Chimney services San Anselmo homeowners can book
On the chimney itself, the work covers sweeping and creosote removal, flue cleaning, clearing blockages, and removing animals and nests. If you want to know what condition a flue is in before you light a fire, a chimney inspection is the usual first step. A camera inspection can show the inside of the flue where a flashlight can't reach.
When something needs fixing, chimney repair work includes masonry and crown repair, tuckpointing, flashing and leak repair, waterproofing, liner repair or installation, damper repair, and full rebuilds. Prefab chimneys, chases and chase covers are handled too. To keep rain, debris and animals out of the flue, you can also book having a chimney cap installed, along with animal screens and spark arrestors.
Inside the house, fireplace service covers wood-burning fireplaces, fireplace inserts and wood stoves: cleaning, firebox and smoke chamber repair, draft problems, refractory panels, and glass and door repair. Gas fireplaces can be serviced, repaired or installed, including gas logs and gas lines. Electric fireplace repair, fireplace conversions and new fireplace or insert installations are offered as well.
Dryer vents are part of the same visit list: cleaning, inspection and airflow testing, lint and blockage removal, roof vent cleaning, vent cover replacement, and repair, replacement or rerouting of a vent run that's too long or poorly placed.
Not sure which service fits?
Describe what you're noticing when you get in touch. Smoke drifting into the room, a campfire smell on warm days, water stains near the chimney, or clothes that take two cycles to dry all point to different jobs, and an inspection sorts out which one you actually need before any work is scheduled.
