Professional Chimney Sweeping Services
Routine chimney cleaning keeps your system safe, efficient, and code-compliant. This helps minimize fire hazards, enhance airflow, and satisfy NFPA 211 guidelines. A certified sweep examines reachable parts, confirms clearances, and notes problems. We clean chimney surfaces to conduct creosote removal according to buildup type, then clean residue with HEPA filtration to manage soot distribution. We remove obstructions, sweep the smoke shelf, and check damper and cap operation.
We ensure safe ash disposal, employing metal containers with well-sealed lids, stationed on noncombustible surfaces in accordance with code guidance. We check for moisture intrusion, masonry debris, and critter nesting that could block ventilation. Prior to completion, we execute a smoke path assessment, validate carbon monoxide alarms, and provide a written report with upkeep intervals tailored to your specific fuel type and usage patterns.
Fireplace Repair and Restoration Expertise
If you're facing cracked firebrick, warped dampers, or spalling masonry, our skilled technicians diagnose the root causes and rebuild components to satisfy NFPA 211 and IRC standards. We thoroughly examine thermal damage, water infiltration, and structural movement, then select suitable materials and components that meet safety standards. You receive professional tuckpointing, firebox rebuilds, damper repairs, and smoke chamber parging that optimize functionality and protection.
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. Following ASTM C270 standards, we match mortar precisely, repair lintels, and secure surrounds to meet combustibility requirements. 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 evaluate your flue's specifications, measurements, and system requirements to correctly dimension and place UL-listed liner materials that meet 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 directing water from the flue termination. We select protective screens with rust-resistant mesh sized to maintain draft.
Our damper solutions provide reliable climate control and energy conservation. We verify complete sealing, cable setup, and gasket functionality, followed by performance validation with smoke and manometer tests.
Leak Detection and Weatherproofing Solutions
You can avoid damaging water issues by detecting common leak sources such as broken crown caps, worn mortar, absorbent masonry, and defective flashing. We'll specify building code approved flashing system enhancements that properly divert water and safeguard all entry points to resist wind-driven rain. For long-term protection, our experts will implement vapor-permeable siloxane/silane waterproofing sealants to the outer brickwork per product specifications and safety regulations.
Typical Chimney Water Entry Points
While rain is often the main issue, most chimney leaks begin at common trouble spots: deteriorated mortar joints, broken crowns, broken or missing chimney caps, compromised flashing where the chimney connects with the roof, porous masonry without proper waterproofing, and compromised flue liners. You'll commonly find leaks where roof valleys concentrate runoff toward the chimney, especially when gutter blockages push water back under shingles. Temperature fluctuations enlarge hairline cracks, allowing capillary intrusion that wets interior walls, corrodes dampers, and degrades fireboxes. Damaged or unlined flue tiles can release water into the smoke chamber. Examine 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 repair defects with compatible materials to preserve structural integrity and fire safety.
Flashing and Cap Upgrades
From the roofline down, moisture protection starts with properly installed flashing and a weather-tight, building code approved cap. You need step and counter-flashing incorporated under shingles and into mortar joints, instead of surface caulk. Professional flashing restoration involves removing corroded metal, adjusting laps, and connecting into the underlayment as per IRC and manufacturer requirements. We carefully reset mortar joints where reglets are cut, following which we position kick-out diverters to channel runoff clear of the chimney.
At the top, upgrade to stainless toppers matching the flue(s) and crown, with screening for birds and sparks that satisfies NFPA 211. This material prevents rust issues prevalent in Georgia's humid climate and acidic flue gases. Assure the cap's edge diverts moisture beyond the crown edge and fastens securely, using more than just sealant, to maintain structural reliability and minimize water infiltration.
Sealant Applications for Waterproofing
Targeted waterproofing starts following an in-depth leak evaluation, featuring dye or hose testing, humidity measurements, and inspection of crowns, joints, and masonry porosity. Identify active leak routes, then choose materials appropriate to substrate and exposure. Emphasize surface conditioning: pressure-wash, treat efflorescence, repair cracks, repoint 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. Use an elastomeric crown coating with reinforcement fabric at joints for expansion capacity. Seal flashing terminations and minor voids with UV-stable silicone sealant, working it to direct water. Apply 2-3 wet-on-wet passes, verify coverage rates, and respect cure windows. Record before/after moisture readings and plan reinspection after major storms.
Code Compliance and Safety Inspections
Given that fireplaces and chimneys are essential safety installations, you require documented inspections that confirm system integrity and compliance standards before each heating season and following incidents like fire damage, structural alterations, or lightning events. You need to follow inspection intervals defined by NFPA 211 and local building codes, securing Level I, II, or III evaluations as warranted. A certified technician will evaluate flue integrity, liner continuity, crown and cap performance, combustible clearances, gas appliance venting, and draft. They'll look for buildup, blockages, water damage, and faulty termination points. You'll get a written report with images, problem identification, and repair priorities organized by safety concerns. When needed, we coordinate permits and re-inspections to confirm adherence. Do not use the system until safety issues are resolved and confirmed.
