Professional Chimney Sweeping Expertise

Routine chimney maintenance keeps your system safe, efficient, and code-compliant. You can lower fire danger, better ventilation, and comply with NFPA 211 recommendations. A qualified sweep examines reachable parts, verifies spacing, and documents deficiencies. We clean chimney surfaces to execute creosote removal based on accumulation level, then clean residue with HEPA filtration to manage soot migration. We eliminate clogs, clean the smoke shelf, and verify damper and cap function.

We ensure safe ash disposal, utilizing metal containers with well-sealed lids, cooled on noncombustible surfaces following code guidance. We inspect for dampness, masonry debris, and pest habitation that can impede ventilation. Before finalizing, we execute a smoke path assessment, confirm carbon monoxide alarms, and deliver a written report with upkeep intervals adapted to your specific fuel type and usage patterns.

Fireplace Repair and Restoration Expertise

Whether you're addressing structural issues in your fireplace or chimney, our experienced technicians identify underlying problems and implement repairs to meet NFPA 211 and IRC standards. Our team assesses structural damage, water penetration, and foundation issues, then select appropriate high-quality materials and proper safety clearances. You receive precise chimney and fireplace restoration services that optimize functionality and protection.

We assess and document deficiencies while conducting load-path and hearth support inspections, ensuring proper 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. 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

After restoring fireboxes and smoke chambers to code, it's essential to have a flue system that provides safe and effective ventilation. We evaluate your flue's configuration, alignment, and heating requirements to properly fit and mount UL-listed liner materials that satisfy 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 alternatives help strengthen weakened masonry. We add necessary insulation to maintain flue gas temperatures and clearance-to-combustibles.

Well-designed chimney caps block wildlife intrusion and spark escape while channeling rain and snow away from the flue termination. We utilize ember-blocking screens with corrosion-resistant mesh sized to ensure proper draft.

Top-sealing and throat dampers offer reliable energy efficiency and draft management. We verify complete sealing, cable setup, and gasket functionality, followed by performance validation with smoke and manometer tests.

Expert Leak Detection and Weather Protection

You will eliminate expensive water-related problems by pinpointing common leak sources such as damaged chimney crowns, deteriorating mortar, permeable brickwork, and faulty flashing. Our team will detail code-compliant flashing and cap upgrades get more info that shed water correctly and secure all penetrations to withstand rain and wind. For lasting durability, we'll apply moisture-permeable siloxane/silane waterproofing sealants to the exterior masonry per industry standards and NFPA 211 guidelines.

Frequent Chimney Leak Points

Even though rain seems to be the primary cause, most chimney leaks originate at particular problem areas: deteriorated mortar joints, broken crowns, broken or missing chimney caps, damaged flashing where the chimney joins the roof, porous masonry without proper waterproofing, and compromised flue liners. You'll often observe leaks where roof valleys channel runoff toward the chimney, especially when gutter obstructions drive water back under shingles. Freezing and thawing expand hairline cracks, allowing capillary intrusion that wets 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: inspect the cap, crown, joints, brick saturation, and interior moisture staining. Record conditions per NFPA 211 levels of inspection and fix defects with compatible materials to preserve structural integrity and fire safety.

Cap and Flashing Improvements

Beginning with the roof perimeter downward, moisture protection begins with correctly detailed flashing and a sealed, code-compliant cap. You need step and counter-flashing installed under shingles and into mortar joints, instead of surface caulk. Effective flashing repair involves replacing corroded metal, fixing laps, and connecting into the underlayment as per IRC and manufacturer guidelines. We carefully reset mortar joints where reglets are cut, after which we install kick-out diverters to direct runoff from the chimney.

At the top, switch to stainless toppers sized to the flue(s) and crown, with bird- and spark-screening that complies with NFPA 211. This material prevents rust issues prevalent in Georgia's humid climate and acidic flue gases. Assure the cap's skirt sheds water beyond the crown edge and attaches firmly, not with sealant alone, to preserve structural integrity and prevent moisture entry.

Waterproofing Sealant Applications

Targeted waterproofing starts following an in-depth leak assessment, incorporating water and dye testing, moisture meter readings, and examination of masonry elements, joints, and crown conditions. You'll confirm active pathways, then pick materials matched to surface conditions and environment. Emphasize surface prep: pressure-wash, neutralize efflorescence, address cracks, restore failing mortar to ASTM C270, and allow proper dry times. Use a breathable silane/siloxane water repellent to vertical masonry to repel wind-driven rain without trapping vapor. Apply an elastomeric crown coating with reinforcement fabric at connection points for flexibility. Secure flashing terminations and minor voids with UV-stable silicone sealant, shaping it to direct water. Apply 2-3 wet-on-wet passes, confirm coverage rates, and follow cure windows. Document before/after moisture readings and arrange reinspection after major storms.

Safety Inspections and Code Compliance

Because fireplaces and chimneys are essential safety installations, you must have documented inspections that confirm system integrity and compliance standards ahead of each winter season and after any event like a flue fire, lightning strike, or structural change. You need to follow inspection timeframes defined by NFPA 211 and local building codes, ensuring Level I, II, or III evaluations as warranted. A certified technician will evaluate flue system integrity and component performance, clearance requirements, venting systems, and draft. They'll inspect for creosote, obstructions, moisture damage, and improper terminations. You'll obtain a written report with images, problem identification, and repair priorities organized by safety concerns. When required, we coordinate permits and re-inspections to verify conformity. Avoid using the system until safety issues are resolved and confirmed.
