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 Marietta, GA
Marietta’s chimneys tell the story of the city itself: antebellum brickwork near the Square, mid-century ranches with clay tile liners, and newer East Cobb homes with factory-built metal flues. Each one ages differently, and each one needs a different kind of attention. We’re Ashby Chimney Marietta, an independently owned and operated chimney company under the Kingswell Guarantee. Nathan Corliss leads our crews, and our work here comes with a written price before anything starts and a written guarantee when it’s done. Call us at (478) 796-8742 and a live person answers, day or night.
Why Marietta Homes Are Different
Marietta’s humid subtropical climate means chimneys here face a specific set of problems. Winters are mild but punctuated by cold snaps that send people to their fireplaces for a few nights at a time. Those low, smoky fires burn cool and build creosote faster than a hot, consistent burn would. Add in high humidity and frequent rain, and you get rusted dampers, corroded chimney caps, and efflorescence blooming across brick faces. Spring and fall are when most Marietta homeowners schedule chimney cleaning: before the first cold snap, and after a season of occasional use has left deposits behind.
The housing stock compounds it. Marietta has thousands of 1950s-70s brick ranches with original clay tile liners that are now six or seven decades old. Those tiles crack, and cracked tiles let heat and gases reach the wood framing. Around the historic downtown square, pre-1900 homes often have unlined flues or original brick that was never meant to handle modern fireplace temperatures. And in neighborhoods like Whitlock Avenue and Church Street, chimneys sometimes share a common wall with the neighboring house. That row-house layout creates access challenges and shared flue questions you won’t find in newer subdivisions.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Marietta Services
Most Marietta homeowners call us for two things: a chimney sweep before burning season, and a chimney inspection when they’ve just bought a home or suspect something’s wrong after years of deferred maintenance.
Chimney Sweep in Marietta
A proper Chimney Sweep in Marietta starts with the age and type of your flue. Older masonry chimneys around the Square often have decades of creosote layered onto brick that needs gentler tools and a methodical pace. Prefab metal chimneys in East Cobb subdivisions need different brushes entirely, and using the wrong one scores the metal and voids the manufacturer’s warranty. We bring the right equipment for your specific setup, and we leave the firebox and hearth cleaner than we found them. That’s part of how we work: the price is written down before we start, and you see the flue condition in photos before we recommend anything.
Chimney Inspection in Marietta
Humidity is the quiet enemy in Marietta chimneys. A Chimney Inspection in Marietta checks for rust on dampers, water intrusion through cracked crowns, and spalling brick that signals moisture has been working its way in for years. We use cameras to show you exactly what we see, because you shouldn’t have to take anyone’s word for it. If we find a liner that’s cracked or a damper that’s seized, we show you the photo and explain plainly whether it needs attention now or can wait. No scare tactics, no pressure. Just straight answers backed by images you can look at yourself.
Fireplace Repair in Marietta
When a fireplace needs real work, Marietta homeowners want to know the repair will last. A Fireplace Repair in Marietta with us means the work is done with materials from established chimney-trade brands like DuraFlex and HeatShield, and it’s covered by a written guarantee. If a covered repair fails inside the guarantee period, we come back and fix it at no charge. That’s the 365-Day Done Right Promise, and it’s not an add-on. It’s how every job works.

What Marietta Customers Say
"Smoke kept rolling back into the living room every time we lit a fire. Turned out the cap was half blocked with a bird's nest. He cleared it and explained why it was happening. Fire draws perfectly now."
- Megan Alvarez"First time owning a house with a fireplace and I had no clue. The guy was patient, walked me through what's safe and what isn't, and didn't make me feel dumb. Priced it before he started."
- Yolanda Reese"The amount of creosote they pulled out was scary. He said we were overdue and explained the fire risk without being dramatic about it. Clean, careful, left the hearth spotless."
