Comprehensive Chimney Cleaning Services
Regular chimney cleaning keeps your system safe, efficient, and code-compliant. This helps minimize fire hazards, enhance airflow, and satisfy NFPA 211 recommendations. A professional sweep examines reachable parts, validates clearance requirements, and records issues. We scrub flue linings to execute creosote removal appropriate to its stage, then remove debris with HEPA filtration to manage soot spread. We remove obstructions, clean the smoke shelf, and confirm damper and cap performance.
We safely manage ash disposal, employing metal containers with well-sealed lids, cooled on noncombustible surfaces as per code guidance. We check for moisture intrusion, masonry debris, and pest habitation that could block ventilation. Before concluding, we execute a smoke path check, confirm carbon monoxide alarms, and deliver a written report with service intervals tailored to your fuel type and usage requirements.
Professional Fireplace Repair and Restoration Services
If you're facing structural issues in your fireplace or chimney, our experienced technicians determine the source of issues and implement repairs to meet NFPA 211 and IRC requirements. Our team assesses thermal damage, water infiltration, and structural movement, then select appropriate refractory materials, stainless fasteners, and noncombustible clearances. You receive expert tuckpointing, firebox rebuilds, damper repairs, and smoke chamber parging that optimize safety and efficiency.
We assess and document deficiencies while conducting load-path and hearth support inspections, ensuring proper 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.
Chimney Relining, Caps, and Dampers
Once we restore smoke chambers and fireboxes to code, you need a flue system that provides safe and effective ventilation. We examine your flue's specifications, measurements, and system requirements to properly fit and mount UL-listed liner materials that meet NFPA 211 and manufacturer specs. Stainless steel liners suit most wood and gas systems; aluminum is suitable for select gas-only systems; damaged masonry can be reinforced with cast-in-place solutions. We insulate as required to maintain flue gas temperatures and clearance-to-combustibles.
Quality chimney caps prevent animals and burning embers from entering while channeling rain and snow away from the flue termination. We select protective screens with anti-corrosion mesh sized to ensure proper draft.
Our damper solutions provide consistent energy efficiency and draft management. Our team checks complete sealing, cable setup, and gasket functionality, then document performance using smoke testing and pressure measurements.
Leak Detection and Weatherproofing Solutions
You will eliminate expensive water-related problems by detecting frequent moisture problems such as damaged chimney crowns, deteriorating mortar, permeable brickwork, and faulty flashing. We'll specify building code approved flashing and cap upgrades that properly divert water and secure all penetrations to resist wind-driven rain. For enduring defense, we will install breathable masonry waterproofing solutions to the exterior masonry per product specifications and safety regulations.
Main Causes of Chimney Leakage
Even though rain seems to be the primary cause, most chimney leaks originate at specific failure points: worn mortar joints, broken crowns, broken or missing chimney caps, failed flashing where the chimney meets the roof, unsealed masonry lacking water protection, and damaged flue liners. You'll often observe leaks where roof valleys channel runoff toward the chimney, notably when gutter clogs push water back under shingles. Freeze-thaw cycles enlarge hairline cracks, allowing capillary intrusion that wets interior walls, oxidizes dampers, and damages fireboxes. Compromised or bare flue tiles can release water into the smoke chamber. Inspect with a top-to-bottom approach: inspect the cap, crown, joints, brick saturation, and interior moisture staining. Note observations per NFPA 211 levels of inspection and correct defects with suitable materials to maintain structural integrity and fire safety.
Flashing & Cap Enhancement Options
Starting at the roofline down, water control starts with properly installed flashing and a sealed, regulation-compliant cap. It requires step and counter-flashing integrated under shingles and into mortar joints, rather than surface caulk. Effective flashing repair involves replacing corroded metal, fixing laps, and integrating into the underlayment following IRC and manufacturer guidelines. Our team reset mortar joints where reglets are cut, following which we install kick-out diverters to direct runoff from the chimney.
For the upper section, switch to stainless covers matching the flue(s) and crown, with protective screening that meets NFPA 211. Stainless steel withstands corrosion common in Georgia's humid climate and acidic flue gases. Ensure the cap's skirt sheds water away from the crown edge and fastens securely, not with sealant alone, to maintain structural reliability and reduce leak pathways.
Waterproofing Sealant Applications
Targeted waterproofing starts following a detailed leak investigation, featuring hose and dye analysis, humidity measurements, and assessment of masonry elements, joints, and crown conditions. First verify active pathways, then choose materials appropriate to substrate and exposure. Emphasize surface preparation: pressure-clean, eliminate efflorescence, address cracks, repoint failing mortar to ASTM C270, and allow proper dry times. Install 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 movement tolerance. Secure flashing terminations and minor voids with UV-stable silicone sealant, working it to shed water. Perform 2-3 wet-on-wet passes, verify coverage rates, and respect cure windows. Record before/after moisture readings and schedule reinspection after major storms.
Safety Standards and Regulatory Compliance
Because fireplaces and chimneys are critical safety systems, you require documented inspections that validate system integrity and compliance standards ahead of each winter season and after any event like structural modifications, chimney fires, or lightning impacts. You need to follow inspection schedules outlined in NFPA 211 and local building codes, securing Level I, II, or III evaluations as necessary. A certified technician will evaluate flue system integrity and component performance, safety clearances, venting systems, and draft. They'll inspect for creosote, obstructions, moisture damage, and incorrect vent endings. You'll get a written report with images, problem identification, and repair priorities arranged by safety importance. When required, we coordinate permits and re-inspections to document compliance. Do not use the system until safety issues are resolved and confirmed.
