Full-Service Chimney Sweeping Expertise
Periodic chimney maintenance ensures your system stays safe, efficient, and up to code. You'll reduce fire risk, improve draft, and meet NFPA 211 recommendations. A qualified sweep inspects accessible components, validates clearance requirements, and documents deficiencies. We clean chimney surfaces to conduct creosote removal based on accumulation level, then vacuum particulates with HEPA filtration to prevent soot migration. We remove obstructions, clear the smoke shelf, and check damper and cap function.
Our ash disposal process is handled safely, employing metal containers with secure lids, placed on noncombustible surfaces as per code guidance. We examine for dampness, masonry debris, and pest habitation that could block ventilation. Before finalizing, we conduct a smoke path inspection, verify carbon monoxide alarms, and deliver a written report with upkeep intervals adapted to your fuel choice and consumption habits.
Fireplace Repair and Restoration Expertise
Whether you're addressing cracked firebrick, warped dampers, or spalling masonry, our skilled technicians diagnose the root causes and rebuild components to satisfy NFPA 211 and IRC requirements. We evaluate structural damage, water penetration, and foundation issues, then specify suitable materials and components that meet safety standards. Our service includes expert comprehensive repair and restoration work that improve draft performance and safety.
We assess and document deficiencies while conducting load-path and hearth support inspections, ensuring proper ember and spark containment. If you own a period home, we stabilize historic mantels, conserve ornate tilework, and integrate discreet steel reinforcement without altering character. 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
Following the restoration of smoke chambers and fireboxes to code, you need a flue system that ensures safe and efficient venting. We evaluate your flue's specifications, measurements, and system requirements to properly fit and mount UL-listed liner materials that meet NFPA 211 and manufacturer specs. Stainless steel liners are ideal for most wood and gas applications; aluminum fits some gas-only units; cast-in-place alternatives help strengthen weakened masonry. We insulate as required to preserve optimal flue temperatures and required safety clearances.
Quality chimney caps block animal entry and ember discharge while shedding rain and snow away from the flue termination. We choose protective screens with corrosion-resistant mesh designed to maintain draft.
Our damper solutions provide consistent draft control and energy savings. Our team checks airtight closure, cable alignment, and gasket integrity, then document performance through comprehensive smoke and pressure testing.
Weatherproofing and Leak Detection Services
You'll prevent costly moisture damage by pinpointing typical water entry points such as broken crown caps, worn mortar, absorbent masonry, and defective flashing. We will recommend regulation-meeting 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 water-repellent treatments to the exterior masonry per industry standards and NFPA 211 guidelines.
Common Sources of Chimney Leaks
While rain is often the main issue, most chimney leaks originate at specific failure points: damaged mortar joints, cracked crowns, broken or missing chimney caps, compromised flashing where the chimney meets the roof, unsealed masonry lacking water protection, and damaged flue liners. You'll frequently notice leaks where roof valleys channel runoff toward the chimney, especially when gutter clogs push water back under shingles. Temperature fluctuations expand hairline cracks, allowing capillary intrusion that moistens interior walls, rusts dampers, and degrades fireboxes. Damaged or unlined flue tiles can release water into the smoke chamber. Examine 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 and Cap Upgrades
From the roof perimeter down, moisture protection commences with well-designed flashing and a sealed, regulation-compliant cap. It requires step and counter-flashing installed under shingles and into mortar joints, rather than surface caulk. Effective flashing restoration encompasses replacing corroded metal, fixing laps, and connecting into the underlayment as per IRC and manufacturer requirements. We professionally reset mortar joints where reglets are cut, following which we position kick-out diverters to route runoff from the chimney.
For the upper section, install stainless toppers sized to the chimney opening and crown, with protective screening that satisfies NFPA 211. Stainless resists corrosion common in Georgia's humid climate and acidic flue gases. Verify the cap's edge channels water past the crown edge and anchors mechanically, beyond simple sealant application, to ensure lasting stability and prevent moisture entry.
Sealant Applications for Waterproofing
A comprehensive waterproofing plan begins with a thorough leak assessment, incorporating water and dye testing, humidity measurements, and inspection of crowns, joints, and masonry porosity. First verify active leak routes, then choose materials appropriate to substrate and exposure. Prioritize surface preparation: pressure-wash, neutralize efflorescence, fix cracks, repoint failing mortar to ASTM C270, and ensure proper dry times. Apply a breathable silane/siloxane water repellent to vertical masonry to deflect wind-driven rain without trapping vapor. Apply 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 channel water. Maintain 2-3 wet-on-wet passes, confirm coverage rates, and respect cure windows. Log before/after moisture readings and arrange reinspection after major storms.
Code Compliance and Safety Inspections
Given that fireplaces and chimneys are critical safety systems, you require documented inspections that validate system integrity and compliance standards before each heating season and after any event like structural modifications, chimney fires, or lightning impacts. You must follow inspection schedules outlined in NFPA 211 and local building codes, guaranteeing Level I, II, or III evaluations as required. A certified technician will examine flue integrity, liner continuity, crown and cap performance, combustible clearances, gas appliance venting, and draft. They'll inspect for creosote accumulation, blockages, water issues, and faulty termination points. You'll get a written report with photos, defect categorization, and corrective actions organized by safety concerns. When required, we manage permits and re-inspections to confirm adherence. Do not use the system until safety issues are resolved and confirmed.
