Locally owned family businesses rely on reviews and testimonials for the life blood of their business. We are so thankful for our customers! Just today, another 5 star review came in from the Clear Chimney Yelp page.
Every great review and testimonial tells us we are making a difference in the lives of others. Isn’t that what we are put on the earth to do? So often, the heating fireplaces or wood stoves are the only source of heat for people. When the nightly temperatures get below freezing, we make sure our customers are safe and warm.
We don’t want to brag. That is truly not us. We understand the best way to grow and stay in business is through friends and family of happy customers. It is very expensive (and not as productive) to spend loads of money advertising. Usually, the only people that benefit from this marketing are the advertisers.
Just a simple "Like" or post on "Google reviews" goes a long way!
Many potential customers tell us that they like to research a company before calling anyone for service. What do they research? A clean and easy website with good information is first. Second, they want to know what others think about the company. We call this the Amazon effect. They started the wide spread use of reviews and testimonials for products.
Our customers love to tell others about their experiences, good and not so good. Clear Chimney’s testimonial page has many different types of reviews from many different sources. We don’t cherry pick a particular review for a certain service.
We offer chimney sweeping, chimney cleaning, fireplace inserts, chimney caps, gas logs installed and serviced, and much, much more. Therefore, our reviews should indicate the happiness of our customers.

Installing black pipe for gas logs is a precision operation. It is also dangerous if not trained in the proper threading and sealing operation needed to maintain a safe operation. This article will cover the reasons why black pipe is critical to successful gas log installations.
Black pipe is the workhorse for heating systems
The installation of this material is so critical, many organizations like the Tennessee Gas Association establish codes and regulations. The pressure delivered in this pipe is large. The gas is flammable. Small leaks can spell big troubles. You do not want to trust just any handy man to install this pipe.
It is expensive, too. The pipe alone is easily over $500 for a typical installation with a meter that is close by. The true cost is in the installation. The pipe goes together in a reverse thread operation. If any changes are needed, most of the pipe has to be unscrewed and redone for the upgrade. Also, unless the length of pipe is exactly in 10 foot sections and nipples or 90 degrees are used, most pipe must be cut to scale. Black pipe for gas logs require special pipe cutters and expertise by the chimney company.
Run away from this type of proposal for gas work...
If a company or individual is willing to install gas lines with flexible connections all over the site or can not provide references with pictures of the work, stop and find another contractor. If it were easy and safe, gas line would be installed using a garden hose. Remember, this is your house and family’s safety here. Only allow qualified companies like Clear Chimney to install, maintain and service your natural gas or propane gas lines. Finally, when your gas fireplace is not working, call us for service.
Cameras used in chimney inspections are often cited as the reason the price for a chimney sweep is so high. Here is the truth about cameras. The technology is absolutely amazing. Marry up the old plumber camera with the new wi-fi cloud storage systems and this is a vital addition to your chimney’s analysis.
Now, home buyers demand a complete chimney cleaning to sell a home. The next level in peace of mind is a camera view into the chimney system. Better yet, the pictures and video are saved to a file for email or cloud storage. Tip – ask your insurance company if this inspection lowers the rate for homeowner insurance.
Here are the advantages to using a chimney camera as part of a platinum chimney cleaning service. First, you will avoid the fly-by-night folks that offer a chimney sweep scam. These companies will not invest the money for a high quality camera to use in the inspection. These cameras are several thousands of dollars in cost. So, yes, there are folks that are using the camera to boost the prices of their sweep. The fact is an honest, reliable chimney sweep company will simply use a camera as another tool to a better service to their customers.
The second advantage is the tight spaces these cameras can see. They will identify small gaps in the bricks and transitions. Therefore, this allows for a fix before the problem gets out of control.
What do fire professionals think about chimney inspections?
Recently, we discussed the chimney inspections with a member of the Roane County TN fire department in our home area. He pointed out that several houses just recently burned down due to a build up in creosote. These homeowners had no idea that the chimneys were in critical need of an inspection.
Finally, many homes can be saved if we can get the word out about the Platinum Chimney Sweep Service using a camera for inspection. Call us today and ask about the sweep service with our camera. Peace of mind is simply a phone or text message away.
