Full-Service Chimney Sweeping Services
Routine chimney cleaning maintains system safety, efficiency, and code compliance. You'll reduce fire risk, improve draft, and meet NFPA 211 recommendations. A professional sweep checks available elements, confirms clearances, and notes problems. We clean chimney surfaces to execute creosote removal according to buildup type, then clean residue with HEPA filtration to prevent soot distribution. We remove obstructions, sweep the smoke shelf, and verify damper and cap performance.
Our ash disposal process is handled safely, utilizing metal containers with tight-fitting lids, placed on noncombustible surfaces following code guidance. We examine for water penetration, masonry debris, and critter nesting that may restrict ventilation. Before concluding, we execute a smoke path assessment, confirm carbon monoxide alarms, and provide a written report with service intervals tailored to your specific fuel type and usage patterns.
Professional Fireplace Repair and Restoration Services
When dealing with structural issues in your fireplace or chimney, our certified technicians determine the source of issues and restore functionality to satisfy NFPA 211 and IRC standards. Our team assesses heat stress, moisture intrusion, and settlement, then choose suitable refractory materials, stainless fasteners, and noncombustible clearances. You receive precise chimney and fireplace restoration services that enhance safety and efficiency.
We assess and document deficiencies while conducting load-path and hearth support inspections, ensuring proper 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. 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, you need a flue system that vents safely and efficiently. We evaluate your flue's dimensions, offsets, and appliance input 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 fits some gas-only units; cast-in-place options stabilize compromised masonry. We provide appropriate insulation to ensure proper flue gas temperatures and safe clearances.
Proper chimney caps stop animal entry and ember discharge while shedding precipitation away from the flue termination. We choose spark-arresting screens with anti-corrosion mesh sized to preserve draft.
Our damper solutions provide dependable climate control and energy conservation. Our team checks airtight closure, cable alignment, and gasket integrity, and record results through comprehensive smoke and pressure testing.
Professional Leak Detection & Weatherproofing
You can avoid costly moisture damage by detecting common leak sources such as broken crown caps, worn mortar, absorbent masonry, and defective flashing. Our team will detail regulation-meeting flashing and cap upgrades that properly divert water and safeguard all entry points to prevent weather infiltration. For enduring defense, we'll apply moisture-permeable siloxane/silane waterproofing sealants to the outer brickwork per industry standards and NFPA 211 guidelines.
Common Sources of Chimney Leaks
Although rain is the obvious culprit, most chimney leaks begin at particular problem areas: damaged mortar joints, broken crowns, damaged or absent chimney caps, damaged flashing where the chimney connects with the roof, unsealed masonry lacking water protection, and damaged flue liners. You'll frequently notice leaks where roof valleys concentrate runoff toward the chimney, especially when gutter obstructions force water back under shingles. Temperature fluctuations enlarge hairline cracks, enabling capillary intrusion that moistens interior walls, oxidizes dampers, and degrades fireboxes. Unlined or damaged flue tiles can leak water into the smoke chamber. Inspect 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 fix defects with appropriate materials to protect structural integrity and fire safety.
Flashing & Cap Enhancement Options
Starting at the roof perimeter down, leak prevention commences with well-designed flashing and a sealed, regulation-compliant cap. It requires step and counter-flashing installed under shingles and into mortar joints, instead of surface caulk. Professional flashing restoration involves removing corroded metal, fixing laps, and tying into the underlayment according to IRC and manufacturer guidelines. We carefully reset mortar joints where reglets are cut, after which we place kick-out diverters to channel runoff clear of the chimney.
On the chimney top, install stainless caps sized to 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. Assure the cap's rim diverts moisture away from the crown edge and fastens securely, using more than just sealant, to maintain structural reliability and minimize water infiltration.
Waterproofing Sealant Applications
Effective waterproofing commences with an in-depth leak assessment, incorporating water and dye testing, humidity measurements, and inspection of crowns, joints, and masonry porosity. Identify active leak routes, then pick materials appropriate to surface conditions and environment. Prioritize surface conditioning: pressure-wash, neutralize efflorescence, fix cracks, renew failing mortar to ASTM C270, and allow proper dry times. Apply 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 connection points for flexibility. Secure flashing terminations and minor voids with UV-stable silicone sealant, tooling it to direct water. Maintain 2-3 wet-on-wet passes, verify coverage rates, and respect cure windows. Record before/after moisture readings and plan reinspection after major storms.
Code Compliance and Safety Inspections
Because fireplaces and chimneys function as life-safety components, you need documented inspections that confirm 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 defined by NFPA 211 and local building codes, guaranteeing Level I, II, or III evaluations as required. A certified technician will examine flue system integrity and component performance, safety clearances, venting systems, and draft. They'll inspect for creosote accumulation, blockages, water issues, and incorrect vent endings. You'll receive a written report with photos, defect categorization, and corrective actions prioritized for safety. When required, we coordinate permits and re-inspections to document compliance. Avoid using the system until safety issues are resolved and confirmed.
