Full-Service Chimney Maintenance Solutions
Regular chimney sweeping ensures your system stays safe, efficient, and up to code. You'll reduce fire risk, improve draft, and meet NFPA 211 guidelines. A certified sweep examines reachable parts, validates clearance requirements, and records issues. We scrub flue linings to conduct creosote removal according to buildup type, then vacuum particulates with HEPA filtration to manage soot distribution. We remove obstructions, sweep the smoke shelf, and verify damper and cap function.
Our ash disposal process is handled safely, using metal containers with tight-fitting lids, placed on noncombustible surfaces following code guidance. We examine for moisture intrusion, masonry debris, and critter nesting that can impede ventilation. Before finalizing, we execute a smoke path inspection, validate carbon monoxide alarms, and supply a written report with maintenance schedules tailored to your specific fuel type and usage patterns.
Expert Fireplace Repair and Restoration
When dealing with damaged fireplace components or deteriorating masonry, our certified technicians identify underlying problems and implement repairs to satisfy NFPA 211 and IRC requirements. Our team assesses structural damage, water penetration, and foundation issues, then choose suitable materials and components that meet safety standards. You receive professional chimney and fireplace restoration services that enhance 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. Following ASTM C270 standards, we match mortar precisely, repair lintels, and secure surrounds to meet combustibility requirements. Final inspections include negative-pressure testing and photo documentation.
Chimney Relining, Caps, and Dampers
Once we restore smoke chambers and fireboxes to code, it's essential to have a flue system that provides safe and effective ventilation. We assess your flue's dimensions, offsets, and appliance input to correctly dimension and place UL-listed liner materials that comply with NFPA 211 and manufacturer specs. Stainless steel liners are ideal for most wood and gas applications; certain gas-only units can use aluminum; cast-in-place options stabilize compromised masonry. We provide appropriate insulation to preserve optimal flue temperatures and required safety clearances.
Well-designed chimney caps stop wildlife intrusion and spark escape while channeling precipitation away from the flue termination. We utilize spark-arresting screens with corrosion-resistant mesh sized to maintain draft.
Damper systems deliver reliable energy efficiency and draft management. We verify complete sealing, cable setup, and gasket functionality, then document performance using smoke testing and pressure measurements.
Expert Leak Detection and Weather Protection
You'll prevent damaging water issues by identifying typical water entry points such as damaged chimney crowns, deteriorating mortar, permeable brickwork, and faulty flashing. We'll specify building code approved flashing and cap upgrades that shed water correctly and secure all penetrations to prevent weather infiltration. For lasting durability, we will install breathable masonry waterproofing solutions to the outer brickwork per industry standards and NFPA 211 guidelines.
Frequent Chimney Leak Points
While rain is often the main issue, most chimney leaks originate at specific failure points: damaged mortar joints, damaged crowns, missing or damaged chimney caps, damaged flashing where the chimney connects with the roof, permeable masonry missing water repellent, and compromised flue liners. You'll often observe leaks where roof valleys direct runoff toward the chimney, particularly when gutter obstructions force water back under shingles. Temperature fluctuations widen hairline cracks, allowing capillary intrusion that moistens interior walls, corrodes dampers, and deteriorates fireboxes. Compromised or bare flue tiles can leak water into the smoke chamber. Conduct an inspection with a top-to-bottom approach: examine the cap, crown, joints, brick saturation, and interior moisture staining. Record conditions per NFPA 211 levels of inspection and repair defects with appropriate materials to preserve structural integrity and fire safety.
Flashing and Cap Upgrades
From the roof edge down, leak prevention starts with well-designed flashing and a sealed, building code approved cap. This demands step and counter-flashing integrated under shingles and into mortar joints, not just surface caulk. Effective flashing maintenance includes switching out corroded metal, adjusting laps, and connecting into the underlayment according to IRC and manufacturer guidelines. We professionally reset mortar joints where reglets are cut, after which we install kick-out diverters to direct runoff clear of the chimney.
For the upper section, upgrade to stainless caps sized to the vent system and crown, with bird- and spark-screening that meets NFPA 211. Stainless steel withstands rust issues prevalent in Georgia's humid climate and acidic flue gases. Assure the cap's rim diverts moisture past the crown edge and anchors mechanically, beyond simple sealant application, to maintain structural reliability and prevent moisture entry.
Waterproofing Sealant Applications
Effective waterproofing commences with a detailed leak assessment, including hose and dye analysis, moisture level testing, and inspection of masonry elements, here joints, and crown conditions. First verify active pathways, then choose materials appropriate to substrate and exposure. Emphasize surface prep: pressure-clean, treat efflorescence, fix cracks, repoint failing mortar to ASTM C270, and provide proper dry times. Apply a breathable silane/siloxane water repellent to vertical masonry to repel wind-driven rain without trapping vapor. Install an elastomeric crown coating with reinforcement fabric at intersections for expansion capacity. Seal flashing terminations and minor voids with UV-stable silicone sealant, shaping it to shed water. Maintain 2-3 wet-on-wet passes, verify coverage rates, and follow cure windows. Record before/after moisture readings and plan reinspection after major storms.
Code Compliance and Safety Inspections
Because fireplaces and chimneys are critical safety systems, you must have documented inspections that confirm system integrity and compliance standards before each heating season and subsequent to occurrences like a flue fire, lightning strike, or structural change. You must follow inspection schedules specified in NFPA 211 and local building codes, guaranteeing Level I, II, or III evaluations as necessary. A certified technician will evaluate flue integrity, liner continuity, crown and cap performance, combustible clearances, ventilation requirements, and draft. They'll check for creosote accumulation, blockages, water issues, and improper terminations. You'll receive a written report with photos, defect categorization, and corrective actions organized by safety concerns. When required, we coordinate permits and re-inspections to document compliance. Avoid using the system until safety issues are resolved and confirmed.
