Emberly Chimney Cleaners in Iowa
Emberly Chimney Cleaners Co sales & service handles chimney cleaning and camera-scan inspections for homeowners across Iowa, from the metro cores to the inner suburbs where most houses were built between 1995 and 2010. The name isn’t decorative. It refers to NFPA 211 Level 2, the inspection standard we work to on every visit, camera down the flue, written price before work starts, and a documented photo record when it’s done. Since 2009, we’ve inspected and cleaned more than 38,000 chimneys without ever asking a customer to accept a price after the fact.
Why Iowa Homeowners Choose Emberly Chimney Cleaners
The thing Iowa homeowners tell us they’re tired of is the flashlight look. A tech shows up, shines a light up the flue, says it looks fine, and charges for an inspection. That isn’t an inspection. It’s a guess. We made camera-scan documentation the default in 2009, years before insurers or regulators asked for it, and that practice became Clause 4 of the Haven Standard: Evidence on every job. Every visit includes a documented photo record showing what we found, what we cleaned, and what the flue looked like after. You keep the record. It’s yours, not an add-on.
Price works the same way. Clause 1 of the Haven Standard says it plainly: Have it in writing. A written price, written scope, and written warranty are delivered before anyone starts. No exceptions, no “call for a quote,” no door upsell after the tech is already in your living room. If another company gave you a written estimate, we’ll look at it and give you a free second opinion. And if work isn’t done right, the 365-Day Done Right Promise applies: we make it right. That promise is stamped on every job, not tucked into fine print.
We also know Iowa homeowners care about who’s coming to the house. Every tech is background-checked, uniformed, and named on the page with the license number published. You get a text when they’re on the way. When you call, a live person answers, 24/7. Not a voicemail, not a web form. That’s the H.A.V.E.N. code working as it should: Arrive on schedule, Verified crews, No surprises. The materials we use come from manufacturers like DuraFlex, HeatShield, and Olympia Chimney, sourced through Haven’s buying network to keep prices honest without cutting corners on parts.
Backed by the Haven Family

Emberly Chimney Cleaners is independently owned and operated, but every job carries the weight of the Haven Standard behind it. Haven was formed in 1998 with a single condition: any company carrying the name agrees to five published clauses covering price, arrival, crews, evidence, and no upsell. That standard applies to every chimney cleaning and inspection we do across Iowa, and it’s the reason the name Emberly means what it says, not just on the truck, but in the flue.
