Chimney Inspection & Upkeep in Roswell, GA

Chimney Inspection & Upkeep for Roswell Homeowners

Roswell marks the northern limit of our thirty miles, and it holds two quite separate categories of work. The historic district around Canton Street and Bulloch Hall contains antebellum homes with original masonry that needs genuinely specialist handling — lime mortar, hand-laid brick, and flues that have been altered several times over a century and a half. Then there is the large 1980s and 1990s housing stock through Martin's Landing and Horseshoe Bend, much of it near the Chattahoochee, where the damp river air adds a slow, persistent moisture load that masonry a mile inland does not deal with.

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.
