Chimney sweep cost in Knoxville TN is under priced as gas is high right now. One of the main expenses in serving clients is fuel cost. Traveling to you cost. We routinely spend over $100 to fill a tank. Since we pull our heavy van to you, the expense of fuel increases monthly.
Therefore, the cost must factor in the higher fuel expenses. We don’t like to pass this on to customers so we average the cost out among everyone we serve.
Ouch...filling up the tanks with fuel
We pay more for every tool and component at the supply house. The cost of transportation affects every part of the economy. Chimney caps, fireplace inserts and gas logs are going up in price every month.

Putting off a chimney cleaning could have a very bad outcome. Just over the past two weeks alone, we have seen 2 chimney fires because of deferred chimney cleaning. Unfortunately, one home was a complete loss. Nothing was left except one-half of the chimney and the concrete pad.
Some fires are not completely started by the chimney. Sparks popping out onto carpet or items around the fireplace catch fire quickly. We strongly suggest the fireplace has a tight screen. Also, keep flammable items away from the opening.
Pull out your calendar and call us to schedule an inspection. Procrastination is not your friend when it comes to chimney cleaning. Your family deserves a clean and safe fire place. Also, the off season is easier to book a chimney sweep job. Plus, there are coupons that will help with the cost of the inspection.
Many homeowners see water in their fireplace after a huge rain storm. The winter freezes, expands bricks and causes openings for rain entering the chimney. The milder weather melts the ice locked in the masonry. The mortar has expanded and left a void for rain water to enter.
The brick and mortar is cleaned before sealing the chimney
Firstly, the chimney cap and the bricks with mortar are cleaned and scrapped for loose particles and debris. Any holes and openings found are patched with sealant designed for this exact purpose. Secondly, the entire structure is water sealed to prevent further decay after the holes and cracks are sealed.
The chimney will last for at least 10 years once sealed. However, the leaking started years ago and when left under served created the water in the fireplace.
Many happy customers tell us their problems were solved after we sealed and secured their chimney. Water in the fireplace will destroy gas log burners, dampers and interior flooring quickly.
Also, is the chimney cap leaking?
Some builders cut corners on the quality of chimney caps. For instance, the good ones are made from stainless steel and coated to prevent rust and leaks. Over time, the chimney cap not sealed can leak. Caps are blown off in a high wind because they were not secured properly. This will lead to instant leaks from a heavy rain storm.
