Full-Service Chimney Maintenance Services
Routine chimney maintenance keeps your system safe, efficient, and code-compliant. You'll reduce fire risk, improve draft, and meet NFPA 211 recommendations. A certified sweep examines reachable parts, confirms clearances, and records issues. We brush flue walls to perform creosote removal appropriate to its stage, then remove debris with HEPA filtration to prevent soot distribution. We clear blockages, clear the smoke shelf, and confirm damper and cap performance.
We safely manage ash disposal, employing metal containers with well-sealed lids, stationed on noncombustible surfaces following code guidance. We examine for dampness, masonry debris, and animal nesting that could block ventilation. Before finalizing, we perform a smoke path assessment, validate carbon monoxide alarms, and provide a written report with upkeep intervals customized to your fuel choice and consumption habits.
Fireplace Repair and Restoration Expertise
If you're facing damaged fireplace components or deteriorating masonry, our certified technicians determine the source of issues and rebuild components to comply with NFPA 211 and IRC standards. We thoroughly examine heat stress, moisture intrusion, and settlement, then select compatible materials and components that meet safety standards. We provide expert chimney and fireplace restoration services that improve draft performance and safety.
Our inspection process includes documenting deficiencies, checking load-path and hearth support, and confirming 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. We match mortar here with ASTM C270 standards, repair lintels, and re-anchor surrounds to maintain combustibility setbacks. Final inspections include negative-pressure testing and photo documentation.
Chimney Systems: Relining, Caps & Damper Solutions
Once we restore smoke chambers and fireboxes to code, it's crucial to implement a flue system that ensures safe and efficient venting. We assess your flue's dimensions, offsets, and appliance input to properly fit and mount UL-listed liner materials that satisfy NFPA 211 and manufacturer specs. Stainless steel liners suit most wood and gas systems; aluminum fits some gas-only units; cast-in-place alternatives help strengthen weakened masonry. We add necessary insulation to maintain flue gas temperatures and clearance-to-combustibles.
Proper chimney caps stop animals and burning embers from entering while shedding water clear of the flue termination. We utilize protective screens with anti-corrosion mesh sized to ensure proper draft.
Damper systems deliver dependable climate control and energy conservation. Our team checks proper sealing, cable positioning, and gasket condition, followed by performance validation with smoke and manometer tests.
Weatherproofing and Leak Detection Services
You'll prevent costly moisture damage by identifying typical water entry points such as cracked crowns, failed mortar joints, porous masonry, and compromised flashing. We'll specify regulation-meeting cap and flashing improvements that shed water correctly and secure all penetrations to withstand rain and wind. For enduring defense, our experts will implement moisture-permeable water-repellent treatments to the outer brickwork per manufacturer specs and NFPA 211 best practices.
Typical Chimney Water Entry Points
Although rain is the obvious culprit, most chimney leaks originate at specific failure points: damaged mortar joints, broken crowns, missing or damaged chimney caps, compromised flashing where the chimney meets the roof, porous masonry without proper waterproofing, and deteriorated flue liners. You'll often observe leaks where roof valleys channel runoff toward the chimney, particularly when gutter clogs drive water back under shingles. Temperature fluctuations expand hairline cracks, enabling capillary intrusion that moistens interior walls, corrodes dampers, and damages fireboxes. Damaged or unlined flue tiles can release water into the smoke chamber. Conduct an inspection with a systematic approach: inspect the cap, crown, joints, brick saturation, and interior moisture staining. Document all findings per NFPA 211 levels of inspection and correct defects with compatible materials to maintain structural integrity and fire safety.
Cap and Flashing Improvements
From the roof edge down, leak prevention commences with well-designed flashing and a weather-tight, regulation-compliant cap. It requires step and counter-flashing incorporated under shingles and into mortar joints, not just surface caulk. Proper flashing restoration encompasses replacing corroded metal, fixing laps, and integrating into the underlayment following IRC and manufacturer specifications. Our team reset mortar joints where reglets are cut, after which we install kick-out diverters to channel runoff away from the chimney.
For the upper section, switch to stainless toppers sized to the vent system and crown, with screening for birds and sparks that complies with NFPA 211. Stainless resists deterioration typical of Georgia's humid climate and acidic flue gases. Ensure the cap's edge sheds water away from the crown edge and fastens securely, not with sealant alone, to maintain structural reliability and minimize water infiltration.
Waterproofing Sealant Applications
A comprehensive waterproofing plan begins with an in-depth leak evaluation, including hose and dye analysis, moisture level testing, and assessment of structural joints, crowns, and masonry absorption. Identify active leak routes, then select materials appropriate to material type and exposure level. Emphasize surface prep: pressure-clean, treat efflorescence, fix cracks, renew failing mortar to ASTM C270, and provide 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 joints for expansion capacity. Seal flashing terminations and minor voids with UV-stable silicone sealant, working it to channel water. Perform 2-3 wet-on-wet passes, confirm coverage rates, and follow cure windows. Document before/after moisture readings and plan reinspection after major storms.
Safety Inspections and Code Compliance
Because fireplaces and chimneys function as life-safety components, you require documented inspections that validate condition, clearances, and code compliance before each heating season and after any event like structural modifications, chimney fires, or lightning impacts. You must follow inspection intervals defined by NFPA 211 and local building codes, securing Level I, II, or III evaluations as necessary. A certified technician will assess chimney structure, liner condition, and cap functionality, combustible clearances, venting systems, and draft. They'll look for creosote accumulation, blockages, water issues, and faulty termination points. You'll receive a written report with photos, defect categorization, and corrective actions organized by safety concerns. When required, we manage permits and re-inspections to document compliance. Don't operate the system until hazardous conditions are corrected and verified.
