Chimney Inspection & Upkeep for Brookhaven Homeowners

Brookhaven is in the middle of a long rebuild, and it shows in the work. Ashford Park, Drew Valley and Brookhaven Fields still hold plenty of original 1940s and 1950s ranch housing with simple masonry chimneys, while alongside them are new houses on the same streets with sealed gas appliances and direct-vent systems that have nothing in common with a traditional flue. We end up doing genuinely different jobs two doors apart. The historic Brookhaven end adds a third category: substantial older homes around the club with tall multi-flue stacks that need proper masonry attention.

An inspection is the only part of chimney work that produces evidence rather than an opinion. A Level 1 covers everything readily accessible and is what an annual check normally means. A Level 2 adds a camera run through the full length of the flue and is what you want whenever something has changed — a property sale, a new appliance, a chimney fire, an earthquake or a storm. In Atlanta the sale case comes up constantly, because the housing stock intown is old enough that lenders and buyers' agents ask, and the answer needs to be a document with photographs in it rather than a verbal assurance from the seller.
