To further protect you and your family, we offer a Dryer Duct Cleaning Service completed by a CSIA-Certified Dryer Exhaust Technicians (C-DET).

There are times your chimney system will let you know something is wrong and other times it won't give you a clue that anything is amiss. When there are symptoms such as smoke, back filling into a room, the fire is hard to start or you see water dripping into the firebox, you know your appliance needs some attention. However, just like with human health, if you had someone looking after the health of the fireplace or wood stove on an annual basis, there is a good chance the problems would have been found before the symptom showed up.

Moisture is one of your fireplace's worst enemies here in Tennessee. Anyone that saysotherwise is just not telling you the truth.

Though the flood of 2010 was unusual, we all know that Nashville, TN gets a lot of rainthroughout the year and those cold rainy winters are tough on your chimney. That's because most chimneys are constructed with brick, which is a porous material held togetherby mortar, which is a water soluble material.

Two of the biggest dangers to the health of your family and property are fires and CO poisoning. Your fireplace and dryer are two of the most common places where CO is emitted or has the right conditions to ignite a fire.

Chimney Sweeps are highly trained individuals who know how to come into your home, clean and inspect your fireplace and chimney and leave everything as clean as or better when they leave.
