Chimney Services Serving the Asheville Area
7 local businesses listed
Wood heat is still genuinely common around Asheville — not as a novelty, but as a primary or backup heat source, especially outside city limits where an ice storm can take power out for a couple of days. That makes chimney maintenance a safety item rather than a seasonal chore. Creosote builds faster when you’re burning at low temperatures or burning wood that hasn’t seasoned properly, and both are easy to do in a damp climate.
The other local factor is age. A lot of Asheville’s masonry chimneys were built well before modern liner requirements, and older flues that were fine for an open fireplace often aren’t right for a wood stove insert.
The companies here serve Asheville and Arden, offering sweeping, inspections, relining, cap and crown repair, and masonry work.
Get an inspection before your first fire of the season, not after you notice a problem. And if you’ve added a stove or insert since the chimney was last looked at, mention it — that changes what the flue needs to be.

Reece's Klean Sweep
Reece's Klean Sweep is a family-owned chimney company on Bee Tree Road in Swannanoa, formerly listed here as Asheville, NC Chimney Sweep. They're CSIA certified (#7513). They sweep and inspect chimneys and install chimneys and fireplaces, and the RKS Gas Piping side of the business handles gas lines. Call the office for an estimate or to ask about seasonal specials.
Warmstead
Warmstead works on chimneys and fireplaces from Dellwood Road in Waynesville, covering Asheville, Canton, Candler, and the rest of Buncombe and Haywood counties. The company opened under its own name in 2017 and previously traded as WNC Chimney Solutions. The service list runs the full range rather than sweeping alone: inspections, relining, leak repair, cap and crown work, and masonry repair, plus installation and service for wood, gas, and electric fireplaces. Gas appliance service is worth knowing about, because a lot of chimney companies only handle solid fuel and a gas insert that won't light needs someone different. They also clean dryer vents. That is a genuinely useful pairing — it is the same access problem and the same lint-and-creosote logic, and most homeowners never think about the dryer run until it stops drying in one cycle. If you burn regularly, book the inspection before the first cold snap. Fall is when every chimney company in the region is booked solid.
