Full-Service Chimney Sweeping Services

Routine chimney maintenance keeps your system safe, efficient, and code-compliant. This helps minimize fire hazards, enhance airflow, and satisfy NFPA 211 standards. A professional sweep inspects accessible components, confirms clearances, and documents deficiencies. We clean chimney surfaces to perform creosote removal according to buildup type, then clean residue with HEPA filtration to manage soot distribution. We remove obstructions, clean the smoke shelf, and confirm damper and cap performance.

We safely manage ash disposal, employing metal containers with secure lids, placed on noncombustible surfaces as per code guidance. We check for dampness, masonry debris, and critter nesting that can impede ventilation. Prior to completion, we perform a smoke path inspection, confirm carbon monoxide alarms, and deliver a written report with service intervals customized to your fuel type and usage requirements.

Fireplace Repair and Restoration Expertise

Whether you're addressing damaged fireplace components or deteriorating masonry, our experienced technicians identify underlying problems and rebuild components to meet NFPA 211 and IRC specifications. Our team assesses thermal damage, water infiltration, and structural movement, then choose suitable refractory materials, stainless fasteners, and noncombustible clearances. You receive professional 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. 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. Final inspections include negative-pressure testing and photo documentation.

Essential Chimney Components: Liners, Caps & Dampers

Following the restoration of fireboxes and smoke chambers to code, it's crucial to implement a flue system that vents safely and efficiently. We examine your flue's specifications, measurements, and system requirements to correctly dimension and place UL-listed liner materials that satisfy NFPA 211 and manufacturer specs. Stainless steel liners are ideal for most wood and gas applications; certain gas-only units can use aluminum; 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 shedding rain and snow from the flue termination. We select ember-blocking screens with anti-corrosion mesh engineered to ensure proper draft.

Our damper solutions provide reliable energy efficiency and draft management. We thoroughly inspect proper sealing, cable positioning, and gasket condition, followed by performance validation with smoke and manometer tests.

Weatherproofing and Leak Detection Services

You can avoid damaging water issues by detecting typical water entry points such as cracked crowns, failed mortar joints, porous masonry, and compromised flashing. We will recommend regulation-meeting flashing and cap upgrades that properly divert water and secure all penetrations to withstand rain and wind. For lasting durability, our experts will implement breathable water-repellent treatments to the outer brickwork per industry standards and NFPA 211 guidelines.

Frequent Chimney Leak Points

Even though rain seems to be the primary cause, most chimney leaks begin at particular problem areas: deteriorated mortar joints, damaged crowns, broken or missing chimney caps, damaged flashing where the chimney connects with the roof, porous masonry without proper waterproofing, and deteriorated flue liners. You'll frequently notice leaks where roof valleys channel runoff toward the chimney, particularly when gutter obstructions push water back under shingles. Temperature fluctuations expand hairline cracks, allowing capillary intrusion that wets interior walls, rusts dampers, and damages fireboxes. Compromised or bare flue tiles can leak water into the smoke chamber. Examine with a top-to-bottom 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 compatible materials to preserve structural integrity and fire safety.

Flashing and Cap Upgrades

Starting at the roof edge downward, water control begins with correctly detailed flashing and a waterproof, building code approved cap. It requires step and counter-flashing incorporated under shingles and into mortar joints, rather than surface caulk. Professional flashing repair includes replacing corroded metal, correcting laps, and tying into the underlayment as per IRC and manufacturer specifications. We carefully reset mortar joints where reglets are cut, then we install kick-out diverters to direct runoff clear of the chimney.

For the upper section, upgrade to stainless toppers matching the flue(s) and crown, with screening for birds and sparks that complies with NFPA 211. Stainless resists rust issues prevalent in Georgia's humid climate and acidic flue gases. Ensure the cap's edge diverts moisture away from the crown edge and fastens securely, beyond simple sealant application, to preserve structural integrity and minimize water infiltration.

Sealant Applications for Waterproofing

Targeted waterproofing starts with a thorough leak assessment, featuring water and dye testing, moisture level testing, and assessment of masonry elements, joints, and crown conditions. First verify active pathways, then choose materials appropriate to substrate and exposure. Prioritize surface conditioning: pressure-wash, treat efflorescence, repair cracks, restore failing mortar to ASTM C270, and allow proper dry times. Install 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 intersections for movement tolerance. Protect flashing terminations and minor voids with UV-stable silicone sealant, tooling it to shed water. Perform 2-3 wet-on-wet passes, confirm coverage rates, and observe cure windows. Record before/after moisture readings and arrange reinspection after major storms.

Code Compliance and Safety Inspections

Because fireplaces and chimneys are critical safety systems, you need documented inspections that validate safety parameters and regulatory adherence prior to every heating period and after any event like fire damage, structural alterations, or lightning events. You should follow inspection schedules outlined in NFPA 211 and local building codes, securing Level I, II, or III evaluations as necessary. A certified technician will evaluate flue system integrity and component performance, combustible clearances, gas appliance venting, and draft. They'll check for buildup, blockages, water damage, and incorrect vent endings. You'll receive a written report with images, problem identification, and repair priorities organized by safety concerns. When necessary, we manage permits and re-inspections to verify conformity. Do not use the system until dangerous situations are remedied and checked.
