Chimney Repair in Cleveland, TN
Cleveland's Centenary Avenue and Ocoee Street historic districts hold more than a hundred homes built between 1850 and 1949, in Tudor Revival, Craftsman, and Colonial Revival styles, and nearly every one has an original brick chimney. The blocks around Lee University and downtown Cleveland share the same housing stock. These chimneys were built for coal grates and open wood fires and have carried a century of exhaust through unlined or clay-tiled flues, so the mortar joints are worn, the crowns are cracked, and many fireplaces have been closed off for years. When a new owner in the historic district wants to bring one back, we start with a camera inspection and a straight answer.
Your local chimney experts in Cleveland
Bradley County has a serious storm history. The tornado outbreak of April 2011 hit the Cleveland area hard, and spring severe weather comes through most years with straight-line winds that pull caps, bend chase covers, and crack chimney flashing. After every storm season we find chimneys in Hopewell, McDonald, and North Cleveland that lost a cap in April and have been taking water ever since. Summer humidity near the Hiwassee and Ocoee rivers keeps unswept flues damp, and the burn season from October through March is long enough that heavy users build creosote at a rate that surprises them.
New subdivisions along APD 40 in Black Fox and Georgetown have factory-built fireplaces inside framed chases. Those systems fail at the chase cover and the cap, not the firebox, and need a check after storm season. Rural homes toward the Cherokee National Forest burn wood as primary heat, and uncapped flues there fill with animals by summer. The Cleveland location helps Bradley County homeowners plan the right work: a late-spring inspection of caps, covers, and flashing after storm season, liners and sympathetic masonry repair for the historic districts, fall sweeps for heavy burners, and gas-log conversions where the flue can be properly lined. Inspections and repairs are scheduled through the Cleveland location Monday through Saturday, 9 AM to 5 PM.

Answers specific to Cleveland homes and weather. Have another? Call us anytime.
Often yes. We inspect the flue with a camera, check the firebox and smoke chamber, and confirm the chimney is structurally sound. Most chimneys of that age need a stainless liner and some masonry repair before use, and we can do the exterior work in a way that respects the historic appearance.
Look for a missing or bent cap, water stains on the ceiling near the chimney, and rust streaks on the siding below a chase. Bradley County storms regularly cause all three. We inspect the cap, chase cover, crown, and flashing together, since wind damage rarely affects only one.
At least once a year, and a heavy burner may need a second sweep mid-season. The humidity here keeps creosote soft and corrosive, so it does more damage to a liner between cleanings than it would in a drier climate.
The Cleveland location keeps the same schedule as every National Chimney Pros location: Monday through Saturday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, closed on Sunday. Work is arranged as an appointment through the location, so call or use the contact form to set a date that suits you.
From September on, the Cleveland calendar fills with pre-season sweeps, and October dates go first. Calling in late summer usually means a choice of dates, while calling in October may mean a wait of a few weeks. Spring and early summer are the quietest months and the easiest time to get a repair done.
Yes. A Level 2 inspection with a camera scan of the flue is what we recommend before closing on a house in Cleveland, especially an older brick home. You receive a dated photo report that a buyer, seller, or lender can review, along with a written quote for any repair the scan turns up.
