Full-Service Chimney Sweeping Solutions

Regular chimney cleaning ensures your system stays safe, efficient, and up to code. You can lower fire danger, better ventilation, and comply with NFPA 211 recommendations. A professional sweep checks available elements, validates clearance requirements, and notes problems. We brush flue walls to perform creosote removal based on accumulation level, then vacuum particulates with HEPA filtration to manage soot migration. We remove obstructions, clear the smoke shelf, and verify damper and cap operation.

We safely manage ash disposal, utilizing metal containers with secure lids, stationed on noncombustible surfaces following code guidance. We check for moisture intrusion, masonry debris, and pest habitation that could block ventilation. Before concluding, we execute a smoke path assessment, confirm carbon monoxide alarms, and deliver a written report with upkeep intervals adapted to your fuel choice and consumption habits.

Fireplace Repair and Restoration Expertise

Whether you're addressing structural issues in your fireplace or chimney, our skilled technicians determine the source of issues and restore functionality to comply with NFPA 211 and IRC specifications. We thoroughly examine structural damage, water penetration, and foundation issues, then specify compatible high-quality materials and proper safety clearances. Our service includes professional comprehensive repair and restoration work that optimize functionality and protection.

We document deficiencies, perform load-path and hearth support checks, and verify ember and spark containment. When working with period properties, we focus on mantel stabilization, ornate tile conservation, and seamless steel reinforcement that preserves historical integrity. Following ASTM C270 standards, we match mortar precisely, repair lintels, and secure surrounds to meet combustibility requirements. We complete our work with negative-pressure testing and comprehensive photo documentation.

Chimney Systems: Relining, Caps & Damper Solutions

Following the restoration of chimney fireboxes and smoke chambers to code, it's crucial to implement a flue system that provides safe and effective ventilation. We assess your flue's dimensions, offsets, and appliance input to properly fit and mount UL-listed liner materials that comply with NFPA 211 and manufacturer specs. Most wood and gas systems work well with stainless steel liners; aluminum fits some gas-only units; cast-in-place options stabilize compromised masonry. We insulate as required to ensure proper flue gas temperatures and safe clearances.

Quality chimney caps stop animals and burning embers from entering while channeling rain and snow clear of the flue termination. We select ember-blocking screens with anti-corrosion mesh engineered to preserve draft.

Our damper solutions provide reliable climate control and energy conservation. We verify airtight closure, cable alignment, and gasket integrity, followed by performance validation through comprehensive smoke and pressure testing.

Professional Leak Detection & Weatherproofing

You'll prevent costly moisture damage by pinpointing frequent moisture problems such as damaged chimney crowns, deteriorating mortar, permeable brickwork, and faulty flashing. We will recommend code-compliant flashing system enhancements that shed water correctly and protect all openings to withstand rain and wind. For lasting durability, our experts will implement vapor-permeable siloxane/silane waterproofing sealants to the outer brickwork per manufacturer specs and NFPA 211 best practices.

Main Causes of Chimney Leakage

While rain is often the main issue, most chimney leaks originate at specific failure points: deteriorated mortar joints, broken crowns, damaged or absent chimney caps, compromised flashing where the chimney joins the roof, permeable masonry missing water repellent, and deteriorated flue liners. You'll often observe leaks where roof valleys channel runoff toward the chimney, particularly when gutter blockages force water back under shingles. Temperature fluctuations expand hairline cracks, allowing capillary intrusion that damages interior walls, corrodes dampers, and damages fireboxes. Compromised or bare flue tiles can release water into the smoke chamber. Examine with a top-to-bottom approach: inspect the cap, crown, joints, brick saturation, and interior moisture staining. Record conditions per NFPA 211 levels of inspection and correct defects with suitable materials to preserve structural integrity and fire safety.

Flashing and Cap Upgrades

Starting at the roof perimeter down, water control begins with properly installed flashing and a weather-tight, regulation-compliant cap. This demands step and counter-flashing incorporated under shingles and into mortar joints, not just surface caulk. Professional flashing restoration encompasses replacing corroded metal, correcting laps, and connecting into the underlayment as per IRC and manufacturer specifications. We professionally reset mortar joints where reglets are cut, then we position kick-out diverters to channel runoff from the chimney.

On the read more chimney top, switch to stainless covers fitted for the chimney opening and crown, with bird- and spark-screening that complies with NFPA 211. Stainless steel withstands rust issues prevalent in Georgia's humid climate and acidic flue gases. Ensure the cap's edge channels water past the crown edge and fastens securely, not with sealant alone, to maintain structural reliability and prevent moisture entry.

Applications of Waterproofing Sealants

Targeted waterproofing starts with a thorough leak investigation, incorporating dye or hose testing, moisture level testing, and inspection of crowns, joints, and masonry porosity. Identify active water paths, then select materials suited to material type and exposure level. Prioritize surface conditioning: pressure-clean, neutralize efflorescence, fix cracks, renew failing mortar to ASTM C270, and allow proper dry times. Install a breathable silane/siloxane water repellent to vertical masonry to deflect wind-driven rain without trapping vapor. Apply an elastomeric crown coating with reinforcement fabric at connection points for movement tolerance. Protect flashing terminations and minor voids with UV-stable silicone sealant, tooling it to direct water. Maintain 2-3 wet-on-wet passes, confirm coverage rates, and observe cure windows. Log before/after moisture readings and arrange reinspection after major storms.

Code Compliance and Safety Inspections

Since fireplaces and chimneys are critical safety systems, you need documented inspections that verify system integrity and compliance standards before each heating season and subsequent to occurrences like structural modifications, chimney fires, or lightning impacts. You must follow inspection intervals outlined in NFPA 211 and local building codes, ensuring Level I, II, or III evaluations as necessary. A certified technician will examine chimney structure, liner condition, and cap functionality, safety clearances, gas appliance venting, and draft. They'll inspect for creosote, obstructions, moisture damage, and incorrect vent endings. You'll get a written report with photos, defect categorization, and corrective actions organized by safety concerns. When required, we coordinate permits and re-inspections to verify conformity. Don't operate the system until safety issues are resolved and confirmed.
