Your chimney protects your home. We protect your chimney.
In Charlotte and throughout surrounding communities across North Carolina and South Carolina, homes face constant exposure to humidity, seasonal storms, heavy rain, and temperature shifts. These environmental factors directly impact chimney systems and the structural areas beneath the home.
At Air Flow Solutions, we provide comprehensive chimney services designed specifically for the climate conditions of the Carolinas. From routine chimney sweeping to structural chimney repair, waterproofing, and crawl space encapsulation, our goal is long term protection, safety, and performance.
Your chimney is not just brick and mortar. It is a ventilation structure connected to airflow, moisture control, and overall home stability.
Fireplaces are common in homes throughout Charlotte and nearby areas. Whether in older established neighborhoods or newer construction communities, seasonal fireplace use leads to soot and creosote buildup inside the chimney flue.
Creosote forms naturally when wood burns. As smoke rises and cools, residue sticks to the inner walls of the flue. Over time, this buildup becomes flammable and can restrict airflow.
Our chimney sweep service includes:
• Full flue inspection
• Professional creosote removal
• Soot extraction
• Draft performance verification
• Clean containment methods inside your home
Annual chimney sweeping is strongly recommended for regularly used fireplaces in the Carolinas. With humid air and fluctuating temperatures, buildup can harden faster and create airflow restrictions.
Keeping your chimney clean protects your home from fire risk and improves fireplace efficiency.
Chimneys are exposed to rain, wind, humidity, and seasonal expansion and contraction. Over time, masonry materials deteriorate. Small cracks allow water to enter. Mortar joints weaken. Bricks begin to shift.
In the Charlotte region and surrounding counties, heavy rain and humidity accelerate masonry damage.
Our chimney repair services address:
• Cracked or spalling bricks
• Deteriorating mortar joints
• Chimney crown damage
• Flashing failure
• Leaning chimney structures
• Firebox cracks
• Structural instability
We begin with a detailed inspection to identify the root cause of deterioration. Instead of cosmetic patchwork, we restore structural strength and long term stability.
Early chimney repair prevents larger structural problems and protects both the roofline and interior areas of the home.
Water is the number one cause of chimney damage in North and South Carolina.
Brick and mortar are porous materials. When rainwater is absorbed into masonry, it expands during temperature changes. Over time, this causes cracking, erosion, and surface breakdown.
Chimney waterproofing creates a breathable barrier that repels water while allowing internal moisture vapor to escape.
Benefits of professional chimney waterproofing include:
• Reduced masonry cracking
• Protection against moisture intrusion
• Extended chimney lifespan
• Lower long term repair costs
• Preserved exterior appearance
Given the humidity levels and frequent rainstorms in the Carolinas, waterproofing is one of the most important preventative services homeowners can invest in.
Many homeowners do not realize how closely the crawl space and chimney system are connected. Moisture beneath the home can affect air quality, structural framing, and overall humidity levels.
In areas around Charlotte and throughout the Carolinas, crawl spaces are especially vulnerable to ground moisture and humid air.
Crawl space encapsulation includes:
• Installing a durable vapor barrier
• Sealing vents and openings
• Moisture control solutions
• Protection of structural wood components
Encapsulation reduces humidity beneath the home, which supports better indoor air quality and helps prevent mold development.
Controlling moisture below the home also protects the chimney foundation and surrounding structure.

We understand that a clean and well maintained chimney is essential for the safety, efficiency, and air quality of your home or business. That’s why we follow a detailed step by step process designed to ensure exceptional results every time.
For fireplaces used regularly, annual chimney sweeping is recommended. Homes with heavy seasonal use may benefit from more frequent inspection.
Yes. Due to high humidity and frequent rain, masonry absorbs moisture quickly. Waterproofing significantly reduces long term deterioration.
Common signs include cracked bricks, loose mortar, leaning structures, water stains near the fireplace, or smoke drafting problems.
Yes. Moisture intrusion gradually erodes mortar and brick, leading to instability if not addressed early.
Moisture beneath the home affects structural framing and overall humidity levels. Controlling crawl space moisture protects the foundation and improves air quality.
Preventative maintenance is typically far less costly than major structural reconstruction caused by long term neglect.
When properly completed and combined with waterproofing, repairs can provide long term structural stability.
Yes. Removing creosote buildup significantly lowers the risk of chimney fires.
Delaying repairs allows small cracks to expand and moisture damage to worsen, leading to more extensive work later.
Air Flow Solutions provides professional chimney sweeping, repair, waterproofing, and crawl space encapsulation tailored to homes across North and South Carolina, with a focus on safety, durability, and long term protection.
