Creosote is what burns in a chimney fire. Third-degree creosote is glazed and hot enough to crack flue tile, and removing it is the entire point of an annual sweep.
Most chimney leaks are not the brick. They are a failed crown, missing cap or bad step flashing where the stack meets the roof - which is why repointing a chimney that leaks through the crown fixes nothing.
Long cooling seasons and heavy summer rain drive the two problems we see most here: moisture getting into assemblies, and anything that traps it staying wet.
What the job includes
- Annual sweeping and creosote removal
- Level 1 and Level 2 inspections
- Stainless cap and crown repair
- Flue liner installation
- Flashing and leak repair
- Dryer vent cleaning
Homes in Augusta and chimney sweeping work
Public figures for the city of Augusta in Richmond County, not the metro, and the general practice that follows.
The Augusta Bush Fld Ap station averages 51 nights a year at or below 32°F and 5 at or below 20°F.1,2 Repeated freeze-thaw cycles open small masonry cracks; an inspection should include the crown, the cap and the condition of the flue tiles. The median home in the city of Augusta was built in 1980, about the same as the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the Georgia median of 1992.3 About 50% of Augusta's housing units were built before 1980, close to the national share, and 13% since 2010.3
Rainfall is substantial: about 44 inches a year, 13 days of it an inch or more.1,2 Heavy rain tests the flashing and crown; most chimney leaks enter there rather than through the brick, and the inspection report should say which. Measurable snow is rare (about 0.8 inches a year).1,2 Cooling dominates the year: about 2,361 cooling degree days against 2,182 heating degree days (base 65°F).1,2 In a cooling-led climate, attic ventilation, duct sealing and window solar gain are where the energy code concentrates.
Building permits in Augusta are normally issued by the consolidated city-county government.4,5 Where a liner or rebuild needs a permit, the contractor files it with the city before work starts.
