Complete Chimney Cleaning Solutions
Regular chimney sweeping ensures your system stays safe, efficient, and up to code. You can lower fire danger, better ventilation, and comply with NFPA 211 standards. A qualified sweep inspects accessible components, confirms clearances, and notes problems. We brush flue walls to execute creosote removal appropriate to its stage, then vacuum particulates with HEPA filtration to prevent soot distribution. We clear blockages, clean the smoke shelf, and check damper and cap operation.
We safely manage ash disposal, utilizing metal containers with tight-fitting lids, cooled on noncombustible surfaces in accordance with code guidance. We inspect for dampness, masonry debris, and animal nesting that could block ventilation. Before concluding, we perform a smoke path assessment, validate carbon monoxide alarms, and deliver a written report with service intervals customized to your specific fuel type and usage patterns.
Expert Fireplace Repair and Restoration
If you're facing structural issues in your fireplace or chimney, our skilled technicians determine the source of issues and rebuild components to meet NFPA 211 and IRC specifications. Our team assesses heat stress, moisture intrusion, and settlement, then choose compatible materials and components that meet safety standards. We provide expert chimney and fireplace restoration services that improve safety and efficiency.
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. Our final inspection process combines negative-pressure testing with detailed photo documentation.
Chimney Systems: Relining, Caps & Damper Solutions
After restoring chimney fireboxes and smoke chambers to code, you need a flue system that vents safely and efficiently. We evaluate your flue's dimensions, offsets, and appliance input to properly fit and mount UL-listed liner materials that satisfy NFPA 211 and manufacturer specs. Stainless steel liners are ideal for most wood and gas applications; aluminum is suitable for select gas-only systems; damaged masonry can be reinforced with cast-in-place solutions. We add necessary insulation to maintain flue gas temperatures and clearance-to-combustibles.
Well-designed chimney caps prevent wildlife intrusion and spark escape while shedding precipitation from the flue termination. We select ember-blocking screens with anti-corrosion mesh sized to preserve draft.
Top-sealing and throat dampers offer consistent climate control and energy conservation. We thoroughly inspect airtight closure, cable alignment, and gasket integrity, and record results using smoke testing and pressure measurements.
Weatherproofing and Leak Detection Services
You'll prevent costly moisture damage by detecting frequent moisture problems such as broken crown caps, worn mortar, absorbent masonry, and defective flashing. We'll specify code-compliant flashing and cap upgrades that shed water correctly and protect all openings to prevent weather infiltration. For long-term protection, we'll apply vapor-permeable water-repellent treatments 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 begin at common trouble spots: damaged mortar joints, cracked crowns, missing or damaged chimney caps, compromised flashing where the chimney meets the roof, porous masonry without proper waterproofing, 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. Freeze-thaw cycles widen hairline cracks, enabling capillary intrusion that wets interior walls, oxidizes dampers, and degrades fireboxes. Damaged or unlined flue tiles can leak water into the smoke chamber. Conduct an inspection with a systematic approach: examine the cap, crown, joints, brick saturation, and interior moisture staining. Document all findings per NFPA 211 levels of inspection and fix defects with appropriate materials to maintain structural integrity and fire safety.
Flashing & Cap Enhancement Options
From the roofline downward, water control begins with correctly detailed flashing and a weather-tight, building code approved cap. This demands step and counter-flashing installed under shingles and into mortar joints, not just surface caulk. Proper flashing maintenance encompasses removing corroded metal, adjusting laps, and tying into the underlayment following IRC and manufacturer requirements. We carefully reset mortar joints where reglets are cut, following which we install kick-out diverters to direct runoff clear of the chimney.
For the upper section, install stainless caps sized to the chimney opening and crown, with bird- and spark-screening that satisfies NFPA 211. Stainless steel withstands rust issues prevalent in Georgia's humid climate and acidic flue gases. Ensure the cap's skirt diverts moisture past the crown edge and attaches firmly, using more than just sealant, to maintain structural reliability and minimize water infiltration.
Waterproofing Sealant Applications
Targeted waterproofing starts with an in-depth leak evaluation, including water and dye testing, moisture level testing, and examination of crowns, joints, and masonry porosity. First verify active pathways, then pick materials matched to substrate and exposure. Prioritize surface prep: pressure-clean, eliminate efflorescence, repair cracks, restore failing mortar check here to ASTM C270, and provide proper dry times. Install 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. Secure flashing terminations and minor voids with UV-stable silicone sealant, working it to shed water. Perform 2-3 wet-on-wet passes, verify coverage rates, and observe cure windows. Record before/after moisture readings and arrange reinspection after major storms.
Safety Inspections and Code Compliance
Given that fireplaces and chimneys function as life-safety components, you must have documented inspections that confirm condition, clearances, and code compliance before each heating season and following incidents like a flue fire, lightning strike, or structural change. You must follow inspection schedules specified in NFPA 211 and local building codes, securing Level I, II, or III evaluations as necessary. A certified technician will examine chimney structure, liner condition, and cap functionality, safety clearances, ventilation requirements, and draft. They'll inspect for creosote, obstructions, moisture damage, and incorrect vent endings. You'll receive a written report with documentation, issue classification, and recommended fixes organized by safety concerns. When needed, we arrange permits and re-inspections to document compliance. Don't operate the system until dangerous situations are remedied and checked.
