We’re a local, family-owned business—not a franchise—so you get personalized service without the corporate runaround. Our technicians are CSIA-certified, insured, and background-checked, giving you peace of mind that your chimney’s in capable hands. Unlike national chains that outsource inspections, we use our own equipment and document every step with photos and videos. Knoxville’s weather demands local expertise, and we deliver it.
Waiting until after the first freeze to address creosote buildup or cracks forces homeowners into emergency service fees—often 50% higher than scheduled maintenance. Knoxville’s humidity accelerates deterioration, so a $300 inspection now can prevent a $3,000 rebuild later. Plus, insurance companies may deny claims if they find your chimney wasn’t properly maintained. Don’t gamble with your home’s safety or your wallet.
Older homes in neighborhoods like North Knoxville or Bearden have chimneys built for wood stoves, not modern gas inserts, leading to incompatible flue sizes or cracked liners. Knoxville’s clay soil also shifts under foundations, causing chimneys to lean—a hazard we spot during inspections. We adapt our methods to these local quirks, whether it’s relining a flue or reinforcing a masonry structure. Generic sweepers won’t catch these issues.
Our warranty isn’t just a piece of paper—it’s a promise that if something goes wrong with our work within a decade, we’ll fix it at no cost. This includes repairs to masonry, flue liners, or chimney caps we installed. Knoxville’s weather can test even the best repairs, so we back ours with ironclad guarantees. Compare that to national chains that vanish after the job’s done.
Knoxville’s crisp autumn mornings and sudden winter storms demand a chimney that’s ready before the first cold snap hits. At Coleman & Navarro Chimney Corp, we don’t just clean chimneys—we prepare them for Knoxville’s unpredictable weather, ensuring your fireplace stays safe and efficient when you need it most. Our seasonal-prep approach means we inspect for hidden hazards like creosote buildup or structural cracks before they become costly problems, giving you peace of mind as the temperatures drop. Whether you’re lighting your first fire of the season or storing wood for winter, we make sure your chimney is primed for Knoxville’s unique climate demands.

Before we start, we’ll inspect your chimney’s exterior and provide a written estimate with no hidden fees.

Knoxville homeowners often save hundreds by acting early, when demand (and prices) are lower.
Our CSIA-certified technicians arrive with HEPA vacuums, rotary brushes, and high-definition cameras to clean and inspect your chimney from top to bottom.

Proudly serving Knoxville and these nearby communities.
Because Knoxville’s fall rush starts early—by late October, our schedule fills fast and prices rise. A late-summer sweep removes creosote buildup before humidity and cooler nights accelerate residue hardening, reducing fire risks and ensuring your chimney is ready for Knoxville’s unpredictable winter weather.
A Level 1 inspection in Knoxville costs $120–$150, while a full sweep with cleaning runs $180–$250. The inspection is a quick visual check for obvious issues, but a full sweep removes creosote and debris, which is critical for Knoxville homes that burn wood regularly.
Absolutely. Knoxville’s climate—with its humidity and temperature swings—speeds up chimney deterioration. A proactive sweep identifies cracks, corrosion, or flue damage early, saving you from emergency repairs when you need your fireplace most.
A Level 1 inspection is a visual check of accessible areas, required annually for Knoxville homes with standard use. A Level 2 includes a camera scan of the flue and is mandatory after major events like a chimney fire or when buying/selling a home in Knoxville.
Yes. Knoxville’s high humidity absorbs smoke particles, turning them into a sticky, tar-like creosote that clings to flue walls. This residue hardens faster here than in drier climates, increasing fire risks and reducing chimney efficiency.
For most Knoxville homes, a full sweep takes 60–90 minutes. We start with a Level 1 inspection, then use rotary brushes and high-powered vacuums to remove debris, leaving your chimney safe and ready for winter.
Yes, but use it sparingly. Pine burns hotter and faster, creating more creosote—even after a sweep. Knoxville’s humidity means this residue sticks faster, so opt for hardwoods like oak or maple for cleaner burns and less maintenance.
Waiting until after the first frost to schedule a sweep. By then, Knoxville’s fireplace season is in full swing, leading to higher prices and longer wait times. Get ahead of the rush to ensure your chimney is safe and ready for winter.
