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.

If you’re noticing a smoky fireplace or haven’t had your flue checked in years, call (336) 863-3889 and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Why Norcross Homes Are Different
Norcross holds one of Gwinnett County’s oldest incorporated town cores. Old Town Norcross has homes dating to the 1870s – 1920s, and we regularly encounter original brick chimneys with lime mortar joints that have turned to powder and clay flue tiles cracked from decades of heating cycles. These aren’t problems you see as often in Duluth or Peachtree Corners. The surrounding subdivisions built during Gwinnett’s 1980s – 1990s growth boom are a different story: builder-grade prefabricated fireplaces now 30 – 45 years old, many past their rated service life. Rusted fireboxes, failed refractory panels, and dampers that no longer seal are common.
Norcross’s humid subtropical climate adds another layer. Fireplaces sit unused from March through October, and chimney swifts, a federally protected migratory bird, often nest inside unlined or damaged flues. We work around nesting seasons and verify clear flues before cleaning. The freeze-thaw cycles in Gwinnett County also accelerate spalling on older brick, especially in the historic district where moisture gets in and goes unnoticed until the damage is structural.
Our Main Norcross Services
Most Norcross homeowners call us for one of three reasons: a chimney that hasn’t been swept in years, a fireplace that won’t draw, or a gas unit that won’t light. Each service has its own page with local pricing and details.
Chimney Sweep in Norcross
A standard sweep in Norcross removes creosote, the tar-like buildup that causes chimney fires, along with soot, debris, and any animal nesting material. In Old Town Norcross, we often find stuccoed or painted chimneys where previous owners tried to modernize the exterior, masking deep mortar deterioration that only shows up on camera inspection. We document everything with photos so you can see exactly what’s inside your flue. Learn more about Chimney Sweep in Norcross.
Chimney Inspection in Norcross
Chimney inspections in Norcross give you a documented assessment of your flue, firebox, damper, and exterior masonry. In the historic district, we regularly find hidden open brick joints and spalling that homeowners can’t see from the ground. In newer subdivisions, inspections often reveal prefabricated fireplace components that have aged past their intended lifespan. Every inspection includes a camera review and a written report. See Chimney Inspection in Norcross for pricing and what’s included.
Gas Fireplace Repair in Norcross
Gas fireplace repair in Norcross covers failed pilot assemblies, thermocouples, burners, and remote controls on both vented and vent-free units. Many Norcross homes built in the 1980s and 1990s have gas fireplaces that were installed as secondary heat sources and have seen years of use without service. We carry professional trade brands like DuraFlex and HeatShield so repairs use the same materials chimney professionals specify. Details at Gas Fireplace Repair in Norcross.
