We’ve been driving to Southlake since 2009, and by now we know the difference between a Timarron estate with four fireplaces and a single-flue patio home off Southlake Boulevard. That local knowledge changes what we pack, how we price, and what we find.

Why Emberly Chimney Cleaners Denton Is Southlake’s Preferred Fireplace Services Company

Southlake homeowners research before they call. We built our entire process around that fact.

Every job starts with a written price, written scope, and written warranty delivered before work begins - Haven Standard Clause 1, H.A.V.E.N. “Have it in writing.” No exceptions. Our 38,000+ chimney inspections since 2009 include a documented photo record on every visit, required under Haven Standard Clause 4. When we say we’ll show you what we found, we mean timestamped camera footage from inside your flue, not a flashlight beam and a verbal summary.

Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and assigned by name. You’ll get a text when they’re en route. Live phone support runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week - a real person, not a voicemail tree. And our 365-Day Done Right Promise means if it’s not done right, we make it right.

We also offer a Free Second Opinion on any competitor’s written estimate. Bring us their scope and price; we’ll review it against what we see in your flue.

Our Fireplace Services in Southlake

Gas Fireplace Service

Southlake’s master-suite gas-log units and great-room inserts see light use - a few cold-front evenings per winter - but that intermittent firing pattern causes its own problems. Valve seals dry out. Pilot assemblies accumulate dust from the long idle months. Venting configurations in custom homes often run longer horizontal distances than code-minimum specs, which requires precise combustion analysis we perform with a digital manometer. A standard gas fireplace service in Southlake runs $195-$295 and includes burner inspection, thermocouple testing, and venting verification.

Wood Burning Fireplace

This is where Southlake’s housing stock gets complicated. The great-room hearths in Timarron, Coventry Manor, and Carroll ISD neighborhoods were built to custom dimensions - wider than standard, deeper than standard, often with raised hearths and angled fireboxes that don’t match off-the-shelf brush kits. Our crews carry extended rods, polypropylene whips, and hand brushes sized for these non-standard chambers. A wood-burning fireplace cleaning and Level 2 inspection in Southlake typically runs $285-$385 for the first flue, with reduced rates for additional units on the same property.

Fireplace Insert

Inserts retrofitted into original masonry openings are common in Southlake’s 1990s builds, and they’re often improperly sized for the flue they’re venting into. We see excessive creosote buildup where the liner connection leaks, and cracked refractory panels from over-firing during those rare cold snaps when homeowners finally light a big blaze. Our insert service includes full removal (when accessible), firebox inspection, and resealing of the liner connection with materials from Olympia Chimney or DuraFlex.

Damper Repair

Factory-installed throat dampers on 15-35-year-old Southlake homes are failing now at predictable rates. The stamped steel warps, the pivot pins corrode, and the seal becomes so loose you can feel the draft from across the room. We stock replacement dampers from Famco and can often install a top-sealing damper the same visit if the throat assembly is beyond repair. Damper repair or replacement in Southlake runs $245-$485 depending on access and whether the firebox surround needs refractory work.

Firebox Repair

Spalling brick, deteriorated mortar, and cracked refractory panels are standard findings in Southlake’s original masonry fireboxes. We apply HeatShield cerfractory resurfacing where the damage is surface-level, or recommend partial rebuild with new firebrick when the structural integrity is compromised. Every firebox repair includes pre- and post-camera documentation.

Fireplace Conversion

Converting a wood-burning fireplace to gas logs is the most common major service we perform in Southlake. The work involves gas line extension (by a licensed plumber, coordinated through our network), burner and log set installation, and verification that the existing flue can handle the new venting load. A typical conversion runs $1,850-$3,400 including the gas run, and we won’t start until you’ve seen a written scope and price.

Trusted Brands We Service in Southlake

We source materials through Haven’s buying network to keep customer prices honest: DuraFlex stainless liners for relining jobs, HeatShield cerfractory resurfacing for firebox repair, Olympia Chimney components for cap and chase cover replacements, and Famco dampers and hardware. For Southlake customers, this means we typically stock the non-standard sizes your custom firebox requires rather than ordering after the fact and rescheduling. Our Dallas-Fort Worth warehouse carries extended brush sets and custom-dimensioned caps that match the oversized chases common in Southlake’s estate neighborhoods.

Common Fireplace Services Problems We See in Southlake Homes

• Outdoor masonry fireplaces blocked by summer debris. Southlake’s large patio entertaining areas sit untouched from January to October. By late September, wasp nests, spider webs, and leaf litter completely block the flue. We clean these as standard chimney service calls, but the access is often more complex than an indoor unit.
• Cracked chimney crowns from clay soil movement. North Texas expansive clay causes subtle seasonal foundation shifting. On 15-35-year-old homes, this gradually cracks the chimney crown and opens mortar joints, letting water into the chase where it degrades the flue liner unseen until a camera inspection finds it.
• Creosote progression from infrequent burning. Southlake homeowners use fireplaces during cold fronts only - short, hot fires separated by months of idle time. First-degree creosote sits through the humid summer and hardens to second- or third-degree glaze, which standard brushing won’t remove and which presents a real chimney fire hazard.
• Factory dampers that no longer seal. The original throat dampers in Southlake’s 1990s-2000s housing stock are reaching end of service life. A warped damper costs you conditioned air year-round and can allow down-drafts that blow soot into the room during storms.
