Known as the Land of Waterfalls, Brevard and Transylvania County residents count on Steady Flame for dependable fireplace service. Whether you want a new wood stove for your mountain cabin or a gas fireplace repair for your downtown Brevard home, our technicians provide the same fast, expert service we're known for in Asheville.

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 Brevard 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 Brevard homeowners rely on a wood or gas fireplace as real heat all winter — including when a storm takes the power down.

A chimney inspection tells you whether it's safe to light a fire — before a hidden crack or a glaze of creosote turns into a house fire or a carbon-monoxide problem. Following the industry standard, inspections come in three levels: a Level 1 visual check for a chimney in regular use, a Level 2 camera scan required when you're buying or selling a home or changing appliances, and a Level 3 investigation when serious concealed damage is suspected.

What We Check

Steady Flame's NFI-certified technicians examine the flue lining, masonry crown, cap, flashing, firebox, damper, and every connection point, using a video camera to see inside the flue where the eye can't reach. After Helene, we found chimneys shifted and cracked by wind and waterlogged ground — damage invisible from the yard but obvious on camera. If your fireplace or stove is the plan when the power fails, a yearly inspection is what keeps that plan trustworthy.

Heating Challenges in Brevard

Transylvania County earns its 'Land of Waterfalls' nickname with some of the highest rainfall in the eastern US — averaging 80+ inches annually. This extreme moisture is hard on masonry chimneys, causing crown cracks, spalling brick, and rusted dampers. Crawl spaces and chimney chases in Brevard homes are especially prone to moisture damage, making a waterproof chimney cap and annual inspection important for any fireplace.

Seasonal Tip for Brevard Homeowners

Brevard's exceptional rainfall makes chimney waterproofing and a quality rain cap smart investments to protect your fireplace year-round. We recommend a professional chimney inspection each fall to catch moisture damage before the wet spring season (March–June) returns.
