Ashbusters Chimney Service

Chimney Sweep, Chimney Repair, Chimney Caps,

About us

Ashbusters Chimney Service of Charleston, SC is a local chimney services company operated by local chimney professionals that have been trained and certified on the principle of fire prevention. It doesn’t take long to come upon the devastation of fire up close and personal and we are determined to do whatever it takes to keep this from happening to our friends, our families and our communities. We understand that all fires are not preventable but we also know that when you do the necessary maintenance, you can rest assured that you have done everything in your power to prevent a fire in your home. The very act of taking action can and will prevent most fireplace and chimney mishaps. Clearance to combustibles is the most common reason home fires occur. It doesn’t matter if it’s in a chimney or a dryer; flammable materials near a heat source combined with oxygen are the perfect mix for disaster. Most homes today will have an electric or gas dryer plus a fireplace or wood stove of some kind. Just picture an open flame in the middle of your house and you might realize how important keeping it in check will be. Since 1985, Ashbusters Chimney Service has serviced over 35,000 chimneys

Description of Work: Ashbusters cleaned my chimney and inspected fire place. They found a crack in the back wall of the prefab fireplace. They came back one week later and replaced the back wall. Very professional, prompt, and great service provider. I will definitely use in the future.

Description of Work: Chris came out and did a cleaning and inspection on the fireplace and chimney of the house I just bought. Explained to me before using the chimney camera what he would inspect and look for. Described the good and bad that we might see. | |Sidenote: Chris mentioned something that I didn't think of when purchasing the home, should have had a chimney sweep come out and perform an inspection just like you have a home inspector inspect the rest of the home. | |My inspection revealed lots of missing grout and cracks in the chimney sleeve. Currently my fireplace is not safe for wood logs fire use. Chris did give me a couple of options. I could repair the sleeve, which Ashbusters can perform, or I can switch to propane logs with two different types of systems available with many different designs and configurations. | |We are going to go with the propane gas ventless system so when we use the fireplace, all of the heat will help warm the home. Ashbusters (Chris) will come back to perform the service. | |Thanks to Ashbusters (Chris) for a great job and I look forward to the work you are going to perform. Thanks to Angie's List for the great deal, I probably would have put this service off longer if not for the great price.

Description of Work: On a previous inspection of our fireplace, Ashbuster rep Chris found that the back piece of the firebox was cracked, top to bottom, presenting a severe safety hazard. He gave me a quote that day for repair and told me what would be involved, how long the process would take, etc. I called and made an appointment for a later time for the installation. Chris called me on the day scheduled & suggested re-scheduling because it was raining. He needed to cut the new piece to fit while at our house, and usually did this outside. The rain meant it would have to be accomplished inside, and even in the garage, he didn't want to make a mess. I rescheduled for about a week later, and Chris showed up promptly and got right to work, putting a tarp down to protect floors/rugs, and was finished in less than an hour. I would heartily recommend Ashbusters again to anyone. Great experience!
