Chimney work Redwood City homeowners can book
In Redwood City we take on routine chimney care and problem calls. Routine care means sweeping and flue cleaning, creosote removal, and clearing blockages. Problem calls include odors, nests and animals inside the flue, and storm damage. If you aren't sure what shape your chimney is in, start with a chimney inspection that looks at the flue, liner and crown. A camera inspection is available when the inside of the flue needs a closer look.
When something needs fixing, we repair the masonry, crown, flashing, liner and damper, and we can waterproof the chimney. Our chimney repair work, from small leaks to full rebuilds, covers both brick chimneys and prefab chases.
Fireplaces, gas appliances and dryer vents
Beyond the chimney, we clean, repair and install wood-burning fireplaces, inserts and wood stoves. That includes fireboxes, smoke chambers, refractory panels, glass and doors. We also service, repair and install gas fireplaces, gas logs and gas lines, and we can convert a fireplace from one fuel to another.
For dryer vents, we offer cleaning, lint and blockage removal, airflow testing, roof vent cleaning, cover replacement, and rerouting a vent run that is too long or badly placed.
Matching the problem to the first visit
Common starting points
Smoke, a bad smell or poor draft
Book a cleaning and inspection first, so the cause is found before any repair is planned.
Water stains near the chimney
Leaks usually come from the flashing, crown or masonry, and an inspection shows which one needs repair.
Debris, birds or animals in the flue
After the nest or animal is removed, installing a chimney cap to keep the flue covered helps stop it from happening again.
Clothes taking longer to dry
A dryer vent cleaning with an airflow test checks whether lint or a blockage is slowing the dryer down.
