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 Covington Homes Are Different
Chimney work in Covington comes down to climate and housing stock. The summer heat and humidity mean water damage moves fast through brick and mortar, and winter brings freeze-thaw cycles that expand hairline cracks into real problems. Homes off Floyd Street and around the historic downtown district were largely built before 1960, and many still have their original masonry fireboxes and terra cotta flue tiles. Those systems were built for open fires, not for the decades of heat cycling most have absorbed since.
Newer subdivisions along the Alcovy Road corridor and out toward Highway 278 trend toward pre-fab fireplaces and factory-built chimney systems, which have their own failure points: warped panels, rusted chase covers, and joints that separate over time. We work on both types constantly. Regardless of which side of Covington you’re on, the same rule applies here as everywhere we operate: we show you the camera evidence before recommending any work, and the price is in writing first.
Our Main Covington Services
These are the three services Covington homeowners call us about most. Each has its own page with local pricing and specifics.
Chimney Sweep in Covington
A standard sweep in Covington runs $179 – $299, and most take roughly an hour. We remove creosote and soot from the flue, smoke chamber, damper assembly, and firebox, then run a camera up to confirm the flue is clear. Georgia’s humid summers can turn moderate creosote buildup sticky and corrosive faster than you’d expect, so we recommend a look even if the chimney was swept recently. Full details are on our Chimney Sweep in Covington page.
Chimney Inspection in Covington
We charge a flat $159 for a Level 1 inspection, which covers the accessible portions of the chimney interior and exterior. A Level 2 inspection at $349 includes a full video scan of the flue and is the one we recommend after any storm, before buying a home in Covington, or when a fireplace hasn’t been used in years. We inspect per NFPA 211 standards and you receive a written report with photos. See Chimney Inspection in Covington for what each level includes.
Chimney Repair in Covington
Repairs in Covington most often involve crown sealing, flashing replacement, tuckpointing, or flue relining. Depending on the scope, work runs anywhere from a few hundred dollars for a chase cover swap to several thousand for a full stainless liner through a two-story chase. Every repair we quote is confirmed by camera before we ask for approval, and every repair carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. The breakdown is on our Chimney Repair in Covington page.
