Why Ignacio M. Chimney Inc

Built on Trust & Craftsmanship

When you bought your first Atlanta home, you probably didn’t realize a chimney needs its own maintenance schedule just like the HVAC or roof. Creosote builds up invisibly every burn season, and by the time you smell a campfire scent indoors or notice smoke drifting back toward the living room, the layer may already be thick enough to spark a chimney fire. We walk first-time owners through what that black, tarry buildup really is, why a ¼-inch layer can turn a cozy evening into a 3 a.m. call to the fire department, and exactly how our rotary brushes and HEPA vacuums leave your flue cleaner than when the house was built. No upsells, no scare tactics—just the fundamentals you wish your home inspector had spelled out before closing day.

"I bought a 1920s bungalow and had no idea the chimney was a fire hazard. Ignacio’s team cleaned it thoroughly, found a cracked flue liner, and fixed it the same day. Their pricing was fair, and they explained everything in plain English—no salesy nonsense."

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a Level 2 chimney inspection cost for a typical Atlanta bungalow built in 1950?

A Level 2 inspection for a 1950s Atlanta bungalow runs $185–$225. We include a drone fly-through of the flue if the roof pitch is steep, plus infrared moisture readings and a printed report you can share with your home inspector or insurance company.

Can I burn pine logs in my Buckhead fireplace after a chimney sweep, or do I need to wait?

You can light a fire immediately after we finish; we leave the flue cleaner and safer than before. Just avoid burning pine or any resinous wood for the first burn to let residual creosote cure fully—regular oak or hardwood is fine right away.

Why does my Decatur chimney smell like campfire even after a sweep? Is the sweep incomplete?

The odor usually comes from creosote trapped in the smoke shelf or masonry voids, not the flue walls. We vacuum the smoke shelf, apply a citrus-based deodorizer, and seal any loose mortar joints so the smell fades within 24–48 hours.

How long does a chimney sweep appointment take for a two-story Atlanta home in Midtown?

A standard sweep for a two-story Midtown home takes 60–90 minutes. If we add a Level 2 inspection with drone footage and infrared scans, budget 2–2.5 hours total.

What’s the difference between a Level 1 and Level 2 chimney inspection in terms of Atlanta code compliance?

Level 1 covers the accessible flue and appliance; Level 2 adds a video scan and a thorough attic-to-crown walk-through required by Atlanta’s 2021 fuel-gas code after any chimney fire, relining, or property transfer.

If I just bought a 1980s Dunwoody split-level, how soon should I schedule a chimney sweep before the first burn?

Schedule within the first two weeks of closing. Older Dunwoody homes often have offset flues that trap creosote, and a quick sweep now prevents a smoky first fire and gives us baseline photos for future comparisons.

Does Ignacio M. Chimney Inc. handle chase-cover rust repairs on a Peachtree Hills brick chimney, or do I need a roofer?

We replace rusted chase covers and install new stainless-steel caps in-house. Unlike roofers, we know the exact pitch and flashing details a chimney demands, so the repair lasts the life of the liner.

What’s the average cost difference between a basic sweep and a full reline for an Atlanta fireplace with a damaged clay tile liner?

A basic sweep is $145–$185; a full reline with a 24-gauge stainless-steel liner runs $2,400–$3,200 depending on flue length and offset angles. We provide itemized quotes so you see exactly where every dollar goes.
