Level 1 sweep and inspection to the NFPA 211 annual standard - flue, crown, cap, and flashing checked and photographed
Chimney sweep logs do not sweep chimneys. They loosen some creosote - which then falls where a brush and vacuum still have to collect it.

AfterChimney Company in Gresham Park, GA
Flint Chimney Sweep handles chimney cleaning, inspection, and repair for Gresham Park homeowners, with every job quoted in writing before the first tool comes off the truck. Homes here run on varied construction from mid-century brick ranches to newer builds, and the damp, humid climate of DeKalb County does real work on mortar joints and flue liners over time. If you need a straight answer on what your chimney needs and what it costs, call (830) 251-4560.
Why Gresham Park Homes Are Different
Gresham Park sits just south of East Atlanta, a quiet grid of roads like Gresham Road, Flat Shoals Road, and Clifton Church Road where lot sizes run generous and many chimneys were built in the 1960s and 70s. That age matters. The original terra cotta flue liners in those older chimneys crack under years of thermal stress, and once a liner cracks, the chimney no longer contains heat the way it should. Combine that with our long, damp springs and the occasional hard freeze, and spalling brick (the face of the brick popping off) shows up more often here than in drier parts of the metro.
We also see a lot of chimneys that were built before modern cap and crown standards were common. A missing or rusted rain cap lets water straight down the flue, and water plus creosote makes a mess that sweeping alone won’t fix. Gresham Park’s mix of original owners and newer families means we routinely work on chimneys that haven’t been opened in a decade, and those always start with an inspection before any sweep is quoted. Hank Delano has been clear about the order of operations: look first, quote second, work third.
Our Main Gresham Park Services
Most calls we get in Gresham Park start with a sweep or an inspection, then sometimes lead into repair once we see what’s actually inside the flue. The three services below each have their own dedicated page showing exactly what’s covered and what to expect.
Chimney Sweep in Gresham Park
A chimney sweep in this part of DeKalb County typically means clearing creosote, soot, and whatever debris has fallen down an uncapped flue. Gresham Park’s mature trees drop leaves, twigs, and occasionally whole branches onto roof lines, and if there’s no rain cap, some of that ends up inside the chimney. Our sweep includes full interior brushing, a check of the damper, and a written report of what we found. Full details are on the Chimney Sweep in Gresham Park page.
Chimney Inspection in Gresham Park
An inspection is the fastest way to know whether a Gresham Park chimney is safe to use, especially on a house you just bought or one that’s been idle for a few seasons. We run a camera up the flue so you see what we see, and that footage becomes part of the written inspection report. This matters in a neighborhood with older housing stock, because the difference between “sweep it and burn” and “needs a liner” is only visible on camera. Full scope is on the Chimney Inspection in Gresham Park page.
Chimney Repair in Gresham Park
When we find cracked flue tiles, failed mortar, or a rusted-through damper, repair is the fix. In Gresham Park, we commonly see water-damaged crowns and smoke chambers that need parging (a smooth, fire-rated coating applied to the inside of the smoke chamber). Every repair we do carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise, a written guarantee for one full year. The Chimney Repair in Gresham Park page covers what we fix and how the guarantee works.

Two things push a Gresham Park quote higher than this table: heavy Stage 3 creosote that takes extra passes and roof access that’s genuinely awkward, like a steep pitch on an older lot where the chimney sits far from the ladder line. Every price is delivered in writing before work begins, so the number you approve is the number you pay.
