We're a local-based full-service chimney company and niche construction company that specializes in all things chimney. Our technicians are Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA)-certified and we've been taking care of the chimneys, fireplaces, and dryer vents of our neighbors in Tennessee for more than 30 years.
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).
A large percentage of the chimney fires that occur each year here in the United States are preventable. Safety statement: "The chimney and stovepipe are checked frequently during the heating season for creosote buildup and are cleaned when necessary." Chimneys, fireplaces, and vents shall be inspected at least once a year for soundness, freedom from deposits, and correct clearances.
Thousands of chimney fires still occur every year here in the U.S., but organizations like the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and the Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA) are making efforts to reduce those numbers. We're doing our part, too, by providing our neighbors in Knoxville, TN and the surrounding areas with thorough, reliable level 1, 2, and 3 chimney inspections.
First things first, who should you call? There are no federal regulations for the chimney industry, and many homeowners have been ripped off, cheated, scammed, or left with workmanship that's not up to code and certainly not safe. The Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA) is a non-profit organization that's committed to educating and protecting homeowners for this very reason.

Timothy was very professional, he explained a lot of things I did not know about my gas fireplace. He also checked my chimney and told me the flashing on the roof was not good and I could get water or animals if not fixed. I would recommend this company.

These gentlemen were on time and worked quickly to do the annual maintenance on our fireplace. We have a gas fireplace that is an older model from the late 1990s. It is clean, looks beautiful, and works great. They laid down matting while working on the fireplace and wore shoe booties to make sure that they kept my place free from debris.
They also cleaned out our dryer vent which hadn't been cleaned for years with the home's previous owner. It was about 25% clogged and they cleaned it thoroughly.
They answered all my questions and were helpful about our future prospects for updating our fireplace

I scheduled a chimney inspection with Ashbusters knowing that at a minimum I would need replacement of chimney flashing. Excellent customer reviews prompted me to choose this company. I now add my 5 star across the board rating for this service provider.
The chimney inspections were completed by Chris and Casey, two very knowledgeable, highly skilled, and efficient technicians who called when they were in transit, arrived promptly, and performed the inspection in a timely manner. To access the chimney flue, they had to pull out a very heavy fireplace stove insert that had not been moved in decades
