Chimney services in Novato, from the flue to the cap
Most visits start with the basics: sweeping the flue, removing creosote and clearing blockages such as nests or fallen debris. If you aren't sure what shape your chimney is in, our chimney inspection service looks at the flue, liner, damper, crown and flashing and tells you plainly what needs attention and what can wait. Camera inspections and inspections for a home sale are also available.
When something is worn or damaged, we do the repair. That covers leaks and flashing, cracked crowns, loose mortar, damaged liners, stuck dampers and prefab chases. Learn more about chimney repair before you book. If your chimney is open at the top, it's worth reading how chimney cap installation works, since a cap keeps rain, animals and debris out of the flue.
Fireplaces, gas units and dryer vents
Inside the house, we clean and repair wood-burning fireplaces, inserts and wood stoves. We also fix fireboxes, smoke chambers, glass doors and draft problems. Gas fireplace and gas appliance work is offered too, including service, repairs, gas log sets and new installations.
A clogged dryer vent is easy to overlook. If clothes take longer to dry or the laundry room runs hot, we can clean the vent, test airflow and remove lint or blockages. That includes vents that exit through the roof. We can also repair, replace or reroute a vent run that's crushed or too long.
Not sure which service you need?
Describe what you're noticing, whether that's smoke in the room, a smell, water near the fireplace or a slow dryer, and we'll suggest where to start.
