Candler is a fast-growing community in western Buncombe County, located just off I-26 and US-19/23 west of Asheville. Steady Flame provides full fireplace services to Candler homeowners and businesses, with quick response times thanks to our proximity. Whether you need a fireplace repair, a new high-efficiency insert, or an outdoor fire feature, our team serves Candler residents with the same quality and reliability we bring to all of Western North Carolina.
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 Candler and Buncombe 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 Buncombe County. A sound chimney is exactly what lets Candler homeowners rely on a wood or gas fireplace as real heat all winter — including when a storm takes the power down.
Flashing is the layered metal seal where the chimney passes through the roof, and it's one of the most common sources of interior water stains wrongly blamed on the chimney itself. When flashing lifts, corrodes, or loses its sealant, rain tracks down into the attic, ceilings, and framing around the chimney chase. Steady Flame repairs and replaces step and counter-flashing to restore a fully watertight transition.
Finding the Real Leak
We pull back the failed sections, install properly layered step flashing, and lock counter-flashing into the mortar joint before sealing with a durable, weather-rated compound. Because flashing problems often mimic crown or cap leaks, we trace the actual entry point rather than just re-caulking the surface. Stopping water here protects both the framing and the fireplace system below, since chronic leaks rust dampers and rot the wood structure supporting your hearth.
Heating Challenges in Candler
Candler's Hominy Valley location creates a natural bowl where a clean-burning, sealed gas or high-efficiency wood appliance is a great choice for air-quality-conscious homeowners. The area's rapid growth has brought many new subdivisions where builder-grade fireplaces are often basic, decorative units — leaving homeowners wanting a real heat-producing insert or a proper gas log set within the first few years.
Seasonal Tip for Candler Homeowners
If you're in a newer Candler subdivision with a plain builder-grade firebox, you may be missing out on real warmth. Adding a high-efficiency insert or an upgraded gas log set is an affordable way to turn a decorative fireplace into a heat source — ask us for a free evaluation.
