Full-Service Chimney Maintenance Solutions
Periodic chimney sweeping keeps your system safe, efficient, and code-compliant. This helps minimize fire hazards, enhance airflow, and satisfy NFPA 211 recommendations. A professional sweep checks available elements, validates clearance requirements, and notes problems. We scrub flue linings to perform creosote removal according to buildup type, then clean residue with HEPA filtration to control soot distribution. We eliminate clogs, sweep the smoke shelf, and verify damper and cap performance.
We safely manage ash disposal, utilizing metal containers with tight-fitting lids, cooled on noncombustible surfaces as per code guidance. We check for dampness, masonry debris, and critter nesting that could block ventilation. Prior to completion, we execute a smoke path inspection, verify carbon monoxide alarms, and deliver a written report with service intervals tailored to your specific fuel type and usage patterns.
Expert Fireplace Repair and Restoration
If you're facing cracked firebrick, warped dampers, or spalling masonry, our experienced technicians identify underlying problems and restore functionality to comply with NFPA 211 and IRC requirements. Our team assesses heat stress, moisture intrusion, and settlement, then select appropriate materials and components that meet safety standards. You receive professional tuckpointing, firebox rebuilds, damper repairs, and smoke chamber parging that enhance safety and efficiency.
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. Our mortar matching follows ASTM C270 standards, while we repair lintels and ensure proper re-anchoring of surrounds for combustibility compliance. Our final inspection process combines negative-pressure testing with detailed photo documentation.
Chimney Systems: Relining, Caps & Damper Solutions
Once we restore smoke chambers and fireboxes to code, it's essential to have 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 fits some gas-only units; cast-in-place alternatives help strengthen weakened masonry. We provide appropriate insulation to ensure proper flue gas temperatures and safe clearances.
Well-designed chimney caps stop wildlife intrusion and spark escape while channeling precipitation away from the flue termination. We choose protective screens with anti-corrosion mesh engineered to ensure proper draft.
Top-sealing and throat dampers offer reliable energy efficiency and draft management. We thoroughly inspect complete sealing, cable setup, and gasket functionality, and record results with smoke and manometer tests.
Weatherproofing and Leak Detection Services
You'll prevent expensive water-related problems by detecting frequent moisture problems such as cracked crowns, failed mortar joints, porous masonry, and compromised flashing. We'll specify building code approved flashing and cap upgrades that shed water correctly and safeguard all entry points to withstand rain and wind. For enduring defense, we'll apply vapor-permeable siloxane/silane waterproofing sealants to the exterior masonry 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 common trouble spots: worn mortar joints, broken crowns, damaged or absent chimney caps, failed flashing where the chimney joins the roof, permeable masonry missing water repellent, and compromised flue liners. You'll often observe leaks where roof valleys direct runoff toward the chimney, especially when gutter blockages force water back under shingles. Temperature fluctuations enlarge hairline cracks, enabling capillary intrusion that wets interior walls, rusts dampers, and damages fireboxes. Compromised or bare 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 fix defects with appropriate materials to maintain structural integrity and fire safety.
Flashing & Cap Enhancement Options
Beginning with the roof edge down, leak prevention begins with correctly detailed flashing and a weather-tight, regulation-compliant cap. You need step and counter-flashing incorporated under shingles and into mortar joints, not just surface caulk. Professional flashing repair involves removing corroded metal, fixing laps, and integrating into the underlayment as per IRC and manufacturer requirements. We professionally reset mortar joints where reglets are cut, following which we install kick-out diverters to direct runoff from the chimney.
On the chimney top, install stainless caps fitted for the flue(s) and crown, with screening for birds and sparks that complies with NFPA 211. This material prevents rust issues prevalent in Georgia's humid climate and acidic flue gases. Ensure the cap's rim diverts moisture past the crown edge and attaches firmly, using more than just sealant, to preserve structural integrity and prevent moisture entry.
Sealant Applications for Waterproofing
Targeted waterproofing starts after a detailed leak assessment, featuring dye or hose testing, moisture meter readings, and inspection of structural joints, crowns, and masonry absorption. Identify active water paths, then choose materials matched to substrate and exposure. Focus on surface conditioning: pressure-clean, eliminate efflorescence, fix cracks, repoint failing mortar to ASTM C270, and allow proper dry times. Apply a breathable silane/siloxane water repellent to vertical masonry to repel wind-driven rain without trapping vapor. Apply an elastomeric crown coating with reinforcement fabric at joints for flexibility. Protect flashing terminations and minor voids with UV-stable silicone sealant, working it to channel water. Maintain 2-3 wet-on-wet passes, confirm coverage rates, and observe cure windows. Document before/after moisture readings and arrange reinspection after major storms.
Code Compliance and Safety Inspections
Because fireplaces and chimneys are critical safety systems, you require documented inspections that validate safety parameters and regulatory adherence ahead of each winter season and subsequent to occurrences like fire damage, structural alterations, or lightning events. You must follow inspection schedules specified in NFPA 211 and local building codes, securing Level I, II, or III evaluations as warranted. A certified technician will examine flue system integrity and component performance, safety clearances, gas appliance venting, and draft. They'll look for buildup, blockages, water damage, and incorrect vent endings. You'll obtain a written report with images, problem identification, and repair priorities organized by safety concerns. When needed, we arrange permits and re-inspections to verify conformity. Don't operate the system until dangerous situations are remedied and checked.
