Chimney services in Concord: what you can book
Work in Concord falls into four groups: keeping the flue clean, finding out what condition the system is in, fixing what's worn or damaged, and keeping air moving through the dryer vent. You can book one visit for a single problem or line up several jobs together.
- Cleaning: chimney sweeping, creosote removal, blockage and nest removal, and cleaning for fireplaces, inserts and wood stoves.
- Inspection: a standard chimney inspection, camera inspection of the flue, and inspections for a home sale or after a storm.
- Repair: leaks, flashing, crowns, masonry, liners, dampers, fireboxes and prefab chases. Full details are on our chimney repair service page.
- Fireplaces and gas: wood-burning and gas fireplace repair, inserts, gas logs, gas line installation and fireplace conversions.
- Dryer vents: cleaning, airflow testing, lint and blockage removal, rerouting and cover replacement.
Where most chimney jobs start
If you don't know what shape your chimney is in, start with an inspection. It shows whether cleaning will be enough or whether repairs come first. If the flue is open to rain, leaves or animals, a cap is often the simplest fix. Read how chimney cap installation works before you decide.
Dryer vent cleaning in Concord
Lint that gets past the dryer's filter builds up inside the vent duct. As the duct narrows, the dryer runs hotter and longer to push out the same amount of moist air. Long runs, sharp bends and roof-mounted vents trap lint fastest. Cleaning clears the full run from the dryer to the outside cover, and airflow testing confirms the duct is moving air properly afterward.
Signs a dryer vent needs attention
- Clothes need more than one cycle to dry
- The dryer or laundry room feels unusually hot
- A burning or musty smell while the dryer runs
- Lint collecting around the outside vent cover
- The outside flap barely opens, or not at all, while the dryer runs
Smell burning while the dryer runs?
Turn the dryer off and leave it off until the vent has been checked.
Are nearby towns covered too?
Yes. Along with Concord, there are service pages for Pleasant Hill, Walnut Creek and Martinez, so you can check the details for a home or business in any of those towns.
