Chimney Liner & Cap Installation for East Point Homeowners

East Point is the closest city to our base, and we are there constantly. The housing runs from 1920s cottages around Historic College Town through post-war building in Jefferson Park and Colonial Hills, and a great deal of it has changed hands recently as buyers priced out of intown moved south. That turnover is why so many of our East Point calls are inspections rather than sweeps: someone has bought a house with a fireplace nobody has used in a decade and wants to know whether it is safe before they light it. Frequently the answer involves a crown that has been quietly failing for years.

1920s cottages and post-war housing with high recent turnover; deferred crown and flashing maintenance is the common finding.

The liner is what stands between the fire and the timber frame of your house. Plenty of intown Atlanta bungalows were built with no liner at all — just brick — and plenty more still carry the original clay tiles, which crack when they are heated unevenly and open a path for heat and flue gases into the surrounding structure. A stainless liner sized to the appliance solves that permanently, and it usually improves the draft as a side effect, because most old flues are far larger than what a modern insert or gas appliance actually wants. The cap is the cheaper end of the same principle: an open flue is an invitation to rain, leaves and every nesting bird in the neighbourhood.
