Cedar Mountain is a wooded community in southern Transylvania County near the DuPont State Recreational Forest, known for its waterfalls, summer camps, and cabins tucked among the pines toward the South Carolina line. At about 2,400 feet it's classic waterfall country, with homes ranging from rustic camps to newer mountain retreats spread along quiet forest roads. There's no natural gas here, so fireplaces run on propane and wood, a natural fit for cabins deep in the woods that lose power in mountain storms. Since Helene, backup heat that works off the grid has become a top request among area homeowners.

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 Cedar Mountain and Transylvania 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 Transylvania County. A sound chimney is exactly what lets Cedar Mountain homeowners rely on a wood or gas fireplace as real heat all winter — including when a storm takes the power down.

The chimney crown is the sloped slab of concrete or mortar that covers the top of the masonry and directs rainwater away from the flue and brick. Freeze-thaw cycles in the mountains crack crowns quickly, and once water works in, it spreads into the joints below and accelerates spalling. Steady Flame repairs hairline cracks with flexible crown coating and rebuilds crowns that have deteriorated beyond patching.
