Full-Service Chimney Sweeping Services
Routine chimney maintenance keeps your system safe, efficient, and code-compliant. You'll reduce fire risk, improve draft, and meet NFPA 211 recommendations. A certified sweep checks available elements, validates clearance requirements, and notes problems. We scrub flue linings to perform creosote removal based on accumulation level, then clean residue with HEPA filtration to control soot migration. We remove obstructions, sweep the smoke shelf, and confirm damper and cap operation.
Our ash disposal process is handled safely, employing metal containers with tight-fitting lids, stationed on noncombustible surfaces in accordance with code guidance. We inspect for dampness, masonry debris, and animal nesting that may restrict ventilation. Prior to completion, we execute a smoke path inspection, confirm carbon monoxide alarms, and supply a written report with maintenance schedules customized to your fuel choice and consumption habits.
Professional Fireplace Repair and Restoration Services
If you're facing structural issues in your fireplace or chimney, our experienced technicians determine the source of issues and implement repairs to comply with NFPA 211 and IRC specifications. We thoroughly examine heat stress, moisture intrusion, and settlement, then specify compatible refractory materials, stainless fasteners, and noncombustible clearances. Our service includes expert chimney and fireplace restoration services that optimize draft performance and safety.
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. 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 Systems: Relining, Caps & Damper Solutions
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 evaluate your flue's dimensions, offsets, and appliance input to correctly dimension and place UL-listed liner materials that meet NFPA 211 and manufacturer specs. Stainless steel liners suit most wood and gas systems; certain gas-only units can use aluminum; damaged masonry can be reinforced with cast-in-place solutions. We provide appropriate insulation to preserve optimal flue temperatures and required safety clearances.
Quality chimney caps prevent wildlife intrusion and spark escape while directing water from the flue termination. We utilize ember-blocking screens with anti-corrosion mesh sized to maintain draft.
Top-sealing and throat dampers offer reliable energy efficiency and draft management. We verify proper sealing, cable positioning, and gasket condition, and record results through comprehensive smoke and pressure testing.
Weatherproofing and Leak Detection Services
You'll prevent damaging water issues by identifying frequent moisture problems such as broken crown caps, worn mortar, absorbent masonry, and defective flashing. We'll specify building code approved flashing and cap upgrades that shed water correctly and protect all openings to resist wind-driven rain. For enduring defense, our experts will implement breathable siloxane/silane waterproofing sealants to the external walls per industry standards and NFPA 211 guidelines.
Frequent Chimney Leak Points
While rain is often the main issue, most chimney leaks start at particular problem areas: worn mortar joints, damaged crowns, broken or missing chimney caps, damaged flashing where the chimney connects with the roof, permeable masonry missing water repellent, and deteriorated flue liners. You'll commonly find leaks where roof valleys concentrate runoff toward the chimney, especially when gutter obstructions drive water back under shingles. Freezing and thawing expand hairline cracks, allowing capillary intrusion that moistens interior walls, corrodes dampers, and deteriorates fireboxes. Damaged or unlined flue tiles can leak water into the smoke chamber. Examine with a comprehensive approach: inspect the cap, crown, joints, brick saturation, and interior moisture staining. Document all findings per NFPA 211 levels of inspection and repair defects with appropriate materials to maintain structural integrity and fire safety.
Flashing & Cap Enhancement Options
Starting at the roof perimeter down, moisture protection begins with properly installed flashing and a sealed, code-compliant cap. This demands step and counter-flashing integrated under shingles and into mortar joints, rather than surface caulk. Professional flashing repair involves replacing corroded metal, correcting laps, and tying into the underlayment according to IRC and manufacturer guidelines. Our team reset mortar joints where reglets are cut, then we place kick-out diverters to direct runoff away from the chimney.
At the top, upgrade to stainless covers matching the flue(s) and crown, with screening for birds and sparks that satisfies NFPA 211. This material prevents rust issues prevalent in Georgia's humid climate and acidic flue gases. Assure the cap's rim diverts moisture past the crown edge and attaches firmly, not with sealant alone, to maintain structural reliability and prevent moisture entry.
Sealant Applications for Waterproofing
Targeted waterproofing starts following an in-depth leak evaluation, incorporating water and dye testing, humidity measurements, and assessment of crowns, joints, and masonry porosity. You'll confirm active pathways, then pick materials suited to material type and exposure level. Emphasize surface preparation: pressure-wash, eliminate efflorescence, fix cracks, restore failing mortar to ASTM C270, and allow proper dry times. Install a breathable silane/siloxane water repellent to vertical masonry to deflect wind-driven rain without trapping vapor. Apply an elastomeric crown coating with more info reinforcement fabric at joints for flexibility. Protect flashing terminations and minor voids with UV-stable silicone sealant, working it to direct water. Apply 2-3 wet-on-wet passes, check coverage rates, and observe cure windows. Record before/after moisture readings and plan reinspection after major storms.
Safety Standards and Regulatory Compliance
Given that fireplaces and chimneys are essential safety installations, you must have documented inspections that validate system integrity and compliance standards prior to every heating period and subsequent to occurrences like fire damage, structural alterations, or lightning events. You must follow inspection schedules outlined in NFPA 211 and local building codes, ensuring Level I, II, or III evaluations as required. A certified technician will examine chimney structure, liner condition, and cap functionality, combustible clearances, gas appliance venting, and draft. They'll look for buildup, blockages, water damage, and improper terminations. You'll receive a written report with images, problem identification, and repair priorities prioritized for safety. When needed, we coordinate permits and re-inspections to confirm adherence. Do not use the system until safety issues are resolved and confirmed.
