Complete Chimney Sweeping Services

Routine chimney sweeping maintains system safety, efficiency, and code compliance. You can lower fire danger, better ventilation, and comply with NFPA 211 guidelines. A certified sweep examines reachable parts, confirms clearances, and documents deficiencies. We clean chimney surfaces to execute creosote removal appropriate to its stage, then vacuum particulates with HEPA filtration to control soot distribution. We remove obstructions, clean the smoke shelf, and confirm damper and cap operation.

Our ash disposal process is handled safely, employing metal containers with well-sealed lids, cooled on noncombustible surfaces in accordance with code guidance. We check for moisture intrusion, masonry debris, and pest habitation that may restrict ventilation. Prior to completion, we perform a smoke path inspection, verify carbon monoxide alarms, and provide a written report with maintenance schedules adapted to your specific fuel type and usage patterns.

Professional Fireplace Repair and Restoration Services

Whether you're addressing structural issues in your fireplace or chimney, our certified technicians diagnose the root causes and implement repairs to meet NFPA 211 and IRC specifications. Our team assesses heat stress, moisture intrusion, and settlement, then specify suitable high-quality materials and proper safety clearances. We provide precise chimney and fireplace restoration services that enhance safety and efficiency.

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. Our mortar matching follows ASTM C270 standards, while we repair lintels and ensure proper re-anchoring of surrounds for combustibility compliance. We complete our work with negative-pressure testing and comprehensive photo documentation.

Chimney Relining, Caps, and Dampers

Once we restore chimney fireboxes and smoke chambers to code, it's essential to have a flue system that provides safe and effective ventilation. We assess your flue's dimensions, offsets, and appliance input to size and install 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 insulate as required to preserve optimal flue temperatures and required safety clearances.

Well-designed chimney caps block wildlife intrusion and spark escape while directing precipitation away from the flue termination. We select protective screens with corrosion-resistant mesh sized to preserve draft.

Damper systems deliver reliable climate control and energy conservation. We verify complete sealing, cable setup, and gasket functionality, and record results using smoke testing and pressure measurements.

Professional Leak Detection & Weatherproofing

You can avoid costly moisture damage by detecting typical water entry points such as cracked crowns, failed mortar joints, porous masonry, and compromised flashing. Our team will detail regulation-meeting flashing and cap upgrades that effectively channel moisture and safeguard all entry points to resist wind-driven rain. For enduring defense, we will install moisture-permeable water-repellent treatments to the outer brickwork per industry standards and NFPA 211 guidelines.

Frequent Chimney Leak Points

While rain is often the main issue, most chimney leaks originate at common trouble spots: damaged mortar joints, broken crowns, damaged or absent chimney caps, compromised flashing where the chimney meets the roof, unsealed masonry lacking water protection, and deteriorated flue liners. You'll frequently notice leaks where roof valleys direct runoff toward the chimney, particularly when gutter clogs force water back under shingles. Freeze-thaw cycles enlarge hairline cracks, permitting capillary intrusion that moistens interior walls, oxidizes dampers, and damages fireboxes. Compromised or bare flue tiles can shed water into the smoke chamber. Conduct an inspection with a systematic approach: examine the cap, crown, joints, brick saturation, and interior moisture staining. Record conditions per NFPA 211 levels of inspection and repair defects with suitable materials to maintain structural integrity and fire safety.

Flashing & Cap Enhancement Options

From the roof edge downward, moisture protection starts with well-designed flashing and a weather-tight, regulation-compliant cap. This demands step and counter-flashing incorporated under shingles and into mortar joints, instead of surface caulk. Effective flashing maintenance encompasses replacing corroded metal, fixing laps, and tying into the underlayment following IRC and manufacturer requirements. 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 caps sized to the flue(s) and crown, with protective screening that meets NFPA 211. This material prevents corrosion common in Georgia's humid climate and acidic flue gases. Assure the cap's skirt channels water away from the crown edge and fastens securely, using more than just sealant, to maintain structural reliability and reduce leak pathways.

Sealant Applications for Waterproofing

Effective waterproofing commences with a thorough leak evaluation, featuring hose and dye analysis, humidity measurements, and examination of crowns, joints, and masonry porosity. First verify active pathways, then pick materials suited to material type and exposure level. Focus on surface preparation: pressure-clean, eliminate efflorescence, repair cracks, restore failing mortar to ASTM C270, and provide 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. Secure flashing terminations and minor voids with UV-stable silicone sealant, shaping it to shed water. Perform 2-3 wet-on-wet passes, check coverage rates, and follow cure windows. Record before/after moisture readings and arrange reinspection after major storms.

Code Compliance and Safety Inspections

Given that fireplaces and chimneys are essential safety installations, you must have documented inspections that verify safety parameters and regulatory adherence prior to every heating period and after any event like structural modifications, chimney fires, or lightning impacts. You must follow inspection intervals outlined in NFPA 211 and local building codes, securing Level I, II, or III evaluations as necessary. A certified technician will assess chimney structure, liner condition, and cap functionality, combustible clearances, gas appliance venting, and draft. They'll inspect for creosote, obstructions, moisture damage, and faulty termination points. You'll obtain a written report with photos, defect categorization, and corrective actions prioritized for safety. When required, we coordinate permits and re-inspections to confirm adherence. Avoid using the system until hazardous conditions are corrected and verified.
