Hector U. Chimney Inc. has been the trusted name for Atlanta’s older-home owners since 1989, specializing in the unique demands of brick masonry and historic chimneys. Unlike newer builds, homes built before 1980 often hide cracked flue liners, deteriorated mortar joints, or creosote buildup that standard sweeps overlook. Our crew arrives with vintage brick-matching mortar, stainless-steel liners, and the patience to diagnose why your 1920s fireplace smells like old rain every time it rains—because we’ve seen it all before. We don’t just clean; we restore the structural integrity your chimney lost decades ago.
When Atlanta’s spring pollen coats every surface, our masonry experts climb onto 80-year-old roofs to find the exact spot where water is seeping through eroded crowns or missing chimney caps. We pair traditional trowel work with modern infrared scans to spot hidden moisture before it turns your brick into a sponge. Homeowners in Grant Park and Inman Park call us when their 1940s fireplace starts drawing cold air instead of smoke, because we know the difference between a drafty flue and a cracked liner that’s venting carbon monoxide into the living room. Your chimney isn’t just a pipe—it’s a piece of your home’s history we treat with the same care as the original plaster walls.
We built our reputation on the unglamorous truth that most chimney problems start where you can’t see them: behind the brick, inside the liner, or above the roofline. Atlanta’s humidity and sudden temperature swings accelerate deterioration in older masonry, so we install custom-fit stainless liners that outlast the original terra-cotta flues. Whether your 1930s Tudor has a single flue or your 1950s ranch has two, we document every repair with photos and a written report so you know exactly what we fixed—and why it matters. No upsells, no scare tactics—just the honest work your family’s safety deserves.
We’re fully licensed (#CS-2023-470-GA) and insured with $2M liability coverage, so you’re protected from day one. Our team carries certifications from the Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA), and we’re proud members of the Atlanta Better Business Bureau. We stand behind every job with a 1-year workmanship warranty and offer free estimates—no hidden fees, no pressure. When you hire us, you’re hiring a team that treats your home like our own.
Atlanta’s vintage homes weren’t built with modern chimney standards in mind. We understand the nuances of 1920s brickwork, 1950s mortar mixes, and the unique wear patterns of homes in neighborhoods like Virginia-Highland or Grant Park. Our team knows where to look for hidden damage—like cracks behind the facade or deteriorating liners in chimneys that haven’t been touched since the Carter administration. We don’t just sweep; we preserve.
Chimney issues don’t wait for convenient times. We offer same-day service for emergencies like water leaks or animal intrusions, and our team works efficiently to minimize downtime. Whether you’re hosting a dinner party in Buckhead or prepping for a winter storm, we’ll have your chimney safe and sound without turning your home into a construction zone. Our crews arrive on time, clean up thoroughly, and leave your property spotless.
We provide free, detailed estimates upfront, so you know exactly what to expect before we start. Our pricing is based on the scope of work, not the size of your wallet. We offer financing options for larger projects, like liner installations or tuckpointing, and we’ll work with your insurance if a claim is needed. No bait-and-switch tactics—just honest, upfront pricing from a team that’s been serving Atlanta since 1998.
