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.
Our customers say that we still provide the best chimney sweep cost and service in the area. We strive to keep the cost down for our work by being as productive as possible. Our customer app, email system and phone system are state of the art. This enables us to serve you with the lowest price possible.

Fireplace glass cleaner is required to remove the baked on soot and smoke on the glass of fireplace and wood burning stoves. The secrets to success are here. Ignore these 2 secret steps and your glass will streak and not get completely cleaned.
First, the right cleaner is a must. Not all glass cleaning products will remove the soot and smoke stains on fireplace glass. For instance, the same goes for wood burning glass, too.
After many brands tested, we settled on Rutland Conditioning Glass Cleaner as our solution.
Secondly, the KEY to a spotless cleaning job is using LINT FREE rags. Combine these with the Rutland cleaner above and you are set to see the fire flames again.
Our Big Ass 30 Point Inspection and Sweep Special includes the glass cleaning on your wood burning stove or fireplace glass. We had customers not realize the black glass on their stoves were not normal.
We use the same fireplace cleaner shown above. Also, this is a dirty job. Of course, drop clothes and a HEPA filtered vacuum capture the dirt and soot generated from the cleaning.
What are the results using the fireplace glass cleaner?

When your chimney leaks in heavy rain it is often the result of cracked and separated bricks and mortar. Water freezes the cracks in winter. When the temperatures warm up, the ice thaws and leaves a gap in the mortar and around the flue pipe.
We all love spring time. Flowers, bird chirping and warmer weather means mother nature is waking up. In parts of the country, it signifies the “great thaw”. Frozen rivers will expand and flood low areas. Your driveway and steps may show expansion areas from the freeze and thaw.
Chimneys are the same way. Many chimney tops are not slanted properly and water sits on top and seeps into the cracks. When the temperatures freeze, the water does too. As it expands, the brick joints will push apart. This is where the trouble starts.
Notice in this "before" picture the cracks in the top portion of the chimney. It leaks in heavy rain! Request Service By Clicking On The Picture.
How do we stop chimney leaks in heavy rains?
The process of stopping chimney leaks in heavy rains is pretty straight forward. First, we clean and scrap any old mortar and chipping off the top and sides of the chimney. Most of the time, we have to add mortar back into a few areas.
Secondly, after the holes are patched and sealed, we coat the area with a sealant designed for chimneys. It will last from 10 to 15 years with periodic inspections.
The top picture is the “after” picture all sealed up and ready for another decade. Sometimes, the flues coming up from the firebox are installed without being level or plumb. We can not really change that but the repairs will minimize the look if needed.
