Your chimney removes smoke and gases from your home each time you use your fireplace. Over time, creosote coats the flue walls, cracks form in the masonry and blockages develop. These problems create fire hazards. 

Smoke Alert brings firefighter expertise to every chimney service in Sandy Springs and the greater Atlanta area, helping homeowners maintain safe, functional fireplaces.

Chimney Sweeping in Sandy Springs

Every wood fire produces creosote. It’s unavoidable. The problem is that creosote is highly flammable, and when it builds up enough, a single spark can ignite it and cause a chimney fire. That’s why regular sweeping is important.

Our CSIA-certified chimney sweep service removes all that buildup with a power-sweep system. It’s more effective than old-fashioned hand sweeping and won’t leave any mess in your house.

We clean the entire system, which means we:

  • Remove all creosote from the flue liner.
  • Clear debris and blockages from the smoke chamber.
  • Inspect the cap and crown for damage.
  • Check the function of the damper.
  • Clean out the firebox.

If you use your fireplace regularly, plan to have it swept at least once a year. Even occasional use can create enough creosote to need professional cleaning.

Chimney Inspection 

When you call us for cleaning services, we include a full chimney inspection for your Sandy Springs home. We check the firebox, damper, smoke chamber, flue, liner and cap. We’ll identify and report any cracks, gaps or structural problems that could affect how your chimney works.

Common issues we find include:

  • Cracked or missing mortar between bricks.
  • Damaged or deteriorating flue liners.
  • Broken or missing chimney caps.
  • Water damage from leaks in the crown or flashing.
  • Blockages like bird nests or fallen branches.

If something needs fixing, we’ll explain what we found and your options.
