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.

AfterFast, Reliable Chimney Repair Across Conley
Chimney repair in Conley, GA typically runs $350 – $1,800 depending on whether we’re sealing a crown, resetting flashing, or rebuilding spalled brick above the roofline. Most repairs take half a day to a full day, and you’ll get a written price before any tool comes off the truck. If you’re seeing water stains near the fireplace or noticing brick dust in the firebox, call Flint Chimney Sweep at (830) 251-4560 and we’ll put a camera up the flue to find out exactly what’s going on. Hank Delano leads our crew, and every repair carries a written one-year guarantee under The Garrison Standard.
Conley sits in a pocket of Clayton County where heavy red-clay soil and a high water table keep masonry chimneys wicking moisture year-round, so flashing failures and spalling brick at the crown show up faster here than in drier metro cities on the north side. We know the rooflines off Conley Road, around Cedar Grove Road, and through the neighborhoods near Bouldercrest Drive. That local knowledge means we know where water pools, where flashing pulls loose, and what to check first when you call us.

Homeowners in Conley call us because they’ve been burned before, by companies that no-show or move the price at the door. We handle our schedule the same way we handle our pricing: squarely. Dispatch and scheduling for Conley are coordinated from our Atlanta office, and crews serve Conley locally. We know the difference between a cosmetic crack and a structural problem, and we’ll tell you straight if a repair can wait or if it needs attention now.

Chimney Liner Installation in Conley
Chimney Liner Installation in Conley replaces the inner liner that channels smoke and exhaust safely out of the house. Clay tile liners crack over time, especially in Conley’s wet-dry cycle, and once they do, carbon monoxide can leak into the wall cavities or living space. We install DuraFlex stainless steel liners sized to your flue, and the work typically runs $1,200 – $3,200 depending on liner length and whether we need to knock out the old clay tile first. The liner itself is warrantied by the manufacturer, and our installation carries the full one-year Flint guarantee.
When a Liner Needs Replacement
You need a new liner when the camera shows cracks, gaps between tile sections, or missing mortar joints. A liner that’s flaking means moisture is getting into the chimney structure from the inside, and that accelerates spalling on the exterior brick. We don’t recommend a liner replacement without showing you the camera footage that proves it.
What the Job Involves
We measure the flue, remove damaged tile if needed, drop the new stainless liner down, and connect it to the appliance and the top plate. The crew seals the crown and installs a proper cap before we leave. You get a photo report showing the new liner in place, top to bottom.
Chimney Flashing Repair in Conley
Chimney Flashing Repair in Conley addresses the metal flashing where the chimney meets the roofline, the first point of failure in this part of Clayton County. When flashing pulls away from the masonry, water tracks down the flue liner and into the firebox, which is why you’ll see staining on the ceiling near the fireplace. Flashing repair in Conley typically runs $350 – $900, including new step flashing, counter flashing, and a watertight seal. If the flashing is beyond saving, we’ll tell you before we touch anything.
Signs the Flashing Has Failed
Water stains on the ceiling or walls adjacent to the fireplace, damp smells after rain, or rust streaks down the chimney face all point to flashing. In Conley’s clay-heavy soil, the wet-dry cycle works flashing loose faster than you’d expect, and it only takes one bad seam to start a leak that runs for months.
How We Fix It
We cut out the failed flashing, install new step and counter flashing, and seal every seam with a commercial-grade sealant. Then we run the camera again to confirm no water is getting through. The repair is documented with before-and-after photos, and it’s covered by the 365-Day Done Right Promise.
Trusted Brands We Service in Conley
We work with professional-grade chimney materials because the name on the box matters. DuraFlex liners, Olympia Chimney caps and dampers, Famco flashing components, and Copperfield chimney tops are all part of our regular inventory, specified by job, not by margin. When a Conley homeowner needs a part, we’re not waiting on a shipment from across the country. We keep common components stocked so the repair happens on schedule, and every installed part is covered under our written workmanship guarantee for a full year.
Common Chimney Repair Problems We See in Conley Homes
- Flashing pulled away at the roofline. Conley’s wet-dry cycles in clay-heavy soil create constant expansion and contraction, and flashing is the first thing to let go. Homeowners near Bouldercrest Drive and Cedar Grove Road see this after a single rainy season.
- Cracked crowns and spalled brick. The crown is the concrete cap on top of the chimney, and once it cracks, water gets in and freezes, spalling the brick face. Most homeowners never look at the crown until the damage is visible from the yard.
- Second and third-degree creosote above the damper. A standard brush never reaches the smoke chamber or the ledge above the damper. That’s where the dangerous creosote hides, and it’s why our camera inspection matters more than the brush itself.
- Water in the firebox after rain. This almost always traces back to flashing or crown failure, not the flue. Homeowners off Conley Road call us after spring rains with a wet firebox and a stain spreading across the ceiling, and the fix is usually at the roofline, not the firebox.

We were called out to a home off Conley Road where the homeowner had water staining on the ceiling near the fireplace after a stretch of spring rain. Our tech ran a Level 2 inspection, found the flashing at the roofline had pulled away from the masonry, and the crown had a hairline crack letting water run down into the smoke chamber. We documented everything on camera, re-set the flashing, sealed the crown, and left the homeowner a photo report showing the before and after. That’s how every Conley repair goes: see it, price it, fix it, prove it.

FAQs About Chimney Repair in Conley
A Conley chimney needs a Level 1 inspection at least once a year, and more often if you burn wood regularly. The National Fire Protection Association recommends annual inspection for all chimneys, fireplaces, and vents. In Conley’s climate, we recommend an inspection after any season with heavy rain, because moisture intrusion accelerates crown and flashing failure. Call (830) 251-4560 to book an inspection, and we’ll give you a written report with photos.
A chimney repair starts with a camera inspection and a written price agreed before any work begins. We run the camera up the flue to see the smoke chamber, the liner, and the crown, then we show you what we found and explain what needs to be done and what can wait. Nothing gets touched until you’ve approved the scope and the number. That’s The Garrison Standard, and it applies to every Conley job.
Same-day booking is not something we promise, because a proper repair starts with an inspection and a written estimate. What we do promise is that a live person answers the phone 24/7, and we’ll get you on the schedule as soon as a crew is available. Call (830) 251-4560 and we’ll work out the soonest appointment that fits your schedule.
Trust the water stain, not the neighbor. The stain means water is getting in somewhere, and the two most common entry points in Conley are the flashing at the roofline and a cracked crown. What you can check from the ground is whether the chimney looks wet or darker in patches after rain, and whether any rust streaks run down the masonry. From there, you need a camera inspection to pinpoint the leak. Call (830) 251-4560 and we’ll find it and show you the footage.
We repair and replace chimney liners, and we install new stainless steel liners when the old clay tile is cracked or missing. We use DuraFlex liners, and every liner installation includes a camera verification before and after. If the liner is intact and the problem is creosote buildup, we’ll tell you that instead, rather than selling you a liner you don’t need. The camera doesn’t lie, and neither do we.
