Firehouse Chimney & Duct Clean aka Seymour Chimney

Chimney Sweep, Fireplaces, Dryer Vent Cleaning,

About us

Firehouse Chimney aka Seymour Chimney Cleaning was started in 1983 by my father and brother, Al and Mark Leitch, Dad saw a need for a local sweep due to the high number of chimney fires in the community. Al is a 30 year veteran with the local fire department. Now I (Kent, Al's youngest son) have managed and operated the company since 2000. I work full time at the City of Knoxville Fire Dept and attend church at Calvary Chapel Church. Our first priority is safety, 2nd is affordability. We treat people like we would want our grandparents treated, with kindness and respect. The customer is right. We always appreciate any feedback, whether good or bad, it helps us improve and grow. We are a debt free company that is family owned and operated with help from selected firefighters and paramedics. We offer free inspections in the Seymour / south Knox area. Typical prices for chimney sweeping range from $110-$120. Dryer vent cleaning ranges from $75-$100 (half off if chimney cleaning is already booked). Check out our website @ seymourchimney.com

Description of Work: He cleaned the dryer vent which had not been cleaned in 15 years. It was very clogged and blocked by a bird's nest. He was very patient and thorough and worked hard to clear the blockage. He had to come back in several days to put on a new flap cover that was bent. He was very helpful.

Description of Work: Kent cleaned my fireplace thoroughly which had the added benefit |of it starting again. He and his assistant were extremely professional |as well as being very personable and nice. They checked all of my |smoke alarms (they are also firefighters with the Knoxville Fire Department) and wired three new replacements. I would |definitely use them again in the future and highly recommend them.

Description of Work: The actual service was performed at my son's home (Matt Price) in Knoxville, TN. I gave him the information and he contacted Kent himself. They inspected both chimneys, cleaned one and installed fireplace insert. Per my son, he is very glad to be able to recommend them to others.

Description of Work: I called the service provider and they showed up on time as promised. However, when they inspected our duct work, they said it was too narrow for their equipment to clean. They did recommend another type of cleaner but did not know of any in the area. I appreciate their honesty.

It went well!
Description of Work: We recently had a leak during some heavy rain. Kent and Johnathan came out the next week and sprayed the cap with flex seal. Kent said that we'll eventually need to replace the chimney cap but the flex seal will work for now. They took pictures before and after the work so I could see what they did. Kent also looked at my fireplace and told me that the chimney is clean. He showed me how to care for the fireplace screens and sprayed them. He was clearly knowledgable and was professional. I will call on him again when needed.
