Chimney services San Ramon homes can book
In San Ramon, the work runs from a routine sweep to rebuilding damaged masonry. The work falls into one of three groups:
- Cleaning and clearing: chimney sweeping, creosote removal, flue and blockage clearing, nest and animal removal, and cleaning for fireplaces, inserts and wood stoves.
- Inspection and repair: a chimney and fireplace inspection, with a camera when the flue needs a closer look. That can lead to chimney repair for leaks, cracks and worn parts, covering flashing, crowns, liners, dampers and masonry.
- Fireplace and vent work: gas and wood-burning fireplace repair and installation, inserts, doors and conversions, plus dryer vent cleaning, airflow testing and rerouting.
Homes close by in Danville, Walnut Creek and Moraga each have their own area page.
Keeping rain and animals out of the flue
An uncapped flue is an open path for rain, leaves, birds and small animals. A cap, an animal screen or a spark arrestor closes that gap. Prefab chimneys also need a sound chase cover. Fitting or replacing a chimney cap is often a short job. If water has already reached the crown or chase, the repair can be handled in the same project.
Dryer vents get the same attention
A dryer that needs two cycles to dry a load, a laundry room that runs hot, or lint collecting around the outside hood usually points to a restricted vent. The duct is cleaned from end to end, lint and blockages are removed, and airflow is tested afterward. A run that is crushed, too long or badly routed can be repaired, replaced or rerouted, and roof-mounted vents are included.
