Professional Chimney Sweeping Solutions

Periodic chimney cleaning keeps your system safe, efficient, and code-compliant. This helps minimize fire hazards, enhance airflow, and satisfy NFPA 211 recommendations. A certified sweep inspects accessible components, confirms clearances, and records issues. We clean chimney surfaces to conduct creosote removal appropriate to its stage, then remove debris with HEPA filtration to manage soot distribution. We remove obstructions, clear the smoke shelf, and verify damper and cap function.

We safely manage ash disposal, employing metal containers with secure lids, stationed on noncombustible surfaces following code guidance. We inspect for water penetration, masonry debris, and animal nesting that may restrict ventilation. Prior to completion, we conduct a smoke path assessment, verify carbon monoxide alarms, and deliver a written report with upkeep intervals customized to your specific fuel type and usage patterns.

Fireplace Repair and Restoration Expertise

When dealing with structural issues in your fireplace or chimney, our certified technicians identify underlying problems and implement repairs to meet NFPA 211 and IRC standards. We evaluate thermal damage, water infiltration, and structural movement, then choose suitable high-quality materials and proper safety clearances. Our service includes precise chimney and fireplace restoration services that enhance 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. Our final inspection process combines negative-pressure testing with detailed photo documentation.

Chimney Systems: Relining, Caps & Damper Solutions

After restoring fireboxes and smoke chambers to code, you need a flue system that vents safely and efficiently. We evaluate your flue's configuration, alignment, and heating requirements to size and install UL-listed liner materials that satisfy NFPA 211 and manufacturer specs. Most wood and gas systems work well with stainless steel liners; certain gas-only units can use aluminum; cast-in-place alternatives help strengthen weakened masonry. We insulate as required to preserve optimal flue temperatures and required safety clearances.

Proper chimney caps stop animals and burning embers from entering while directing water clear of the flue termination. We select ember-blocking screens with anti-corrosion mesh designed to ensure proper draft.

Our damper solutions provide reliable draft control and energy savings. Our team checks complete sealing, cable setup, and gasket functionality, and record results with smoke and manometer tests.

Professional Leak Detection & Weatherproofing

You can avoid damaging water issues by detecting common leak sources such as damaged chimney crowns, deteriorating mortar, permeable brickwork, and faulty flashing. We'll specify code-compliant cap and flashing improvements that properly divert water and secure all penetrations to withstand rain and wind. For enduring defense, our experts will implement vapor-permeable masonry waterproofing solutions to the outer brickwork per manufacturer specs and NFPA 211 best practices.

Typical Chimney Water Entry Points

While rain is often the main issue, most chimney leaks start at specific failure points: damaged mortar joints, cracked crowns, broken or missing chimney caps, damaged flashing where the chimney joins the roof, permeable masonry missing water repellent, and damaged flue liners. You'll frequently notice leaks where roof valleys direct runoff toward the chimney, notably when gutter blockages drive water back under shingles. Temperature fluctuations widen hairline cracks, allowing capillary intrusion that damages interior walls, rusts dampers, and damages fireboxes. Unlined or damaged flue tiles can release water into the smoke chamber. Conduct an inspection with a systematic 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 compatible materials to protect structural integrity and fire safety.

Flashing & Cap Enhancement Options

Beginning with the roof edge down, leak prevention starts with properly installed flashing and a waterproof, code-compliant cap. You need step and counter-flashing integrated under shingles and into mortar joints, instead of surface caulk. Professional flashing repair involves switching out corroded metal, correcting laps, and tying into the underlayment following IRC and manufacturer specifications. We professionally reset mortar joints where reglets are cut, following which we place kick-out diverters to direct runoff away from the chimney.

For the upper section, upgrade to stainless covers fitted for the chimney opening and crown, with protective screening that complies with NFPA 211. This material prevents rust issues prevalent in Georgia's humid climate and acidic flue gases. Ensure the cap's rim channels water away from the crown edge and anchors mechanically, beyond simple sealant application, to preserve structural integrity and minimize water infiltration.

Sealant Applications for Waterproofing

Targeted waterproofing starts with an in-depth leak assessment, incorporating hose and dye analysis, moisture level testing, and assessment of crowns, joints, and masonry porosity. First verify active leak routes, then pick materials matched to material type and exposure level. Focus on surface prep: pressure-wash, eliminate 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 deflect 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 channel water. Apply 2-3 wet-on-wet passes, confirm coverage rates, and follow cure windows. Log before/after moisture readings and schedule reinspection after major storms.

Code Compliance and Safety Inspections

Given that fireplaces and chimneys are critical safety systems, you must have documented inspections that confirm condition, clearances, and code compliance ahead of each winter season and subsequent to occurrences like fire damage, structural alterations, or lightning events. You need to follow inspection schedules defined by NFPA 211 and local building codes, ensuring Level I, II, or III evaluations as warranted. A certified technician will assess flue integrity, liner continuity, crown and cap performance, combustible clearances, ventilation requirements, and draft. They'll inspect for buildup, blockages, water damage, and faulty termination points. You'll get a written report with documentation, issue classification, and recommended fixes prioritized for safety. When necessary, we manage permits and re-inspections to document compliance. Avoid using the system until dangerous situations are remedied and checked.
