Bakersville is a small, remote county seat in Mitchell County, nestled below Roan Mountain where the famous rhododendron gardens bloom and the Toe River threads through steep, rugged terrain. At nearly 2,500 feet with high ridges all around, winters here are long and serious, and homes are spread up isolated coves far from any gas main. Heating means propane and wood, and a strong hearth is essential in a place where snow can close the roads. Helene's damage across Mitchell County underscored how vital reliable, self-sufficient heat is in this out-of-the-way corner of the mountains.

A fireplace or stove is only as safe as the chimney and venting behind it. Steady Flame inspects, sweeps, relines, caps, and repairs chimneys and vents throughout Bakersville and Mitchell County — clearing creosote and blockages, correcting draft problems, and making sure every flue draws cleanly. Where the job calls for it, we permit and inspect the work through Mitchell County. A sound chimney is exactly what lets Bakersville homeowners rely on a wood or gas fireplace as real heat all winter — including when a storm takes the power down.

A chimney cap is the covered guard that sits over the flue opening at the very top of the chimney. Without one, rain pours straight down the flue, animals nest inside, and hot embers can drift onto the roof. Steady Flame installs custom-fit stainless steel and copper caps, plus multi-flue models for chimneys that vent more than one appliance.
