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 Dunwoody, GA
Chimney work in Dunwoody comes down to two things: heavy tree coverage and older masonry. The pine needles, leaves, and limbs that drop year-round from the city’s dense canopy find their way into flues faster than most homeowners expect, and many of the homes here were built between the 1970s and 1990s with original brick or stone chimneys that have been quietly aging for decades. We’re Ashby Chimney Atlanta, and we handle the sweeps, inspections, and repairs Dunwoody homeowners actually need. Call us at (678) 263-7908 for a written price before any work starts.
Why Dunwoody Homes Are Different
Dunwoody’s landscape shapes the work we do more than almost any other factor. The neighborhoods here sit under a thick tree canopy, and that means constant organic debris. Pine needles are small enough to slip through even a standard chimney cap, and once they settle inside a flue, they trap moisture and creosote against the walls. We pull more pine-needle blockages from Dunwoody chimneys than from most communities around Atlanta.
The housing stock adds another layer. Homes in Dunwoody North, Kingsley, and along Mount Vernon Road and Chamblee Dunwoody Road were largely built in the 1970s through the 1990s, and many still carry their original masonry chimneys. That means brick and stone that has absorbed decades of Georgia humidity, mortar joints that have eroded, and clay flue liners that have cracked under repeated heating and cooling. Creosote glaze builds up differently here because winters tend to be mild, meaning fires burn cooler and produce stickier deposits. Then summer humidity pushes moisture into the masonry, causing spalling and efflorescence that can further compromise the structure. Dunwoody chimneys need attention that accounts for all of it, not just the soot.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Dunwoody Services
Dunwoody homeowners call us most often for two things: getting a chimney cleaned before firing season, and figuring out whether an aging chimney is still safe to use. Here’s how each works locally.
Chimney Sweep in Dunwoody
A sweep in Dunwoody typically means clearing out pine needles, leaves, and creosote that have accumulated since the last burn season. We protect your floors from the front door to the hearth, use brushes sized to the flue, and leave the firebox cleaner than we found it. Older Dunwoody chimneys often have narrow flues from the 1970s that need specialized brush heads, especially in neighborhoods like Dunwoody North. We also check for animal nests, since the tree canopy gives squirrels and birds easy access to uncapped chimneys. See full details on Chimney Sweep in Dunwoody.
Chimney Inspection in Dunwoody
Inspection is how we catch problems before they become fires or carbon monoxide incidents. In Dunwoody, the big concerns are hidden: flue liner cracks behind walls, deteriorated mortar that lets water into the chimney chase, and creosote glaze that looks thin but burns hot. We inspect the accessible interior and exterior, document what we find with photos, and give you a written report that explains what needs attention now and what can wait. Dunwoody’s humid summers make spalling and brick deterioration common, so we look closely at the masonry, not just the flue. Full scope is on Chimney Inspection in Dunwoody.
Fireplace Repair in Dunwoody
Repair work in Dunwoody often comes down to age: cracked firebrick, failing dampers, deteriorated mortar joints, and flue liners that have to be replaced or resurfaced. We use materials from chimney-trade brands like HeatShield and Gelco so the repair matches the job. Before any repair we give you a written price and a written guarantee, and if a covered repair fails inside the guarantee period, we come back and fix it at no charge. That’s the 365-Day Done Right Promise. Details on Fireplace Repair in Dunwoody.

What Dunwoody Customers Say
"Had them sweep and check the chimney before we listed the house. Clean report, no soot anywhere, and the buyer's inspector had zero questions. Painless."
- Roland Pace"Good inspection and a clear writeup for our home sale. He was running behind from the job before and showed up near the end of the window, but he called ahead to let me know. Thorough once he got here."
- Frank DiMatteo"First time owning a house with a fireplace and I had no clue. The guy was patient, walked me through what's safe and what isn't, and didn't make me feel dumb. Priced it before he started."
