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.

How Copperfield Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Chimney 26300-series gas inserts: pilot assembly carbon fouling. The 26300 line runs a standing pilot that sits close to the burner pan. In Lansdale’s hard water zone, mineral scale from humid summer shutdowns bakes onto the pilot orifice. We pull the assembly, ultrasonic-clean the pilot tube, and replace the thermopile if millivolt readings fall below 325 mV. OEM pilots are available, but we’ve had better long-term results with Baso aftermarket kits spec’d through our Haven buying network.
- Woodfield 42/36 wood-burning fireplaces: refractory panel cracking at the smoke chamber throat. The 42-inch and 36-inch Woodfield units ship with 1.5-inch refractory panels that don’t tolerate rapid thermal cycling. We see radial cracks radiating from the damper frame after five to seven seasons of weekend-only burning. The fix is replacement with HeatShield refractory or, if the crack has compromised the steel wrapper, a full firebox insert with DuraFlex liner. We document the crack depth with the camera before quoting either path.
- Superior WRT3000 series: rusted chase cover pooling at the flue collar. These zero-clearance wood-burners sit in framed chases with galvanized chase covers that last eight to twelve years in Pennsylvania’s freeze-thaw cycle. Water pools at the flue collar, rusts the collar ring, and drips onto the refractory floor. We fabricate a replacement chase cover in 24-gauge stainless with a taller cricket, or source a Gelco drop-in if the framing geometry allows. The camera run shows whether water has reached the flue liner below.
- Chimney 3000-series direct-vents: failed blower motors and seized bearings. The 3000-series uses a tangential blower mounted behind the lower refractory. After six to eight years, the sleeve bearings gum up with dust and combustion residue. The motor draws high amperage, trips the snap disc, and the homeowner gets heat but no circulation. We test amp draw against the nameplate, replace the motor with an OEM Fasco or a cross-referenced Ball bearing equivalent, and verify airflow at the grille with an anemometer before we sign off.
- Woodfield see-through units: deteriorated door gaskets and air wash failure. The see-through Woodfield models rely on a continuous rope gasket and precision air wash channels to keep glass clear. Gasket compression set after three to four years lets room air leak past the door, dropping combustion temperature and sooting the glass. We measure the door gap with feeler gauges, replace gasket to OEM spec, and verify the air wash slot isn’t packed with fly ash. If the glass is etched past cleaning, we order tempered replacement through our Olympia Chimney supply line.
Our Copperfield Fireplace Services Process

- 1
Call and schedule. A live person answers, day or night. We ask the model number if you have it, the symptom, and whether the unit is gas or wood. We book a arrival window and text when the tech is en route.
- 2
NFPA 211 Level 2 inspection. Camera down the flue, readings at the appliance, photos of every condition we find. Clause 4 of the Haven Standard requires this documented record on every job; we’ve done it since 2009.
- 3
Written price and scope. Before any tool touches your fireplace, you get a written price, written scope, and written warranty. Haven Standard Clause 1: have it in writing. No exceptions.
- 4
Parts decision with trade-offs explained. OEM Copperfield parts, quality aftermarket through our Haven network, or cross-compatible units from DuraFlex, HeatShield, or Gelco. We tell you the price difference and the warranty implication of each.
- 5
Repair and live testing. The work, then the test: gas pressure readings, draft measurement, spillage check, blower amp draw, or whatever the unit requires. The tech runs it through a full cycle while you watch.
- 6
Documentation and cleanup. Photo record uploaded, written warranty in your hand, work area swept. The 365-Day Done Right Promise is stamped on every invoice.

Why Lansdale Homeowners Call Emberly Chimney Cleaners Lansdale for Copperfield Work

We’ve completed more than 38,000 chimney inspections and cleanings since 2009, every one with a written price before work started and a documented record when done. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and licensed; you get a named tech, a text when they’re on the way, and a photo archive of what they found. The camera doesn’t guess. Neither do we.
We’re not a Copperfield dealer or authorized service center - we’re an independent Copperfield service provider with buying relationships through DuraFlex, HeatShield, Gelco, Olympia Chimney, and Famco. That means honest parts recommendations without manufacturer pressure to sell new units when a repair will do. Our 365-Day Done Right Promise covers every job, and our live phone support runs 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
FAQs
No, provided the work is done by a qualified technician using correct parts and procedures. As an independent Copperfield service provider, we follow manufacturer specs for clearances, venting, and component replacement. We document every step so you have a record if a warranty question ever arises. Call (267) 327-4785 if you need documentation for a warranty claim.
Common items like pilot assemblies, blowers, and gaskets ship within two to three business days through our Haven network. Discontinued series like the early 26000 gas inserts may take five to seven days or require cross-referencing to aftermarket equivalents. We tell you the timeline in writing before you commit, and we don’t start work until parts are in hand.
Replace when the firebox wrapper is rusted through, the flue liner is compromised and can’t be relined, or repair costs exceed 60% of a new installed unit. Repair when the issue is component-level: blower, pilot, refractory panels, or door gaskets. We show you the camera footage and run the numbers both ways. No replacement is recommended without evidence you can see.
Annual inspection per NFPA 211, sweeping when creosote reaches 1/8 inch. In Lansdale, where homeowners often burn weekends-only from October through March, we typically see Class II or Class III creosote buildup every one to two years. Gas units need annual safety checks for valve integrity, venting, and combustion performance. Call (267) 327-4785 to schedule - estimates are free.
Wood-burning units accumulate creosote, which ignites at approximately 451 degrees and can reach 2,000 degrees in a chimney fire. Gas units with compromised vents or heat exchangers can spill carbon monoxide into living space. Both risks are real, both are preventable, and both are why we document conditions with the camera rather than guess. Call (267) 327-4785 for a free estimate.
