Why West Memphis Homeowners Choose Hearthstone Chimney Co.
We’ve been sweeping chimneys across Crittenden County for over 42 years, and the West Memphis calls keep coming because we treat this city as its own place, not as Memphis’s afterthought. In the Edgemont area near Broadway and 7th, we’ve pulled enough creosote from 1960s brick chimneys to know which block has clay flue tiles versus the ones with unlined stacks. Down toward the riverfront near the I-55 bridge approach, we’ve documented crown deterioration on homes where the Mississippi humidity has been working for decades.
Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and carry photo-documented inspection equipment. Every sweep ends with pictures you can see and a plain-English verdict. The 90-Day Done Right Promise covers every job in writing, no arguing. If it’s not right, we come back. Most West Memphis appointments are completed in a single visit with no-hassle upfront pricing. The number on the estimate is the number on the invoice.
Calls are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Not voicemail. Not a callback queue. A real voice.

Why West Memphis’s Climate & Housing Affect Chimney Cleaning
West Memphis sits directly on the Mississippi River floodplain, giving it some of the highest year-round ambient humidity in Arkansas. That moisture accelerates mortar joint erosion, crown cracking, and moisture wicking in the city’s stock of aging mid-century masonry chimneys far more aggressively than in inland Arkansas cities. We’ve opened flues in Edgemont homes where the clay liner has turned to powder from decades of humidity cycling, and we’ve photographed crown cracks on Broadway corridor chimneys that let water straight into the smoke chamber.
The short but damp heating season creates another problem particular to this river town. Residents frequently burn green or wet wood, producing rapid third-degree creosote accumulation in chimneys that see only occasional use. Third-degree creosote is glazed, tar-like, and highly combustible. It cannot be removed with standard brushing alone. We treat it with chemical modifiers during the sweep, then mechanical removal, then verify clearance with our camera system. This is not a place where a quick brush-and-go suffices.
There’s also the cross-river complication. Because Memphis dominates the regional economy, many West Memphis homeowners instinctively call Tennessee-licensed chimney companies. Those contractors’ licenses are not valid for work performed in Arkansas. If you ever sell your home, Arkansas code-compliant documentation matters. We are properly registered to work in Crittenden County, and our documentation holds up at closing.

FAQs About Chimney Cleaning in West Memphis
A standard chimney sweep and Level-1 inspection in West Memphis costs between $149 and $189. If your chimney has glazed creosote from burning wet wood, chemical removal runs $189 to $340. Call (844) 803-1545 for a free estimate with exact pricing for your flue condition.
The National Fire Protection Association recommends annual inspection, with cleaning as needed. In West Memphis, we find that occasional-use fireplaces often need sweeping every 1-2 years, while frequent winter burning, especially with green or wet wood, can require annual or even mid-season cleaning due to rapid creosote buildup. Call us to schedule based on your actual burn habits.
No. Arkansas requires its own contractor registration, and Tennessee licenses are not valid for work performed in West Memphis. We’ve encountered homeowners who discovered this only at closing, when their chimney documentation failed Arkansas inspection. Hearthstone Chimney Co. is properly registered in Arkansas, and our paperwork holds up for insurance and real estate transactions.
Repair is almost always less expensive than rebuild, but only if the structure is fundamentally sound. In West Memphis’s 1940s-1970s housing stock, we often find that localized repointing, crown sealing, or liner installation extends chimney life by decades for a fraction of rebuild cost. Our Level-2 camera inspection gives you the real condition so you can decide with actual facts. Call (844) 803-1545 to schedule.
We offer same-day or next-day appointments throughout West Memphis and our New South Memphis service area, including the Edgemont and Broadway corridor areas.
