What Collegeville Homeowners Say About Emberly Chimney Cleaners Collegeville
We’ve cleaned and inspected more than 38,000 chimneys since 2009, and every single one left with a written price, a photo record, and a date for the next sweep. Collegeville homeowners don’t leave reviews because we asked nicely. They leave them because we showed them the Class III creosote glazing their flue liner, named the fix in dollars before we touched a tool, and handed them the proof to keep. Here’s what that actually looks like on their end.
Recent Reviews
“We bought a place near Perkiomen Trail last fall and the inspector said the chimney ‘looked fine.’ Corrine’s crew ran the camera and found the flue liner had a vertical crack running from the smoke chamber to the first flue tile. She showed us the footage, wrote up a heat-reflective repair with HeatShield at $1,840, and had the warranty terms on the same page. No phone tag, no ‘we’ll see when we get in there.'”

“Three companies gave us three different stories about why our fireplace smoked into the living room. One wanted a full liner replacement at $4,200. Emberly came out, camera-scanned the whole run, and found the smoke chamber was parged unevenly, creating a backdraft. $680 to parge it smooth with Chamber-Tech 2000. They emailed the photos that night under Clause 4. That was two winters ago, zero smoke since.”

“Our chimney cap was rusted through and water was pooling on the smoke shelf. I had a written estimate from another company for a stainless cap at $890. Emberly’s free second opinion found the crown was also spalling, which the first crew never mentioned. They sourced a Gelco cap through Haven’s buying network and sealed the crown with CrownCoat for $1,150 total. Saved me a second leak and a second call.”

“I manage a rental near Ursinus College and the tenant reported a ‘weird smell’ in January. Corrine’s tech found a partially blocked flue with Class II creosote and a bird nest above the damper. Swept it, camera-inspected the full length, documented everything for my insurance file. Written price was $340 before he started. I had the photo record in my inbox before the tenant’s next rent check cleared.”

“We skipped sweeping for six years because the last company made us feel stupid for asking questions. Emberly explained the NFPA 211 standard in plain terms, showed us the glaze buildup on the camera, and didn’t push a liner sale when the tiles were still sound. Just a thorough sweep, a moisture reading on the masonry, and a written note to check back in two years. $265. Done.”

“The technician texted when he was fifteen minutes out, uniform and license visible. He found the chimney crown had a hairline crack that wasn’t leaking yet but would after the next freeze-thaw cycle in Collegeville’s climate. CrownSeal application, $420, with a photo of the crack before and after. The 365-Day Done Right Promise was stamped right on the invoice. Haven Standard Clause 1 meant I knew the price before he opened his truck.”

Why Customers Trust Us
Every review above points to the same four things, and they’re not accidental. They’re Clause 1, Clause 4, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise, running since 2009.
The written price before work starts isn’t a courtesy. It’s the H.A.V.E.N. standard we operate under, and it means no homeowner in Collegeville watches a number climb after the truck is already in the driveway. The camera-scan inspection and documented photo record, required under Clause 4, means you don’t take our word for the condition of your flue liner, smoke chamber, or crown integrity. You take the JPEGs.
Our materials come through Haven’s buying network from DuraFlex, HeatShield, Gelco, Olympia Chimney, Famco, and Copperfield. That network exists specifically to keep customer prices honest, not to pad a markup chain. And if another company has given you a written estimate for liner work, masonry repair, or a cap replacement, we’ll review it free. Second opinions cost nothing. Finding out you were oversold costs plenty.
Background-checked, uniformed technicians. License number on every page. A text when we’re on the way. Live person on the phone, not a voicemail tree. These aren’t perks. They’re the minimum for letting someone inspect the system that vents carbon monoxide out of your house.
Call (610) 884-0366 to book. We’ll name the price before we start, show you what we found, and leave you the proof.
