We’ve been driving down Goodman Road and Church Road to Southaven homes since 1984, long before the Tanger Outlets broke ground and back when Stateline was still two lanes in spots. Russell Haines started this company with the idea that a chimney sweep should explain what he’s doing in plain English and leave the place cleaner than he found it. That hasn’t changed. What has changed is Southaven itself - the subdivisions off Airways Boulevard, the new construction near Snowden Grove, the aging stock of 1990s and early-2000s homes in neighborhoods like Greenbrook and Waverly Woods. Those houses are now twenty to thirty years old, and their prefabricated fireplaces are hitting the age where a simple sweep turns into a critical safety inspection.
Our technicians live in the Memphis metro area and know the difference between a Southaven home built in 1994 off Swinnea Road and one built in 2007 near the Landers Center. That local knowledge matters when we’re diagnosing whether that draft problem is creosote buildup, a corroded damper assembly, or a cracked refractory panel that’s been slowly failing through humid Mississippi summers. We’re not driving down from Nashville or up from Jackson. We’re nearby, and we answer the phone ourselves.
Why Hearthstone Chimney Co. Is Southaven’s Preferred Chimney Cleaning & Sweep Company
Forty-two years of showing up when we say. Hearthstone Chimney Co. has served the greater Memphis metro since 1984, and Southaven has been central to our route for decades. We’ve swept chimneys in the original Greenbrook subdivisions, inspected flues in Waverly Woods, and cleared raccoon nests from uncapped flues off Airways Boulevard. Russell Haines has built this company on the K.E.Y.S. code: Krafted right, Every time, Your home first, Standing behind it.
Photos you can see, a plain-English verdict. Every Level 2 inspection ends with dated photographs from inside your flue and a written report that tells you exactly what we found, what it means, and what it costs to fix. No jargon, no scare tactics. Southaven homeowners tell us this is why they call us back - they know what they’re paying for.
A live person, 24 hours a day. Call (844) 803-1545 at 6 AM or 11 PM. You’ll speak to a human being who can schedule your Southaven appointment, answer questions about our 90-Day Done Right Promise, or dispatch a technician for urgent flue blockages. No callback queues, no apps to download.
Background-checked, uniformed technicians. Our sweeps arrive in marked vehicles, wear Hearthstone uniforms, and carry photo ID. Most Southaven jobs are completed in a single visit with no-hassle upfront pricing - the number on your estimate is the number on your invoice. We’ve heard too many stories from homeowners near Horn Lake and Hernando about contractors who “found” extra problems halfway through. That doesn’t happen here. In writing, no arguing.
Our Chimney Cleaning & Sweep Services in Southaven
Level 1 Inspection & Annual Sweep
The NFPA 211 standard calls for an annual Level 1 inspection for all chimneys, fireplaces, and vents. In Southaven, where most homes burn wood only a handful of times each winter, that annual check is easy to skip - until a starling nest blocks the flue or a cracked refractory panel turns a cozy fire into a smoke-filled living room. Our Level 1 service includes a visual inspection of all readily accessible portions of your chimney, a professional sweep with HEPA-contained equipment, and a condition report. For a typical Southaven ranch or two-story off Goodman Road, this runs $129-$189 and takes under an hour.
Level 2 Camera Inspection
When you’re buying a home in Southaven, changing your heating appliance, or suspect hidden damage, a Level 2 inspection is required. We run a high-resolution camera up the full length of your flue and document every joint, liner segment, and damper assembly. In Southaven’s 1990s-era prefabricated units, we’re specifically looking for corroded damper blades, deteriorating gaskets, and refractory panel cracks that factory manuals say to replace at 1/4-inch width. The camera doesn’t lie, and the photos are yours to keep. Level 2 inspections in Southaven run $249-$349, depending on flue height and accessibility.
Creosote Removal
Southaven’s humid subtropical climate creates a specific creosote problem. Homeowners here tend to build small, smoldering fires during brief cold snaps rather than hot, roaring fires through sustained freezes. That low-temperature, oxygen-starved combustion produces glazed creosote - Stage 3 buildup that’s hard as glass, highly combustible, and impossible to remove with standard brushes. We use mechanical whips and professional-grade solvents to break down glazed deposits without damaging factory-built metal flues. Heavy creosote removal in Southaven typically adds $75-$150 to the base sweep price, depending on thickness and flue diameter.
Soot Removal & Fireplace Cleaning
Even gas fireplaces in Southaven produce soot and debris, and the decorative logs and burner ports need annual cleaning to maintain efficiency and appearance. For wood-burning units, we remove soot from the firebox, smoke chamber, and damper area, then clean the hearth and surrounding masonry or metal facing. Our $89 Seasonal Tune-Up covers basic soot removal and burner inspection for gas units - a popular appointment for Southaven homeowners in late October, before the first real cold front drops down from the northwest.

Trusted Brands We Service in Southaven
We don’t use builder-grade substitutes, and we don’t guess at parts. Our trucks stock professional-grade components from HeatShield, Gelco, and Olympia Chimney - brands that meet or exceed factory specifications for the prefabricated fireplaces common in Southaven subdivisions. When your 2002-built home off Church Road needs a new chimney cap or damper assembly, we install the part that fits, not the part that’s closest. That means faster turnaround for Southaven customers - most repairs that require parts are completed in a single visit because our technicians arrive prepared.
Common Chimney Cleaning & Sweep Problems We See in Southaven Homes
- Refractory panel failure in aging prefab units. The zero-clearance fireplaces installed during Southaven’s 1990s-2000s building boom use refractory cement panels that crack under thermal shock. We find panels at or beyond manufacturer replacement limits in roughly one of three Southaven inspections.
- Raccoon and starling nests in uncapped flues. Southaven’s mild winters and abundant tree cover along neighborhoods near Snowden Grove Park mean chimneys sit idle just long enough for wildlife to move in. A blocked flue pushes smoke and carbon monoxide back into the home - we’ve responded to emergency calls off Swinnea Road where the first fire of the season revealed a fully obstructed flue.
- Corroded damper assemblies from humidity cycling. DeSoto County’s humid summers and occasional winter ice storms create condensation inside metal fireboxes. Damper blades rust, hinges seize, and gaskets crumble. A stuck damper wastes energy year-round and can prevent proper draft even when the fireplace isn’t in use.
- Accelerated creosote from smoldering fires. Southaven homeowners who burn for ambiance rather than primary heat tend to choke down air supply, creating the exact conditions that produce glazed creosote. Annual sweeping catches it before it becomes a chimney fire hazard.

What moves the needle on price? Flue height (two-story homes off Goodman Road run higher than ranches), accessibility (steep roof pitches near the Landers Center area), and the condition of what we find. A standard sweep on a well-maintained Greenbrook fireplace stays at the low end. A neglected flue with Stage 3 creosote, a stuck damper, and a cracked refractory panel requires more time and materials. We tell you the full cost before we start - no surprises on the bill. Senior and veteran discounts apply at 5% off. Call (844) 803-1545 for a free estimate.
