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.

AfterChimney Company in Roswell, GA
Chimney work in Roswell looks different from what most sweep companies expect. The homes east of GA-400 that went up during the 1980s and 1990s building boom were framed around prefabricated fireplace units, sometimes two or three per house, and those zero-clearance fireboxes are now reaching the end of their lifespan. Add in a dense tree canopy and the Chattahoochee river corridor, and you get a specific combination: aging factory-built systems, wildlife pressure, and moisture that doesn’t dry out the way it does in more open neighborhoods. If your chimney hasn’t been looked at in a few years, call us at (336) 863-3889. We’ll tell you exactly who’s coming to your door and what they’ll find.
Why Roswell Homes Are Different
The executive-home subdivisions built east of GA-400 in the 1980s and 1990s, places like Willow Springs, Martins Landing, and subdivisions along Holcomb Bridge Road, were designed with showpiece fireplaces more than working heating systems. A single house might have two or even three zero-clearance units, and those fireboxes were built for a 20 to 25 year service life. Most are now 30 to 40 years old. On service calls in these neighborhoods, we routinely find cracked refractory panels, door gaskets that have dried out, and damper seals that no longer close tightly. It’s not that the original installers did anything wrong, it’s that these units simply weren’t built to last this long.
The historic district around Canton Street and Mimosa Boulevard is a different situation entirely. Many of those homes have genuine masonry chimneys from the antebellum and late-Victorian eras, and some of the original flues were built without clay liners. Those chimneys need a completely different inspection approach, one that accounts for lime mortar, old brick spalling, and decades of creosote absorbed into porous masonry. A sweep who treats a 1900s masonry chimney the same as a 1990s prefab won’t catch the problems that matter.
Climate plays a role too. Roswell sits far enough north in the Georgia Piedmont that January nights drop into the upper 20s with regularity, so people here actually burn fires through the winter rather than lighting one for Christmas morning and calling it a season. That seasonal burning builds creosote, the tar-like residue that causes chimney fires, faster than it accumulates in Atlanta proper. The tree canopy compounds it. Roswell carries a long-standing Tree City USA designation for good reason, and those trees shade chimneys, slow flue drying after rain, and make nesting wildlife a constant presence.
Our Main Roswell Services
Most Roswell homeowners call us for one of three things: a sweep to clear out creosote and debris, an inspection to figure out whether an aging prefab or masonry chimney is still safe, or a gas fireplace that won’t light or won’t stay lit. Here’s what each looks like in Roswell.
Chimney Sweep in Roswell
A proper sweep in Roswell means more than running a brush up the flue. With the tree canopy as dense as it is here, we routinely find squirrel and raccoon nests built directly on top of uncapped prefab flues, especially along the Chattahoochee corridor and in older subdivisions where builders skipped caps to save money. Those nests block drafting and can push carbon monoxide back into the house. We remove the debris, brush the full flue length, and let you know if the cap situation needs attention. Full details on our Chimney Sweep in Roswell page.
Chimney Inspection in Roswell
Because so many Roswell fireplaces are factory-built units from the 1980s and 1990s, our inspections focus heavily on the places prefab units fail first: refractory panels, door gaskets, and termination caps. On masonry chimneys in the historic district, we check mortar joints, liner condition, and any sign that decades of moisture have worked into the brick. Every inspection comes with a written report and photos so you can see what we see. Chimney Inspection in Roswell covers what’s included and what it costs.
Gas Fireplace Repair in Roswell
Gas fireplaces in Roswell tend to sit unused from April through October, so when cold weather arrives, we see a predictable batch of pilot lights that won’t stay lit, thermocouples that have failed, and gas valves that won’t open. In subdivisions with multiple fireplaces per home, it’s common for one unit to work while another doesn’t. We carry replacement parts for the major brands and can usually diagnose the problem on the first visit. See Gas Fireplace Repair in Roswell for specifics.

Prices in Roswell shift with what the house was built with.

Whatever the scope, you get a written price before we start, and we don’t add charges at the end of the job.

"Water was leaking around the flashing. They resealed it and installed a new crown coating. Dry through two heavy rains since."
- Douglas P."Fast and tidy. Fireplace draws properly again."
- Mina K."Good chimney cleaning. They found a small gap in the mortar and quoted the repair, which was a bit more than I wanted to spend. Did the sweep and left the repair for later without any pressure."
