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.

We’ve cleaned and inspected more than 38,000 chimneys since 2009. Every one of them got a written price before the tech touched anything, and a photo record when the job was finished.

Fast, Local Chimney Cleaning & Sweep in Atlanta
Most Atlanta-area homeowners who call us before noon get scheduled the same day. We run routes across the metro seven days a week, so whether you’re in Decatur dealing with Creosote Removal you noticed over the holidays, or in Sandy Springs prepping a fireplace before the first cold snap, we can usually get there without a week-long wait.
Our technicians carry everything needed for our Chimney Cleaning & Sweep services and NFPA 211 Level 2 camera inspection on the truck. That means no “we’ll have to come back with the right equipment” situations. You get the cleaning, the camera scan down the flue liner, a plain-language explanation of what the camera found, and a written photo record – all in one visit.
Live phone support runs around the clock. If you smell smoke backing into the house at 9 p.m. on a Tuesday, call (470) 435-7984 and someone answers. We’ll walk you through what to check safely and schedule you as soon as possible.
What “Chimney Cleaning Near Me” Actually Means in Atlanta’s Market
Atlanta’s climate creates a specific creosote pattern that homeowners here should understand. Because winters are mild compared to the Northeast – temperatures regularly cycling between 30°F nights and 55°F afternoons from November through February – Atlanta Fireplace Cleaning needs often involve short, irregular burns rather than long sustained fires. Short, low-temperature burns produce more incomplete combustion, which accelerates Class II creosote buildup inside the flue liner. Class II creosote is that tar-like, flaky residue that’s harder to brush out than the dry, powdery Class I stage. In homes across East Point, North Druid Hills, and College Park, we routinely find Class II deposits in chimneys that owners assumed were fine because they “don’t use the fireplace that much.”
Older Atlanta neighborhoods present a separate issue: clay tile flue liners installed in the 1960s and 1970s that are now cracked or spalling (the word for when the tile surface flakes away under thermal stress). A spalled liner can allow combustion gases – including carbon monoxide – to migrate into living spaces. The Level 1 Inspection and camera-scan inspection we include on every visit is the only reliable way to see liner condition in the middle and upper sections of the flue. A flashlight look from the firebox mouth doesn’t get you there.
Atlanta’s clay soil also shifts more than most homeowners expect. The result, particularly in neighborhoods with mature tree canopy and older foundation work like Clarkston and North Atlanta, is mortar joint cracking at the chimney crown – the concrete or mortar cap at the top of the masonry stack. A cracked crown lets water in. Water inside masonry, through Atlanta’s freeze-thaw cycles, causes progressive structural damage that gets expensive fast. We document crown condition in writing on every visit so you have a baseline record.
BeforeAfterWhat’s Included in Every Level Two Cleaning
- Written price before work starts – Clause 1 of the Haven Standard. The number is on paper before anyone picks up a brush. No “we’ll see what’s in there and let you know.”
- NFPA 211 Level 2 camera-scan inspection – Camera goes down the flue liner so we can see what a flashlight can’t. We tell you what we found in plain terms: liner condition, creosote class, blockages, cracks.
- Full chimney sweep – Rotary brush system clears creosote from the firebox, smoke chamber, and flue. Drop cloths in, mess contained, house clean when we leave.
- Smoke chamber assessment – The smoke chamber (the funnel-shaped section above the firebox that narrows into the flue) is a common spot for mortar deterioration. We check it on camera and report what we see.
- Documented photo record – You receive a written photo record of the job: before and after, plus any deficiencies flagged with location and plain-language description. Haven Standard Clause 4, included as standard, not an add-on.
- 365-Day Done Right Promise – If the work isn’t right, we make it right. Written on every job.

Areas We Cover Near Atlanta
Level Two Chimney Co. runs regular routes across the Atlanta metro. We serve homeowners in Atlanta proper and the surrounding communities listed below. If you’re not sure whether we reach your address, call – we’ll tell you directly.
Our Chimney Cleaning & Sweep in Atlanta service covers the full city and extends into North Druid Hills, where older brick chimneys in the single-family home corridors frequently show crown damage and liner wear. We work regularly in Decatur, where post-war ranch homes and bungalows often have original clay tile liners that are now at or past their service life. Sandy Springs homeowners tend to call us before real estate transactions – camera documentation of liner condition has become a standard part of the home purchase process in that market.
East Point and College Park are also part of our regular coverage area. In College Park especially, we see a higher rate of smoke chamber mortar deterioration – likely due to the combination of older construction and the region’s soil movement patterns. Clarkston and North Atlanta round out the primary service zone. If you’re in any of these neighborhoods, same-day or next-day scheduling is almost always available.
Why “Near Me” Results Matter for Chimney Work
A sweep company that’s 45 minutes away with a full truck schedule won’t get to you the same day. A company with a local route that already passes through your part of Atlanta can. That’s the practical reason proximity matters – not brand loyalty, logistics.
It also matters for accountability. A company with a local physical presence and a named technician assigned to your job is easier to hold to a warranty than a regional dispatch operation that sends whoever’s available. Corrine Halstead runs this operation in Atlanta. When the 365-Day Done Right Promise is on your paperwork, there’s a named person behind it and a direct phone number that goes to a human.
Frequently Asked Questions
How fast can you get to my home in Atlanta?
Most Atlanta-area homeowners who call before noon are scheduled the same day. Demand increases from October through January, so earlier in the season you’ll have more flexibility on timing. We run routes across the metro seven days a week, and live phone support means you can call any time to check availability. Call (470) 435-7984 and we’ll give you the honest answer for your specific date and zip code.
Do you serve my neighborhood?
We cover Atlanta and the surrounding metro, including North Druid Hills, East Point, Decatur, North Atlanta, College Park, Clarkston, and Sandy Springs. If your address falls outside that zone, we’ll tell you on the call rather than book you and cancel later. Call (470) 435-7984 and give us your zip – we’ll confirm in under a minute.
How much does chimney cleaning cost in Atlanta?
A standard chimney sweep with a Level 1 inspection in Atlanta runs $179 – $249. Adding the NFPA 211 Level 2 camera inspection – which we recommend for any flue that hasn’t been documented in the last three years – brings that to $249 – $349. Class II creosote treatment adds $85 – $175 depending on buildup severity. Your written price is confirmed before any work begins, and it doesn’t change once you’ve agreed to it. Call (470) 435-7984 for your free written estimate.
Can I call after hours or on weekends?
Yes. Live phone support runs 24 hours a day, seven days a week – not a voicemail, not a web form. If you smell smoke entering the living space or notice something wrong with your fireplace at night, call (470) 435-7984. We’ll talk through what you’re seeing and schedule service as soon as possible. For anything that looks like an active flue fire or carbon monoxide concern, call 911 first – then call us.
What documentation do I get after the visit?
Every completed visit produces a written photo record: before-and-after images, camera footage from inside the flue liner, and a plain-language description of any deficiencies noted – location, condition, and what it means for the fireplace’s safe operation. This is Haven Standard Clause 4, included on every job. You’re not paying extra for it. The record is yours to keep, share with a real estate agent, or submit to an insurer.
Is it safe to clean a chimney myself?
Brushing light creosote from the firebox face is something homeowners can do safely. The flue liner, smoke chamber, and upper sections of the chimney are a different matter. Working on a roof or inserting equipment into a flue without understanding what you’re looking at carries real risk – both from falls and from dislodging debris that can block the flue or damage a liner you didn’t know was cracked. Class II and Class III creosote removal in particular requires specific chemical treatment and training. Have a qualified sweep handle anything beyond basic firebox maintenance.
