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 Stonecrest, GA
Flint Chimney Sweep handles chimney cleaning, inspection, and repair across Stonecrest with a simple operating rule: you get a written price before any work starts, and every repair carries a one-year written guarantee. Stonecrest’s housing stock runs heavy on 1990s and early-2000s construction, which means fireplaces and prefab chimneys are reaching the age where creosote buildup, flashing failures, and liner wear become visible problems. A standard sweep in Stonecrest typically runs $169 – $259, and inspections start at $199. Call (830) 251-4560 and a live person answers.
Why Stonecrest Homes Are Different
Stonecrest sits on DeKalb County’s eastern edge, where the terrain shifts between rolling hills and dense hardwood stands. Those hardwoods are the point. Homeowners in Stonecrest burn a lot of oak and hickory, and green or mixed hardwood produces a heavier, stickier creosote than the softwoods you see burned further north. Chimneys here load up faster, which means the interval between cleanings matters more than it does in neighborhoods where fireplaces are mostly decorative.
The housing stock compounds it. Much of Stonecrest was built out during the 1990s and 2000s construction boom, so the typical chimney is either a factory-built prefab unit or a masonry chimney with a clay tile liner that is now 20 to 30 years old. Clay liners crack with repeated heating and cooling cycles, and cracked liners are where chimney fires start. HOA covenants in Stonecrest subdivisions also come into play: many require a recent chimney inspection before a fireplace-heavy renovation or before a home sale closes. That is why our inspection reports include camera photos you can see yourself, not a verbal summary.
Our Main Stonecrest Services
Most Stonecrest homeowners contact us for one of two reasons: the fireplace has not been cleaned in years, or a home inspector flagged the chimney during a sale. Here is how each service works here.
Chimney Sweep in Stonecrest
A chimney sweep in Stonecrest removes the creosote and soot that build up inside the flue, and with the hardwoods common here, the buildup is usually substantial. Our technicians run rotary brushes the full length of the flue, clean the smoke chamber and damper assembly, and leave the firebox clean. The process takes about an hour on a typical Stonecrest fireplace. Before we start, you get a written price that matches the invoice. Full details on what is included and what it costs are on the Chimney Sweep in Stonecrest page.
Chimney Inspection in Stonecrest
A chimney inspection in Stonecrest is the service we recommend before the first fire of the season, after any storm that brought high wind, and before you buy or sell a home here. We run a camera through the flue and document what we find, then hand you a written report with the photos. For Stonecrest homes built in the 1990s, we are often the first set of eyes inside the flue since installation. The inspection tells you whether the liner is intact, whether the crown is shedding water, and whether a sweep is enough. See Chimney Inspection in Stonecrest for the three inspection levels and pricing.
Chimney Repair in Stonecrest
Chimney repair work in Stonecrest usually falls into a few predictable categories: flashing replacement where the chimney meets the roof, crown repair after water intrusion, and flue relining when a clay tile liner has cracked. We also see a fair number of prefab chimney chase covers that have rusted through. Every repair gets a written scope and price first, and every repair is covered by our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If a covered repair fails within a year, we return at no charge. The full breakdown is on the Chimney Repair in Stonecrest page.

Whatever the number, you approve it in writing before we start. The invoice matches the quote.
