Creosote is the sticky, tar-like residue that coats your chimney flue after wood burns. Over time, it hardens into a flammable glaze that can ignite and cause chimney fires—especially dangerous in Atlanta’s older homes where chimneys often go decades without proper cleaning. Our certified sweeps use brushes and vacuums to clear every inch of your flue, from the firebox to the crown. We also check for cracks or gaps that could let heat escape, wasting energy and increasing bills. No shortcuts, no mess—just a chimney restored to like-new condition. Includes a free estimate and a 10-year warranty on workmanship.
Request this service →Atlanta’s building codes require chimney inspections before home sales, after major storms, or if you’ve burned synthetic logs. We offer three inspection levels: Level 1 (basic visual check), Level 2 (camera-assisted for hidden damage), and Level 3 (full structural review if we spot red flags). Our Level 2 inspections are common for homes near the Chattahoochee River, where humidity accelerates mortar erosion. We provide a detailed report with photos and a clear action plan—no vague recommendations. All inspections include a free creosote level check and a same-day estimate if repairs are needed.
Request this service →Cracks in your chimney’s masonry aren’t just ugly—they’re a fire and carbon monoxide risk. In Atlanta’s freeze-thaw climate, bricks and mortar expand and contract, leading to gaps that let water seep in. We repair spalling bricks, repoint mortar joints, and seal flue liners to prevent leaks. Our team also replaces damaged chimney caps, which keep out rain, pests, and embers. All repairs come with a 10-year warranty and are performed with materials rated for Georgia’s humidity. We’ll even help file insurance claims if damage is storm-related.
Request this service →Atlanta’s summer storms can dump inches of rain in an hour, and a cracked chimney crown lets water pour straight into your flue. We rebuild crowns with a durable, waterproof concrete mix that resists cracking and UV damage. A proper crown also keeps pests out and prevents downdrafts that can fill your home with smoke. Our process includes removing old, crumbling crowns and installing a new one in under a day. Includes a free moisture test to check for existing water damage.
Request this service →A wood stove or fireplace that’s been sitting unused since the ‘90s needs a tune-up before your first Atlanta winter. We clean ash buildup, inspect gaskets, and test damper operation to ensure proper airflow. We also check for creosote in stovepipes and recommend upgrades like stainless steel liners for older systems. Servicing your unit before the first cold snap prevents smoke backflow and reduces the risk of chimney fires. All service calls include a free efficiency check and a report on your unit’s condition.
Request this service →A missing or damaged chimney cap is like leaving your front door wide open. In Atlanta, raccoons and squirrels love nesting in unprotected flues, and embers from a stray spark can ignite roof fires. We install custom caps that fit your chimney’s dimensions, with mesh screens to block debris while allowing smoke to escape. Caps also prevent water from entering, which can cause bricks to spall and mortar to weaken. Installation takes less than an hour, and we offer same-day service for urgent needs.
