Professional Chimney Sweep & Safety Services in Hohenwald, TN

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends having all chimneys, fireplaces, and heating vents inspected annually, and swept whenever soot or creosote buildup reaches 1/8 inch thickness or more. Regular inspections ensure blockages, cracks, or animal nests are caught before they create safety hazards.

Creosote is a flammable, acidic byproduct formed when wood smoke condenses on the cooler interior walls of the chimney flue. Over time, it hardens into Stage 2 or Stage 3 glazed creosote. If ignited by high fireplace temperatures or sparks, creosote burns at over 2,000°F, which can destroy flue liners and ignite surrounding house framing.

No. We take complete precautions to protect your home. We use heavy industrial drop cloths over your flooring and furniture near the hearth, seal the firebox opening, and use industrial HEPA-filtered negative-pressure vacuums that capture airborne particulate matter immediately as the flue is brushed.

Yes! Pipit Midtown Chimney Sweeps Jammy Group operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Whether you experience sudden smoke backing into your home, suspect an animal stuck in the flue, or face a heating emergency during freezing temperatures, you can call us anytime at 18953329312.

Common warning signs include: smoke spilling into your room instead of drafting up the flue, a strong pungent barbecue or campfire odor when the fireplace is not in use, black oily flakes falling into the firebox, sluggish burning fires, or a loud roaring sound inside the flue.

A Level 1 inspection is a visual check of all readily accessible portions of the chimney, damper, and firebox during routine yearly service. A Level 2 inspection includes full internal flue camera imaging and is required when buying/selling a property, changing fuel or appliances, or after an earthquake, weather event, or chimney fire.

Yes. We service freestanding wood burning stoves, pellet stove inserts, masonry fireplaces, factory-built metal chimneys, and residential dryer exhaust vents. Dryer vent cleaning is an essential service that eliminates flammable lint clogs and optimizes dryer performance.

A stainless steel chimney cap prevents rainwater from entering the chimney (which deteriorates mortar and corrodes dampers), keeps birds, squirrels, and raccoons from nesting in the flue, and features a spark arrestor mesh screen that stops hot embers from landing on your roof or yard.

Please allow the fireplace or stove to sit completely cold for at least 24 hours prior to our arrival. Clear away fragile decorative items and keep a 5-foot clearance in front of the hearth so our crew can set up protective floor mats and equipment comfortably.
