Good afternoon Alabama! Today we will talk a little about spalling. Here are some photos from a client that had us reseal and repaint a chimney with spalling concrete. Spalling concrete is a common problem where part of the surface peels, breaks or chips away. Also known as scaling, it is the result of a weak surface that is susceptible to damage. The result can create openings to allow water to enter your home. Spalled concrete may be caused by any of the following: *Freeze-thaw cycles *De-icing salts *Poor finishing techniques *Improper curing *A bad concrete mix Water sealing is the best way to prevent moisture-related spalling. If you have an issue related to spalling or any questions regarding our services, give us a call today at 256-832-0205 or send us a message here on Facebook!

From our family to yours, have a safe and happy Thanksgiving.

Good morning everyone! We hope your week has started off well! Today we will walk you a little through our Chimney Sweep Service! The traditional ways of sweeping a chimney and fireplace are no longer used - where you have the chimney sweep push rods and brushes from roof level down your chimney. The new, modern methods of chimney sweeping can be performed from inside your home at the opening of your fireplace. This includes rotary cleanings with different applications to insure the most thorough cleaning process with the most effective outcome when the service is completed. For harsher types of creosote, i.e. glazing, the sweeping methods will need to consist of mechanical and even chemical processes to be used. Prior to the start of the sweeping process, we take every precaution to protect your living space around the fireplace or appliance from ash or soot. We cover the area outside the fireplace or appliance with drop cloths and use the latest, most powerful vacuums designed for our industry with a triple filter system so no small particle debris travels out into your home during the sweeping process. We install a mechanical drafting system at the top of your chimney to draw the air from inside the fireplace or appliance out to the open air above the roof level. Once the sweeping is completed and no ash or soot is left in your chimney and is removed from your fireplace, we remove all the debris to be discarded by our professionals and get your living area around your fireplace or appliance as it was when we arrived. No mess, no fuss- just a clean fireplace or appliance left behind for you to enjoy! Please like and follow us for more updates!

Good morning Jacksonville and surrounding areas! Today we will #throwbackthursday and show just a small part of our collection of satisfied customers! Here we are featuring a few chase covers and caps we have conquered! ***What is a chase cover?*** The chimneys of manufactured fireplaces are functional – but not particularly stylish. To cover and protect the chimney, a chase built around the flue; chimney chases are usually made to match the exterior of the home and can be covered with masonry, siding, stucco, and more. At the top of the chimney chase sits the chase cover. Chase covers are typically made of metal such as stainless steel or aluminum and are designed to cover and protect the top of the chimney chase and flue. Their design keeps moisture and debris out of the chimney and helps protect the chimney chase structure. ***Why is a chase cover important?*** The primary purpose of the chimney chase cover is to keep moisture out of the chimney and flue. In addition, the sloped design and extended sides of the chase cover keep water off of the sides of the chimney chase. This protects the entire chimney system from water damage. Water can damage your chimney system in a number of ways. In addition to causing damage to the building materials of the chimney chase, water can cause interior fireplace components to rust and deteriorate. Likewise, long term water entry can cause mold and mildew growth; this can affect the air quality in your home and cause breathing difficulties for those with allergies or asthma. ***Signs your chase cover may be damaged*** Because chase covers are made of metal, the most common sign your chimney chase cover has been damaged is rusting or staining on the sides of the chimney. If water is allowed to pool or accumulate on top of the chase cover the metal will begin to rust; this is very common in chase covers made using less expensive metals or those that are older. While rust stains on the side of the chimney may be an eyesore, it is important to realize that the staining is more than just aesthetic – it means that water is damaging your chimney system. Oftentimes the presence of staining indicates that there may be a leak and water damage somewhere else in the fireplace or chimney.
