Full-Service Chimney Cleaning Expertise

Routine chimney cleaning maintains system safety, efficiency, and code compliance. You'll reduce fire risk, improve draft, and meet NFPA 211 guidelines. A professional sweep checks available elements, confirms clearances, and documents deficiencies. We scrub flue linings to perform creosote removal based on accumulation level, then clean residue with HEPA filtration to manage soot migration. We remove obstructions, clean the smoke shelf, and confirm damper and cap operation.

Our ash disposal process is handled safely, utilizing metal containers with tight-fitting lids, placed on noncombustible surfaces in accordance with code guidance. We inspect for moisture intrusion, masonry debris, and animal nesting that can impede ventilation. Prior to completion, we conduct a smoke path assessment, confirm carbon monoxide alarms, and provide a written report with upkeep intervals tailored to your specific fuel type and usage patterns.

Expert Fireplace Repair and Restoration

Whether you're addressing cracked firebrick, warped dampers, or spalling masonry, our skilled technicians determine the source of issues and implement repairs to satisfy NFPA 211 and IRC requirements. Our team assesses heat stress, moisture intrusion, and settlement, then specify suitable high-quality materials and proper safety clearances. You receive precise tuckpointing, firebox rebuilds, damper repairs, and smoke chamber parging that improve draft performance and safety.

We document deficiencies, perform load-path and hearth support checks, and verify 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. We match mortar with ASTM C270 standards, repair lintels, and re-anchor surrounds to maintain combustibility setbacks. Our final inspection process combines negative-pressure testing with detailed photo documentation.

Chimney Relining, Caps, and Dampers

Once we restore smoke chambers and fireboxes to code, it's crucial to implement a flue system that ensures safe and efficient venting. We assess your flue's dimensions, offsets, and appliance input 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 fits some gas-only units; cast-in-place alternatives help strengthen weakened masonry. We add necessary insulation to ensure proper flue gas temperatures and safe clearances.

Quality chimney caps stop animal entry and ember discharge while directing water clear of the flue termination. We choose protective screens with rust-resistant mesh designed to preserve draft.

Our damper solutions provide reliable draft control and energy savings. Our team checks airtight closure, cable alignment, and gasket integrity, followed by performance validation using smoke testing and pressure measurements.

Leak Detection and Weatherproofing Solutions

You can avoid expensive water-related problems by pinpointing frequent moisture problems such as broken crown caps, worn mortar, absorbent masonry, and defective flashing. Our team will detail building code approved flashing and cap upgrades that effectively channel moisture and safeguard all entry points to prevent weather infiltration. For enduring defense, our experts will implement moisture-permeable water-repellent treatments to the external walls per product specifications and safety regulations.

Typical Chimney Water Entry Points

Although rain is the obvious culprit, most chimney leaks begin at particular problem areas: damaged mortar joints, cracked crowns, damaged or absent chimney caps, failed flashing where the chimney connects with the roof, unsealed masonry lacking water protection, and damaged flue liners. You'll frequently notice leaks where roof valleys concentrate runoff toward the chimney, especially when gutter blockages push water back under shingles. Freezing and thawing enlarge hairline cracks, enabling capillary intrusion that wets interior walls, corrodes dampers, and deteriorates fireboxes. Unlined or damaged flue tiles can release water into the smoke chamber. Examine with a systematic approach: inspect the cap, crown, joints, brick saturation, and interior moisture staining. Document all findings per NFPA 211 levels of inspection and fix defects with appropriate materials to preserve structural integrity and fire safety.

Cap and Flashing Improvements

From the roof perimeter down, water control commences with well-designed flashing and a sealed, building code approved cap. This demands step and counter-flashing incorporated under shingles and into mortar joints, rather than surface caulk. Proper flashing repair encompasses removing corroded metal, fixing laps, and tying into the underlayment as per IRC and manufacturer specifications. Our team reset mortar joints where reglets are cut, then we install kick-out diverters to channel runoff clear of the chimney.

For the upper section, upgrade to stainless caps matching the flue(s) and crown, with protective screening that complies with NFPA 211. This material prevents rust issues prevalent in Georgia's humid climate and acidic flue gases. Ensure the cap's skirt diverts moisture past the crown edge and fastens securely, beyond simple sealant application, to ensure lasting stability and prevent moisture entry.

Waterproofing Sealant Applications

Targeted waterproofing starts with an in-depth leak assessment, including dye or hose testing, humidity measurements, and examination of masonry elements, joints, and crown conditions. You'll confirm active pathways, then select materials suited to material type and exposure level. Prioritize surface prep: pressure-clean, eliminate efflorescence, repair cracks, repoint failing mortar to ASTM C270, and allow proper dry times. Apply a breathable silane/siloxane water repellent to vertical masonry to deflect wind-driven rain without trapping vapor. Install an elastomeric crown coating with reinforcement fabric at connection points for expansion capacity. Protect flashing terminations and minor voids with UV-stable silicone sealant, shaping it to direct water. Maintain 2-3 wet-on-wet passes, check coverage rates, and observe cure windows. Document before/after moisture readings and plan reinspection after major storms.

Safety Standards and Regulatory Compliance

Because fireplaces and chimneys are essential safety installations, you must have documented inspections that validate safety parameters and regulatory adherence before each heating season and subsequent to occurrences like a flue fire, lightning strike, or structural change. You must follow inspection schedules specified in NFPA 211 and local building codes, guaranteeing Level I, II, or III evaluations as warranted. A certified technician will assess chimney structure, liner condition, and cap functionality, clearance requirements, gas appliance venting, and draft. They'll inspect for creosote accumulation, blockages, water issues, and improper terminations. You'll obtain a written report with images, problem identification, and repair priorities organized by safety concerns. When necessary, we manage permits and re-inspections to confirm adherence. Do not use the system until hazardous conditions are corrected and verified.
