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.

Most Bonanza homes were built 15 to 30 years ago with wood-burning fireplaces, so creosote buildup and flashing leaks are the two jobs we see most.

Why Bonanza Homes Are Different
Bonanza sits south of Atlanta in Clayton County, and the housing stock here runs young compared to older in-town neighborhoods. Most homes went up in the 1990s and 2000s, often with prefabricated fireplaces and factory-built chimneys rather than full masonry stacks. That changes the work. Prefab chimneys use galvanized or stainless chase covers up top, and those covers rust out faster in Georgia humidity than a brick crown ever will. We routinely pull off a chase cover in Bonanza and find rusted screw heads, standing water, and a chimney cap that’s been leaking for two winters before anyone noticed.
Fires here are seasonal, not daily. Most Bonanza homeowners burn a few dozen fires between November and February, then let the fireplace sit for eight months. That intermittent use pattern is actually harder on a chimney than steady burning because creosote sits and hardens over a hot, humid Georgia summer. Come fall, the first fire of the season bakes that old creosote against the flue wall. If it’s thick enough, that’s exactly when a chimney fire happens. Our Bonanza sweeps and Chimney Inspection in Bonanza work is built around this pattern: sweep before the first burn, inspect the flashing and cap before spring rains.
Our Main Bonanza Services
Bonanza homeowners call Flint Chimney Sweep most often for two things: a straightforward chimney sweeping before burning season, and a leak or draft problem that needs an inspection to pin down. Every one of these jobs gets a written price before we begin.
Chimney Sweep in Bonanza
A fireplace that’s been burned all winter without a cleaning will have creosote, ash, and sometimes a bird nest or squirrel debris in the flue. We run rotary brushes and HEPA-filtered vacuums through the entire system, from firebox to rain cap. In Bonanza’s prefab fireplaces, the sweep includes checking the refractory panels for cracks and the damper for smooth operation. Once the flue is clean, we tell you plainly whether it’s safe to burn. No upsell, no scare tactic. Chimney Sweep in Bonanza
Chimney Inspection in Bonanza
We inspect chimneys at three levels, and in Bonanza the Level 2 is the one that matters most. A Level 2 uses a camera to look inside the flue and around the firebox, which is the only way to see a cracked flue tile or rusted-through chase cover before it turns into a leak or a fire hazard. We do these when a house changes hands, after a chimney fire, or when a homeowner notices a smell, a draft, or water on the hearth. The written report includes photos from the camera, so you can see exactly what we saw. Chimney Inspection in Bonanza
Chimney Repair in Bonanza
When a sweep or inspection turns up a problem, the repair is a separate, written quote. In Bonanza, the most common repairs are chase cover replacement on prefab chimneys, crown sealing on masonry chimneys, and flashing replacement where the chimney meets the roofline. We work with HeatShield cerfractory sealant for flue joint repair, DuraFlex liners when a flue needs relining, and Olympia Chimney caps. Every repair carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. Chimney Repair in Bonanza
