Ashbusters Chimney Service was founded in the Nashville area in 1985. Founder, Mark Stoner, set out to do things differently, by requiring a higher level of professionalism and training from each and every one of his employees and setting a new standard for customer service. Timothy Kneller, a chimney professional who shares that same passion for professionalism and customer service, joined Ashbusters and extended that award-winning service to the East TN area with the birth of Ashbusters Knoxville.

Timothy Kneller grew up in the chimney industry, working alongside his father and grandfather in their Jackson, TN area family business. Timothy's love for the chimney business and the Smoky Mountains led him to join Ashbusters Knoxville. After all, live in East Tennessee and do what you love? His promise to you: He'll treat your home like his own and provide you with the highest level of service. Jonah Lindley is a Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA) Certified Chimney Sweep and Highly Skilled Repair Technician who exemplifies the Standard of Care along with Unmatched Service which all of our customers receive.

A: The general rule of thumb is that you should have your chimney cleaned when soot deposits reach a thickness of a quarter of an inch, or when you spot glazed creosote anywhere in your chimney or fireplace. This isn't just our rule of thumb, it's the Chimney Safety Institute of America's (CSIA) and the National Fire Protection Association's (NFPA) rule of thumb! Both also recommend that you schedule an annual inspection with a certified professional, so you'll know about any buildup or blockages, as well as any repairs that may be needed before you use your fireplace again.

The chimney industry's not regulated, which means just about anyone can grab a brush and rod and call himself a chimney sweep. Which explains why it's easy to find a chimney sweep, but not always so easy to find a full-service chimney company that's licensed, insured, and certified by the Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA). That said, if you live in the Knoxville area, you don't have to continue your search - you're in the right place. Ashbusters Chimney Service of Knoxville is a licensed, insured, full-service chimney company that offers a host of chimney and dryer services.
