Don put it off. Late summer is a great time to get your chimney cleaned. It won't be long until there will be a chill in the air and you will want to light that fireplace or wood stove. Let us get it cleaned and inspected so it is ready for use when you are ready. As we get into the fall, we get very busy and we may not be able to get you on the schedule as quickly as you would like. We are taking appointment right now for annual maintenance. At the same time we will inspect the chimney and fireplace to make sure you don't have any necessary repairs that need to be done.
Now is a great time to get your chimney cleaned and inspected. Gaps in the mortar joints and cracks in the tile can open up without you having any way of knowing it.

Why not get your chimney taken care of and ready to go for the fall. We have appointments available right now so give us a call and we will schedule your appointment.
Chimney Sweeps is a full service chimney cleaning, service and repair company based in Kingsport and serving the entire Tri-Cities area. The company is licensed and insured in Tennessee. America certified. Your Chimney Cleaning will include a complete video inspection. The video will allow you to see exactly what is wrong or right with your chimney so you can make an informed decision regarding needed repairs. We also do dryer vent cleaning. The dryer vent is often overlooked as a source of house fires.
Moisture is one of your Fireplace's worst enemies. With the amount of rainfall we get in Northeast Tennessee, the brick seldom gets completely dry before it is hit by another rainstorm. The constant assault by water can cause your chimney to deteriorate right before your eyes. Brick is a porous material held together by mortar, both of which are highly susceptible to water caused deterioration. In addition, the warm moist air flowing from inside the home and up the flue, attacks the brick from the inside out.
Why should you get you flue cleaned every year? Good question. Some people go for several years without cleaning their flue. Some get by with it but most don't. I personally saw 5 homes in the Tri CIties area that burned completely down as a result of a chimney fire. Who knows how many more received partial damage. The cost of getting your chimney cleaned by a professional is nothing compared to the cost of losing your home and all your possessions. Even worse than losing your possessions, you risk losing your life or the life of a family member.
