A professional chimney sweep removes the creosote, soot and debris that build up every time you burn. Our technicians use rotary brushes and HEPA-filtered vacuums so nothing ends up on your floors, the dust-free cleaning Chimcare is known for.

Every sweep includes a visual check of the firebox, damper, smoke chamber and flue, and we'll tell you honestly if anything needs attention, and just as honestly if it doesn't.

What’s included

  • Firebox and smoke chamber cleaning
  • Flue brushing from cap to damper
  • Damper operation check
  • Visual condition report
Schedule a sweep

Our inspections follow the industry's three-level standard. A Level 1 inspection covers the readily accessible parts of the system and is right for annual maintenance. A Level 2 inspection adds a video scan of the flue and is recommended when you buy or sell a home, change fuel type or after any incident.

A Level 3 inspection goes beyond the surface to examine concealed areas when serious damage is suspected, after a chimney fire or a major weather event. You always receive a clear written report with photos and recommendations, not a sales pitch.

What’s included

  • Level 1, 2 and 3 inspections
  • Video camera scan of the flue
  • Written report with photos
  • Real-estate transaction inspections

We repair the components that fail most often, crowns, caps and chase covers, dampers, flue liners, smoke chambers, flashing and firebox surfaces, using materials rated for the job.

Catching a cracked crown or a rusted damper early is what keeps a minor repair from turning into a major rebuild. We show you what we find, explain the options and quote clearly before any work starts.

What’s included

  • Crown repair and replacement
  • Cap and chase cover installation
  • Damper repair and top-sealing dampers
  • Flue, smoke chamber and firebox repair

Masonry chimneys are exposed to more weather than any other part of your home. Water gets into the brick and mortar, freezes, expands and pushes the surface apart, a process called spalling. Our masonry repair restores both structural integrity and appearance.

We replace cracked or missing bricks, rebuild deteriorated sections, repair footing and structural issues, and match brick, mortar color and joint profile so the repair blends in, from a few loose bricks to a full restoration of a century-old chimney in Ne Atlanta.

What’s included

  • Brick replacement and spalling repair
  • Crack, stucco and concrete repair
  • Structural and footing repair
  • Partial and full rebuilds
Request a masonry quote

Water stains on the ceiling near the fireplace, a musty smell after rain, or white mineral deposits on the brick all point to a chimney leak. Because a chimney has several possible entry points, we start with a diagnosis rather than a guess: the crown, the flashing where chimney meets roof, the cap and chase cover, and the masonry itself.

Then we fix the actual source, resealing or replacing flashing, repairing the crown, installing a proper cap and applying breathable waterproofing so the problem doesn't come back next spring.

What’s included

  • Leak diagnosis
  • Flashing repair, sealing and installation
  • Crown sealing and repair
  • Waterproofing and moisture control
Stop the leak

Creosote is the byproduct of burning wood: unburned gases condense on the cool flue walls and harden into a flammable coating. Light, flaky creosote comes off with a standard sweep. The hard, glazed stage-3 creosote found in chimneys that burn slow, smoldering fires or unseasoned wood needs specialized removal.

We use rotary cleaning systems and, where needed, treatments that break the glaze down so it can be removed without damaging the liner, then show you how to burn so it builds more slowly next season.

What’s included

  • Stage 1–3 creosote removal
  • Smoke chamber and liner cleaning
  • Rotary cleaning for glazed deposits
  • Burning-habit advice
Schedule creosote removal

The flue is the passage that carries smoke and combustion gases out of your home. When it's coated with creosote or blocked by debris, nests or fallen tile, smoke backs up into the room, and carbon monoxide can follow.

We clear the full length of the liner from firebox to cap, clean the smoke chamber, remove blockages and verify draft. We also service flues serving wood stoves, inserts and gas appliances.

What’s included

  • Full-length liner cleaning
  • Smoke chamber cleaning
  • Blockage and nest removal
  • Draft verification
Schedule flue cleaning

Mortar is softer than brick by design, so it wears first. When joints recede, crack or crumble, water gets behind the brick and the freeze-thaw cycle takes over. Tuckpointing, also called repointing, removes the failing mortar to a proper depth and repacks the joints with new mortar matched in color, strength and profile.

Done on time, it prevents brick replacement and rebuilds. Our Ne Atlanta masons tuckpoint everything from a few joints near the crown to a full chimney.

What’s included

  • Mortar removal and repacking
  • Color and profile matching
  • Crown and cap check
  • Waterproofing after cure

Frequently Asked Questions

The industry standard is an annual inspection, with a sweep whenever creosote reaches about 1/8 inch. Signs you're overdue: a strong smoky smell in the house, smoke drifting back into the room, black flakes or tar-like deposits in the firebox, or a fire that's hard to keep going.

A chimney sweep with inspection is $299 and a chimney inspection on its own is $69, both can be booked directly in the scheduler above. Repair pricing depends on the condition, access and what the inspection turns up; we quote clearly before any work starts.

Creosote is the tar-like residue left when wood smoke cools and condenses inside the flue. It builds in three stages, flaky soot, crunchy tar and hard glaze, and all three are flammable. Burning dry, seasoned wood with a hot fire produces far less creosote than slow, smoldering fires.

Cleaning logs can loosen some creosote, but they don't remove it, and they can't inspect the flue, find cracks or clear blockages. Treat them as a supplement between professional sweeps, not a replacement.

We serve all of Ne Atlanta, GA and nearby communities. If you are in or around Ne Atlanta, our team can schedule service quickly at your home or business.

Absolutely. We provide gas fireplace inspections, tune-ups, repairs (ignition, pilot, valves), glass cleaning, and insert services throughout Ne Atlanta, GA.
