Transparent pricing, real value, and no surprises—just a cleaner, safer chimney you can trust
Comprehensive chimney sweep for Powell homes and businesses.
We hold ourselves to the highest standards so you can hire with total confidence.
Some Powell sweeps quote low prices but nickel-and-dime you for ‘extra’ services like video inspections or debris disposal. We include Level 1 inspections with every sweep and haul away all waste—no dump fees passed to you. Our pricing is all-inclusive, so you’ll never see a surprise line item.
We carry $2 million in liability insurance and hold active Tennessee chimney sweep licenses. Powell’s fire departments recommend us for our safety record and adherence to NFPA standards. Check our license status with the state—no hidden paperwork.
Powell’s unpredictable weather can turn a small chimney issue into a safety hazard overnight. Call by 2 PM, and we’ll often be at your door the same day. No waiting weeks for an appointment—just fast, reliable fixes when you need them most.
All masonry repairs come with a 5-year workmanship warranty, and chimney caps include a 10-year rust guarantee. Unlike some Powell competitors, we stand behind our work in writing—because your chimney’s safety shouldn’t expire when the invoice does.
At Sullivan & Moreno Chimney Co, we believe a clean chimney shouldn’t cost you your grocery budget. Powell homeowners trust us because we strip away the smoke-and-mirrors pricing that bigger sweep companies hide behind—no hidden climb fees, no upsold inspections you don’t need, and no surprise charges when the crew shows up. We publish our flat-rate prices up front so you can compare apples to apples before the truck ever rolls into your driveway. Think of us as the budget-savvy advisor who still shows up in a crisp uniform and treats your flue like it’s our own.
"These guys saved me $300 by catching a cracked flue liner I didn’t even know was there. Their video inspection showed the problem clearly, and their repair estimate was half what the other guys quoted."
"Fast, friendly, and thorough—unlike the last chimney sweep who left soot all over my hardwood floors. Sullivan & Moreno showed up on time, cleaned up after themselves, and even fixed a wobbly damper for free."
"I called at 4 PM on a Friday because my chimney cap blew off in a storm. They were at my house by 5:30 PM and installed a new one before dinner. Can’t beat that kind of response in Powell."
"Their carbon monoxide test gave me peace of mind before winter. Turns out my draft was borderline, and they adjusted my damper for better airflow. No other Powell sweep offered that service."
"I’ve used them for three years now, and their pricing never changes. No hidden fees, no surprises—just consistent, high-quality work. They’re my go-to for chimney care in Powell."
"After a raccoon got into my chimney, they removed the nest, cleaned the flue, and installed a cap—all for less than the ‘specialist’ who wanted to charge double. Powell’s lucky to have them."

That persistent campfire odor is usually creosote residue clinging to the flue walls, releasing trapped smoke smells when humidity rises off the Clinch River or after an East Tennessee rain. A hot-pressure wash during your next sweep removes the odor at the source and costs far less than masking it with candles.
White stains are efflorescence—mineral deposits leaching out of the bricks because water is seeping through cracked mortar joints. Left unchecked, the moisture can rot the chimney’s internal structure and invite mold, so repointing the joints now saves thousands in future repairs.
Watch for flu-like symptoms—headache, dizziness, nausea—that ease when you step outside. Powell’s tight homes trap CO longer than open-air cabins, so if your family feels sluggish after cozying up by the fire, schedule a Level 2 inspection immediately.
A rattling cap usually means the mounting screws have loosened or the screen is clogged with twigs from Powell’s oak trees. We tighten the hardware and clear the debris in under 20 minutes—far cheaper than replacing the whole cap after a spring storm tears it off.
Powell’s high humidity and green hardwoods burn less efficiently, leaving behind fine soot that sticks to the flue walls faster than in drier climates. Switching to seasoned oak and scheduling a mid-season sweep keeps the buildup under control without breaking the bank.
A Level 1 is the standard sweep-and-look we do every visit; a Level 2 adds a camera crawl inside the flue to spot hidden cracks in the masonry—critical after Powell’s clay soil shifts during freeze-thaw cycles. Most homes only need Level 1, but we’ll tell you up front if you need the deeper scan.
Skipping a year can cost you more: creosote can harden into glaze that requires a chemical treatment or even relining, both of which run three times the price of a routine sweep. Powell’s building codes treat neglected chimneys the same as broken ones when it comes to insurance claims.
Beware of companies that quote a price over the phone without asking about your flue size, cap condition, or whether you’ve had prior repairs. We always walk the roof first to give you a precise, no-surprise estimate tailored to your specific Powell address.
