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 liner is the flue's protective inner shell — the barrier that keeps heat and combustion gases inside the chimney and away from the surrounding framing. When the original clay tiles crack, a metal liner corrodes, or the flue is simply too large for a new appliance to vent properly, relining restores a safe, code-compliant path for exhaust. A cracked or oversized flue can leak carbon monoxide and cause dangerous draft problems.
