Chimney services in Belmont: what homeowners book
Most calls from Belmont fall into four groups: keeping a fireplace safe to use, fixing something that has stopped working, adding or upgrading a fireplace, and clearing a dryer vent. On the chimney side that means sweeping, creosote removal, clearing nests or blockages, and a chimney inspection service that can include a camera look down the flue.
When something is damaged, our chimney repair work covers leaks, flashing, crowns, mortar joints, liners and dampers, up to a full rebuild. Inside the house, we repair fireboxes, smoke chambers, glass doors and draft problems, and we install wood-burning fireplaces, inserts, gas fireplaces, gas logs and the gas lines that feed them.
For laundry rooms, we clean dryer vents from the dryer to the outside termination, including vents that exit through the roof, and we test airflow, clear lint and blockages, and reroute or replace vent runs that are too long or crushed.
Not sure what your chimney needs?
If you can't tell whether you need a cleaning or a repair, describe what you are seeing when you get in touch. The common signs point in different directions:
- Smoke drifting into the room, a strong smell or slow draft usually starts with a cleaning and a look at the flue and damper.
- Water stains on the ceiling or wall near the chimney, or crumbling mortar outside, point toward an inspection and then repair.
- Birds, animals or debris coming down the flue usually means the top is open; adding a chimney cap or an animal screen closes it off after the blockage is removed.
- A dryer that runs hot or needs extra cycles is a sign the vent needs cleaning or an airflow check.
