Full-Service Chimney Cleaning Expertise
Routine 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 certified sweep examines reachable parts, verifies spacing, and records issues. We brush flue walls to conduct creosote removal according to buildup type, then clean residue with HEPA filtration to prevent soot migration. We eliminate clogs, clean the smoke shelf, and check damper and cap performance.
Our ash disposal process is handled safely, utilizing metal containers with secure lids, cooled on noncombustible surfaces following code guidance. We examine for water penetration, masonry debris, and critter nesting that could block ventilation. Prior to completion, we perform a smoke path inspection, validate carbon monoxide alarms, and deliver a written report with maintenance schedules customized to your specific fuel type and usage patterns.
Fireplace Repair and Restoration Expertise
When dealing with damaged fireplace components or deteriorating masonry, our skilled technicians diagnose the root causes and rebuild components to meet NFPA 211 and IRC standards. We thoroughly examine heat stress, moisture intrusion, and settlement, then choose appropriate high-quality materials and proper safety clearances. You receive precise comprehensive repair and restoration work that improve functionality and protection.
We assess and document deficiencies while conducting load-path and hearth support inspections, ensuring proper 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 Systems: Relining, Caps & Damper Solutions
Once we restore chimney fireboxes and smoke chambers to code, you need a flue system that vents safely and efficiently. We evaluate your flue's specifications, measurements, and system requirements to size and install UL-listed liner materials that comply with 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 alternatives help strengthen weakened masonry. We provide appropriate insulation to preserve optimal flue temperatures and required safety clearances.
Quality chimney caps stop animal entry and ember discharge while channeling rain and snow from the flue termination. We utilize spark-arresting screens with rust-resistant mesh sized to maintain draft.
Our damper solutions provide reliable energy efficiency and draft management. We verify complete sealing, cable setup, and gasket functionality, and record results through comprehensive smoke and pressure testing.
Expert Leak Detection and Weather Protection
You can avoid damaging water issues by detecting common leak sources such as broken crown caps, worn mortar, absorbent masonry, and defective flashing. Our team will detail building code approved flashing system enhancements that properly divert water and protect all openings to prevent weather infiltration. For enduring defense, our experts will implement vapor-permeable siloxane/silane waterproofing sealants to the external walls per industry standards and NFPA 211 guidelines.
Main Causes of Chimney Leakage
Although rain is the obvious culprit, most chimney leaks begin at particular problem areas: damaged mortar joints, cracked crowns, broken or missing chimney caps, failed flashing where the chimney joins the roof, porous masonry without proper waterproofing, and compromised flue liners. You'll commonly find leaks where roof valleys channel runoff toward the chimney, especially when gutter clogs drive water back under shingles. Freezing and thawing expand hairline cracks, allowing capillary intrusion that damages interior walls, corrodes dampers, and degrades fireboxes. Unlined or damaged flue tiles can leak 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 correct defects with compatible materials to maintain structural integrity and fire safety.
Cap and Flashing Improvements
Starting at the roofline downward, leak prevention begins with well-designed flashing and a sealed, regulation-compliant cap. This demands step and counter-flashing incorporated under shingles and into mortar joints, instead of surface caulk. Effective flashing restoration includes switching out corroded metal, fixing laps, and tying into the underlayment following IRC and manufacturer guidelines. We professionally reset mortar joints where reglets are cut, after which we install kick-out diverters to route runoff away from the chimney.
At the top, install stainless caps sized to the vent system and crown, with protective screening that meets NFPA 211. Stainless steel withstands corrosion common in Georgia's humid climate and acidic flue gases. Ensure the cap's edge diverts moisture past the crown edge and fastens securely, using more than just sealant, to maintain structural reliability and minimize water infiltration.
Waterproofing Sealant Applications
Effective waterproofing commences after a detailed leak evaluation, incorporating water and dye testing, humidity measurements, and examination of crowns, joints, and masonry porosity. You'll confirm active pathways, then pick materials suited to surface conditions and environment. Prioritize surface preparation: pressure-clean, neutralize efflorescence, fix cracks, restore 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. Use an elastomeric crown coating with reinforcement fabric at connection points for movement tolerance. Secure flashing terminations and minor voids with UV-stable silicone sealant, working it to direct water. Apply 2-3 wet-on-wet passes, check coverage rates, and observe cure windows. Log before/after moisture readings and arrange reinspection after major storms.
Code Compliance and Safety Inspections
Because fireplaces and chimneys are essential safety installations, you need documented inspections that verify safety parameters and regulatory adherence ahead of each winter season and following incidents like fire damage, structural alterations, or lightning events. You need to follow inspection intervals outlined in NFPA 211 and local building codes, guaranteeing Level I, II, or III evaluations as required. A certified technician will examine chimney structure, liner condition, and cap functionality, safety clearances, venting systems, and draft. They'll inspect for buildup, blockages, water damage, and faulty termination points. You'll receive a written report with images, problem identification, and repair priorities organized by safety concerns. When needed, we coordinate permits and re-inspections to verify conformity. Do not use the system until hazardous conditions are corrected and verified.
