Chimney Service Sandy Springs, GA
A chimney is more than an escape path for smoke. It’s part of a ventilation system. Not only can soot and creosote stick to your chimney’s masonry and flue, other debris such as branches, leaves, and even wildlife, like squirrels and birds, can become stuck in your chimney, allowing smoke and carbon monoxide to enter your home. We can sweep your chimney to keep it operating efficiently and prevent it from becoming a health hazard to you and your family.

Answers to common questions from local homeowners appear below.
What Other Nearby Areas Do You Serve?
We proudly serve many communities throughout the area, including Dunwoody, Brookhaven, Roswell, Alpharetta and other North Atlanta neighborhoods. A centralized location means our technicians are available for reliable service with fast responses.
How Often Should I Schedule Chimney Cleaning?
The National Fire Protection Association recommends that you schedule an annual chimney inspection and cleaning as needed. If you regularly use your fireplace when it’s cool, we suggest an expert chimney cleaning each year before the heating season starts. Homeowners with woodburning fireplaces that they use more frequently should consider cleanings more often to prevent dangerous creosote buildup.
When Should I Call a Chimney Expert?
Watch for these warning signs that it’s time to call our Sandy Springs team for a chimney inspection:
- Crumbling mortar between bricks
- Missing or damaged chimney caps
- Water leaking in or around your fireplace
- White staining on the masonry, called efflorescence
- Smoke that doesn’t vent properly and enters your home instead
- Unusual odors, especially during humid weather
If you notice any of these issues, contact us promptly for a thorough evaluation to help prevent further damage or safety issues.
What’s the Difference Between Chimney Cleaning and Inspection?
While both services are key for safety, they have different purposes. Chimney cleaning, or sweeping, removes creosote, soot and debris that accumulate from regular use. This measure prevents chimney fires and ensures proper ventilation. A chimney inspection is a comprehensive assessment of your chimney’s structural condition, looking for cracks, liner damage, clearance issues and safety compliance. Most local homeowners benefit from scheduling both services together, since our technicians can identify potential problems during the cleaning process and address them before they become costly repairs.
