Professional Chimney Sweeping Expertise

Routine chimney maintenance maintains system safety, efficiency, and code compliance. You can lower fire danger, better ventilation, and comply with NFPA 211 recommendations. A qualified sweep inspects accessible components, validates clearance requirements, and notes problems. We brush flue walls to execute creosote removal appropriate to its stage, then remove debris with HEPA filtration to control soot distribution. We clear blockages, clean the smoke shelf, and confirm damper and cap performance.

Our ash disposal process is handled safely, utilizing metal containers with well-sealed lids, cooled 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 assessment, confirm carbon monoxide alarms, and deliver a written report with upkeep intervals tailored to your fuel type and usage requirements.

Fireplace Repair and Restoration Expertise

If you're facing structural issues in your fireplace or chimney, our certified technicians determine the source of issues and rebuild components to satisfy NFPA 211 and IRC standards. We evaluate thermal damage, water infiltration, and structural movement, then choose suitable materials and components that meet safety standards. Our service includes precise chimney and fireplace restoration services that optimize safety and efficiency.

We document deficiencies, perform load-path and hearth support checks, and verify 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. Our mortar matching follows ASTM C270 standards, while we repair lintels and ensure website 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

Once we restore smoke chambers and fireboxes to code, you need a flue system that vents safely and efficiently. We assess your flue's configuration, alignment, and heating requirements to size and install UL-listed liner materials that meet NFPA 211 and manufacturer specs. Stainless steel liners suit most wood and gas systems; certain gas-only units can use aluminum; damaged masonry can be reinforced with cast-in-place solutions. We provide appropriate insulation to maintain flue gas temperatures and clearance-to-combustibles.

Proper chimney caps block animal entry and ember discharge while directing precipitation from the flue termination. We utilize ember-blocking screens with anti-corrosion mesh sized to preserve draft.

Top-sealing and throat dampers offer consistent climate control and energy conservation. We thoroughly inspect complete sealing, cable setup, and gasket functionality, followed by performance validation using smoke testing and pressure measurements.

Expert Leak Detection and Weather Protection

You can avoid expensive water-related problems by identifying frequent moisture problems such as broken crown caps, worn mortar, absorbent masonry, and defective flashing. We'll specify regulation-meeting cap and flashing improvements that properly divert water and safeguard all entry points to withstand rain and wind. For lasting durability, we'll apply vapor-permeable water-repellent treatments to the external walls per product specifications and safety regulations.

Frequent Chimney Leak Points

Although rain is the obvious culprit, most chimney leaks originate at common trouble spots: worn mortar joints, broken crowns, missing or damaged chimney caps, compromised flashing where the chimney connects with the roof, permeable masonry missing water repellent, and damaged flue liners. You'll often observe leaks where roof valleys channel runoff toward the chimney, notably when gutter blockages force water back under shingles. Freeze-thaw cycles expand hairline cracks, enabling capillary intrusion that damages interior walls, rusts dampers, and deteriorates fireboxes. Unlined or damaged flue tiles can leak water into the smoke chamber. Conduct an inspection with a comprehensive 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 maintain structural integrity and fire safety.

Flashing and Cap Upgrades

From the roof perimeter down, leak prevention starts with correctly detailed flashing and a sealed, regulation-compliant cap. This demands step and counter-flashing installed under shingles and into mortar joints, instead of surface caulk. Effective flashing repair includes removing corroded metal, fixing laps, and connecting into the underlayment following IRC and manufacturer guidelines. Our team reset mortar joints where reglets are cut, then we install kick-out diverters to channel runoff away from the chimney.

For the upper section, switch to stainless caps sized to the flue(s) and crown, with protective screening that satisfies NFPA 211. This material prevents corrosion common in Georgia's humid climate and acidic flue gases. Verify the cap's rim channels water beyond the crown edge and attaches firmly, not with sealant alone, to ensure lasting stability and reduce leak pathways.

Sealant Applications for Waterproofing

A comprehensive waterproofing plan begins with an in-depth leak assessment, featuring hose and dye analysis, humidity measurements, and examination of masonry elements, joints, and crown conditions. Identify active pathways, then choose materials suited to material type and exposure level. Prioritize surface preparation: power-clean, eliminate efflorescence, repair 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. Use an elastomeric crown coating with reinforcement fabric at joints for movement tolerance. Seal flashing terminations and minor voids with UV-stable silicone sealant, tooling it to direct water. Apply 2-3 wet-on-wet passes, confirm coverage rates, and follow cure windows. Log before/after moisture readings and plan reinspection after major storms.

Safety Inspections and Code Compliance

Since fireplaces and chimneys function as life-safety components, you must have documented inspections that confirm condition, clearances, and code compliance prior to every heating period and after any event like a flue fire, lightning strike, or structural change. You should follow inspection intervals specified in NFPA 211 and local building codes, ensuring Level I, II, or III evaluations as required. A certified technician will assess flue system integrity and component performance, safety clearances, venting systems, and draft. They'll check for buildup, blockages, water damage, and improper terminations. You'll get a written report with images, problem identification, and repair priorities prioritized for safety. When needed, we arrange permits and re-inspections to document compliance. Avoid using the system until safety issues are resolved and confirmed.
