Reliable Chimney Repair in Brookhaven, GA

No. The $89 inspection is the actual price for a single-chimney inspection on a standard home. Any sweep, cap, crown, liner, damper, or masonry work is quoted and approved by you before the tech starts. No surprise charges, no doorstep rewrites.

Yes — over the phone or by message. Tell us your Brookhaven ZIP, whether the fireplace is gas or wood, when it was last used, and any specific issue, and we'll give you a firm range. The $89 only applies if we send a technician out for a physical inspection.

Yes, and it's one of our most common calls. Years of disuse means animals may have moved in, the cap or crown may have failed, the damper may be seized, and old creosote can have hardened. Don't light it cold — book the $89 inspection and the fee credits toward anything we have to fix.

Common signs: smoke coming back into the room when the fireplace is on, a dark sticky buildup in the flue, animal sounds or droppings in the firebox, water staining around the chimney, a damper that won't open or close cleanly, and last winter's smell lingering year-round. Any one is worth an inspection.

Yes. Gas fireplaces make less creosote than wood but still need a yearly safety check of the vent path, burner, pilot, gas connections, glass-front seal, and chimney cap. Brookhaven customers who report a gas smell when the fireplace runs almost always traced it to a skipped yearly service.
