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 Norcross, GA
Most chimney work in Norcross falls between $189 and $375 for a standard sweep, with inspections starting around $149 and repairs varying by what the camera finds. The older homes near downtown Norcross are what make this market different from the suburbs around it: century-old brick chimneys, unlined flues, and decades of creosote that the humidity has turned sticky and acidic. If you’re looking for a chimney company that puts the price in writing before any work begins, call Ashby Chimney at (478) 796-8742.
Why Norcross Homes Are Different
Norcross has two distinct housing stocks, and they need different things from a chimney company. The historic district is full of Victorian and Craftsman homes with original masonry chimneys, many over 100 years old. These flues were built before modern code required liners, so a good number are still unlined brick. That matters because unlined chimneys allow heat and gases to migrate through mortar joints, and after decades of wood burning, we regularly find creosote layered so thick it narrows the flue opening by half.
The second stock is mid-century ranch and split-level homes and newer subdivisions, where chimneys are generally newer but were often built fast. Here the common problem is different: prefabricated flue systems reaching the end of their 20-to-30-year service life, or masonry that was skimped on the first time around. Norcross’s hot, humid summers and occasional freezing nights make all of it worse. Humidity keeps creosote damp and acidic, which eats at mortar, and freeze-thaw cycles pop loose bricks in older chimneys every winter.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Norcross Services
Most Norcross homeowners call us first for a sweep, then follow up with an inspection when the sweep turns up something worth a second look. Here is how each service works in this area.
Chimney Sweep in Norcross
A sweep in Norcross means more than running a brush up the flue. In older homes we are often removing creosote that has been accumulating since before the house had central heat, sometimes in layers thick enough to conceal old flue-fire damage. In newer homes we are usually clearing animal nests, leaves, and the fine soot that comes from gas logs. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and every sweep includes a basic visual check of the firebox and cap. For full details on what is included and what it costs, see our Chimney Sweep in Norcross page.
Chimney Inspection in Norcross
Given the age of the housing stock here, we recommend a camera inspection on any home in Norcross that has not had one in the past three years. The camera shows us mortar joints, liner condition, and any gaps behind the walls that a visual check cannot reach. Nothing gets recommended to you that we cannot show you on the screen. That is the only fair way to do it in a market where older chimneys hide real problems. See what is included at each level on the Chimney Inspection in Norcross page.
Fireplace Repair in Norcross
Repairs in Norcross range from simple mortar repointing in the firebox to full flue relining with HeatShield or a stainless system from Olympia Chimney. The fix that comes up most in this area is cracked or missing flue tiles in older chimneys, which cannot be repaired by patching from the firebox. We use professional-grade materials from chimney-trade suppliers, not whatever is cheapest at the home center. Every repair carries a written guarantee. Learn more on the Fireplace Repair in Norcross page.

FAQs About Chimney Company in Norcross
Most Norcross calls are scheduled within three to five business days. We do not promise same-day service for chimney work, because a proper sweep or inspection takes time to do right. Calls are answered by a live person 24/7, so you will get a real answer when you call, not a voicemail loop. Call (478) 796-8742 and we will give you the first available slot.
Some Norcross neighborhoods with active HOAs do require prior notice for exterior work like chimney caps or crown repairs. If your home is in a subdivision with a covenant, check your HOA packet before we arrive. Interior work like sweeps and inspections typically does not require approval. We will keep the job site clean either way.
That is a common question from Norcross homeowners in older houses. If the chimney has been used in the past year, start with a sweep and we will flag anything suspicious during the visual check. If the home is new to you, or the fireplace has been dormant for years, schedule an inspection so you know what you have before burning season. Call (478) 796-8742 and we will help you decide without pushing you toward a bigger job.

What Norcross 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."
