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 Dunwoody, GA
Flint Chimney Sweep handles chimney cleaning, inspection, and repair across Dunwoody, GA. Most Dunwoody chimneys are built into 1970s and 1980s homes, and many haven’t been opened up in years – which means creosote that predates a lot of new construction in the area. We put every price in writing before any tools come off the truck, and every repair carries a 365-day written guarantee. Call (830) 251-4560 for a free estimate, any day of the week.
Why Dunwoody Homes Are Different
Dunwoody sits at the northern edge of metro Atlanta, and its housing stock reflects a very specific building boom. The neighborhoods around Mount Vernon Road, Chamblee Dunwoody Road, and the Georgetown area went up mostly between the early 1970s and late 1980s. Those chimneys are now approaching 40 to 55 years old, and the materials show it. Flue tiles crack, mortar joints open up, and the flashing where chimney meets roof has usually outlived its intended service life several times over.
Climate is the second factor. Dunwoody gets hot, humid summers and real cold snaps in winter, and the freeze-thaw cycle works on masonry every single year. Homes in the Dunwoody Club Forest and Winter’s Chapel built before modern code also tend to have shallower chimney crowns and shorter chase caps than what builders install now. That means more water entry, more spalling brick, and more calls where a sweep turns into a repair discussion. The terrain here adds access issues too, specifically on lots along the Chattahoochee side where crews need longer ladders and careful roof work to reach the flue cap safely. None of this is unusual to us anymore. It’s the baseline for what Dunwoody work looks like.
Our Main Dunwoody Services
Most Dunwoody homeowners call us for one of three things: a chimney sweep, a camera inspection, or a repair that came out of one of the first two. Each has its own page with pricing and process details.
Chimney Sweep in Dunwoody
In Dunwoody, a standard sweep is rarely just a brush through the flue. Older fireplaces along Vernon Lake Drive and Mill Glen have angled or offset flues that collect creosote unevenly, and our technicians account for that before starting. The sweep includes the firebox, smoke chamber, damper, and flue, plus a visual once-over of the chimney cap and crown from the roof when access allows. For full details, see Chimney Sweep in Dunwoody.
Chimney Inspection in Dunwoody
For older Dunwoody construction, we recommend a camera inspection whenever the chimney hasn’t been serviced recently or the home is changing ownership. A scope run up the flue catches what a visual check can’t: cracked flue tiles, gaps in mortar joints, signs of water damage behind the damper. That evidence gets saved as photo and video documentation, and you keep a copy. Read the full process here: Chimney Inspection in Dunwoody.
Chimney Repair in Dunwoody
Repairs in Dunwoody range from simple crown resealing to flue relining, which is replacing the inner liner that carries smoke safely out of the house. Any masonry contact on chimneys here, especially weather-exposed sides on the north and west, often needs tuckpointing or a new cap as part of the job. Every repair we write up includes a one-year written guarantee and a free return visit if the fix fails within that period. Details at Chimney Repair in Dunwoody.

FAQs About Chimney Company in Dunwoody
Routine sweeps and camera inspections do not require a permit. Structural repairs and full flue relining fall under the city’s building permit rules, and we typically handle that application as part of the job. We’ll tell you before any work starts whether yours needs one.
Some Dunwoody neighborhoods, particularly the larger planned communities, require exterior changes to be approved. Replacing a chimney cap, rebuilding a crown, or changing the visible exterior of a chase can fall under that. We can provide the spec sheet and renderings your HOA requests so approval doesn’t hold up the job.
Most calls around Dunwoody are booked within a few business days, and the live phone line is answered around the clock if you need to check availability. Scheduling is coordinated from our Atlanta office, and crews dispatch locally, so no Dunwoody job gets handed off to a far-flung branch.
