Professional Chimney Cleaning Expertise

Regular chimney sweeping ensures your system stays safe, efficient, and up to code. This helps minimize fire hazards, enhance airflow, and satisfy NFPA 211 standards. A certified sweep checks available elements, validates clearance requirements, and documents deficiencies. We clean chimney surfaces to conduct creosote removal appropriate to its stage, then remove debris with HEPA filtration to manage soot distribution. We remove obstructions, sweep the smoke shelf, and confirm damper and cap function.

We safely manage ash disposal, employing metal containers with secure lids, stationed on noncombustible surfaces in accordance with code guidance. We check for dampness, masonry debris, and pest habitation that could block ventilation. Prior to completion, we perform a smoke path check, validate carbon monoxide alarms, and provide a written report with service intervals tailored to your fuel type and usage requirements.

Professional Fireplace Repair and Restoration Services

Whether you're addressing structural issues in your fireplace or chimney, our certified technicians identify underlying problems and restore functionality to meet NFPA 211 and IRC standards. We evaluate heat stress, moisture intrusion, and settlement, then choose appropriate refractory materials, stainless fasteners, and noncombustible clearances. We provide expert comprehensive repair and restoration work that enhance 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 chimney fireboxes and smoke chambers to code, it's essential to have a flue system that ensures safe and efficient venting. We assess your flue's specifications, measurements, and system 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; aluminum is suitable for select gas-only systems; cast-in-place options stabilize compromised masonry. We provide appropriate insulation to ensure proper flue gas temperatures and safe clearances.

Quality chimney caps stop animal entry and ember discharge while directing rain and snow away from the flue termination. We choose spark-arresting screens with anti-corrosion mesh engineered to maintain draft.

Our damper solutions provide reliable draft control and energy savings. We thoroughly inspect complete sealing, cable setup, and gasket functionality, then document performance through comprehensive smoke and pressure testing.

Professional Leak Detection & Weatherproofing

You will eliminate damaging water issues by identifying frequent moisture problems such as damaged chimney crowns, deteriorating mortar, permeable brickwork, and faulty flashing. We will recommend building code approved flashing system enhancements that properly divert water and protect all openings to prevent weather infiltration. For lasting durability, we'll apply moisture-permeable masonry waterproofing solutions to the outer brickwork per manufacturer specs and NFPA 211 best practices.

Frequent Chimney Leak Points

Although rain is the obvious culprit, most chimney leaks begin at common trouble spots: damaged mortar joints, broken crowns, missing or damaged chimney caps, compromised flashing where the chimney meets the roof, permeable masonry missing water repellent, and damaged flue liners. You'll frequently notice leaks where roof valleys direct runoff toward the chimney, particularly when gutter obstructions push water back under shingles. Freezing and thawing expand hairline cracks, enabling capillary intrusion that moistens interior walls, oxidizes dampers, and degrades fireboxes. Compromised or bare flue tiles can release water into the smoke chamber. Inspect with a top-to-bottom approach: inspect the cap, crown, joints, brick saturation, and interior moisture staining. Record conditions per NFPA 211 levels of inspection and fix defects with compatible materials to preserve structural integrity and fire safety.

Flashing and Cap Upgrades

Beginning with the roof perimeter down, leak prevention commences with well-designed flashing and a sealed, building code approved cap. This demands step and counter-flashing integrated under shingles and into mortar joints, instead of surface caulk. Professional flashing maintenance encompasses removing corroded metal, fixing laps, and tying into the underlayment according to IRC and manufacturer specifications. We carefully reset mortar joints where reglets are cut, after which we place kick-out diverters to route runoff from the chimney.

On the chimney top, upgrade to stainless caps sized to the chimney opening and crown, with protective screening that satisfies NFPA 211. This material prevents corrosion common in Georgia's humid climate and acidic flue gases. Verify the cap's skirt diverts moisture beyond the crown edge and anchors mechanically, beyond simple sealant application, to preserve structural integrity and reduce leak pathways.

Applications of Waterproofing Sealants

Targeted waterproofing starts following a thorough leak evaluation, including dye or hose testing, moisture meter readings, and examination of masonry elements, joints, and crown conditions. You'll confirm active leak routes, then choose materials appropriate to surface conditions and environment. Emphasize surface preparation: pressure-clean, treat efflorescence, address cracks, restore 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. Install an elastomeric crown coating with reinforcement fabric at connection points 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 observe cure windows. Record before/after more info moisture readings and arrange reinspection after major storms.

Safety Standards and Regulatory Compliance

Given that fireplaces and chimneys are essential safety installations, you must have documented inspections that validate safety parameters and regulatory adherence before each heating season and after any event like structural modifications, chimney fires, or lightning impacts. You need to follow inspection schedules specified in NFPA 211 and local building codes, securing Level I, II, or III evaluations as required. A certified technician will evaluate chimney structure, liner condition, and cap functionality, safety clearances, gas appliance venting, and draft. They'll check for creosote, obstructions, moisture damage, and improper terminations. You'll receive a written report with documentation, issue classification, and recommended fixes prioritized for safety. When required, we coordinate permits and re-inspections to confirm adherence. Do not use the system until safety issues are resolved and confirmed.
