Why Collins & Flores Chimney Co

Built on Trust & Craftsmanship

Collins & Flores Chimney Co keeps Englewood homes warm, safe, and ready for Tennessee’s unpredictable seasons. When autumn leaves drop and winter’s damp chill sets in, your chimney works overtime—pulling in cold air, pushing out smoke, and fighting creosote buildup that can spark a dangerous chimney fire before you even strike a match. We don’t just clean; we prepare your flue for the real test: sudden ice storms, heavy snow load, and the relentless cycle of freeze-thaw that cracks masonry and lets water seep into your chimney’s core. Our crews arrive with the tools and timing to outpace Mother Nature, so your fireplace stays a cozy retreat, not a repair project.

Free estimates with no hidden upsells

Simple Process

How It Works

1

Book your fall slot before October 15

Englewood’s peak season starts the week after the first frost. We open new slots daily in September and October, but the best times fill fast. Call (865) 273-0822 or use our online scheduler to lock in your appointment before the rush.

2

Level 1 inspection first—no exceptions

Every job starts with a NFPA-compliant Level 1 inspection. We document creosote levels, flue condition, and any code violations. If we spot cracks, blockages, or excessive buildup, we’ll show you photos and recommend next steps before we touch a brush.

3

Sweep, repair, or cap—your call, your timeline

After the inspection, you decide what to fix. We provide a written estimate with photos and a clear timeline. Need a cap today? We install it while we’re on-site. Planning masonry work for spring? We’ll schedule it now and protect your chimney until then.

4

Final walkthrough and warranty paperwork

We leave your Englewood home cleaner than we found it. You get a full report, before-and-after photos, and a printed warranty for any repairs. We also leave a reminder card with your next recommended inspection date—so you never forget again.

What Our Customers Say

"Called Collins & Flores on a Tuesday after a raccoon got stuck in our flue. They had us inspected and capped by Thursday—no mess, no fuss. Our chimney’s never been cleaner, and the warranty gave us peace of mind for winter."

M&
Mark & Lisa Henderson

"After last year’s ice storm knocked a brick loose, I was nervous about leaks. They repointed the chimney in one afternoon and sealed it so well we didn’t even notice the rain this spring. Highly recommend for Englewood homes with older brickwork."

JR
Judy Reynolds
Piney Creek Rd, Englewood

"I’ve used three different sweeps over 20 years. Collins & Flores is the only one who showed me creosote levels in photos and explained why my liner needed replacing. No upsells—just honest advice and a clean flue."

TA
Tom Alvarez
Englewood Estates

"We moved into an Englewood home with a 1970s chimney. The crew found a hidden crack in the smoke chamber that could’ve caused a fire. Fixed it the same week. Now we schedule every fall—no surprises."

"Same-day service when a cold front rolled in. They swept, inspected, and tested CO levels in under three hours. Our fireplace’s draft improved immediately—no more smoke in the living room. Great local company."

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my Englewood chimney smell like campfire in July when I haven’t used it since spring?

That musty, campfire smell is creosote moisture trapped in your flue, reacting to summer humidity. When warm air rises through a cold chimney, it condenses on creosote deposits, creating a damp, smoky odor that lingers until the flue dries out. A seasonal-prep sweep removes the buildup before it worsens, and installing a top-sealing damper blocks humid air from entering.

What’s that white crust on my chimney’s bricks near the roofline in Englewood?

That white crust is efflorescence—salt deposits left behind when water evaporates from your chimney’s masonry. It signals chronic moisture seepage, often from a cracked crown or missing chimney cap, which can freeze and expand in winter, splitting bricks. We seal cracks and install proper flashing to stop the cycle.

After a windstorm in Englewood, I hear a whistling sound from my chimney—should I worry?

Yes—whistling usually means your chimney cap is damaged or missing, letting wind funnel through gaps and create noise. More critically, it exposes your flue to rain, debris, and even animals. We inspect caps and flashing after storms to prevent water damage and draft issues.

Why does my fireplace glass turn black even when I burn seasoned oak in Englewood?

Black glass means your chimney isn’t drafting properly, often due to creosote buildup or a flue obstruction. Seasoned oak burns cleanly, but if your chimney isn’t drawing smoke upward, soot coats the glass instead. A pre-season sweep restores proper airflow and keeps your glass clear.

My chimney’s mortar joints are crumbling near the roofline—is this urgent in Englewood’s climate?

Absolutely. Crumbling mortar lets water penetrate, freeze, and expand, cracking bricks and damaging the flue liner. In Englewood’s freeze-thaw cycles, this damage accelerates. We repoint mortar and seal joints to protect your chimney’s structure for years.

After a chimney sweep in Englewood, my damper squeaks when I open it—is that normal?

No—squeaking indicates rust or debris binding the damper, which can prevent it from sealing tightly. A stuck damper lets heat escape and cold air in, reducing efficiency. We lubricate and adjust dampers during sweeps to ensure smooth operation.

Why do I see rust stains on my chimney’s flashing after heavy rains in Englewood?

Rust stains on flashing mean water is pooling where the chimney meets the roof, corroding metal over time. This usually stems from poor flashing installation or a damaged chimney crown. We reseal flashing and repair crowns to prevent leaks and structural damage.

My neighbor’s chimney caught fire last winter—what warning signs should I watch for in Englewood?

Watch for thick, brown creosote buildup, warped flue tiles, or a hot smell during use. These signs mean your chimney is primed for a fire. We remove hazardous creosote and inspect flue tiles during seasonal sweeps to eliminate risks before they ignite.
