Full-Service Chimney Cleaning Solutions
Periodic chimney sweeping keeps your system safe, efficient, and code-compliant. You can lower fire danger, better ventilation, and comply with NFPA 211 standards. A qualified sweep examines reachable parts, verifies spacing, and notes problems. We brush flue walls to perform creosote removal appropriate to its stage, then clean residue with HEPA filtration to prevent soot distribution. We remove obstructions, clear the smoke shelf, and confirm damper and cap performance.
We ensure safe ash disposal, using metal containers with well-sealed lids, placed on noncombustible surfaces as per code guidance. We inspect for water penetration, masonry debris, and critter nesting that could block ventilation. Before finalizing, we execute a smoke path assessment, verify carbon monoxide alarms, and provide a written report with upkeep intervals tailored to your specific fuel type and usage patterns.
Fireplace Repair and Restoration Expertise
When dealing with damaged fireplace components or deteriorating masonry, our experienced technicians determine the source of issues and restore functionality to satisfy NFPA 211 and IRC requirements. We thoroughly examine heat stress, moisture intrusion, and settlement, then select appropriate materials and components that meet safety standards. Our service includes professional chimney and fireplace restoration services that improve functionality and protection.
We assess and document deficiencies while conducting load-path and hearth support inspections, ensuring proper 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. Our final inspection process combines negative-pressure testing with detailed photo documentation.
Chimney Relining, Caps, and Dampers
After restoring smoke chambers and fireboxes to code, it's crucial to implement a flue system that provides safe and effective ventilation. We evaluate your flue's specifications, measurements, and system requirements to correctly dimension and place UL-listed liner materials that comply with NFPA 211 and manufacturer specs. Most wood and gas systems work well with stainless steel liners; aluminum is suitable for select gas-only systems; cast-in-place options stabilize compromised masonry. We provide appropriate insulation to maintain flue gas temperatures and clearance-to-combustibles.
Proper chimney caps prevent wildlife intrusion and spark escape while directing water away from the flue termination. We utilize spark-arresting screens with corrosion-resistant mesh sized to preserve draft.
Damper systems deliver reliable energy efficiency and draft management. Our team checks airtight closure, cable alignment, and gasket integrity, and record results with smoke and manometer tests.
Weatherproofing and Leak Detection Services
You can avoid expensive water-related problems by pinpointing common leak sources such as cracked crowns, failed mortar joints, porous masonry, and compromised flashing. Our team will detail regulation-meeting flashing and cap upgrades that shed water correctly and safeguard all entry points to resist wind-driven rain. For lasting durability, our experts will implement breathable masonry waterproofing solutions to the external walls per product specifications and safety regulations.
Frequent Chimney Leak Points
Although rain is the obvious culprit, most chimney leaks originate at particular problem areas: damaged mortar joints, broken crowns, damaged or absent chimney caps, compromised flashing where the chimney joins the roof, permeable masonry missing water repellent, and damaged flue liners. You'll often observe leaks where roof valleys channel runoff toward the chimney, especially when gutter clogs force water back under shingles. Temperature fluctuations expand hairline cracks, enabling capillary intrusion that wets interior walls, oxidizes dampers, and deteriorates fireboxes. Compromised or bare flue tiles can leak water into the smoke chamber. Conduct an inspection with a top-to-bottom approach: examine the cap, crown, joints, brick saturation, and interior moisture staining. Note observations per NFPA 211 levels of inspection and repair defects with appropriate materials to maintain structural integrity and fire safety.
Flashing and Cap Upgrades
From the roofline downward, water control starts with correctly detailed flashing and a waterproof, building code approved cap. You need step and counter-flashing integrated under shingles and into mortar joints, not just surface caulk. Proper flashing maintenance encompasses switching out corroded metal, adjusting laps, and tying into the underlayment following IRC and manufacturer guidelines. We professionally reset mortar joints where reglets are cut, after which we place kick-out diverters to direct runoff from the chimney.
On the chimney top, install stainless covers sized to the chimney opening and crown, with bird- and spark-screening that meets NFPA 211. Stainless resists deterioration typical of Georgia's humid climate and acidic flue gases. Ensure the cap's rim sheds water past the crown edge and fastens securely, using more than just sealant, to maintain structural reliability and prevent moisture entry.
Waterproofing Sealant Applications
Effective waterproofing commences with a thorough leak evaluation, featuring dye or hose testing, moisture meter readings, and inspection of masonry elements, joints, and crown conditions. First verify active leak routes, then choose materials appropriate to surface conditions and environment. Prioritize surface prep: pressure-wash, treat efflorescence, address cracks, repoint failing mortar to ASTM C270, and ensure proper dry times. Use a breathable silane/siloxane water repellent to vertical masonry to repel wind-driven rain without trapping vapor. Use an elastomeric crown coating with reinforcement fabric at joints for movement tolerance. Protect flashing terminations and minor voids with UV-stable silicone sealant, tooling it to direct water. Apply 2-3 wet-on-wet passes, confirm coverage rates, and respect cure windows. Log before/after moisture readings and plan reinspection after major storms.
Safety Inspections and Code Compliance
Since fireplaces and chimneys function as life-safety components, you need documented inspections that confirm system integrity and compliance standards before each heating season and following incidents like a flue fire, lightning strike, or structural change. You must follow inspection schedules defined by NFPA 211 and local building codes, guaranteeing Level I, II, or III evaluations as warranted. A certified technician will evaluate flue integrity, liner continuity, crown and cap performance, clearance requirements, venting systems, and draft. They'll check for buildup, blockages, water damage, and improper terminations. You'll receive a written report with images, problem identification, and repair priorities organized by safety concerns. When required, we coordinate permits and re-inspections to confirm adherence. Do not use the system until dangerous situations are remedied and checked.
