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.

Why Atlanta Homes Are Different
Atlanta sits inside a dense tree canopy, and that canopy is the first thing any chimney technician notices. Pines, oaks, and sweetgums shed constantly, and the creosote that builds up in flues here often carries leaf litter and fine organic dust, not just wood residue. In neighborhoods like Kirkwood, East Atlanta, and Grant Park, chimneys are frequently 70 to 100 years old, which means unlined or terra-cotta-lined flues that absorb moisture differently than the stainless liners we install on newer construction.
Atlanta’s summer humidity also does real work on brick. Hot, wet air saturates masonry for months, then winter freezes arrive and water trapped in the brick expands. That cycle is why we see spalling brick faces and loose crown mortar so often in Midtown, Virginia-Highland, and Candler Park. Homes in Buckhead and Brookhaven tend to be newer or heavily renovated, but renovations bring their own issues: chimneys that were closed off, capped incorrectly, or converted to gas without a proper liner. Each of these conditions changes how we scope a sweep, an inspection, or a repair, and each one is covered in our written price before work begins.
Our Main Atlanta Services
Most Atlanta homeowners call us about two things: getting a chimney cleaned before burning season, and figuring out whether the chimney is actually safe to use. Below are the three services we run across Atlanta, each with its own page and its own full breakdown.
Chimney Sweep in Atlanta
A sweep in Atlanta removes creosote, soot, pine needles, and whatever else has settled in your flue since the last burn. In older Atlanta homes with terra-cotta liners, we take extra care to remove buildup without gouging the clay, because a cracked liner is the start of a much more expensive repair. We run brushes sized to your flue, not a generic one-size tool, and we leave the firebox and hearth clean when we leave. Full scope, price, and guarantee are spelled out before we start. Chimney Sweep in Atlanta covers pricing, timing, and what to watch for between sweeps.
Chimney Inspection in Atlanta
An inspection in Atlanta usually starts because a buyer’s inspector flagged something in a contract, or because a homeowner heard water in the chimney during a storm. We run a camera up the flue and give you a photo report showing exactly what we found, and we never recommend liner or masonry work without showing you the image. If your Atlanta home has an older chimney that has not been opened in years, the inspection is the only honest way to know whether it is safe to burn. Chimney Inspection in Atlanta explains the three levels and what each one covers.
Chimney Repair in Atlanta
Repairs in Atlanta split into two broad groups: masonry and liner work. Masonry jobs are often crown rebuilds, tuckpointing, or flashing fixes driven by the humidity-freeze cycle we described above. Liner jobs usually mean a new stainless flue liner because the old terra-cotta cracked. Every repair we quote includes the specific materials named, the written price, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise: if a covered repair fails within one full year, we return at no charge. Chimney Repair in Atlanta shows the standard repair types and what they run.
