Level 1 sweep and inspection to the NFPA 211 annual standard - flue, crown, cap, and flashing checked and photographed
Chimney sweep logs do not sweep chimneys. They loosen some creosote - which then falls where a brush and vacuum still have to collect it.

AfterChimney Cleaning in Kennesaw, GA
A chimney sweep in Kennesaw typically runs $175-$295 for a standard prefabricated fireplace unit inspection and cleaning, with most jobs booked within a week before burning season. Because Kennesaw’s housing stock is dominated by 1980s-1990s subdivision builds with aging zero-clearance fireplaces, our crews spend as much time assessing rusted chase covers and deteriorating metal flues as they do removing creosote. We document every flue with a camera scan and deliver a written price before any work starts. Call (678) 535-2204 to schedule.
Why Kennesaw Homes Are Different
Kennesaw’s explosive growth along the I-75/Barrett Parkway corridor through the 1980s and 1990s produced thousands of subdivision homes with factory-built, zero-clearance prefabricated fireplace systems rather than traditional masonry chimneys. Now 25-40 years old, these units are at or past their typical 20-30-year service lifespan.
The humid subtropical climate here means genuine cold snaps and occasional ice storms drive real fireplace use each winter, but high summer humidity is equally destructive. Moisture infiltration through deteriorating prefab chase covers accelerates rust and liner failure between burning seasons. Technicians working the Barrett Parkway and Stilesboro Road subdivisions regularly find original galvanized sheet-metal chase covers rusted through entirely, allowing water to pool inside firebox chases and rot surrounding framing. True masonry chimneys are uncommon here, confined mostly to older pre-1970s homes near the historic downtown core.

AfterChimney Cap & Crown in Kennesaw
Cap and crown work dominates our Kennesaw ticket load because the original galvanized chase covers on 1980s-90s prefab units have reached end of life. Rusted-through covers allow water to pool inside framed chases, rotting surrounding structure before homeowners notice smoke problems. Chimney Cap & Crown service from Level Two includes a full camera scan of the flue and written documentation of chase condition.
Cap Replacement
Signs you need it
Water stains on the chase siding, rust streaks running down the exterior, or visible holes in the galvanized cover itself.
What it costs in Kennesaw
Prefab chase cover replacement typically runs $285-$650 depending on size and whether the chase top is framed wood or metal.
How we do it
We measure the chase opening, fabricate a stainless steel or copper cover with proper drip edges and screen, and install it with a watertight seal.
Crown Repair
Signs you need it
Cracks wider than 1/8 inch visible from the roof, spalling concrete, or water pooling on the crown surface after rain.
What it costs in Kennesaw
Masonry crown repair ranges $350-$750; full crown replacement on older downtown-core chimneys runs $800-$1,400.
How we do it
We grind out cracked material, apply a bonding agent, and pour new crown mix with proper slope and overhang to shed water.
What Chimney Cap & Crown Costs in Kennesaw
| Item | Typical range in Kennesaw |
|---|---|
| Prefab chase cover replacement | $285-$650 |
| Masonry crown repair | $350-$750 |
| Full crown replacement | $800-$1,400 |
How long does a chase cover replacement take?
Most prefab chase cover replacements in Kennesaw are completed in 2-3 hours, with materials measured and fabricated to fit your specific chase dimensions. We bring common sizes on the truck and custom-fabricate odd sizes through our Haven network.
Can a rusted chase cover wait until next season?
No - once rust penetrates the cover, water enters the framed chase and rots structural members year-round, not just during burning season. We document the damage with photos and give you a written price before any work.
Chimney Liner & Rebuild in Kennesaw
Corrosion from condensation and creosote acids eats through single-wall and double-wall metal liners, creating gaps that allow heat transfer to combustible framing. Chimney Liner & Rebuild work from Level Two starts with a camera scan to map damage before any price is written.
Stainless Steel Liner
Signs you need it
Camera inspection shows holes, separations, or heavy corrosion scaling inside the metal flue liner.
What it costs in Kennesaw
Stainless steel liner installation for a prefab fireplace typically runs $1,800-$3,200 depending on flue height and diameter.
How we do it
We remove the damaged liner, size the replacement with an NFPA 211-compliant stainless steel system, and connect it to the factory-built firebox per manufacturer specs.
Partial Rebuild
Signs you need it
Multiple courses of spalling brick, a leaning chimney stack, or separated wythes visible from ground level or roof.
What it costs in Kennesaw
Partial rebuilds of masonry chimneys in the older downtown core range $2,500-$5,500 depending on height and accessibility.
How we do it
We dismantle to sound masonry, rebuild with matching brick if available, and install proper flashing and a new cap before closeout.
What Chimney Liner & Rebuild Costs in Kennesaw
| Item | Typical range in Kennesaw |
|---|---|
| Stainless steel liner installation | $1,800-$3,200 |
| Partial masonry rebuild | $2,500-$5,500 |
| Full chimney rebuild | $6,500-$12,000 |
Does my prefab fireplace need a new liner or a full unit replacement?
It depends on firebox condition: if the metal firebox panels are cracked or warped, liner replacement alone won’t restore safety and a full unit replacement may be required. We camera-scan both the flue and firebox to give you a real answer with photos.
How long does a stainless steel liner last?
A properly installed 316Ti stainless steel liner carries a lifetime warranty and typically outlasts the prefab firebox it serves. We source ours through Olympia Chimney and back the installation with our 365-Day Done Right Promise.
Brands We Service in Kennesaw
We stock and install parts from Gelco, Olympia Chimney, Famco, and Copperfield through Haven’s buying network, which keeps customer prices honest and turnaround short. Most standard caps, liners, and fittings are on the truck or available within 48 hours.
