When you research professional chimney repair near me in Knoxville now, only a few reliable, honest chimney sweep companies will serve your needs best. We always welcome second opinions on work that will cost hundreds of dollars to fix. Here are a few checklist items to consider when looking for a chimney contractor.
First, is the company easy to get a hold of if needed. So many of our customers tell us they called 4 or 5 other companies near me and either no one answered (or were able to leave a message) or they wouldn’t follow up.
Second, check their references (or testimonials) to see if they show up on time or even show up at all. So many companies near me are under staffed and only the largest, most profitable work gets priority.

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.
