Expert Chimney Inspection in Chattahoochee Hills, GA

On request, yes - we run an in-flue camera and send you the clips. Every standard inspection includes still photos of the firebox, smoke chamber, liner, cap, and crown; a full video pass is available as a documentation add-on, especially useful when buying or selling.

A typical single-chimney inspection plus standard sweep runs 1.5 to 3 hours. Heavy-creosote deep sweeps, multi-chimney homes, and inspection-plus-repair visits can take longer. We give you a window when we book.

Where we list it on a page, yes - CSIA certification is the industry standard for chimney sweeps and we carry it where required. We're licensed where required and fully insured, with a certificate of insurance available before the visit. Ask us when you book your Chattahoochee Hills job.

Yes - raccoons, squirrels, birds, and wasps are the main four. Standard scope: live removal where possible, sweep and sanitize the affected flue and firebox, then install a properly screened cap to block re-entry. We don't work active wasp colonies until they're treated.

Off-season creosote smell usually means humid air is hitting buildup inside the flue and releasing odor down through the damper. The fix is a thorough sweep, a flue deodorizer, and a top-sealing damper. Chattahoochee Hills homes get this call regularly in humid shoulder season.

Stop using the fireplace and call us. A gas smell points to an incomplete burn or a fitting leak - either is a safety issue. We inspect the burner, pilot, gas valve, vent path, and the chimney for downdraft, and hand off to the gas company if the leak is on the utility side of the meter.
