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 Company in Colleyville, TX
Alcott Chimney Sweep is the chimney company Colleyville homeowners call when a fireplace hasn’t been opened in years, or when three fireplaces in one house all need attention on the same visit. Colleyville’s estate homes, most built between the mid-1980s and early 2000s, often have two to four fireplaces under one roof, and many of those flues have never been evaluated since the day the gas logs went in. We work differently here because the houses demand it: multi-flue audits, clay-soil crack patterns, and gas log conversions that were never properly vented. If you’re not sure what’s going on inside your chimney, call (336) 863-3889 and we’ll tell you straight.
Why Colleyville Homes Are Different
Colleyville sits on Blackland Prairie clay that expands and contracts through every wet-dry cycle North Texas throws at it. That movement is hard on chimney crowns and mortar joints, opening hairline cracks that let water into the flue system long before you see a stain on the ceiling. We routinely find crown fractures and spalled brick on homes that look immaculate from the street.
The housing stock itself adds another layer. Custom and semi-custom builds from roughly 1983 to 2005 dominate, with high-pitched rooflines and chase-style chimneys typical of 1990s DFW luxury construction. The bigger issue: many of those homes had decorative gas log sets dropped into original wood-burning fireboxes without a liner sleeve or damper plate. That was a common production-luxury shortcut of the era, and it means a large share of Colleyville chimneys look inspected on the surface but have never had a camera run down the flue since original construction. Add the long, hot summers when chimney swifts and starlings nest in unused flues, and you’ve got a set of conditions most chimney companies never plan for. We do.
Our Main Colleyville Services
Three services cover almost everything Colleyville homeowners call us about: thorough chimney sweeping, camera-backed chimney inspections, and gas fireplace repair. Each has its own Colleyville page with pricing and local details.
Chimney Sweep in Colleyville
A standard sweep in Colleyville isn’t always standard. When a house has three fireplaces, we’re cleaning three flues, checking three dampers, and looking at three sets of gas log components. Creosote, the tar-like buildup that causes chimney fires, isn’t the only thing we remove; we also clear out bird nests, dead foliage, and the kind of debris that accumulates during a long Texas summer. We protect the hearth and surrounding flooring on every job, and you’ll get a written price before the brushes come off the truck. Chimney Sweep in Colleyville covers what to expect line by line.
Chimney Inspection in Colleyville
Given how many Colleyville gas log conversions were installed without a liner sleeve, an inspection here should always include a camera run, not just a flashlight look from the top. We check flue integrity, crown condition, mortar joints, damper function, and whether the venting setup matches the fireplace you actually use today. It’s the difference between knowing a chimney works and hoping it does. Chimney Inspection in Colleyville walks through the three inspection levels and which one fits your situation.
Gas Fireplace Repair in Colleyville
Gas log sets from the 1990s and 2000s are now hitting the age where thermopiles fail, pilot assemblies clog, and valves refuse to stay lit. In Colleyville, we also see venting issues that were never right from day one: logs in a wood-burning firebox with no damper plate, no liner, and draft characteristics that were never meant for gas. We repair and replace using professional trade components, not box-store substitutes. Gas Fireplace Repair in Colleyville details common failures and what a repair actually costs.
