INSPECTION & CLEANING
The National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) recommends getting your chimney inspected annually. They also recommend having your fireplace cleaned and repaired as needed. This will help to make sure you have peace of mind while enjoying your fires.
PAN INSTALLATIONS
Chimney pans are flat, and cover the top of your chimney. They tend to rust out over a period of time, and need to be replaced. We both maintain and replace custom chimney pans for our clients.
PARGING
Parging allows the smoke and other combustion gasses to travel safely and more effectively through your chimney’s flu structure.
TUCKPOINTING
Repair the cement between the brick that’s utilized to construct your chimney with tuckpointing.
CROWN REPAIR
Chimney cement crowns are installed on masonry fireplaces in order to protect the chimney from the weather. We maintain and build custom cement chimney crowns to protect the flu structure of your fireplace so the smoke can safely exit your home.
FIREBOX REPAIR
We both repair and replace fireplace back walls, sidewalls, and entire fireboxes so that you can enjoy a safe fire.
LINER REPAIR
If your flu structure is compromised it is unsafe to build a fire. We install stainless steel chimney liners to safely carry the smoke up through your house. Make sure it is in top condition with annual maintenance.
REBUILDING
In some instances, the siding of your chimney chase is so deteriorated, a complete chimney rebuild is the best course to keep your home protected. We’ll have you squared away in no time with a great new chimney that will last you years to come!
Chimney Inspection and Cleaning
The National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) code for residential fireplace maintenance recommends annual inspections of your chimney cleaning and repairs as needed. During an inspection, we perform a 14-point safety check for your fireplace and provide you with a written condition report that will itemize any repairs that are needed to maintain your chimney’s structural integrity and safe use. This will help reduce the cost of maintenance and help you enjoy safe fires.
Custom Pan Installation
The top of a prefabricated chimney is a custom piece of metal that, although relatively flat, covers the entire top of the chimney. If it is not maintained it will rust out causing a major leak. We both maintain and replace custom chimney pans.
Parging
As part of our chimney inspections, we’ll notice details about older chimneys that need to be updated to new construction codes. For instance, parging is an aspect of modern chimneys that allows combustion gasses and the flow of smoke to travel more effectively through the chimney sweep. Find out if your home is following current construction codes by calling us today at (678) 721-1700.
Tuckpointing
Everything in your home wears and tears eventually. It’s normal that after a couple decades, the masonry (stone, brick, stucco) that was originally used to construct your chimney will begin to erode. We provide repair and replacement of the cement between the bricks and stone. It’s a method of preserving and restoring the exterior of the chimney and protecting the interior of your home.
Crown Repair
Cement chimney crowns are placed on masonry fireplaces to shield the home from water damage. It’s essentially a roof for your chimney! Over time, like any other piece of infrastructure, there is wear and tear. The crown will develop cracks along the edges and over the years of pounding rain, it will chip away and break off. This can become an area of concern and cause for potential water leaks into the home through your chimney. That’s why it’s important to give us a call today to prevent this from happening.
Firebox Repair
Just like any other aspect of your chimney or your property’s structural integrity, the firebox can also experience wear and tear! We both repair and replace both back walls and entire fireboxes to ensure your peace of mind as you enjoy your fireplace.
Liner Repair
Chimney liners channel the smoke upwards through your home. The cement crown, brickwork, and chimney cap combine to protect the flue structure from unnecessary damage. That’s why it’s important to sign up for our annual maintenance package so that your home’s chimney, gutters, and roof are all inspected and determined to be in good shape. Consider our annual maintenance package so that your chimney gutters and roof stay in good safety conditions.
Chimney Rebuilding
Ensuring your home’s safety is the top priority for our chimney technicians. We know that many chimneys in the Atlanta metro area are left unattended for too long. Long-term maintenance neglect is a great risk for your property as a whole. Sometimes requires the chimney to be replaced. We offer complete chimney rebuilding service.
