Complete Chimney Sweeping Expertise

Periodic chimney cleaning maintains system safety, efficiency, and code compliance. This helps minimize fire hazards, enhance airflow, and satisfy NFPA 211 guidelines. A certified sweep inspects accessible components, verifies spacing, and notes problems. We clean chimney surfaces to execute creosote removal based on accumulation level, then clean residue with HEPA filtration to manage soot distribution. We remove obstructions, clear the smoke shelf, and confirm damper and cap performance.

We safely manage ash disposal, using metal containers with well-sealed lids, placed on noncombustible surfaces as per code guidance. We check for dampness, masonry debris, and animal nesting that could block ventilation. Prior to completion, we conduct a smoke path inspection, confirm carbon monoxide alarms, and provide a written report with upkeep intervals customized to your fuel choice and consumption habits.

Fireplace Repair and Restoration Expertise

If you're facing cracked firebrick, warped dampers, or spalling masonry, our skilled technicians determine the source of issues and restore functionality to satisfy NFPA 211 and IRC requirements. Our team assesses thermal damage, water infiltration, and structural movement, then choose appropriate materials and components that meet safety standards. Our service includes precise chimney and fireplace restoration services that optimize draft performance and safety.

Our inspection process includes documenting deficiencies, checking load-path and hearth support, and confirming 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. We match mortar with ASTM C270 standards, repair lintels, and re-anchor surrounds to maintain combustibility setbacks. We complete our work with negative-pressure testing and comprehensive photo documentation.

Essential Chimney Components: Liners, Caps & Dampers

Following the restoration of chimney fireboxes and smoke chambers to code, it's essential to have a flue system that vents safely and efficiently. We evaluate your flue's dimensions, offsets, and appliance input to correctly dimension and place 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 options stabilize compromised masonry. We add necessary insulation to preserve optimal flue temperatures and required safety clearances.

Proper chimney caps block wildlife intrusion and spark escape while directing precipitation from the flue termination. We select ember-blocking screens with rust-resistant mesh designed to preserve draft.

Top-sealing and throat dampers offer reliable draft control and energy savings. We verify proper sealing, cable positioning, and gasket condition, then document performance using smoke testing and pressure measurements.

Weatherproofing and Leak Detection Services

You'll prevent damaging water issues by detecting common leak sources such as damaged chimney crowns, deteriorating mortar, permeable brickwork, and faulty flashing. Our team will detail code-compliant cap and flashing improvements that effectively channel moisture and safeguard all entry points to withstand rain and wind. For long-term protection, we will install vapor-permeable siloxane/silane waterproofing sealants to the outer brickwork per product specifications and safety regulations.

Main Causes of Chimney Leakage

While rain is often the main issue, most chimney leaks originate at particular problem areas: damaged mortar joints, broken crowns, damaged or absent chimney caps, failed flashing where the chimney meets the roof, unsealed masonry lacking water protection, and deteriorated flue liners. You'll commonly find leaks where roof valleys direct runoff toward the chimney, especially when gutter clogs force water back under shingles. Freezing and thawing widen hairline cracks, allowing capillary intrusion that wets interior walls, rusts dampers, and deteriorates fireboxes. Damaged or unlined flue tiles can shed water into the smoke chamber. Inspect with a comprehensive approach: check 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 protect structural integrity and fire safety.

Flashing and Cap Upgrades

From the roof edge downward, moisture protection starts with correctly detailed flashing and a weather-tight, code-compliant cap. This demands step and counter-flashing installed under shingles and into mortar joints, not just surface caulk. Proper flashing maintenance includes removing corroded metal, fixing laps, and connecting into the underlayment as per IRC and manufacturer specifications. Our team reset mortar joints where reglets are cut, following which we install kick-out diverters to channel runoff from the chimney.

For the upper section, install stainless covers sized to the chimney opening and crown, with bird- and spark-screening that satisfies NFPA 211. This material prevents corrosion common in Georgia's humid climate and acidic flue gases. Ensure the cap's skirt channels water past the crown edge and fastens securely, beyond simple sealant application, to ensure lasting stability and minimize water infiltration.

Applications of Waterproofing Sealants

A comprehensive waterproofing plan begins with a thorough leak evaluation, including hose and dye analysis, moisture meter readings, and assessment of crowns, joints, and masonry porosity. First verify active water paths, then pick materials matched to surface conditions and environment. Emphasize surface conditioning: pressure-clean, neutralize efflorescence, repair cracks, repoint failing mortar to ASTM C270, and provide proper dry times. Install a breathable silane/siloxane water repellent to vertical masonry to repel wind-driven rain without trapping vapor. Install an elastomeric crown coating with reinforcement fabric at joints for flexibility. Secure flashing terminations and minor voids with UV-stable silicone sealant, tooling it to shed water. Perform 2-3 wet-on-wet passes, verify coverage rates, and follow cure windows. Document before/after moisture readings and schedule reinspection after major storms.

Safety Standards and Regulatory Compliance

Since fireplaces and chimneys are essential safety installations, you need documented inspections that confirm safety parameters and regulatory adherence before each heating season and subsequent to occurrences like structural modifications, chimney fires, or lightning impacts. You need to follow inspection schedules defined by NFPA 211 and local building codes, ensuring Level I, II, or III evaluations as necessary. A certified technician will assess flue integrity, liner continuity, crown and cap performance, clearance requirements, venting systems, and draft. They'll check for creosote, obstructions, moisture damage, and faulty termination points. You'll receive a written report with photos, defect categorization, and corrective actions organized by safety concerns. When needed, we manage permits and re-inspections to verify conformity. Avoid using the system until hazardous conditions are corrected and verified.
