Complete Chimney Cleaning Services
Routine chimney sweeping ensures your system stays safe, efficient, and up to code. You can lower fire danger, better ventilation, and comply with NFPA 211 recommendations. A certified sweep examines reachable parts, validates clearance requirements, and records issues. We brush flue walls to conduct creosote removal appropriate to its stage, then vacuum particulates with HEPA filtration to control soot migration. We eliminate clogs, clean the smoke shelf, and confirm damper and cap performance.
Our ash disposal process is handled safely, employing metal containers with tight-fitting lids, cooled on noncombustible surfaces as per code guidance. We check for moisture intrusion, masonry debris, and animal nesting that may restrict ventilation. Before finalizing, we conduct a smoke path check, validate carbon monoxide alarms, and provide a written report with upkeep intervals adapted to your fuel type and usage requirements.
Professional Fireplace Repair and Restoration Services
If you're facing cracked firebrick, warped dampers, or spalling masonry, our certified technicians determine the source of issues and restore functionality to comply with NFPA 211 and IRC requirements. We thoroughly examine heat stress, moisture intrusion, and settlement, then select compatible refractory materials, stainless fasteners, and noncombustible clearances. We provide precise comprehensive repair and restoration work that optimize functionality and protection.
Our inspection process includes documenting deficiencies, checking load-path and hearth support, and confirming 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. We match mortar with ASTM C270 standards, repair lintels, and re-anchor surrounds to maintain combustibility setbacks. Final inspections include negative-pressure testing and photo documentation.
Chimney Relining, Caps, and Dampers
Following the restoration of smoke chambers and fireboxes to code, it's crucial to implement a flue system that provides safe and effective ventilation. We examine 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. Stainless steel liners suit most wood and gas systems; aluminum is suitable for select gas-only systems; damaged masonry can be reinforced with cast-in-place solutions. We insulate as required to ensure proper flue gas temperatures and safe clearances.
Proper chimney caps block animal entry and ember discharge while channeling water from the flue termination. We choose protective screens with anti-corrosion mesh engineered to preserve draft.
Damper systems deliver dependable climate control and energy conservation. We verify complete sealing, cable setup, and gasket functionality, followed by performance validation with smoke and manometer tests.
Weatherproofing and Leak Detection Services
You'll prevent damaging water issues by identifying frequent moisture problems such as cracked crowns, failed mortar joints, porous masonry, and compromised flashing. Our team will detail regulation-meeting cap and flashing improvements that shed water correctly and protect all openings to withstand rain and wind. For long-term protection, we will install breathable siloxane/silane waterproofing sealants to the exterior masonry per product specifications and safety regulations.
Frequent Chimney Leak Points
Although rain is the obvious culprit, most chimney leaks originate at particular problem areas: worn mortar joints, damaged crowns, broken or missing chimney caps, failed flashing where the chimney meets the roof, unsealed masonry lacking water protection, and deteriorated flue liners. You'll commonly find leaks where roof valleys direct runoff toward the chimney, particularly when gutter blockages push water back under shingles. Freezing and thawing enlarge hairline cracks, permitting capillary intrusion that damages interior walls, corrodes dampers, and deteriorates fireboxes. Damaged or unlined flue tiles can release water into the smoke chamber. Inspect with a systematic approach: check the cap, crown, joints, brick saturation, and interior moisture staining. Note observations per NFPA 211 levels of inspection and fix defects with compatible materials to maintain structural integrity and fire safety.
Cap and Flashing Improvements
From the roofline down, leak prevention starts with well-designed flashing and a waterproof, regulation-compliant cap. It requires step and counter-flashing incorporated under shingles and into mortar joints, instead of surface caulk. Proper flashing maintenance involves switching out corroded metal, fixing laps, and connecting into the underlayment according to IRC and manufacturer requirements. Our team reset mortar joints where reglets are cut, after which we position kick-out diverters to channel runoff away from the chimney.
For the upper section, upgrade to stainless toppers matching the flue(s) and crown, with screening for birds and sparks that satisfies NFPA 211. Stainless steel withstands rust issues prevalent in Georgia's humid climate and acidic flue gases. Verify the cap's edge diverts moisture beyond the crown edge and attaches firmly, using more than just sealant, to preserve structural integrity and reduce leak pathways.
Sealant Applications for Waterproofing
A comprehensive waterproofing plan begins following a detailed leak investigation, including hose and dye analysis, moisture level testing, and assessment of masonry elements, joints, and crown conditions. Identify active pathways, then select materials appropriate to surface conditions and environment. Focus on surface preparation: pressure-clean, treat 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 repel wind-driven rain without trapping vapor. Use an elastomeric crown coating with reinforcement fabric at intersections for flexibility. Seal flashing terminations and minor voids with UV-stable silicone sealant, working it to shed water. Apply 2-3 wet-on-wet passes, verify coverage rates, and observe cure windows. Log before/after moisture readings and schedule reinspection after major storms.
Safety Standards and Regulatory Compliance
Since fireplaces and chimneys are critical safety systems, you require documented inspections that confirm safety parameters and regulatory adherence ahead of each winter season and after any event like a flue fire, lightning strike, or structural change. You should follow inspection intervals specified in NFPA 211 and local building codes, securing Level I, II, or III evaluations as warranted. A certified technician will evaluate flue integrity, liner continuity, crown and cap performance, combustible clearances, venting systems, and draft. They'll look for buildup, blockages, water damage, and incorrect vent endings. You'll get a written report with images, problem identification, and repair priorities prioritized for safety. When needed, we manage permits and re-inspections to verify conformity. Avoid using the system until hazardous conditions are corrected and verified.
