Complete Chimney Sweeping 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 guidelines. A professional sweep inspects accessible components, validates clearance requirements, and notes problems. We scrub flue linings to execute creosote removal according to buildup type, then remove debris with HEPA filtration to manage soot spread. We clear blockages, sweep the smoke shelf, and confirm damper and cap operation.

We ensure safe ash disposal, using metal containers with tight-fitting lids, placed on noncombustible surfaces in accordance with code guidance. We check for dampness, masonry debris, and critter nesting that may restrict ventilation. Before concluding, we execute a smoke path assessment, verify carbon monoxide alarms, and provide a written report with service intervals customized to your specific fuel type and usage patterns.

Expert Fireplace Repair and Restoration

If you're facing damaged fireplace components or deteriorating masonry, our experienced technicians determine the source of issues and implement repairs to satisfy NFPA 211 and IRC requirements. Our team assesses thermal damage, water infiltration, and structural movement, then select appropriate materials and components that meet safety standards. We provide professional comprehensive repair and restoration work that enhance draft performance and safety.

We assess and document deficiencies while conducting load-path and hearth support inspections, ensuring proper ember and spark containment. When working with period properties, we focus on mantel stabilization, ornate tile conservation, and seamless steel reinforcement that preserves historical integrity. Our mortar matching follows ASTM C270 standards, while we repair lintels and ensure 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 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 configuration, alignment, and heating requirements to properly fit and mount UL-listed liner materials that meet NFPA 211 and manufacturer specs. Stainless steel liners are ideal for most wood and gas applications; aluminum fits some gas-only units; cast-in-place options stabilize compromised masonry. We insulate as required to preserve optimal flue temperatures and required safety clearances.

Proper chimney caps stop wildlife intrusion and spark escape while shedding rain and snow away from the flue termination. We select ember-blocking screens with corrosion-resistant mesh designed to ensure proper draft.

Top-sealing and throat dampers offer consistent energy efficiency and draft management. We thoroughly inspect proper sealing, cable positioning, and gasket condition, and record results using smoke testing and pressure measurements.

Professional Leak Detection & Weatherproofing

You'll prevent damaging water issues by detecting typical water entry points such as damaged chimney crowns, deteriorating mortar, permeable brickwork, and faulty flashing. Our team will detail regulation-meeting cap and flashing improvements that effectively channel moisture and safeguard all entry points to resist wind-driven rain. For lasting durability, we'll apply breathable 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 begin at specific failure points: worn mortar joints, broken crowns, broken or missing chimney caps, failed flashing where the chimney connects with the roof, permeable masonry missing water repellent, and deteriorated flue liners. You'll often observe leaks where roof valleys direct runoff toward the chimney, particularly when gutter blockages push water back under shingles. Freezing and thawing enlarge hairline cracks, permitting capillary intrusion that moistens interior walls, oxidizes dampers, and degrades fireboxes. Damaged or unlined flue tiles can shed water into the smoke chamber. Inspect with a systematic approach: check the cap, crown, joints, brick saturation, and interior moisture staining. Record conditions per NFPA 211 levels of inspection and repair defects with suitable materials to protect structural integrity and fire safety.

Flashing & Cap Enhancement Options

From the roofline down, water control begins with well-designed flashing and a weather-tight, regulation-compliant cap. This demands step and counter-flashing integrated under shingles and into mortar joints, instead of surface caulk. Effective flashing maintenance includes replacing corroded metal, adjusting laps, and connecting into the underlayment as per IRC and manufacturer specifications. Our team reset mortar joints where reglets are cut, following which we position kick-out diverters to route runoff clear of the chimney.

At the top, install stainless covers sized to the chimney opening and crown, with screening for birds and sparks that meets NFPA 211. This material prevents rust issues prevalent in Georgia's humid climate and acidic flue gases. Ensure the cap's rim sheds water away from the crown edge and attaches firmly, not with sealant alone, to maintain structural reliability and reduce leak pathways.

Waterproofing Sealant Applications

Targeted waterproofing starts with a detailed leak assessment, incorporating water and dye testing, moisture level testing, and inspection of crowns, joints, and masonry porosity. You'll confirm active water paths, then choose materials suited to substrate and exposure. Focus on surface preparation: pressure-wash, eliminate efflorescence, address cracks, restore failing mortar to ASTM C270, and allow proper dry times. Use 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 connection points for expansion capacity. Secure flashing terminations and minor voids with UV-stable silicone sealant, working it to direct water. Maintain 2-3 wet-on-wet passes, verify coverage rates, and observe cure windows. Record before/after moisture readings and plan reinspection after major storms.

Code Requirements and Safety Protocols

Since fireplaces and chimneys function as life-safety components, you require documented inspections that confirm system integrity and compliance standards ahead of each winter season and subsequent to occurrences like fire damage, structural alterations, or lightning events. You should follow inspection intervals defined by NFPA 211 and local building codes, guaranteeing Level I, II, or III evaluations as required. A certified technician will evaluate flue system integrity and component performance, combustible clearances, ventilation requirements, and draft. They'll check for creosote accumulation, blockages, water issues, and incorrect vent endings. You'll obtain a written report with photos, defect categorization, and corrective actions arranged by safety importance. When necessary, we manage permits and re-inspections to verify conformity. Do not use the system until dangerous situations are remedied and checked.
