Why Ember Is One of the Top-Rated Chimney Sweeps in Fort Worth and Colleyville
Ember Chimney & Fireplace holds a 5.0 Google rating across 53 reviews on its profiles (Colleyville 5.0 from 35 reviews, Alpharetta 5.0 from 18), is a BBB Accredited Business with an A rating, and sends CSIA-certified technicians to every job, as checked on Google and bbb.org in October 2026. Every sweep in Fort Worth and Colleyville ends with photos of what we found and a written price before any repair, and the estimate is free.
“Top-rated” is a claim anyone can make. This page gives you the five checks that separate a good chimney sweep from a cheap one, and shows how Ember measures up on each, so you can compare us with any other company in Tarrant County.
Five Ways to Check Any Chimney Sweep in Fort Worth
- Certification you can look up. The Chimney Safety Institute of America certifies technicians on the NFPA 211 fire code. Ask for the name and check it on the CSIA directory.
- A rating with recent reviews. A 5.0 from 12 reviews in 2021 means less than a 4.9 from 3,000 that is still growing. Read the newest ten and look for the words sweep, inspection, photos and price.
- A BBB listing. Accreditation means the company agreed to the BBB’s standards and answers complaints. The rating letter is public.
- Photos and a written price before the work. The sweep that finds a cracked crown should show you the crack. A verbal “you need a liner” on the roof is how homeowners end up paying for repairs they did not need.
- A real local office. An address you can drive to and a local phone number mean the company will still be there when the warranty question comes up.

What a Chimney Sweep From Ember Includes
- Rods and brushes sized to your flue, plus a HEPA vacuum running the whole time.
- The firebox, smoke shelf and smoke chamber, not just the flue.
- A Level 1 safety inspection of the chimney, cap, crown and damper.
- A photo report of what we found, sent the same day.
- A written price for any repair, free, good for 30 days.
The price is $99 for the sweep and inspection through the Colleyville and Fort Worth offices, or $149 for the Chimney Safety Package, which adds the photo report and credits the full $149 toward any repair booked within 30 days. Fort Worth companies publish $129 to $170 for a comparable sweep; see how much a chimney sweep costs for the sources. Details of the service are on the chimney sweep page.
When to Book
Spring and summer are the quiet months, and the best time to clear last winter’s creosote before a humid Texas summer bakes it in; our post on why a spring sweep saves money explains. If it is already fall, book now: after the first cold front, waits across Tarrant County run two to three weeks.
