Comprehensive 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 professional sweep checks available elements, verifies spacing, and records issues. We clean chimney surfaces to perform creosote removal based on accumulation level, then vacuum particulates with HEPA filtration to prevent soot distribution. We remove obstructions, clear the smoke shelf, and confirm damper and cap operation.

We ensure safe ash disposal, using metal containers with secure lids, cooled on noncombustible surfaces as per code guidance. We examine for water penetration, masonry debris, and animal nesting that could block ventilation. Before finalizing, we execute a smoke path check, validate carbon monoxide alarms, and deliver a written report with service intervals adapted to your fuel choice and consumption habits.

Expert Fireplace Repair and Restoration

If you're facing structural issues in your fireplace or chimney, our skilled technicians determine the source of issues and implement repairs to meet NFPA 211 and IRC specifications. We thoroughly examine thermal damage, water infiltration, and structural movement, then choose suitable high-quality materials and proper safety clearances. We provide 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. 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 Systems: Relining, Caps & Damper Solutions

Following the restoration of smoke chambers and fireboxes to code, it's essential to have a flue system that ensures safe and efficient venting. We assess your flue's configuration, alignment, and heating requirements to correctly dimension and place 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 preserve optimal flue temperatures and required safety clearances.

Well-designed chimney caps block animal entry and ember discharge while shedding rain and snow away from the flue termination. We select spark-arresting screens with anti-corrosion mesh sized to preserve draft.

Top-sealing and throat dampers offer reliable draft control and energy savings. We verify airtight closure, cable alignment, and gasket integrity, and record results with smoke and manometer tests.

Professional Leak Detection & Weatherproofing

You can avoid costly moisture damage by identifying typical water entry points such as cracked crowns, failed mortar joints, porous masonry, and compromised flashing. We will recommend regulation-meeting flashing and cap upgrades that effectively channel moisture and secure all penetrations to resist wind-driven rain. For long-term protection, our experts will implement vapor-permeable water-repellent treatments to the external walls per product specifications and safety regulations.

Typical Chimney Water Entry Points

Although rain is the obvious culprit, most chimney leaks originate at particular problem areas: damaged mortar joints, broken crowns, broken or missing chimney caps, damaged flashing where the chimney connects with the roof, permeable masonry missing water repellent, and deteriorated flue liners. You'll commonly find leaks where roof valleys channel runoff toward the chimney, particularly when gutter blockages push water back under shingles. Freezing and thawing enlarge hairline cracks, allowing capillary intrusion that damages interior walls, corrodes dampers, and deteriorates fireboxes. Unlined or damaged flue tiles can leak water into the smoke chamber. Conduct an inspection with a systematic approach: check the cap, crown, joints, brick saturation, and interior moisture staining. Note observations per NFPA 211 levels of inspection and fix defects with suitable materials to maintain structural integrity and fire safety.

Flashing and Cap Upgrades

From the roofline down, water control begins with well-designed flashing and a weather-tight, code-compliant cap. It requires step and counter-flashing installed under shingles and into mortar joints, instead of surface caulk. Proper flashing maintenance includes switching out corroded metal, correcting laps, and tying into the underlayment following IRC and manufacturer guidelines. Our team reset mortar joints where reglets are cut, following which we position kick-out diverters to direct runoff away from the chimney.

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

Sealant Applications for Waterproofing

A comprehensive waterproofing plan begins after an in-depth leak assessment, featuring water and dye testing, moisture meter readings, and assessment of crowns, joints, and masonry porosity. You'll confirm active water paths, then choose materials suited to substrate and exposure. Focus on surface prep: pressure-wash, treat efflorescence, fix cracks, renew 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. Use an elastomeric crown coating with reinforcement fabric at connection points for movement tolerance. Seal flashing terminations and minor voids with UV-stable silicone sealant, shaping it to direct water. Apply 2-3 wet-on-wet passes, verify coverage rates, and respect cure windows. Document before/after moisture readings and arrange reinspection after major storms.

Code Requirements and Safety Protocols

Because fireplaces and chimneys function as life-safety components, you must have documented inspections that validate system integrity and compliance standards before each heating season and following incidents like a flue fire, lightning strike, or structural change. You must follow inspection intervals 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, venting systems, and draft. They'll look for buildup, blockages, water damage, and faulty termination points. You'll receive a written report with images, problem identification, and repair priorities prioritized for safety. When required, we coordinate permits and re-inspections to verify conformity. Do not use the system until hazardous conditions are corrected and verified.
