Why Hearthstone Chimney Co. Is Chamblee’s Preferred Chimney Repair Company
We’ve been answering calls from Chamblee homeowners since before the MARTA extension reached the city, and that longevity means something in a town where contractors come and go. Our technicians know the difference between a 1962 ranch off Clairmont Road with its original clay-tile liner and a renovated bungalow near Peachtree Road with a newer stainless system - and they treat each one with the specific Chimney Liner & Rebuild - Chamblee approach it needs.
Chamblee customers tell us they chose us because we show up when we say we will, we explain what we found in plain English, and we leave photos they can actually see. Our 90-Day Done Right Promise is backed in writing with no arguing - if it’s not right, we come back. That matters to homeowners who’ve already been burned by a contractor once.
Most repairs in Chamblee are completed in a single visit by background-checked, uniformed technicians who carry professional-grade materials from DuraFlex, HeatShield, and Famco on their trucks. No waiting for parts, no return trips, no surprises on the bill.

Our Chimney Repair Services in Chamblee
Mortar Repointing in Chamblee
The mortar joints in Chamblee’s 1950s-1970s brick ranch chimneys weren’t formulated to withstand seven decades of Georgia humidity cycles. We grind out deteriorated mortar to proper depth and repoint with color-matched, professional-grade mortar that bonds correctly with the original brick. In neighborhoods like Huntley Hills and along Shallowford Road, we’ve repointed chimneys where the original mortar had turned to sand - restoring structural integrity without the cost of a full rebuild.

Spalling Brick Repair
Spalling - bricks cracking, flaking, or popping their faces off - is what we find when moisture has penetrated the chimney system and frozen, even in Chamblee’s relatively mild winters. Those brief January cold snaps are enough. We remove damaged brick, match replacement units for color and texture, and address the water source so it doesn’t happen again. We’ve repaired spalling on chimneys visible from Chamblee’s historic downtown that had gone unaddressed for twenty years.

Chimney Waterproofing
Chamblee’s humid subtropical climate delivers sixty-plus inches of annual rainfall, and unprotected masonry absorbs it like a sponge. We apply vapor-permeable waterproofing agents from professional-grade suppliers that let the chimney breathe while blocking water entry. This is preventive work that pays for itself - we waterproof chimneys in Chamblee’s established neighborhoods to stop the damage before repointing or rebuilding becomes necessary.

Flashing Repair
The junction where your chimney meets the roof is the most common leak point we see in Chamblee, especially on the low-slope ranch roofs common to the area’s housing stock. We repair or replace step flashing, counterflashing, and cricket assemblies using materials sized correctly for your roof pitch and chimney dimension. Our Chimney Cap & Crown in Chamblee work often goes hand-in-hand with flashing repair, since a cracked crown channels water directly to that vulnerable seam.

Trusted Brands We Service in Chamblee
We stock our Chamblee service trucks with professional-grade materials from DuraFlex, HeatShield, and Copperfield - no builder-grade substitutes, no waiting for a parts run to Doraville. When we arrive at your Chamblee home, we intend to complete the repair that day. That means carrying stainless steel chimney liners in standard diameters, crown repair compounds rated for Georgia’s UV exposure, and waterproofing formulations specifically designed for masonry in high-humidity climates - plus everything needed for a full Chimney Cleaning & Sweep - Chamblee service. If your system uses a specialty component, we’ll tell you upfront and source it fast, but most Chamblee chimneys - the standard 8″×8″ and 8″×12″ clay-tile-lined masonry stacks built during the post-WWII expansion - can be fully serviced from our mobile inventory.
Common Chimney Repair Problems We See in Chamblee Homes
- Original clay-tile liners cracked after 50-70 years of thermal cycling. Chamblee’s ranch neighborhoods are full of chimneys whose liners have never been inspected since installation. We regularly find vertical cracks, shifted tiles, and missing sections that allow combustion gases to reach the brick surround.
- Crowns deteriorated from decades of moisture intrusion and freeze-thaw. The concrete crown at the top of your chimney takes the worst weather. In Chamblee, we see crowns cracked and spalled to the point that water runs directly into the flue system every time it rains.
- Smoke chambers eroded and improperly parged. The area above your firebox and below the flue tile collects acidic condensation and creosote. In Chamblee’s infrequently-used fireplaces, this buildup often goes unnoticed until a Level-2 camera inspection reveals a corbelled, unlined smoke chamber that no longer drafts safely.
- Improperly vented gas-log inserts in newer townhomes. Chamblee’s redevelopment has brought fireplace inserts vented through flues never designed for their BTU output or moisture volume. We resize or reline these systems to current safety standards.
