, you have visual evidence to compare against. We’ll also give you a free second opinion on any written estimate from a competitor – bring us the paperwork.

- Dallas – including Lakewood, Oak Cliff, Lake Highlands, Preston Hollow, and the M Streets

- Mesquite – high proportion of 1970s and 1980s homes with original clay tile liners
- Garland – mix of masonry and factory-built fireplaces; we see a lot of deteriorated damper hardware in this area
- Irving – Las Colinas corridor and surrounding residential areas
- Richardson – heavy concentration of mid-century builds with smoke chambers that weren’t parged smooth at construction

This is our home base. The Level Two Chimney Co. home page has the full service map if you want to verify your zip code.
What’s Included on Every Visit
Before we start, you receive a written price and a written scope of work. Not a verbal estimate. Not “we’ll figure it out once we’re up there.” A document, in writing, that you can hold onto. Haven Standard Clause 1 – “Have it in writing” – isn’t a marketing phrase; it’s a hard rule on every job we run.
Here’s what a standard chimney cleaning and sweep includes:
- NFPA 211 Level 2 camera scan of the flue liner – the camera goes down from the top, and you see what we see
- Mechanical sweep of the firebox, smoke shelf, and smoke chamber
- Inspection of the crown (the concrete cap at the top of the chimney stack) for cracking or spalling
- Damper check – operation, seal integrity, and visible condition
- Documented photo record delivered to you at job completion – this is Haven Standard Clause 4, not an add-on
- Written warranty on the work performed
If we find something during the inspection – a cracked flue tile, a deteriorated smoke chamber, a chimney cap that’s letting water in – we document it with photos and give you a written price to fix it. You decide. No pressure, no urgency theatre.
Chimney Cleaning Pricing in Dallas
Chimney cleaning in Dallas typically runs between $149 and $299 for a standard wood-burning fireplace sweep and Level 2 inspection. Here’s how the numbers break down:
| Service | Typical Price Range (Dallas Market) |
|---|---|
| Standard chimney sweep + Level 2 camera inspection | $149 – $229 |
| Heavy creosote (Class II) removal | $229 – $299 |

These are Dallas market ranges based on actual jobs. Your written price will be exact – determined after the camera inspection, before any work starts. Call (972) 284-1392 and we’ll walk through what to expect for your specific fireplace type.
Why the Camera Matters (and Why Most Companies Skip It)
A NFPA 211 Level 2 inspection requires a camera. That’s the standard. The camera travels down the flue liner and captures the full interior – every joint, every offset, every crack. Without it, a technician inspecting a two-story chimney is making educated guesses about the section of liner they can’t see from the firebox or the roofline.
Level Two Chimney Co. made camera-scan documentation the default in 2009, years before most insurers or local inspectors started asking for it. What that means for you: the photo record you receive isn’t just a receipt. It’s a baseline. If your chimney’s condition changes year over year, you’ll have documentation to compare against. If you’re buying a home in Dallas and a seller’s inspection report doesn’t include camera footage of the flue, that’s worth asking about.
In Highland Park specifically, we’ve found flue liner separations – gaps between individual terra-cotta liner sections – that were completely invisible from below. Those gaps allow combustion gases, including carbon monoxide, to migrate into the home’s wall cavity. That’s the kind of finding that only shows up on camera, and it’s exactly why the Level 2 standard exists.
Dallas Chimney Conditions Worth Knowing
Dallas sits in a climate that’s harder on masonry than most homeowners expect. The city averages around 36 freeze events per year, and the freeze-thaw cycle – water absorbs into brick and mortar, freezes, expands, then thaws – is the primary driver of spalling (surface flaking of brick) and crown cracking. Add the alkaline clay soil that causes foundation movement in many Dallas neighborhoods, and chimney stacks in areas like Oak Cliff or Lakewood can develop hairline cracks in the mortar joints that widen over years.
The North Texas burn season runs roughly October through March. If your last cleaning was before last winter and you used the fireplace more than three or four times, scheduling a sweep before the next season is straightforward preventive maintenance – not an emergency, but not something to defer indefinitely either.
Materials we use for repair work – when repair is needed – come from DuraFlex, HeatShield, Gelco, Olympia Chimney, Famco, and Copperfield, procured through Haven’s buying network. We named those suppliers for a reason: you can look them up. They are trade-grade materials, not hardware-store substitutes.

How much does chimney cleaning cost near me in Dallas?
A standard chimney sweep and Level 2 camera inspection in Dallas runs between $149 and $229 for most wood-burning fireplaces. Heavy or glazed creosote deposits push that higher – $299 to $499 or more depending on the class of buildup and what treatment is required. Your written price is determined after the camera inspection and delivered before any work starts. Call (972) 284-1392 for a free estimate – we’ll give you a price range for your fireplace type over the phone and an exact written quote on arrival.
Do you take calls after hours or on weekends?
Yes. Live phone support runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week – not a voicemail system, not a web form. If you’re calling on a Sunday evening because you noticed something before lighting your first fire of the season, someone will pick up. Call (972) 284-1392.
What’s included in a Level 2 chimney inspection?
A Level 1 Inspection is a visual check from the firebox, but a Level 2 inspection, as defined by NFPA 211, requires a camera scan of the accessible portions of the flue liner. At Level Two Chimney Co., that means the camera goes down from the top of the chimney, and you receive a documented photo record of what it found. Every visit includes inspection of the firebox, smoke chamber, damper, crown, and exterior masonry, plus a written report and a written price for any work recommended. The camera inspection and photo record are standard on every visit – Haven Standard Clause 4 – not an upsell.
Is it cheaper to repair or replace a damaged flue liner?
It depends on the type and extent of damage. A cracked terra-cotta tile liner in a Dallas home can often be relined with a stainless steel liner (DuraFlex or similar) or repaired with a cast-in-place system (HeatShield is the common product for smoke chamber and liner repair) for significantly less than a full tear-out and rebuild. We’ll show you the camera footage, describe the damage in plain terms, and give you a written price for each option. You pick what makes sense for your situation. Call (972) 284-1392 and we can talk through what you’re seeing before you commit to anything.
