Complete Chimney Cleaning Services

Periodic chimney sweeping 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, verifies spacing, and records issues. We brush flue walls to conduct creosote removal according to buildup type, then vacuum particulates with HEPA filtration to prevent soot spread. We eliminate clogs, sweep the smoke shelf, and verify damper and cap function.

Our ash disposal process is handled safely, employing metal containers with secure lids, cooled on noncombustible surfaces in accordance with code guidance. We check for dampness, masonry debris, and critter nesting that could block ventilation. Before finalizing, we perform a smoke path check, confirm carbon monoxide alarms, and deliver a written report with upkeep intervals customized to your fuel choice and consumption habits.

Professional Fireplace Repair and Restoration Services

When dealing with damaged fireplace components or deteriorating masonry, our certified technicians identify underlying problems and implement repairs to meet NFPA 211 and IRC specifications. Our team assesses structural damage, water penetration, and foundation issues, then specify appropriate high-quality materials and proper safety clearances. We provide professional 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. 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. Final inspections include negative-pressure testing and photo documentation.

Chimney Systems: Relining, Caps & Damper Solutions

Once we restore fireboxes and smoke chambers to code, you need a flue system that vents safely and efficiently. We examine your flue's specifications, measurements, and system requirements to size and install UL-listed liner materials that comply with NFPA 211 and manufacturer specs. Stainless steel liners are ideal for most wood and gas applications; aluminum is suitable for select gas-only systems; cast-in-place alternatives help strengthen weakened masonry. We provide appropriate insulation to preserve optimal flue temperatures and required safety clearances.

Proper chimney caps prevent wildlife intrusion and spark escape while shedding water away from the flue termination. We select protective screens with corrosion-resistant mesh engineered to ensure proper draft.

Our damper solutions provide reliable climate control and energy conservation. We verify proper sealing, cable positioning, and gasket condition, then document performance with smoke and manometer tests.

Leak Detection and Weatherproofing Solutions

You will eliminate damaging water issues 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 secure all penetrations to resist wind-driven rain. For lasting durability, we will install moisture-permeable siloxane/silane waterproofing sealants to the external walls per product specifications and safety regulations.

Main Causes of Chimney Leakage

Even though rain seems to be the primary cause, most chimney leaks originate at specific failure points: damaged mortar joints, damaged crowns, broken or missing chimney caps, damaged flashing where the chimney connects with the roof, porous masonry without proper waterproofing, and deteriorated flue liners. You'll often observe leaks where roof valleys channel runoff toward the chimney, especially when gutter blockages force water back under shingles. Temperature fluctuations expand hairline cracks, enabling capillary intrusion that damages interior walls, corrodes dampers, and damages fireboxes. Damaged or unlined flue tiles can release water into the smoke chamber. Inspect with a top-to-bottom approach: examine 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.

Cap and Flashing Improvements

Beginning with the roofline down, water control begins with properly installed flashing and a weather-tight, code-compliant cap. You need step and counter-flashing installed under shingles and into mortar joints, instead of surface caulk. Professional flashing maintenance includes switching out corroded metal, fixing laps, and integrating into the underlayment as per IRC and manufacturer requirements. Our team reset mortar joints where reglets are cut, after which we install kick-out diverters to route runoff away from the chimney.

For the upper section, switch to stainless caps sized to the vent system and crown, with protective screening that complies with NFPA 211. Stainless resists rust issues prevalent in Georgia's humid climate and acidic flue gases. Ensure the cap's edge sheds water away from the crown edge and attaches firmly, not with sealant alone, to preserve structural integrity and prevent moisture entry.

Waterproofing Sealant Applications

Targeted waterproofing starts after an in-depth leak evaluation, featuring hose and dye analysis, moisture level testing, and inspection of masonry elements, joints, and crown conditions. You'll confirm active leak routes, then pick materials suited to substrate and exposure. Focus on surface conditioning: power-clean, neutralize efflorescence, repair cracks, renew failing mortar to ASTM C270, and ensure 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 connection points for expansion capacity. Protect flashing terminations and minor voids with UV-stable silicone sealant, working it to direct water. Maintain 2-3 wet-on-wet passes, check coverage rates, and observe cure windows. Log before/after moisture readings and schedule reinspection after major storms.

Safety Inspections and Code Compliance

Because fireplaces and chimneys are critical safety systems, you must have documented inspections that confirm condition, clearances, and code compliance before each heating season and following incidents like structural modifications, chimney fires, or lightning impacts. You must follow inspection timeframes specified in NFPA 211 and local building codes, securing Level I, II, or III evaluations as required. A certified technician will assess flue integrity, liner continuity, crown and cap performance, safety clearances, venting systems, and draft. They'll look for creosote, obstructions, moisture damage, and improper terminations. You'll get a written report with images, problem identification, and repair priorities arranged by safety importance. When required, we coordinate permits and re-inspections to confirm adherence. Avoid using the system until safety issues are resolved and confirmed.
