Full-Service Chimney Maintenance Expertise

Routine chimney cleaning keeps your system safe, efficient, and code-compliant. You'll reduce fire risk, improve draft, and meet NFPA 211 standards. A qualified sweep checks available elements, verifies spacing, and notes problems. We brush flue walls to conduct creosote removal according to buildup type, then vacuum particulates with HEPA filtration to prevent soot distribution. We remove obstructions, sweep the smoke shelf, and check damper and cap performance.

Our ash disposal process is handled safely, using metal containers with secure lids, cooled on noncombustible surfaces following code guidance. We inspect for dampness, masonry debris, and critter nesting that could block ventilation. Before finalizing, we execute a smoke path inspection, confirm carbon monoxide alarms, and deliver a written report with maintenance schedules adapted to your specific fuel type and usage patterns.

Professional Fireplace Repair and Restoration Services

If you're facing damaged fireplace components or deteriorating masonry, our certified technicians diagnose the root causes and restore functionality 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. You receive precise chimney and fireplace restoration services that optimize safety and efficiency.

We assess and document deficiencies while conducting load-path and hearth support inspections, ensuring proper 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. We complete our work with negative-pressure testing and comprehensive photo documentation.

Essential Chimney Components: Liners, Caps & Dampers

Once we restore chimney fireboxes and smoke chambers to code, it's crucial to implement a flue system that provides safe and effective ventilation. We assess your flue's specifications, measurements, and system requirements to properly fit and mount UL-listed liner materials that comply with 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.

Quality chimney caps stop wildlife intrusion and spark escape while directing rain and snow from the flue termination. We choose spark-arresting screens with corrosion-resistant mesh sized to maintain draft.

Damper systems deliver reliable draft control and energy savings. We verify proper sealing, cable positioning, and gasket condition, and record results using smoke testing and pressure measurements.

Professional Leak Detection & Weatherproofing

You'll prevent costly moisture damage by identifying common leak sources such as damaged chimney crowns, deteriorating mortar, permeable brickwork, and faulty flashing. Our team will detail code-compliant cap and flashing improvements that shed water correctly and secure all penetrations to prevent weather infiltration. For lasting durability, we will install vapor-permeable masonry waterproofing solutions to the outer brickwork per industry standards and NFPA 211 guidelines.

Main Causes of Chimney Leakage

Even though rain seems to be the primary cause, most chimney leaks begin at specific failure points: damaged mortar joints, cracked crowns, missing or damaged chimney caps, failed flashing where the chimney connects with the roof, unsealed masonry lacking water protection, and compromised flue liners. You'll frequently notice leaks where roof valleys concentrate runoff toward the chimney, notably when gutter clogs force water back under shingles. Temperature fluctuations enlarge hairline cracks, allowing capillary intrusion that moistens interior walls, rusts dampers, and degrades fireboxes. Compromised or bare flue tiles can leak water into the smoke chamber. Inspect with a top-to-bottom approach: check the cap, crown, joints, brick saturation, and interior moisture staining. Note observations per NFPA 211 levels of inspection and correct defects with appropriate materials to preserve structural integrity and fire safety.

Cap and Flashing Improvements

Starting at the roofline downward, water control begins with correctly detailed 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. Proper flashing restoration includes replacing corroded metal, adjusting laps, and tying into the underlayment as per IRC and manufacturer specifications. We carefully reset mortar joints where reglets are cut, after which we install kick-out diverters to channel runoff clear of the chimney.

For the upper section, upgrade to stainless caps fitted for the vent system and crown, with protective screening that satisfies NFPA 211. Stainless resists rust issues prevalent in Georgia's humid climate and acidic flue gases. Assure the cap's edge sheds water beyond the crown edge and fastens securely, using more than just sealant, to maintain structural reliability and reduce leak pathways.

Sealant Applications for Waterproofing

Targeted waterproofing starts after a thorough leak investigation, incorporating water and dye testing, moisture meter readings, and assessment of masonry elements, joints, and crown conditions. You'll confirm active pathways, then choose materials matched to material type and exposure level. Prioritize surface preparation: pressure-wash, neutralize efflorescence, fix cracks, repoint failing mortar to ASTM C270, and ensure proper dry times. Use a breathable silane/siloxane water repellent to vertical masonry to shed 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 channel water. Apply 2-3 wet-on-wet passes, verify coverage rates, and follow cure windows. Document before/after moisture readings and arrange reinspection after major storms.

Code Compliance and Safety Inspections

Because fireplaces and chimneys function as life-safety components, you must have documented inspections that validate condition, clearances, and code compliance ahead of each winter season and after any event like fire damage, structural alterations, or lightning events. You should follow inspection schedules 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, safety clearances, venting systems, and draft. They'll look for creosote accumulation, blockages, water issues, and incorrect vent endings. You'll get a written report with documentation, issue classification, and recommended fixes prioritized for safety. When needed, we coordinate permits and re-inspections to document compliance. Avoid using the system until dangerous situations are remedied and checked.
