Creosote is a tar-like byproduct of wood burning that coats chimney flues and poses a severe fire hazard in Hermitage’s older brick chimneys. Our high-powered vacuums and rotary brushes eliminate even the thickest layers, reducing fire risk by up to 90%. We also check for cracks, gaps, or deteriorating mortar that could allow carbon monoxide—a colorless, odorless killer—to seep into your living space. Unlike fly-by-night operators, we document every inspection with photos and provide a written report so you know exactly what we fixed and why. Serving homes near Opry Mills and along Lebanon Road, we ensure your chimney meets Tennessee’s strict fire safety codes.

We use professional-grade CO detectors to test ambient air and flue gases, identifying leaks caused by cracked flues, blocked vents, or improper drafting. In Hermitage’s tightly sealed newer builds, poor ventilation exacerbates CO risks—especially during winter when fireplaces see heavy use. Our testing includes a full system check: flue integrity, damper function, and combustion air supply. We’ll show you the exact CO levels and recommend fixes, whether it’s a simple repair or a full chimney relining.

Our Level 2 inspections use specialized cameras to scope every flue, joint, and smoke chamber for cracks, obstructions, or nesting animals—common in Hermitage’s wooded neighborhoods like Donelson Hills. Level 3 inspections are reserved for suspected structural failures, where we remove chimney crowns or chaseways to assess internal damage. We document findings with timestamped videos and provide a Tennessee-specific compliance report, ensuring your chimney passes resale inspections or insurance underwriting.
Request this service →Hermitage’s freeze-thaw cycles wreak havoc on aging chimney crowns, the concrete or masonry caps that protect flues from rain and debris. A cracked crown lets water seep into the brickwork, causing spalling, efflorescence, and eventual collapse—often undetected until it’s too late. We rebuild crowns with reinforced mortar or install custom stainless steel caps that shed water and resist cracking. For chaseways (the wood-framed enclosures around masonry chimneys), we replace rotted sections and install metal lath to deter pests. Serving homes near Two Rivers and along Old Hickory Boulevard, we ensure your chimney stays dry and structurally sound year-round.
Request this service →Many Hermitage fireplaces built before 2000 have clay tile liners that are cracked, corroded, or improperly sized, creating pathways for heat transfer and carbon monoxide. Stainless steel liners, like our HeatFab or Selkirk systems, are corrosion-resistant and improve draft efficiency—critical for Hermitage’s humid climate. Cast-in-place liners (a cement-like coating) are ideal for irregularly shaped flues. We size liners precisely to your fireplace’s BTU output, ensuring optimal performance and code compliance. All work includes a 10-year warranty and a post-installation performance test.
