Chimney Liner & Cap Installation 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.

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.
