Chimney services in Larkspur: what you can book
The work falls into four kinds of work. Each one can be booked by itself or combined into a single visit, so one appointment can handle the whole system.
- Chimney care: sweeping, creosote and blockage removal, nest removal, and chimney repair for leaks, flashing, crowns, liners and masonry.
- Fireplaces and stoves: cleaning, firebox and door repair, inserts, conversions and new installations.
- Gas fireplaces: service, repair, gas logs and gas line work.
- Dryer vents: cleaning, airflow testing, lint and blockage removal, roof vents, and rerouting.
A sensible place to start
If you don't know when the chimney was last looked at, or you just bought the house, begin with a full chimney inspection. It shows what condition the flue, liner, damper and crown are in, so any repair you book is based on what was actually found rather than a guess.
If the chimney is in good shape but has no cap, or the old one is rusted or loose, installing a new chimney cap is a small job that keeps rain, leaves and animals out of the flue. For dryer vents, a falling-off in drying time is usually the first sign the line needs cleaning.
