Complete Chimney Sweeping Services

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 guidelines. A professional sweep inspects accessible components, verifies spacing, and notes problems. We scrub flue linings to execute creosote removal based on accumulation level, then clean residue with HEPA filtration to control soot spread. We eliminate clogs, sweep the smoke shelf, and confirm damper and cap function.

We ensure safe ash disposal, utilizing metal containers with tight-fitting lids, placed on noncombustible surfaces as per code guidance. We examine for water penetration, masonry debris, and pest habitation that could block ventilation. Before concluding, we execute a smoke path check, confirm carbon monoxide alarms, and deliver a written report with service intervals customized to your fuel choice and consumption habits.

Expert Fireplace Repair and Restoration

When dealing with damaged fireplace components or deteriorating masonry, our certified technicians determine the source of issues and rebuild components to meet NFPA 211 and IRC requirements. We thoroughly examine heat stress, moisture intrusion, and settlement, then choose compatible refractory materials, stainless fasteners, and noncombustible clearances. You receive expert chimney and fireplace restoration services that enhance draft performance and safety.

Our inspection process includes documenting deficiencies, checking load-path and hearth support, and confirming ember and spark containment. If you own a period home, we stabilize historic mantels, conserve ornate tilework, and integrate discreet steel reinforcement without altering character. We match mortar with ASTM C270 standards, repair lintels, and re-anchor surrounds to maintain combustibility setbacks. Our final inspection process combines negative-pressure testing with detailed photo documentation.

Chimney Systems: Relining, Caps & Damper Solutions

After restoring fireboxes and smoke chambers to code, it's essential to have a flue system that ensures safe and efficient venting. We assess your flue's configuration, alignment, and heating requirements to correctly dimension and place UL-listed liner materials that meet 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 alternatives help strengthen weakened masonry. We add necessary insulation to preserve optimal flue temperatures and required safety clearances.

Proper chimney caps block wildlife intrusion and spark escape while shedding water clear of the flue termination. We utilize protective screens with rust-resistant mesh sized to maintain draft.

Our damper solutions provide dependable draft control and energy savings. Our team checks proper sealing, cable positioning, and gasket condition, followed by performance validation through comprehensive smoke and pressure testing.

Expert Leak Detection and Weather Protection

You can avoid costly moisture damage by pinpointing common leak sources such as cracked crowns, failed mortar joints, porous masonry, and compromised flashing. We'll specify building code approved cap and flashing improvements that properly divert water and safeguard all entry points to prevent weather infiltration. For enduring defense, we'll apply breathable siloxane/silane waterproofing sealants to the outer brickwork per industry standards and NFPA 211 guidelines.

Frequent Chimney Leak Points

Although rain is the obvious culprit, most chimney leaks start at particular problem areas: worn mortar joints, damaged crowns, missing or damaged chimney caps, compromised flashing where the chimney meets the roof, unsealed masonry lacking water protection, and damaged flue liners. You'll frequently notice leaks where roof valleys direct runoff toward the chimney, especially when gutter clogs drive water back under shingles. Temperature fluctuations widen hairline cracks, enabling capillary intrusion that wets interior walls, rusts dampers, and damages fireboxes. Compromised or bare flue tiles can release water into the smoke chamber. Examine with a comprehensive approach: check the cap, crown, joints, brick saturation, and interior moisture staining. Document all findings per NFPA 211 levels of inspection and fix defects with appropriate materials to protect structural integrity and fire safety.

Flashing & Cap Enhancement Options

From the roof edge downward, leak prevention begins with correctly detailed flashing and a sealed, building code approved cap. It requires step and counter-flashing integrated under shingles and into mortar joints, not just surface caulk. Professional flashing maintenance involves replacing corroded metal, adjusting laps, and connecting into the underlayment according to IRC and manufacturer specifications. We carefully reset mortar joints where reglets are cut, following which we install kick-out diverters to channel runoff clear of the chimney.

For the upper section, switch to stainless caps sized to the flue(s) and crown, with protective screening that complies with NFPA 211. Stainless resists corrosion common in Georgia's humid climate and acidic flue gases. Assure the cap's edge diverts moisture past the crown edge and fastens securely, using more than just sealant, to maintain structural reliability and reduce leak pathways.

Waterproofing Sealant Applications

A comprehensive waterproofing plan begins with a detailed leak assessment, featuring hose and dye analysis, moisture meter readings, and examination of masonry elements, joints, and crown conditions. You'll confirm active pathways, then select materials suited to substrate and exposure. Emphasize surface preparation: power-clean, treat efflorescence, address cracks, repoint failing mortar to ASTM C270, and ensure proper dry times. Apply a breathable silane/siloxane water repellent to vertical masonry to repel wind-driven rain without trapping vapor. Install an elastomeric crown coating with reinforcement fabric at intersections for flexibility. Seal flashing terminations and minor voids with UV-stable silicone sealant, tooling it to shed water. Apply 2-3 wet-on-wet passes, check coverage rates, and respect cure windows. Document before/after moisture readings and schedule reinspection after major storms.

Code Requirements and Safety Protocols

Given that fireplaces and chimneys function as life-safety components, you need documented inspections that validate safety parameters and regulatory adherence before each heating season and following incidents like structural modifications, chimney fires, or lightning impacts. You need to follow inspection timeframes defined by NFPA 211 and local building codes, ensuring Level I, II, or III evaluations as required. A certified technician will assess flue integrity, liner continuity, crown and cap performance, safety clearances, ventilation requirements, and draft. They'll look for creosote, obstructions, moisture damage, and improper terminations. You'll get a written report with photos, defect categorization, and corrective actions prioritized for safety. When required, we arrange permits and re-inspections to confirm adherence. Do not use the system until hazardous conditions are corrected and verified.
