Complete Chimney Cleaning Services

Regular chimney maintenance keeps your system safe, efficient, and code-compliant. You can lower fire danger, better ventilation, and comply with NFPA 211 standards. A professional sweep inspects accessible components, confirms clearances, and notes problems. We brush flue walls to conduct creosote removal according to buildup type, then remove debris with HEPA filtration to prevent soot spread. We eliminate clogs, clear the smoke shelf, and verify damper and cap operation.

We safely manage ash disposal, employing metal containers with well-sealed lids, stationed on noncombustible surfaces in accordance with code guidance. We examine for dampness, masonry debris, and pest habitation that may restrict ventilation. Prior to completion, we execute a smoke path check, confirm carbon monoxide alarms, and deliver a written report with maintenance schedules customized to your fuel type and usage requirements.

Fireplace Repair and Restoration Expertise

If you're facing cracked firebrick, warped dampers, or spalling masonry, our experienced technicians determine the source of issues and restore functionality to meet NFPA 211 and IRC requirements. Our team assesses heat stress, moisture intrusion, and settlement, then select compatible materials and components that meet safety standards. We provide professional comprehensive repair and restoration work that optimize safety and efficiency.

We document deficiencies, perform load-path and hearth support checks, and verify 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. 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.

Essential Chimney Components: Liners, Caps & Dampers

Once we restore chimney fireboxes and smoke chambers to code, it's crucial to implement 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 meet NFPA 211 and manufacturer specs. Stainless steel liners are ideal for most wood and gas applications; aluminum is suitable for select gas-only systems; cast-in-place alternatives help strengthen weakened masonry. We insulate as required to maintain flue gas temperatures and clearance-to-combustibles.

Proper chimney caps prevent animals and burning embers from entering while directing precipitation from the flue termination. We choose spark-arresting screens with anti-corrosion mesh sized to preserve draft.

Damper systems deliver reliable draft control and energy savings. We thoroughly inspect complete sealing, cable setup, and gasket functionality, then document performance through comprehensive smoke and pressure testing.

Weatherproofing and Leak Detection Services

You will eliminate expensive water-related problems by pinpointing common leak sources such as cracked crowns, failed mortar joints, porous masonry, and compromised flashing. Our team will detail code-compliant cap and flashing improvements that shed water correctly and secure all penetrations to withstand rain and wind. For lasting durability, our experts will implement vapor-permeable siloxane/silane waterproofing sealants to the outer brickwork per industry standards and NFPA 211 guidelines.

Typical Chimney Water Entry Points

Although rain is the obvious culprit, most chimney leaks begin at specific failure points: deteriorated mortar joints, damaged crowns, missing or damaged chimney caps, failed flashing where the chimney connects with the roof, porous masonry without proper waterproofing, and damaged flue liners. You'll commonly find leaks where roof valleys direct runoff toward the chimney, especially when gutter obstructions drive water back under shingles. Temperature fluctuations widen hairline cracks, allowing capillary intrusion that moistens interior walls, oxidizes dampers, and deteriorates fireboxes. Damaged or unlined flue tiles can release water into the smoke chamber. Inspect 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 suitable materials to preserve structural integrity and fire safety.

Flashing and Cap Upgrades

Starting at the roof edge down, leak prevention commences with well-designed flashing and a weather-tight, building code approved cap. You need step and counter-flashing integrated under shingles and into mortar joints, instead of surface caulk. Proper flashing repair includes replacing corroded metal, correcting laps, and connecting into the underlayment according to IRC and manufacturer guidelines. We carefully reset mortar joints where reglets are cut, then we install kick-out diverters to channel runoff from the chimney.

For the upper section, install stainless caps sized to the chimney opening and crown, with protective screening that satisfies NFPA 211. Stainless steel withstands deterioration typical of Georgia's humid climate and acidic flue gases. Verify the cap's rim sheds water away from the crown edge and anchors mechanically, using more than just sealant, to preserve structural integrity and reduce leak pathways.

Applications of Waterproofing Sealants

Targeted waterproofing starts after an in-depth leak assessment, including hose and dye analysis, moisture meter readings, and assessment of masonry elements, joints, and crown conditions. Identify active pathways, then select materials suited to substrate and exposure. Emphasize surface preparation: pressure-clean, eliminate efflorescence, repair cracks, renew failing mortar to ASTM C270, and allow proper dry times. Apply 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 joints for flexibility. 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 observe cure windows. Log before/after moisture readings and schedule reinspection after major storms.

Safety Inspections and Code Compliance

Since fireplaces and chimneys function as life-safety components, you must have documented inspections that verify system integrity and compliance standards ahead of each winter season and subsequent to occurrences like a flue fire, lightning strike, or structural change. You need to follow inspection intervals outlined in NFPA 211 and local building codes, ensuring Level I, II, or III evaluations as warranted. A certified technician will assess flue system integrity and component performance, combustible clearances, venting systems, and draft. They'll check for creosote accumulation, blockages, water issues, and incorrect vent endings. You'll receive a written report with photos, defect categorization, and corrective actions prioritized for safety. When necessary, we coordinate permits and re-inspections to document compliance. Avoid using the system until hazardous conditions are corrected and verified.
