A firm, all-in price confirmed before we start — no surprises.
On time, done to standard, and tidy when we leave.
Full sweep of the flue, firebox, and smoke chamber to remove creosote and soot. We drop cloths over the hearth and vacuum with sealed equipment so soot stays out of your living room in Virginia-Highland or Grant Park.
Visual check of the readily accessible interior and exterior of a chimney in regular use with no known problems. Paired with a routine sweep, it confirms the flue is clear and venting properly.
Camera scan of the flue liner plus the level-1 checks, done for home sales, after a chimney fire, or after a system change. This is the inspection most Atlanta real-estate closings ask for.
Targeted removal of glazed and layered creosote, the single biggest fire hazard in Atlanta chimneys. Heavy third-degree buildup takes more labor than a standard sweep and is quoted after we see the flue.
Supply and fit of a stainless cap to keep rain, leaves, and squirrels out of the flue. Caps matter most on the older masonry chimneys common in Inman Park and Cabbagetown.
Sealing and patching of the concrete crown at the top of the chimney where cracks let water into the structure. Atlanta's freeze-thaw swings and heavy summer storms widen these cracks fast.
Clearing of bird nests, squirrels, and debris blocking the flue, then a cap to stop it happening again. Common on chimneys near tree-heavy streets in Morningside and Candler Park.
Cleaning of the connector pipe and flue for wood stoves and fireplace inserts, which burn cooler and build creosote faster than open fireplaces.
If your fireplace gets regular use and you just need seasonal upkeep, choose an annual sweep with a level-1 inspection — it removes the creosote buildup that causes most flue fires and confirms the system is clear. If you are buying or selling a home in Buckhead or Druid Hills, choose a level-2 inspection, which adds a camera scan of the flue liner and is the version most real-estate transactions expect. If you smell smoke pushing into the room, see staining on the crown, or hear animals in the flue, choose a diagnostic visit before booking repairs so we find the real cause first. The trade-off is simple: a basic sweep is the fastest and lowest cost but only covers cleaning, while a level-2 inspection costs more and takes longer because it documents the flue interior and any hidden defects.

Atlanta's tree canopy is one of the densest of any major U.S. city, so oaks and hardwoods over homes in Druid Hills, Morningside, and Candler Park drop leaves and drive nesting animals straight into open flues. The city's humid summers and winter freeze-thaw cycles also work water into cracked crowns and unlined masonry chimneys, which are common in the older bungalows of Inman Park, Cabbagetown, and Grant Park. We work across the BeltLine neighborhoods and out to the Perimeter, and we know the difference between a 1920s clay-tile flue near Ponce City Market and a newer prefab system in the northern suburbs.
Neighborhoods we cover: Buckhead, Virginia-Highland, Inman Park, Grant Park, Druid Hills, Morningside, Candler Park, West End, Kirkwood, Cabbagetown.
A standard sweep with a level-1 inspection in Atlanta starts at the $150 on-site minimum and typically runs $150–$275. Heavy creosote, a hard-access roof, or a level-2 camera inspection cost more. We give a free on-site estimate and confirm the exact price before we start.
Most Atlanta homeowners who use a wood-burning fireplace should have the chimney swept and inspected once a year, ideally before heating season. Wood stoves and inserts that burn cooler build creosote faster and may need more frequent attention.
Creosote is a flammable tar-like residue that condenses inside the flue as wood smoke cools, and it is the leading cause of chimney fires in Atlanta homes. Annual sweeping removes the buildup before it reaches the glazed third-degree stage that is hardest to clean and most likely to ignite.
