Near the square: real age
The older Marietta houses have masonry stacks with the problems age brings — liners that have cracked, crowns long past their service life, mortar joints opening up. All of it repairable, none of it visible from inside.
Marietta runs from genuinely old housing near the square out to big mid-century and newer neighbourhoods, with about half the city built between 1960 and 1989. So the honest answer to what is wrong with your chimney is that it depends on which Marietta you live in — and we look before we say.

About 5 in 10 homes in Marietta went up between 1960 and 1989 (U.S. Census, 2020–2024), and that single fact decides what is likely wrong with yours.

Half of Marietta went up between the sixties and the eighties. Those chimneys are sound and lined, and what fails is the crown, the cap and the flashing. That is most of what we fix here.
Four in ten Marietta homes are from 1990 onward, and many of those have a factory-built firebox in a framed chase rather than brick. Different parts, different inspection, different price.
We work out which of the three you have on the free inspection, and you get a flat written price before anyone touches anything.
Also useful: how we sweep a chimney and everything we repair.
One visit covers the full flue, the firebox and everything on the roof — and you get a written free quote for any repair we find.
Chimney work isn’t one-size-fits-all. A single-storey flue that gets used twice a winter is a different job from a two-storey stack with a season of creosote on it.
So rather than advertise a number that changes the moment we arrive, we look at your actual chimney and give you a free estimate in writing — then you decide.
Most chimney problems start small and cheap. Left alone through a few Georgia winters, they stop being either.
The concrete slab on top takes the weather first. Hairline cracks let water in, and freeze-thaw cycles widen them until the masonry starts coming apart. We reseal before that happens.
A missing or rusted-through cap is an open invitation for rain, leaves, squirrels and birds. A new stainless cap keeps all of it out and lasts for years.
The liner is what keeps heat and combustion gases inside the flue instead of in your walls. If we find cracks or gaps, we'll show you and explain the options plainly.

The things people ask us most before booking.
It comes down to the height of the stack, the type of flue and how much has built up since the last sweep — and in Marietta those vary a lot from one neighbourhood to the next. That is why we start with a free inspection and give you a flat written price before any work begins. No trip fee, and no charge if you decide not to go ahead.
Often it is brick on the outside and not brick where it counts. A lot of Marietta homes from that period have a steel firebox and an insulated metal flue inside a chase finished with brick veneer. It is serviced differently and takes parts matched to the manufacturer, so it is worth knowing which you have.
It depends on the height of the chimney, the type of flue and how much creosote has built up since the last sweep. That's why we start with a free estimate — we look at your actual chimney and give you a flat written price before any work starts. No trip fee, no surprises.
Once a year if you use your fireplace regularly, and always before the first burn of the season. Even a lightly used chimney should be inspected annually — animals nest in open flues over summer, and crown cracks don't announce themselves.
No. We seal off the fireplace opening and run our vacuum the whole time we work, so the soot goes into our equipment rather than onto your floor. We leave the hearth cleaner than we found it.
