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

They were awesome. A very friendly and efficient lady set up the initial appointment for me.They called to confirm appointment the day before and then called a couple of times the day of to let us know that they were a little ahead of schedule in case we wanted them to come earlier (we did). The gentleman who arrived was friendly, fast, informative and tidy. We will definitely be calling on these folks again next year.

Great experience! Kent and his assistant showed up on time, explained their services, and inspected all 3 of our chimneys. Only one needed cleaning and we were not charged for the inspections ($100 for the cleaning). They were very thorough and left no mess in the living area where they cleaned. They also cleaned our air ducts in the living room and kitchen ($20/air vent) and gave me some good tips on how to maintain the cleanliness. I never got the sense or felt like they were pushing me into more than I needed, and he gave me lots of "free" advice too: showed me how to light my gas pilot and fireplace, fixed a damper handle that was backwards and other help. Will definitely use them again.
Description of Work: Very professional and helpful experience

The Provider called me to schedule an appointment. The initial suggested time was not going to be convenient due to a planned visit out of town.We scheduled a later date. The provider showed up at the approximate time scheduled and performed the service, after I wrote a check for the additional amount beyond that paid through Angie's List. I did not start building a fire in the stove until recently at which I time I began to observe the quality of the draw provided.
Description of Work: The service performed did not appear to be as thorough as what I have experienced previously. The interior of the wood stove was not cleaned. No snapshots of inside of chimney were provided. In my opinion the quality of the chimney's draw when I have a fire has not measured up to previous cleanings. The service was performed at the time scheduled. An additional fee of $35 was charged, because the provider called the way the stove was mounted an insert. This did not make sense to me at the time, but I did not question it.

Member the special pricing coupon that you purchased did have an additional charge when the job included a stove or insert stove. Also the ashes left in the stove were there for a reason and that reason was explained to your wife. The ashes do provide a level of insulation and aid in the starting of the fire. Im sorry there was some mix up there and we do take pictures upon request and will present them via email at no extra cost when using the special offer through A.L. I hope all is well thank you for posting and rating us on Angies List. Hope to see you all again! Kent

When first they scheduled, he had a personal issue and had to cancel the appointment. Subsequently, we just had issues matching out schedules to find a time that worked for both of us. I wanted to have it done before Christmas, and they called and left a message to let me know that they had moved out of their air duct cleaning season and into their chimney sweep season. He said he couldn’t do it until January but I never heard back from them after that.
Description of Work: I purchased a Big Deal for air duct cleaning.

I called for an appointment to install a top mount chimney damper. The operator was professional and knowledgeable. She set up an appointment for ten days from the day I called. On the appointed day two people arrived right at the scheduled time. They inspected the chimney, inside and out, and quickly installed the cap using parts they carried in their truck. They also noted a previous repair that had been made incorrectly and told me it was holding for now but I may want to have it repaired properly in the spring. The entire service call took less than an hour. I had previously contracted with another installer who made three trips to measure and then return with the wrong parts before I cancelled the order.
Description of Work: They inspected the chimney and installed a top mount damper. They also provided a quote for future chimney repairs.

A company representative called immediately after we requested the service through Angies List, and we set an appointment. The technician arrived on-schedule, and carefully explained the services he would provide. The inspection was thorough and well-documented. The cleaning was fast and effecicient. The technician refitted a chimney cap that had come loose in a recent wind storm at no additional charge. The service was excellent. I would recommend this company to everyone in their service area.
Description of Work: Inspected flue and chimney. Cleaned flue and chimney Replaced loose chminey cap.

They were very friendly when we called and scheduled us for the next week. They were 15 minutes early and called to make certain that was o before they came. He was very professional and explained everything he was doing. There was absolutely no mess at all and took very little time. We will always call them when it is time for the next cleaning.

From the beginning, my experience with Seymour Chimney Cleaners was superb. Amy on the phone was very polite, friendly, and professional. Kent showed up promptly at the appointed time and courteously and professionally inspected and cleaned the chimney without leaving any mess at all. The only visible sign he had been here was the clean chimney. I highly recommend this firm to anyone in the area.

Two people arrived at our home including the owner who is also a firefighter with one of the local fire departments. They carefully laid out a cloth in front of the fireplace to protect our carpet. They inspected the chimney and cleaned it. They also cleaned the glass front of the fireplace. The workers also discovered the trap door to the ash pit leading to the outside wall of the fireplace which we were previously unable to locate. (We moved into the home last year.) They picked up after themselves and left no mess. They were courteous and knowledgeable and we would definitely call on them again.
Description of Work: We took advantage of the $89 coupon to inspect and clean the chimney. As promised they inspected the chimney and found no problems needing attention. They swept the chimney and cleaned the glass door to the fireplace.

Company called to schedule the appointment. I was given a time but asked if it would be okay to call should the workers be running a little early and move up the time. Two men, one the owner, came early. The chimney was cleaned from the bottom up using a large vacuum and other tools as was the dryer vent. They were pleasant to speak with and went about their work. Odd things/complaints - neither wore shoe coverings over their boots; the second worker asked if I had a place to dump the fireplace ashes removed from the fireplace; and (I didn't notice this until after they left) debris from cleaning out the dryer vent was left in the yard and garden. I will not need a chimney cleaning for awhile. I am not opposed to using them again but really it depends on the cost and ratings next time I need the service.

Great! No worries! In this economy, a wood stove for heat can save money. The loss that could be experienced if you take the risk is not worth getting your chimney checked!
Description of Work: Small price to pay for the safety of your family and home. They were able to work with an appointment time for my needs. A "chimney inspection" letter was issued to provide my insurance company if needed. Fire fighters doing the inspection and cleaning...who else more qualified. Prevention is always the best medicine to what everyone wants to avoid in this scenario. Thank-you so much for piece of mind, and I now get to use my wood stove without worry!

Kent was very courteous and professional. He cleaned the chimney and the fireplace without disturbing anything else. He arrived on time, was quick but thorough in his work, and left without leaving a mess. Because we live outside his normal service area, he charged an additional $10 for gas.
