Chimney services El Cerrito homeowners can book
Most visits start with the basics: sweeping the flue, removing creosote and clearing out anything that has fallen or been built inside, such as leaves or an old nest. Wood stoves and fireplace inserts get the same attention. If you want to know the condition of the flue before the next fire, or you are buying or selling a home, a chimney inspection can include a camera run through the flue so you can see what the crew sees.
The chimney repair service covers leaks around the roofline and flashing, cracked crowns, worn mortar joints, damaged liners, stuck dampers and prefab chimney chases. A missing or rusted cap is one of the simpler fixes, and how chimney cap installation works explains the options for keeping rain, animals and sparks where they belong.
Inside the house, fireplace work ranges from firebox and smoke chamber repair to new glass doors, refractory panels and insert installation. Gas fireplaces can be serviced, repaired or installed, along with gas logs and the gas line that feeds them. For a fireplace that smokes into the room, draft repair looks at why air isn't moving up the flue the way it should.
Dryer vents are part of the same visit list. Lint removal, airflow testing, clearing blockages, cleaning roof-mounted vents and replacing crushed or poorly routed duct are all available, which matters if clothes are taking longer to dry than they used to.
