Full-Service Chimney Sweeping Expertise
Routine chimney sweeping keeps your system safe, efficient, and code-compliant. You'll reduce fire risk, improve draft, and meet NFPA 211 guidelines. A certified sweep inspects accessible components, verifies spacing, and notes problems. We clean chimney surfaces to conduct creosote removal according to buildup type, then clean residue with HEPA filtration to prevent soot spread. We eliminate clogs, sweep the smoke shelf, and verify damper and cap function.
We safely manage ash disposal, utilizing metal containers with well-sealed lids, placed on noncombustible surfaces following code guidance. We check for water penetration, masonry debris, and animal nesting that may restrict ventilation. Before finalizing, we execute a smoke path assessment, verify carbon monoxide alarms, and deliver a written report with service intervals customized to your fuel choice and consumption habits.
Expert Fireplace Repair and Restoration
When dealing with damaged fireplace components or deteriorating masonry, our skilled technicians diagnose the root causes and implement repairs to comply with NFPA 211 and IRC specifications. We thoroughly examine thermal damage, water infiltration, and structural movement, then choose compatible materials and components that meet safety standards. Our service includes expert chimney and fireplace restoration services that improve functionality and protection.
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
Once we restore smoke chambers and fireboxes to code, it's crucial to implement a flue system that vents safely and efficiently. We assess your flue's configuration, alignment, and heating requirements to properly fit and mount 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 options stabilize compromised masonry. We insulate as required to maintain flue gas temperatures and clearance-to-combustibles.
Well-designed chimney caps prevent animals and burning embers from entering while directing rain and snow away from the flue termination. We choose protective screens with corrosion-resistant mesh engineered to preserve draft.
Damper systems deliver reliable draft control and energy savings. We thoroughly inspect complete sealing, cable setup, and gasket functionality, then document performance with smoke and manometer tests.
Professional Leak Detection & Weatherproofing
You can avoid damaging water issues by pinpointing frequent moisture problems such as damaged chimney crowns, deteriorating mortar, permeable brickwork, and faulty flashing. We'll specify building code approved flashing system enhancements that properly divert water and safeguard all entry points to withstand rain and wind. For long-term protection, we'll apply moisture-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 begin at specific failure points: worn mortar joints, broken crowns, broken or missing chimney caps, damaged flashing where the chimney joins the roof, unsealed masonry lacking water protection, and deteriorated flue liners. You'll often observe leaks where roof valleys concentrate runoff toward the chimney, especially when gutter clogs drive water back under shingles. Freeze-thaw cycles enlarge hairline cracks, permitting capillary intrusion that moistens interior walls, rusts dampers, and deteriorates fireboxes. Damaged or unlined flue tiles can leak water into the smoke chamber. Examine 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 preserve structural integrity and fire safety.
Flashing and Cap Upgrades
From the roofline downward, water control commences with properly installed flashing and a waterproof, building code approved cap. This demands step and counter-flashing incorporated under shingles and into mortar joints, instead of surface caulk. Professional flashing restoration involves replacing corroded metal, fixing laps, and tying into the underlayment according to IRC and manufacturer requirements. We professionally reset mortar joints where reglets are cut, after which we position kick-out diverters to direct runoff away from the chimney.
On the chimney top, switch to stainless caps fitted for the flue(s) and crown, with bird- and spark-screening that satisfies NFPA 211. Stainless resists deterioration typical of Georgia's humid climate and acidic flue gases. Verify the cap's rim channels water away from the crown edge and attaches firmly, using more than just sealant, to preserve structural integrity and minimize water infiltration.
Applications of Waterproofing Sealants
Effective waterproofing commences after a thorough leak investigation, including hose and dye analysis, moisture level testing, and assessment of structural joints, crowns, and masonry absorption. You'll confirm active leak routes, then select materials suited to substrate and exposure. Emphasize surface conditioning: power-clean, treat efflorescence, fix cracks, renew failing mortar to ASTM C270, and provide proper dry times. Apply a breathable silane/siloxane water repellent to vertical masonry to shed 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 direct water. Perform 2-3 wet-on-wet passes, verify coverage rates, and follow cure windows. Document before/after moisture readings and plan reinspection after major storms.
Safety Standards and Regulatory Compliance
Given that fireplaces and chimneys function as life-safety components, you require documented inspections that verify system integrity and compliance standards before each heating season and subsequent to occurrences like a flue fire, lightning strike, or structural change. You should follow inspection intervals specified in NFPA 211 and local building codes, guaranteeing Level I, II, or III evaluations as necessary. A certified technician will examine flue system integrity and component performance, safety clearances, venting systems, and draft. They'll check for creosote accumulation, blockages, water issues, and faulty termination points. You'll obtain a written report with documentation, issue classification, and recommended fixes arranged by safety importance. When needed, we manage permits and re-inspections to confirm adherence. Avoid using the system until hazardous conditions are corrected and verified.
