We’re not new to Dallas. We know the 1970s split-levels off Dallas Acworth Highway, the 1980s colonials near White Oak Park, and the early-2000s brick fronts in the subdivisions around Paulding County High. Those homes all have chimneys, and many of those chimneys have not been looked at in years. Our Chimney Inspection team works throughout Dallas and the surrounding Paulding County area, and we bring the same written-price, camera-verified approach to every single job.

Why Ashby Chimney Marietta Is Dallas’s Preferred Chimney Inspection Company

Nathan Corliss runs our operation the way a good inspector should: say what you found, show the footage, and put the recommendation in writing. Homeowners in Dallas call us because they’ve been burned before, by a technician who never showed up in Hiram, a price that doubled at the door in Acworth, or a liner that cracked again six weeks after it was “repaired.” We don’t play those games. Every inspection gets a written price before work starts, and every repair we do gets a written guarantee.

Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. When a Dallas homeowner books an inspection, they know exactly who’s walking through the door, and that person answers questions in plain English. We’ve worked in subdivisions all over Dallas, from The Park at Cedarcrest to homes off Macland Road near the Cobb County line. The most common thing we hear from Dallas customers is that nobody had ever shown them the inside of their own chimney before. We do, on every job.

We’re independently owned and operated under the Kingswell Guarantee, which means the promise we make is the promise we keep. In business since 2002, we’ve built our name on five things: say the price, show up in the window, leave it cleaner, put the guarantee in writing, and come back if it fails. That’s the Kingswell Way, and it’s how we work in Dallas every day.

Chimney Fire in Dallas

Chimney Fire is the term we use for a full inspection that catches the damage a standard visual walkthrough misses, and in Dallas it’s the single most requested service we offer for older masonry fireplaces. A chimney fire inspection in Dallas runs $249 – $489 depending on the flue count and whether we’re running a camera. If you’ve had a chimney fire in your Dallas home, or if you suspect one happened before you bought the place, this is the inspection you need, not the $99 special.

What the Camera Shows

We run a high-resolution camera down the flue and record the whole thing. You watch the footage with us. If there’s third-degree creosote, a cracked clay tile, or water damage pooled at the smoke shelf, you’ll see it on the screen, not just hear about it from a stranger in your living room.

When Dallas Homeowners Should Book This

After any chimney fire, before buying a home, or when your fireplace has not been inspected in more than three years while you’ve kept burning wood. In Dallas specifically, the humid summers and intermittent winter use mean creosote hardens into a glaze between seasons, so the “occasional” fire still warrants a real look.

Level 2 Chimney Inspection in Dallas

A Level 2 Chimney Inspection in Dallas is the inspection we recommend for any Dallas home built before 2000, any fireplace that vents a gas appliance, or any chimney with an unlined tile flue. This inspection runs $249 – $489 in Dallas and includes everything in a Level 1 plus a full video scan of the flue interior, the smoke chamber, and accessible portions of the exterior. It’s the standard for real estate transactions, and it’s the only way to know if a clay-tile liner from 1984 is still holding.

Existing Homes and Appliance Venting

Dallas has thousands of homes where a gas water heater or furnace vents into a masonry chimney that was originally built for wood. That’s a bad combination over time: the lower flue gas temperatures from gas appliances create acidic condensation that eats away at mortar joints and clay tiles. A Level 2 camera inspection is the only way to see that damage before flue gases start entering the home.

Real Estate Purchases

If you’re buying a home in Dallas, especially one of the older homes near downtown or in subdivisions built in the 1970s and 1980s, the bank and your insurance company will not ask about the chimney. You still should. A Level 2 inspection catches the cracked flue, the missing rain cap, and the deteriorated crown before they become your problem.

Trusted Brands We Service in Dallas

We repair and install with materials from companies the chimney trade actually respects. In Dallas, we stock and install HeatShield cerfractory flue sealant for deteriorated clay-tile liners, Gelco masonry repair products for crowns and wash planes, and Olympia Chimney stainless steel components for caps, dampers, and chase covers. When we quote a repair on a Dallas home, the materials come from these suppliers, not whatever happened to be on sale at the hardware store. That matters when the repair has to last through Paulding County’s humid summers and the freeze-thaw cycle of a Georgia winter.

Common Chimney Inspection Problems We See in Dallas Homes

• Missing rain caps: Summer thunderstorms in Paulding County dump water straight into open flues. That water mixes with creosote and forms a corrosive, tar-like glaze that a normal brush-and-vacuum sweep cannot remove. We see this in at least half the older Dallas chimneys we inspect.
• Cracked clay-tile liners: Homes built between the 1970s and 1990s often have original clay tiles that have cracked under decades of heat cycling and humid, cool winters. The cracks let flue gases and carbon monoxide enter wall cavities and living spaces undetected without a camera inspection.
• Spalling brick and deteriorated crowns: The humid subtropical climate in Dallas causes brick faces to absorb moisture, then crack and flake when temperatures swing. The crown, the concrete slab that caps the chimney top, is usually the first thing to fail. Water gets in, and the damage works downward.
• Water heaters venting into unlined masonry chases: Many Dallas homes have a gas water heater tapping into a flue that was never designed for that appliance. The acidic condensate eats mortar joints. We inspect this condition with the camera every time, because the homeowner cannot see it from outside.
