Complete Chimney Sweeping Services

Periodic chimney cleaning keeps your system safe, efficient, and code-compliant. You can lower fire danger, better ventilation, and comply with NFPA 211 standards. A professional sweep checks available elements, verifies spacing, and records issues. We scrub flue linings to execute creosote removal based on accumulation level, then vacuum particulates with HEPA filtration to prevent soot distribution. We eliminate clogs, clean the smoke shelf, and check damper and cap operation.

We safely manage ash disposal, using metal containers with tight-fitting lids, stationed on noncombustible surfaces following code guidance. We check for moisture intrusion, masonry debris, and critter nesting that can impede ventilation. Prior to completion, we conduct a smoke path assessment, confirm carbon monoxide alarms, and supply a written report with service intervals tailored to your fuel choice and consumption habits.

Expert Fireplace Repair and Restoration

Whether you're addressing cracked firebrick, warped dampers, or spalling masonry, our certified technicians determine the source of issues and rebuild components to satisfy NFPA 211 and IRC requirements. We thoroughly examine thermal damage, water infiltration, and structural movement, then select suitable high-quality materials and proper safety clearances. We provide precise comprehensive repair and restoration work that optimize functionality and protection.

Our inspection process includes documenting deficiencies, checking load-path and hearth support, and confirming ember and spark containment. For period homes, we specialize in stabilizing historic mantels, preserving ornate tilework, and implementing subtle steel reinforcement while maintaining original character. Our mortar matching follows ASTM C270 standards, while we repair lintels and ensure proper re-anchoring of surrounds for combustibility compliance. Our final inspection process combines negative-pressure testing with detailed photo documentation.

Chimney Systems: Relining, Caps & Damper Solutions

After restoring smoke chambers and fireboxes to code, you need a flue system that ensures safe and efficient venting. We examine your flue's specifications, measurements, and system requirements to properly fit and mount UL-listed liner materials that meet NFPA 211 and manufacturer specs. Stainless steel liners are ideal for most wood and gas applications; aluminum is suitable for select gas-only systems; cast-in-place alternatives help strengthen weakened masonry. We provide appropriate insulation to preserve optimal flue temperatures and required safety clearances.

Proper chimney caps prevent animals and burning embers from entering while shedding precipitation from the flue termination. We select spark-arresting screens with rust-resistant mesh sized to preserve draft.

Top-sealing and throat dampers offer consistent draft control and energy savings. We verify complete sealing, cable setup, and gasket functionality, then document performance through comprehensive smoke and pressure testing.

Weatherproofing and Leak Detection Services

You will eliminate damaging water issues by detecting typical water entry points such as broken crown caps, worn mortar, absorbent masonry, and defective flashing. We will recommend regulation-meeting flashing system enhancements that properly divert water and protect all openings to resist wind-driven rain. For long-term protection, we'll apply breathable masonry waterproofing solutions to the outer brickwork per product specifications and safety regulations.

Main Causes of Chimney Leakage

Even though rain seems to be the primary cause, most chimney leaks start at specific failure points: deteriorated mortar joints, damaged crowns, damaged or absent chimney caps, failed flashing where the chimney connects with the roof, unsealed masonry lacking water protection, and damaged flue liners. You'll commonly find leaks where roof valleys direct runoff toward the chimney, particularly when gutter blockages drive water back under shingles. Freezing and thawing enlarge hairline cracks, permitting capillary intrusion that damages interior walls, oxidizes dampers, and deteriorates fireboxes. Damaged or unlined flue tiles can release water into the smoke chamber. Examine with a top-to-bottom approach: examine the cap, crown, joints, brick saturation, and interior moisture staining. Record conditions per NFPA 211 levels of inspection and repair defects with compatible materials to preserve structural integrity and fire safety.

Flashing & Cap Enhancement Options

Beginning with the roof perimeter downward, moisture protection starts with properly installed flashing and a waterproof, code-compliant cap. It requires step and counter-flashing incorporated under shingles and into mortar joints, instead of surface caulk. Effective flashing maintenance involves 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 install kick-out diverters to direct runoff clear of the chimney.

At the top, install stainless caps matching the flue(s) and crown, with protective screening that satisfies NFPA 211. Stainless steel withstands corrosion common in Georgia's humid climate and acidic flue gases. Ensure the cap's skirt sheds water beyond the crown edge and anchors mechanically, beyond simple sealant application, to ensure lasting stability and prevent moisture entry.

Applications of Waterproofing Sealants

Targeted waterproofing starts after an in-depth leak assessment, incorporating hose and dye analysis, moisture meter readings, and inspection of masonry elements, joints, and crown conditions. First verify active leak routes, then select materials matched to surface conditions and environment. Emphasize surface conditioning: power-clean, treat efflorescence, address cracks, renew failing mortar to ASTM C270, and ensure proper dry times. Install a breathable silane/siloxane water repellent to vertical masonry to shed wind-driven rain without trapping vapor. Use an elastomeric crown coating with reinforcement fabric at intersections check here for flexibility. Protect flashing terminations and minor voids with UV-stable silicone sealant, shaping it to shed water. Maintain 2-3 wet-on-wet passes, confirm coverage rates, and respect cure windows. Document before/after moisture readings and plan reinspection after major storms.

Code Requirements and Safety Protocols

Since fireplaces and chimneys function as life-safety components, you must have documented inspections that confirm system integrity and compliance standards before each heating season and after any event like a flue fire, lightning strike, or structural change. You need to follow inspection intervals specified in NFPA 211 and local building codes, guaranteeing Level I, II, or III evaluations as required. A certified technician will examine chimney structure, liner condition, and cap functionality, clearance requirements, ventilation requirements, and draft. They'll inspect for buildup, blockages, water damage, and improper terminations. You'll obtain a written report with photos, defect categorization, and corrective actions arranged by safety importance. When required, we manage permits and re-inspections to document compliance. Avoid using the system until safety issues are resolved and confirmed.
