Full-Service Chimney Maintenance Solutions

Periodic chimney sweeping ensures your system stays safe, efficient, and up to code. You'll reduce fire risk, improve draft, and meet NFPA 211 standards. A qualified sweep inspects accessible components, validates clearance requirements, and notes problems. We scrub flue linings to conduct creosote removal according to buildup type, then vacuum particulates with HEPA filtration to manage soot migration. We clear blockages, clean the smoke shelf, and check damper and cap function.

We ensure safe ash disposal, utilizing metal containers with well-sealed lids, placed on noncombustible surfaces as per code guidance. We examine for moisture intrusion, masonry debris, and animal nesting that could block ventilation. Before finalizing, we conduct a smoke path check, verify carbon monoxide alarms, and deliver a written report with maintenance schedules tailored to your fuel choice and consumption habits.

Professional Fireplace Repair and Restoration Services

If you're facing damaged fireplace components or deteriorating masonry, our certified technicians diagnose the root causes and implement repairs to comply with NFPA 211 and IRC standards. We evaluate heat stress, moisture intrusion, and settlement, then specify suitable high-quality materials and proper safety clearances. You receive expert 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. 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 proper re-anchoring of surrounds for combustibility compliance. Final inspections include negative-pressure testing and photo documentation.

Chimney Relining, Caps, and Dampers

Following the restoration of smoke chambers and fireboxes to code, you need 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 are ideal for most wood and gas applications; aluminum fits some gas-only units; damaged masonry can be reinforced with cast-in-place solutions. We provide appropriate insulation to maintain flue gas temperatures and clearance-to-combustibles.

Well-designed chimney caps block animal entry and ember discharge while channeling rain and snow from the flue termination. We choose protective screens with corrosion-resistant mesh designed to preserve draft.

Damper systems deliver reliable climate control and energy conservation. Our team checks complete sealing, cable setup, and gasket functionality, then document performance through comprehensive smoke and pressure testing.

Leak Detection and Weatherproofing Solutions

You will eliminate expensive water-related problems by identifying typical water entry points such as cracked crowns, failed mortar joints, porous masonry, and compromised flashing. We will recommend building code approved cap and flashing improvements that properly divert water and secure all penetrations to prevent weather infiltration. For enduring defense, we will install moisture-permeable masonry waterproofing solutions to the exterior masonry per product specifications and safety regulations.

Typical Chimney Water Entry Points

Although rain is the obvious culprit, most chimney leaks start at particular problem areas: damaged mortar joints, damaged crowns, broken or missing chimney caps, damaged flashing where the chimney joins the roof, porous masonry without proper waterproofing, and damaged flue liners. You'll often observe leaks where roof valleys channel runoff toward the chimney, notably when gutter blockages drive water back under shingles. Freezing and thawing widen hairline cracks, permitting capillary intrusion that wets interior walls, oxidizes dampers, and damages fireboxes. Damaged or unlined flue tiles can shed water into the smoke chamber. Conduct an inspection with a systematic approach: check the cap, crown, joints, brick saturation, and interior moisture staining. Document all findings per NFPA 211 levels of inspection and fix defects with compatible materials to preserve structural integrity and fire safety.

Flashing and Cap Upgrades

From the roofline downward, leak prevention starts with properly installed flashing and a sealed, building code approved cap. You need step and counter-flashing incorporated under shingles and into mortar joints, instead of surface caulk. Proper flashing restoration includes switching out corroded metal, fixing laps, and tying into the underlayment following IRC and manufacturer specifications. Our team reset mortar joints where reglets are cut, then we install kick-out diverters to channel runoff clear of the chimney.

On the chimney top, upgrade to stainless toppers sized to the flue(s) and crown, with bird- and spark-screening that complies with NFPA 211. This material prevents rust issues prevalent in Georgia's humid climate and acidic flue gases. Assure the cap's edge diverts moisture away from the crown edge and fastens securely, beyond simple sealant application, to preserve structural integrity and reduce leak pathways.

Applications of Waterproofing Sealants

A comprehensive waterproofing plan begins after a detailed leak evaluation, incorporating dye or hose testing, moisture meter readings, and examination of crowns, joints, and masonry porosity. First verify active water paths, then pick materials suited to surface conditions and environment. Prioritize surface preparation: pressure-clean, neutralize efflorescence, repair cracks, repoint failing mortar to ASTM C270, and ensure proper dry times. Install a breathable silane/siloxane water repellent to vertical masonry to deflect wind-driven rain without trapping vapor. Apply an elastomeric crown coating with reinforcement fabric at intersections for expansion capacity. Seal flashing terminations and minor voids with UV-stable silicone sealant, working it to shed water. Maintain 2-3 wet-on-wet passes, check coverage rates, and observe cure windows. Record before/after moisture readings and schedule reinspection after major storms.

Code Compliance and Safety Inspections

Since fireplaces and chimneys are essential safety installations, you need documented inspections that validate condition, clearances, and code compliance before each heating season and following incidents like structural modifications, chimney fires, or lightning impacts. You need to follow inspection timeframes specified in NFPA 211 and local building codes, ensuring Level I, II, or III evaluations as necessary. A certified technician will examine flue system integrity and component performance, combustible clearances, venting systems, 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 required, we manage permits and re-inspections to confirm adherence. Do not use the system until dangerous situations are remedied and checked.
