Professional Chimney Cleaning Solutions

Periodic chimney sweeping maintains system safety, efficiency, and code compliance. You'll reduce fire risk, improve draft, and meet NFPA 211 standards. A certified sweep inspects accessible components, verifies spacing, and records issues. We brush flue walls to perform creosote removal based on accumulation level, then remove debris with HEPA filtration to manage soot distribution. We eliminate clogs, clear the smoke shelf, and check damper and cap function.

We safely manage ash disposal, utilizing metal containers with tight-fitting lids, placed on noncombustible surfaces following code guidance. We inspect for moisture intrusion, masonry debris, and animal nesting that may restrict ventilation. Before finalizing, we execute a smoke path assessment, confirm carbon monoxide alarms, and supply a written report with service intervals customized to your fuel choice and consumption habits.

Expert Fireplace Repair and Restoration

Whether you're addressing damaged fireplace components or deteriorating masonry, our skilled technicians identify underlying problems and restore functionality to meet NFPA 211 and IRC specifications. We evaluate heat stress, moisture intrusion, and settlement, then choose suitable refractory materials, stainless fasteners, and noncombustible clearances. You receive precise comprehensive repair and restoration work that optimize draft performance and safety.

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. Our mortar matching follows ASTM C270 standards, while we repair lintels and ensure proper re-anchoring of surrounds for combustibility compliance. We complete our work with negative-pressure testing and comprehensive 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 evaluate your flue's specifications, measurements, and system requirements to properly fit and mount UL-listed liner materials that meet NFPA 211 and manufacturer specs. Most wood and gas systems work well with stainless steel liners; aluminum is suitable for select gas-only systems; damaged masonry can be reinforced with cast-in-place solutions. We provide appropriate insulation to maintain flue gas temperatures and clearance-to-combustibles.

Quality chimney caps stop wildlife intrusion and spark escape while directing rain and snow clear of the flue termination. We utilize spark-arresting screens with anti-corrosion mesh sized to preserve draft.

Top-sealing and throat dampers offer dependable climate control and energy conservation. Our team checks complete sealing, cable setup, and gasket functionality, and record results using smoke testing and pressure measurements.

Professional Leak Detection & Weatherproofing

You can avoid costly moisture damage by identifying common leak sources such as damaged chimney crowns, deteriorating mortar, permeable brickwork, and faulty flashing. We will recommend code-compliant cap and flashing improvements that effectively channel moisture and safeguard all entry points to resist wind-driven rain. For enduring defense, we will install vapor-permeable water-repellent treatments to the external walls per product specifications and safety regulations.

Frequent Chimney Leak Points

Even though rain seems to be the primary cause, most chimney leaks start at particular problem areas: damaged mortar joints, damaged crowns, broken or missing chimney caps, compromised flashing where the chimney connects with the roof, permeable masonry missing water repellent, and damaged flue liners. You'll frequently notice leaks where roof valleys concentrate runoff toward the chimney, particularly when gutter blockages force water back under shingles. Freeze-thaw cycles enlarge hairline cracks, enabling capillary intrusion that moistens interior walls, rusts dampers, and degrades fireboxes. Unlined or damaged flue tiles can leak water into the smoke chamber. Inspect with a top-to-bottom approach: examine the cap, crown, joints, brick saturation, and interior moisture staining. Document all findings per NFPA 211 levels of inspection and repair defects with compatible materials to protect structural integrity and fire safety.

Flashing and Cap Upgrades

Beginning with the roofline downward, moisture protection commences with correctly detailed flashing and a waterproof, regulation-compliant cap. You need step and counter-flashing installed under shingles and into mortar joints, instead of surface caulk. Proper flashing repair includes switching out corroded metal, adjusting laps, and tying into the underlayment following IRC and manufacturer requirements. Our team reset mortar joints where reglets are cut, then we position kick-out diverters to channel runoff away from the chimney.

For the upper section, install stainless caps matching the flue(s) and crown, with protective screening that satisfies NFPA 211. Stainless steel withstands deterioration typical of Georgia's humid climate and acidic flue gases. Ensure the cap's edge diverts moisture away from the crown edge and fastens securely, not with sealant alone, to maintain structural reliability and minimize water infiltration.

Applications of Waterproofing Sealants

Effective waterproofing commences after an in-depth leak evaluation, incorporating hose and dye analysis, moisture level testing, and inspection of structural joints, crowns, and masonry absorption. First verify active pathways, then select materials matched to substrate and exposure. Emphasize surface prep: power-clean, eliminate efflorescence, repair cracks, renew failing mortar to ASTM C270, and allow proper dry times. Install a breathable silane/siloxane water repellent to vertical masonry to shed wind-driven rain without trapping vapor. Use an elastomeric crown coating with reinforcement fabric at intersections for movement tolerance. Secure flashing terminations and minor voids with UV-stable silicone sealant, tooling it to channel water. Perform 2-3 wet-on-wet passes, check coverage rates, and respect cure windows. Log before/after moisture readings and arrange reinspection after major storms.

Code Requirements and Safety Protocols

Because fireplaces and chimneys are critical safety systems, you must have documented inspections that confirm safety parameters and regulatory adherence before each heating season and following incidents like fire damage, structural alterations, or lightning events. You should follow inspection intervals 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, combustible clearances, ventilation requirements, and draft. They'll look for creosote, obstructions, moisture damage, and incorrect vent endings. You'll receive a written report with documentation, issue classification, and recommended fixes arranged by safety importance. When necessary, we manage permits and re-inspections to confirm adherence. Do not use the system until safety issues are resolved and confirmed.
