Chimney sweep logs do not sweep chimneys. They loosen some creosote - which then falls where a brush and vacuum still have to collect it.
Chimney Company in Dunwoody, GA
We’re Flint Chimney Sweep, a chimney company serving Dunwoody, GA with three services: chimney sweep, chimney inspection, and chimney repair. Dunwoody jobs tend to involve large two-story brick and stone homes with tall chimneys on wooded lots, which means we’re usually dealing with creosote buildup from regular fireplace use and moisture that works into aging mortar. If you need a chimney company in Dunwoody, call (762) 600-1468 and we’ll give you a written price before any work starts.
Why Dunwoody Homes Are Different
Dunwoody’s housing stock was mostly built between the 1970s and early 2000s, and a lot of it is traditional masonry construction. That means brick and stone fireplaces, clay tile flue liners, and mortar joints that have been through forty to fifty Atlanta summers and winters. The humid, wet climate does real work on that masonry. Water gets into hairline cracks, freezes during the sudden cold snaps Dunwoody gets in January and February, and widens them. We see moss on chimney crowns and brick faces more here than in drier parts of the metro, and moss traps moisture against the masonry year-round.
The tree canopy is another factor. Dunwoody has heavy tree cover, and pine needles, leaves, and wind-blown debris end up on roofs and in chimneys. A chimney cap that isn’t fitted properly or is missing altogether lets that debris fall straight down the flue. On older colonials, we also run into shallow smoke shelves and narrow flues, which accumulate creosote faster and draft poorly when temperatures swing. All of that means annual cleaning and inspection are not formalities here, they’re how you keep a Dunwoody fireplace safe to use.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Dunwoody Services
The three services Dunwoody homeowners call us about most are chimney sweeping, chimney inspection, and chimney repair. Each has its own page with pricing and specifics, linked below.
Chimney Sweep in Dunwoody
A chimney sweep in Dunwoody is about more than brushing out soot. We remove creosote from the flue walls, clear the smoke shelf and firebox, and check the damper for smooth operation while we’re in there. On Dunwoody’s wooded lots, we routinely pull pine needles and leaf debris out of chimneys that don’t have a proper cap. High-tension spring and cable systems in fireplace dampers are dangerous to work around, so this is not a DIY job. We recommend a professional with the right equipment and a written guarantee. See the full breakdown on our Chimney Sweep in Dunwoody page.
Chimney Inspection in Dunwoody
Chimney inspection in Dunwoody is how you catch hidden deterioration in a 30- or 40-year-old masonry chimney before it becomes a repair bill. We use a camera to look inside the flue, check the exterior masonry and crown, and verify that the chimney still drafts correctly. Because Dunwoody’s humid climate accelerates mortar breakdown, we flag small spalling and hairline cracks early, when they’re affordable to address. If a home inspector flagged a chimney before a sale, this is the service that gives you the facts in writing. Details are on our Chimney Inspection in Dunwoody page.
Chimney Repair in Dunwoody
Chimney repair in Dunwoody usually involves repointing deteriorated mortar joints, rebuilding damaged crowns, replacing warped dampers, or installing a flue liner when the original clay tile is cracked. Moisture is the common thread here, and Dunwoody’s wet seasons accelerate every problem it starts. Every repair we make carries a written one-year guarantee through our 365-Day Done Right Promise. If a covered repair fails within that year, we return at no charge. See what’s covered on our Chimney Repair in Dunwoody page.

AfterPricing for Chimney Company in Dunwoody, GA
| Service | Typical range in Dunwoody |
|---|---|
| Standard chimney sweep (accessible flue, wood-burning fireplace) | $180 – $340 |
| Chimney sweep with heavy creosote buildup (Glazed Creosote 3rd degree) | $350 – $650 |
| Chimney inspection (Level 1, visual) | $150 – $250 |
| Chimney inspection (Level 2, camera) | $250 – $450 |
| Flue relining (replacing the inner liner that channels smoke safely out) | $2,500 – $5,000 |

| Chimney crown repair or rebuild | $800 – $2,000 |
| Masonry repointing (per wall face) | $450 – $1,200 |
What pushes a Dunwoody price toward the top of these ranges is access, tall chimneys on two-story homes require more setup and safety equipment, and the condition of the flue. Heavy third-degree creosote takes longer to remove safely than a light annual buildup. Every estimate is a written price delivered before any work starts, and the number on the invoice is the number you approved.
