Services
Chimney Inspections
We perform comprehensive chimney inspections to identify hazards and ensure compliance with safety standards. Our Level 1, 2, and 3 inspections use specialized tools to assess system integrity. Regular inspections prevent fire risks and costly repairs while maintaining optimal chimney function.
Dryer Vent Cleaning
Our dryer vent cleaning service removes combustible lint buildup that poses fire hazards. We inspect and clean entire vent lines, replacing non-compliant materials with code-approved metal ducts. This improves dryer efficiency, reduces energy costs, and extends appliance lifespan while ensuring household safety.
Chimney Repairs
We address common chimney issues including water damage, cracked mortar, and animal intrusion. Our repairs include crown restoration, damper replacements, and chase cover installations. Using durable materials and proven techniques, we restore chimney functionality and prevent future structural damage to protect homeowners' investments.
Damper Installation
Our lifetime warranty damper systems combine chimney caps with airtight seals to improve energy efficiency. These top-mounted dampers prevent heat loss, reduce energy bills, and block animal entry. Professional installation ensures proper operation and long-term protection against weather damage and unwanted odors.
Chase Covers
We install metal chase covers for factory-built fireplaces, replacing deteriorated components every 12-15 years. These covers protect against water intrusion that causes mold, wood rot, and structural damage. Our solutions maintain system integrity while preventing costly repairs from moisture-related issues in prefabricated chimney systems.

Questions
What types of chimney inspections do you offer?
We offer Level 1 (basic visual inspection), Level 2 (expanded access inspection), and Level 3 (concealed hazard investigation) chimney inspections with specialized tools and techniques.
How often should chimneys be cleaned?
The National Fire Protection Association recommends annual inspections. Cleaning frequency depends on usage, with 1/8" soot buildup in masonry fireplaces requiring immediate attention to prevent chimney fires.
Do gas fireplace chimneys need inspection?
Yes. Gas chimneys can become blocked by debris or bird nests, and modern furnaces may cause venting issues that require professional assessment to ensure safe operation.
What are warning signs of dryer vent problems?
Extended drying times, excessive heat in clothes, condensation inside the dryer, and restricted outdoor vent flapper movement indicate potential dryer vent blockages needing professional cleaning.
What materials should be used for dryer vents?
We recommend rigid UL-listed metal ducts or corrugated semi-rigid metal vents meeting UL 2158A standards. Plastic or vinyl materials pose fire hazards and should be replaced immediately.
What areas do you service?
We serve Nashville, Franklin, Brentwood, Mount Juliet, Murfreesboro, and surrounding Middle Tennessee communities with additional trip charges for locations outside our primary service areas.
