A clean chimney isn’t just about warmth—it’s about safety when Knoxville’s first cold snap drops temperatures below 40°F overnight. Our Level 2 inspections use cameras to spot cracks, blockages, or deterioration in the flue lining that could let heat escape or embers enter your attic. We remove every gram of soot and creosote, even in hard-to-reach bends near the roofline above Bearden. You’ll notice better draft immediately, and your fireplace will burn cleaner from the first log of the season. No hidden fees—just a job done right the first time.
Request this service →Knoxville’s spring storms dump inches of rain in hours, and unprotected chimneys act like funnels, funneling water straight into your masonry. A custom stainless-steel cap with mesh screening keeps out debris, birds, and squirrels while allowing smoke to escape freely. We install caps that match your chimney’s profile and resist rust even after decades of Tennessee humidity. Expect a 30-minute install and a lifetime of protection from costly water damage repairs.
Request this service →Freeze-thaw cycles along I-40’s elevation shifts can turn hairline cracks in your chimney’s brickwork into gaping holes by February. We repoint damaged joints with mortar matched to your original bricks, sealing gaps that let cold air seep into your living room. Our process includes tuck-pointing for a seamless finish that blends with historic Knoxville homes and modern builds alike. Repairs are completed in one visit with no disruption to your daily routine.
Request this service →Old, unlined flues can’t handle the heat from dense oak or hickory logs common in East Tennessee fireplaces. We install rigid stainless-steel liners that improve draft, reduce creosote accumulation, and meet current safety codes. The process takes less than a day, and you’ll see better heat output and lower heating bills this winter. Knoxville homeowners choosing liners often recoup costs within two seasons through energy savings.
Request this service →A cracked chimney crown lets rainwater seep into the brickwork, freezing and expanding until bricks split apart. We rebuild or repair crowns with a waterproof, UV-resistant concrete mix that withstands Knoxville’s intense summer sun and sudden winter freezes. The repair costs a fraction of a full rebuild and adds decades to your chimney’s lifespan. Most crown jobs are finished before lunch on the same day we arrive.
Request this service →Pellet stoves in homes near Sequoyah Hills burn hotter than traditional wood fires, leaving behind fine ash that clogs vents and reduces efficiency. Our specialized tools clear every inch of venting, from the stove pipe to the roof flashing, ensuring safe operation all winter. We test for carbon monoxide leaks and check pressure levels to confirm your system meets manufacturer specs. Knoxville’s pellet stove owners trust us to keep their systems running cleanly and quietly.
