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.

Marietta’s chimneys are not like Atlanta’s. The historic district around the Square holds antebellum and Victorian-era homes with original lime-mortar joints, multi-flue configurations, and clay tile liners that have often gone uninspected for decades. Meanwhile, the 1950s-1970s brick ranches blanketing Cobb County have clay tile flue liners reaching end-of-life with hairline cracks we catch on camera. Our crews are trained for both.
Why Marietta Homes Are Different
Marietta’s housing stock splits three ways, and each type carries distinct chimney risks. Near the Square, antebellum and Victorian-era homes - some 150 years old - feature multi-flue chimneys with original lime mortar and deep corbelled crowns. The lime mortar was never engineered for Georgia’s occasional winter ice events, which drive freeze-thaw stress into joints that have already endured a century and a half.
The 1950s-1970s brick ranch homes across Cobb County carry clay tile flue liners now cracking from thermal cycling. In East Cobb’s 1980s-90s traditional homes, gas-log inserts are often retrofitted into wood-burning fireplaces without confirming the original flue rating. Sweeps on Whitlock Avenue and Church Street regularly find exterior chimney stacks servicing two or three sealed flues from long-closed fireplaces - easy to miss if a technician scopes only the active hearth.
Marietta’s burn pattern compounds the problem. Mild winters mean episodic cold-snap burning rather than continuous use, so creosote from incomplete burns accumulates without the sustained heat that would naturally reduce it. That’s why we camera-scan every flue, active or not.

BeforeAfterChimney Cap & Crown in Marietta
Chimney caps and crowns in Marietta face a specific set of stresses: historic lime-mortar crowns on the Square absorb rain during Georgia’s sudden summer downpours, then crack in winter freeze-thaw cycles they’re not built for. East Cobb’s 1980s-90s homes often have poured concrete crowns with inadequate overhang, letting water run straight down the brick. Our Chimney Cap & Crown work starts with a camera inspection to assess what’s hidden, then specifies the right fix for the era.
Crown Repair
Signs you need it
Visible cracks in the crown surface, water staining on interior firebox walls, or pieces of concrete found in the firebox after storms.
What it costs in Marietta
Crown repair in Marietta typically ranges from $450 to $1,200 depending on whether we’re sealing hairline cracks or rebuilding a deteriorated crown on a historic multi-flue stack.
How we do it
We grind out damaged material, apply a bonding agent, and pour new crown concrete with proper slope and overhang, or apply HeatShield crown coating for minor cracking, then document with photos.
Cap Installation
Signs you need it
Water entry during rain, bird or squirrel nesting sounds, or rust streaks down the chimney face indicating no cap or a failed screen.
What it costs in Marietta
Standard single-flue cap installation runs $275-$550 in Marietta; multi-flue custom caps for historic homes near the Square range $650-$1,400.
How we do it
We measure the flue or crown footprint, fabricate or order the appropriate cap from our Haven buying network, and secure it with proper fasteners and sealant, then photo-document the fit.
What Chimney Cap & Crown Costs in Marietta
| Item | Typical range in Marietta |
|---|---|
| Crown repair (minor crack sealing) | $450 - $650 |
| Crown rebuild or coating | $800 - $1,200 |
| Single-flue cap installed | $275 - $550 |
| Multi-flue custom cap installed | $650 - $1,400 |
Can a cracked crown wait until next season?
Small hairline cracks can be sealed with coating, but water already entering the crown will freeze and expand, accelerating spalling brick and liner damage. We camera-inspect to show you the moisture path, then you decide.
Why are multi-flue caps more expensive in Marietta?
Historic homes near the Square often have irregular flue spacing and corbelled brick that requires custom fabrication and careful mounting to avoid damaging original masonry. We measure on-site and fabricate to fit.
Chimney Liner & Rebuild in Marietta
Chimney liner work in Marietta is driven by two realities: clay tile liners in 1950s-1970s ranch homes are cracking from decades of thermal cycling, and gas-log retrofits in East Cobb often vent into flues never rated for condensing gas appliances. Our Chimney Liner & Rebuild service confirms the flue condition with a camera scan before recommending any solution.
Stainless Steel Liner
Signs you need it
Visible clay tile fragments in the firebox, smoke odors when the fireplace isn’t in use, or a gas insert installed without liner verification.
What it costs in Marietta
Stainless steel liner installation in Marietta ranges from $2,800 to $4,500 for a standard single-flue system, with DuraFlex or Olympia Chimney materials.
How we do it
We measure the flue with a camera and laser, drop a properly sized flexible stainless liner, insulate per manufacturer spec, and connect to the appliance with a top plate and rain cap, then pressure-test and photo-document.
Partial Rebuild
Signs you need it
Leaning chimney stack, extensive spalling brick above the roofline, or separated mortar joints visible from the ground.
What it costs in Marietta
Partial rebuilds from the roof up in Marietta typically run $3,500 to $7,000 depending on height, scaffolding needs, and whether we match historic brick near the Square.
How we do it
We dismantle to sound masonry, salvage matching brick where possible, rebuild with proper bond and weep holes, and install a new crown with adequate slope and overhang, documented at each stage.
What Chimney Liner & Rebuild Costs in Marietta
| Item | Typical range in Marietta |
|---|---|
| Stainless steel liner (single flue) | $2,800 - $4,500 |
| Flexible liner with insulation | $3,200 - $5,000 |
| Partial rebuild (roof up) | $3,500 - $7,000 |
| Full chimney rebuild | $8,000 - $15,000 |
Does every gas insert need a new liner?
Not necessarily. We camera-inspect to verify the existing flue’s condition and diameter against the appliance’s venting requirements. If the clay tile is intact and properly sized, we document it and you’re done.
How long does a liner installation take?
Most single-flue stainless steel liners in Marietta are installed in one day; multi-flue historic homes may require two days for proper measurement and custom fabrication.
