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 homeowners call us when a chimney stops drafting, smells like last winter’s fires, or fails an inspection tied to a home sale. The work here swings between two extremes: original masonry chimneys on 1920s bungalows near the Square and factory-built metal chimneys in 1980s subdivisions like Indian Hills and East Cobb. Both need different tools, different training, and a written price before anyone climbs a ladder. Hadley Chimney Sweep serves all of Marietta with that model: tracked arrival, photo documentation, and a real person answering at (762) 249-4619 whenever you call.
Why Marietta Homes Are Different
Marietta’s housing stock spans roughly a century, and that changes everything about how we clean and repair chimneys. Homes around Whitlock Avenue and the historic districts near the Square often still have their original brick flues. Many are unlined or have clay tile liners that are now cracked and spalling. Those flues were built for coal and wood burning from a different era, and they’re often narrow, winding, and impossible to clean properly with a standard wire brush. We use rotary whip systems on those jobs because a standard brush simply won’t reach what needs to be removed.
Meanwhile, most homes built between 1970 and 1995 in neighborhoods like Terrell Mill, Powers Ferry, and Sandy Plains have prefabricated metal chimneys. These require different cleaning methods entirely – wire brushes damage them. They also hide problems differently: a leak usually starts at the metal chase top, not the masonry crown. Marietta’s humid subtropical climate adds another layer. Summer thunderstorms dump water that accelerates spalling on older brick, and freeze-thaw cycles in January and February widen hairline cracks into structural problems. Add in the dense pine and oak canopy across the city, and uncapped flues collect enough needles, leaves, and squirrel nests to block a draft entirely within a year or two.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Marietta Services
Most calls to our Marietta scheduling line start with one of these three services, each with its own dedicated page covering local pricing and what the job includes.
Chimney Sweep in Marietta
A sweep here means removing creosote (the flammable tar residue that builds up inside the flue) as well as whatever else Marietta’s trees and wildlife have deposited since the last cleaning. In uncapped flues we regularly pull out pine needles, oak leaves, and squirrel or bird nests. The humid climate makes creosote stickier and harder to remove than in drier regions, so we rely on rotary whip systems on masonry flues and poly brushes on factory-built chimneys. Every sweep ends with a camera inspection and photos you can actually see. If the flue needs more than a cleaning, you’ll know because we showed you, not because we told you to trust us. Full details and local pricing are on the Chimney Sweep in Marietta page.
Chimney Repair in Marietta
Marietta’s freeze-thaw winters beat up older brick chimneys. We see spalling (brick faces popping off), deteriorated mortar joints, cracked crowns, and rusted-out damper assemblies regularly, especially on homes near the downtown historic districts. On newer construction, the most common failures are leaking chase tops, flashing that’s pulled away from the roofline, and cracked flue tiles. Every repair starts with a camera inspection so you see the damage before we quote a fix. We work with HeatShield for resurfacing deteriorating flues and DuraFlex liners when a full reline is the right call, and every repair carries a written 365-day guarantee. Learn what we check and how we quote on the Chimney Repair in Marietta page.
Gas Fireplace Repair in Marietta
Gas fireplaces have their own failure patterns: thermocouples and thermopiles that wear out, valves that stick, pilot assemblies that refuse to stay lit, and glass that fogs from moisture intrusion. Many homes in Marietta’s newer subdivisions have direct-vent gas units that were installed in the 90s and early 2000s, and those are reaching the age where components fail. We diagnose and repair most brands, and because you get a written price before work starts, you’re never surprised by the cost of a new thermopile. The Gas Fireplace Repair in Marietta page covers what we fix, typical costs, and what photos you’ll receive after the visit.
