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.

Why Level Two Chimney Atlanta Is Roswell’s Preferred Fireplace Services Company
We’ve completed more than 38,000 chimney inspections and cleanings since 2009, and a significant share of those have been in Roswell’s 1980s and 1990s subdivisions. Our Fireplace Services in Roswell crews know the difference between a Heatilator, Superior, and Lennox factory-built unit before we step out of the van - because we’ve already pulled the manufacturer specs for your neighborhood’s build era.
Roswell customers leave reviews mentioning the same things: the technician texted when en route, showed up uniformed with a license number visible, and produced a written price before touching anything. That practice - written price, written scope, written warranty - is Clause 1 of the Haven Standard. No exceptions. We’ve also built a local reputation for honesty about what can wait. If your firebox panel shows hairline cracking but still meets manufacturer tolerance, we’ll document it, photograph it, and tell you to call us next season - not push unnecessary work.
Our 365-Day Done Right Promise applies to every Roswell job. If it’s not done right, we make it right. Stamped on every invoice.
Our Fireplace Services in Roswell
Gas Fireplace Service
Gas fireplaces in Roswell get used intermittently - enough to keep the pilot lit, not enough to notice when the thermopile weakens or the ember bed cracks. We service direct-vent and B-vent gas inserts common in Tines Valley and Willow Springs builds, testing gas pressure, inspecting the glass gasket, and verifying the shutoff valve operation. Most Roswell gas service calls run $180-$320. If your unit won’t stay lit or the remote’s acting up, it’s usually a $45-$85 thermocouple or a failed wall switch - we’ll name the part and show you the reading before we replace it.
Wood Burning Fireplace
Even occasional wood burning in Roswell generates creosote, though our Piedmont climate and mild use pattern means we rarely see Class III glazed buildup. What we do see: cracked refractory panels in factory-built units, rusted throat dampers from Chattahoochee humidity, and homeowners who assumed a “new” home meant a maintenance-free fireplace. A Level 2 inspection with camera scan - standard on every visit, Haven Standard Clause 4 - shows you exactly what your flue liner looks like from the inside. Wood-burning service and inspection in Roswell typically runs $280-$420.
Fireplace Insert
Inserts are where Roswell’s housing stock gets complicated. Many 1990s homes have factory-built fireplaces that were never designed for inserts; homeowners added them later without verifying clearance to combustibles or liner compatibility. We remove the insert, inspect the original firebox for heat damage, and verify the chimney liner is listed for the appliance. If you’re in Horseshoe Bend and considering an insert, we’ll measure your existing opening against the manufacturer’s zero-clearance specs before you buy. Insert-related service in Roswell ranges from $320 for inspection and reinstallation to $1,800-$3,400 if we need to drop a new stainless liner and reconnect properly.
Damper Repair
Damper failure in Roswell usually traces to one of two causes: rust from a leaking chase cover (common on western, riverside lots), or a homeowner who installed an off-brand cap that doesn’t seal to the prefab chase profile. We replace throat dampers with OEM or equivalent components from Gelco and Famco, and we install top-sealing dampers where the original throat damper is inaccessible. Damper repair runs $240-$480 in Roswell; if we find the chase cover is the root cause, we’ll show you the rust pattern on camera and quote both pieces.
Firebox Repair
Firebox panels in factory-built Roswell fireplaces crack from thermal cycling - heat up, cool down, repeat for 30 years. The panels are manufacturer-specific; a Heatilator panel won’t fit a Superior box. We source replacements through our Haven buying network, using HeatShield refractory coating where appropriate or factory panels where required. Firebox repair in Roswell runs $380-$720 depending on panel count and access. We won’t quote this without a camera inspection - Clause 4 requires it, and you need to see the crack before you authorize the fix.
Fireplace Conversion
Converting a wood-burning factory-built unit to gas in Roswell requires more than a log set. We verify the existing flue liner is listed for gas temperatures, check for proper combustion air, and ensure the termination cap matches the new appliance category. Conversions start around $1,200 for a basic direct-vent insert installation and run to $2,800 if we need to modify the chase cap or liner. We handle the gas line coordination with your plumber; we don’t touch gas piping ourselves.
BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in Roswell
We stock and source components from HeatShield, Gelco, Olympia Chimney, and Famco through the Haven buying network, which keeps prices honest and turnaround short. For Roswell’s factory-built fireplaces, that means we can often match a chase cover or firebox panel to your unit’s manufacturer without a two-week special order. We also carry HeatShield refractory coating for firebox resurfacing and Gelco stainless caps in standard prefab chase profiles. If your unit needs a part we don’t stock, we’ll tell you the lead time in writing before you commit - no surprises after we’re halfway through the job.
Common Fireplace Services Problems We See in Roswell Homes
- Rusted chase covers on 1980s-1990s subdivisions. The factory galvanized caps have reached end of life. Water enters the framed chase, rusts the metal flue liner, and stains the interior firebox panels. We diagnose this with a camera scan - you see the rust streaks yourself - and replace with a stainless cap that outlasts the original.
- Cracked firebox panels in “maintenance-free” factory units. Homeowners assume a 1995 fireplace is new enough to ignore. The refractory panels are rated for roughly 20 years of thermal cycling. We find hairline cracks that widen to full failures, sometimes with flames visible through the gap.
- Improper chimney caps installed by roofers or handymen. An off-brand cap that doesn’t match the prefab chase profile leaves a gap for water, or worse, gets installed during chimney swift nesting season. The birds are federally protected April through October; we routinely reschedule cap work and advise homeowners to wait out the nesting window.
- Spalling brick and failed crowns on older homes near Canton Street. The historic pocket around Mimosa Boulevard has chimneys that predate modern liner codes. Freeze-thaw and Piedmont humidity pop the brick face, and crown cracks let water straight to the flue. We document with photos and quote crown rebuild or liner installation as needed.

FAQs - Fireplace Services in Roswell
Yes, and especially because of when your home was built. Roswell’s 1990s subdivisions used factory-built zero-clearance fireplaces with metal flue liners rated for roughly 30-40 years. Your “barely used” fireplace has still undergone 30 years of thermal cycling, and the metal components don’t care how often you burned - they degrade from temperature swing and humidity exposure. We find cracked firebox panels and rusted chase covers in lightly used units more often than heavily used ones, because the homeowner never noticed early warning signs. A Level 2 camera inspection runs $280-$420 and gives you a documented baseline. Call (470) 435-7984 for a free estimate.
Because that’s what most of Roswell actually has. The 1980s-1990s build-out in Horseshoe Bend, Willow Springs, and Tines Valley installed prefabricated metal fireplace units inside framed, vinyl-clad chases - not traditional brick chimneys. These systems require manufacturer-specific parts, proper clearance to combustibles, and inspection techniques that differ from masonry work. Treating a factory-built unit like a brick chimney leads to wrong parts, missed clearance violations, and unsafe installations. We were called to a Horseshoe Bend home where the homeowner swore the fireplace was “only a few years old.” The unit was actually an original builder-grade factory-built insert with a rusted chase cover and a deteriorated firebox panel; we pulled the correct Olympia Chimney replacement cap and heat-rated components, repaired the firebox, and pulled a camera through the metal flue liner before returning it to service.
No. Sweeping without inspection is like changing oil without looking under the hood - you miss the problem that matters. Haven Standard Clause 4 requires a camera-scan inspection and documented photo record on every visit; we don’t sweep what we haven’t seen from the inside. In Roswell’s factory-built units, the sweep is often the smallest part of the service. The critical finding is usually firebox panel condition, flue liner integrity, or chase cover rust - none of which a brush reveals. The inspection is included; there’s no discount for skipping it. Call (470) 435-7984 to book.
We wait. Chimney swifts are federally protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, and it’s illegal to disturb an active nest between April and October. This is a recurring complication in Roswell, where dense tree canopy on wooded lots near Chattahoochee tributaries attracts nesting swifts to chimney structures. If we arrive for a cap installation and find active nesting, we’ll photograph the evidence, explain the law, and reschedule for November or later. We can inspect and service the fireplace itself during nesting season - we just can’t install a cap or otherwise block the flue. Some Roswell homeowners choose to schedule cap work in February or March to avoid the window entirely.
Yes, though the failure modes differ. A gas factory-built fireplace still has a metal flue liner, a firebox, and a chase cover that rusts. What we find in Roswell gas units: deteriorated ember beds, failed thermopiles, improper venting from DIY log-set installations, and rusted termination caps that restrict exhaust flow. The inspection protocol is the same - camera down the flue, written findings, written price before repair. Gas service runs $180-$320; if we find a venting or liner issue, we’ll show you the camera footage and quote the fix. Call (470) 435-7984 to schedule.
