Why Flint Chimney Co Alpharetta Is Roswell’s Preferred Chimney Inspection Company

We work in Roswell every week, and the homes here are not like the rest of metro Atlanta. The antebellum brick chimneys near the town square were built with handmade brick and lime mortar that standard chimney tools can damage. The 1980s homes off Crabapple Road and along Hardscrabble Road were built tight, which changes how a chimney drafts. Our Chimney Inspection team knows the difference before we set foot on the roof.

Hank Delano runs our operation. He’s built the company around a simple rule: the price we quote is the price you pay, written down before any work begins. Every inspection we do in Roswell follows the Garrison Standard, the same code every Garrison Partners location follows. That means background-checked, uniformed technicians, a written report with photos, and a real person answering the phone when you call, 24 hours a day.

Roswell homeowners tell us the same thing over and over: another chimney company either didn’t show up, changed the price at the door, or left ash dust across the living room. We don’t operate that way. Since 2002, as part of the Garrison Partners family, we’ve built our reputation on showing up inside the window we gave you and putting the scope of work in writing first.

Level 2 Chimney Inspection in Roswell

A Level 2 Chimney Inspection in Roswell is the right call when you’re buying a home, after a chimney fire, after a storm, or when your system hasn’t been checked in years. It costs $299 to $449 in the Roswell market and includes a video camera scan of the entire flue interior. If we’re inspecting an attached home in Roswell with a shared chimney stack, the camera work matters even more because your flue may sit directly beside a neighbor’s flue inside the same masonry structure.

What the Camera Finds

We run a camera up the flue and watch every joint, every clay tile section, every seam. The camera finds cracked flue tiles, gaps in mortar joints, and hidden creosote glaze that no brush ever touches. In a shared stack, we look specifically for cross-contamination: a neighbor’s gas appliance venting into your flue can push carbon monoxide or condensation into your home, and you’d never know it without a camera.

When Roswell Homeowners Should Book One

If you’re closing on a house in the Historic District, a Level 2 is what real estate agents and home inspectors request most often. If you’ve owned your Roswell home longer than five years and burned wood regularly, schedule one before the next burning season. The report you get shows exactly what the camera saw, so you’re not trusting a verbal summary.

Chimney Leak in Roswell

A Chimney Leak in Roswell usually comes down to three things: flashing failure, crown cracks, or masonry spalling that lets water into the brick itself. The inspection to find the source costs $199 to $299 depending on roof access and whether we need to remove the chimney cap to inspect underneath. Roswell’s summer humidity accelerates the problem, because old brick chimneys absorb moisture and then show it as efflorescence, the white staining you see on the brick face.

Flashing on Attached Homes

Attached homes in Roswell share a roofline, which means a leak that shows up in your living room might be coming from flashing that belongs to the neighbor’s side of the stack. That’s not a reason to wait. We inspect the full chimney top and the roofline around it, and we’ll tell you in writing whether the leak source is on your side, shared, or coming from a crown crack that will only get worse in the next heavy rain.

Repair Before Season

Once we find the leak, the repair carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise: a written guarantee valid for a full year, and if it fails inside that year, we come back at no charge. No argument, no call-back fee. In Roswell, we typically recommend addressing chimney leaks before the fall burning season, because the expansion from heat stress makes small cracks bigger fast.

Trusted Brands We Service in Roswell

We install and stock parts from manufacturers you can verify independently. For Roswell homes with deteriorating flue liners, we specify HeatShield resurfacing because it handles high heat and seals cracked sections without a full rebuild. For leak repair and crown work, we use Gelco and Olympia Chimney products because they stand up to the freeze-thaw and humidity swings we get in north Georgia. If a Famco cap is the right fit, we’ll say so. We don’t push one brand; we pick the material that matches the job and put it in writing on your estimate.

Common Chimney Inspection Problems We See in Roswell Homes

• Third-degree creosote in wood-burning fireplaces: Roswell’s humid subtropical climate means fires burn with more moisture in the air, and that produces heavier creosote buildup than drier climates. Glaze-level creosote needs chemical treatment or mechanical removal, not just brushing.
• Soft-brick spalling in Historic District chimneys: Handmade bricks from the 1840s were fired at lower temperatures and are much softer than modern brick. Standard wire brushes and acidic chimney cleaners erode them, and the damage looks like age when it’s actually tool damage.
• Backdrafting in 1980s-era homes: Homes built tight in subdivisions off Woodstock Road and Eves Road often have negative pressure that pulls smoke back down the chimney. The damper area shows a ‘smoky ghost’ stain, and we check for make-up air before calling it a chimney problem.
• Missing or damaged flue caps on prefabricated chimneys: The 1970s and 1980s Roswell housing stock with factory-built metal chimneys often has cracked or absent chase covers. That lets rain in all summer, and the first fire of the season pushes trapped moisture back into the house as a weak draft and an unmistakable damp smell.

In Roswell’s Historic District near Canton Street, our crew inspected an original 1840s chimney with handmade bricks and lime mortar. We found a deteriorating clay flue liner and third-degree creosote glaze the homeowner’s previous brush-only cleaning had missed. We recommended a Level 2 inspection with video scanning, then performed soft-brick-safe cleaning and repointing before installing a Gelco chimney cap to keep out the summer humidity that was causing spalling.
