Braselton, GA Chimney Services

Safety

Chimney cleaning means getting on the roof, working with hazardous materials like creosote, and using tools. Chimney professionals have the training, experience, and equipment to minimize the risk of accidents and property damage.

Experience

Unlike electricians and plumbers, the chimney sweep industry isn’t nationally regulated, and chimney sweeps don’t have to be licensed in most states. This means anyone can call themselves a chimney sweep, even if they don’t know what they’re doing.

Hiring a certified professional with experience ensures your chimney is cleaned correctly, so you don’t have to worry about a fire. Moreover, experts have the training to spot potential dangers that an amateur might miss, like cracks, blockages, and water leaks.

Efficiency

Because professional chimney sweeps have training and experience, they can clean your chimney faster than if you tried to do it yourself. They have advanced tools like HD cameras to inspect the chimney’s interior and detect issues that could cause poor drafting or create fire or carbon monoxide risk.

Our Masonry Chimney Repairs

Heat, freezing temperatures, moisture, and lack of maintenance can cause chimney damage like cracks and crumbling mortar joints. If these issues go unaddressed for too long, it can lead to your chimney tilting and eventually falling down. In addition to being certified chimney sweeps, our technicians are expert masons. Here’s a small list of the most common masonry repairs we provide.

Chimney Tuck-pointing

Chimney deterioration is a natural process that happens when the masonry materials are exposed to moisture and the freeze/thaw cycle. As bricks and mortar expand and contract, they loosen. Tuck-pointing or repointing involves replacing the mortar joints to increase stability and restore your chimney’s original look.

Chimney Rebuilding

Neglecting chimney maintenance can lead to serious issues like tilting or crumbling. Depending on the extent of the damage, you may need a complete chimney rebuild.

Chimney Crown Repair

Chimney crowns are essential to protect your chimney from water damage, animals, and debris. If you have a concrete crown, it can crack and deteriorate like the other masonry parts, which is why it’s essential to get annual inspections and repair damage as soon as possible.

A level three inspection involves using specialized tools to access a chimney’s concealed areas and remove specific components like the crown to assess the damage.
