Complete Chimney Cleaning Services
Periodic chimney cleaning keeps your system safe, efficient, and code-compliant. You can lower fire danger, better ventilation, and comply with NFPA 211 recommendations. A professional sweep examines reachable parts, confirms clearances, and documents deficiencies. We clean chimney surfaces to conduct creosote removal according to buildup type, then remove debris with HEPA filtration to prevent soot distribution. We eliminate clogs, clean the smoke shelf, and verify damper and cap operation.
We ensure safe ash disposal, utilizing metal containers with tight-fitting lids, stationed on noncombustible surfaces as per code guidance. We examine for water penetration, masonry debris, and animal nesting that can impede ventilation. Prior to completion, we perform a smoke path inspection, confirm carbon monoxide alarms, and provide a written report with maintenance schedules tailored to your fuel choice and consumption habits.
Expert Fireplace Repair and Restoration
When dealing with structural issues in your fireplace or chimney, our skilled technicians identify underlying problems and restore functionality to comply with NFPA 211 and IRC specifications. We thoroughly examine heat stress, moisture intrusion, and settlement, then choose compatible high-quality materials and proper safety clearances. Our service includes expert tuckpointing, firebox rebuilds, damper repairs, and smoke chamber parging that improve draft performance and safety.
We assess and document deficiencies while conducting load-path and hearth support inspections, ensuring proper 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. 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.
Chimney Systems: Relining, Caps & Damper Solutions
Once we restore chimney fireboxes and smoke chambers to code, it's essential to have a flue system that ensures safe and efficient venting. We examine your flue's configuration, alignment, and heating requirements to correctly dimension and place UL-listed liner materials that satisfy NFPA 211 and manufacturer specs. Stainless steel liners suit most wood and gas systems; certain gas-only units can use aluminum; cast-in-place options stabilize compromised masonry. We insulate as required to maintain flue gas temperatures and clearance-to-combustibles.
Well-designed chimney caps stop animal entry and ember discharge while shedding precipitation clear of the flue termination. We utilize ember-blocking screens with anti-corrosion mesh sized to preserve 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 through comprehensive smoke and pressure testing.
Weatherproofing and Leak Detection Services
You will eliminate damaging water issues by detecting typical water entry points such as cracked crowns, failed mortar joints, porous masonry, and compromised flashing. We will recommend code-compliant cap and flashing improvements that shed water correctly and safeguard all entry points to resist wind-driven rain. For enduring defense, our experts will implement moisture-permeable siloxane/silane waterproofing sealants to the exterior masonry per product specifications and safety regulations.
Main Causes of Chimney Leakage
Although rain is the obvious culprit, most chimney leaks begin at specific failure points: deteriorated mortar joints, cracked crowns, broken or missing chimney caps, damaged flashing where the chimney connects with the roof, unsealed masonry lacking water protection, and damaged flue liners. You'll often observe leaks where roof valleys channel runoff toward the website chimney, especially when gutter blockages push water back under shingles. Temperature fluctuations expand hairline cracks, enabling capillary intrusion that damages interior walls, corrodes dampers, and degrades fireboxes. Damaged or unlined flue tiles can release water into the smoke chamber. Inspect with a systematic approach: examine the cap, crown, joints, brick saturation, and interior moisture staining. Note observations per NFPA 211 levels of inspection and repair defects with appropriate materials to preserve structural integrity and fire safety.
Cap and Flashing Improvements
From the roof perimeter down, moisture protection begins with well-designed flashing and a weather-tight, regulation-compliant cap. This demands step and counter-flashing incorporated under shingles and into mortar joints, not just surface caulk. Proper flashing restoration encompasses switching out corroded metal, fixing laps, and integrating into the underlayment as per IRC and manufacturer specifications. We professionally reset mortar joints where reglets are cut, after which we install kick-out diverters to channel runoff away from the chimney.
At the top, switch to 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 beyond the crown edge and fastens securely, beyond simple sealant application, to preserve structural integrity and prevent moisture entry.
Waterproofing Sealant Applications
Effective waterproofing commences with a thorough leak assessment, including dye or hose testing, moisture level testing, and examination of masonry elements, joints, and crown conditions. You'll confirm active pathways, then choose materials matched to surface conditions and environment. Focus on surface conditioning: pressure-wash, treat efflorescence, repair cracks, repoint failing mortar to ASTM C270, and allow proper dry times. Use a breathable silane/siloxane water repellent to vertical masonry to shed wind-driven rain without trapping vapor. Apply 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 channel water. Maintain 2-3 wet-on-wet passes, check coverage rates, and follow cure windows. Document before/after moisture readings and plan reinspection after major storms.
Code Compliance and Safety Inspections
Given that fireplaces and chimneys function as life-safety components, you must have documented inspections that confirm safety parameters and regulatory adherence before each heating season and following incidents like a flue fire, lightning strike, or structural change. You need to follow inspection timeframes specified in NFPA 211 and local building codes, ensuring Level I, II, or III evaluations as warranted. A certified technician will evaluate chimney structure, liner condition, and cap functionality, safety clearances, ventilation requirements, and draft. They'll inspect for creosote, obstructions, moisture damage, and incorrect vent endings. You'll obtain a written report with images, problem identification, and repair priorities arranged by safety importance. When necessary, we coordinate permits and re-inspections to document compliance. Do not use the system until safety issues are resolved and confirmed.
