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 Marietta, GA
Chimney cleaning in Marietta runs $179 – $259 for a standard sweep, with inspections at $199 – $349 and repairs ranging from $250 for minor crown work up to $4,900 for a full flue relining. Most jobs are booked within a few days, not weeks. We’re Flint Chimney Sweep, and we put every price in writing before a single tool comes off the truck. Marietta’s mix of 1950s ranches, 1980s colonials, and newer East Cobb builds means no two chimneys here are the same, and the work changes house to house. Call (830) 251-4560 for a straight answer about your chimney.
Why Marietta Homes Are Different
Marietta sits at the edge of the Georgia Piedmont, so homes here get real seasonal swings: cold snaps in January where a fireplace runs every night, then long humid stretches through the summer. That humidity does a number on masonry. Mortar holds water, and when it freezes in winter then bakes in the Georgia sun, you get spalling brick and cracked crowns. We see that constantly around Whitlock Avenue and the older neighborhoods off Powder Springs Road, where chimneys have forty or fifty years of weather in them.
The housing stock matters too. East Cobb and the areas around Johnson Ferry Road trend newer, with prefab fireplaces and factory-built chimneys. West Marietta and the historic districts around the Square are older masonry work, often with original clay tile liners. Each one needs a different eye. Then there’s the simple fact that Marietta sits under tree cover in most neighborhoods, and pine needles, oak leaves, and the occasional squirrel nest end up in flues six months of the year. If you haven’t had the chimney looked at since you bought the place, there’s a good chance you’re burning with a partially blocked flue right now.
Our Main Marietta Services
Most Marietta calls to us are for one of two things: a sweep before the first fire of fall, or an inspection because the house just changed hands. We also handle the repair work those inspections turn up. Here’s how each one works in Marietta.
Chimney Sweep in Marietta
Marietta’s burn season runs roughly October through March, and the best time to book is late summer or early fall, before the rush. A standard sweep here means clearing creosote, soot, and the usual leaf and debris buildup out of the flue, then a visual check of the firebox and damper. Crews bring drop cloths and HEPA-filtered vacuums, and the house stays clean. For the full rundown on exactly what’s included and a written price for your setup, see our Chimney Sweep in Marietta page.
Chimney Inspection in Marietta
Home sales around Marietta almost always involve a chimney inspection now, and we do plenty of them for East Cobb and West Cobb buyers and sellers. An inspection here is a Level 1 or Level 2 camera look at the flue, crown, damper, and firebox, depending on what the house needs. Marietta’s older homes have enough history that the camera usually earns its keep. We hand over photos and a written report of exactly what we found. To see what each inspection level covers, visit our Chimney Inspection in Marietta page.
Chimney Repair in Marietta
When a sweep or inspection turns up cracked flue tiles, a rusted damper, or a crown that’s lost its seal, repair is the next step. In Marietta, the most common repairs are crown resealing, flue relining, and damper replacement, and every one of them carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. That means if a covered repair fails within a full year, we return at no charge. No follow-up call, no argument. See what a repair involves around here on our Chimney Repair in Marietta page.

What pushes a Marietta job toward the high end is usually access: a steep roof pitch off Burnt Hickory Ridge or a chimney that’s hard to reach from the crown. A two-story chimney on a slope takes longer and costs more than a single-story ranch. Whatever the number ends up, you get it in writing before any work begins, and the invoice matches.
