Serving Tiburon Homes: Chimney, Fireplace & Dryer Vent Service

From a sooty flue to a dryer that takes two cycles to dry a load, homes in Tiburon can book chimney, fireplace and dryer vent work with us, including cleaning, inspections, repairs and installations.

Chimney work Tiburon homeowners can book

Most chimney visits start with one of three needs: the flue needs cleaning, something looks or smells wrong, or the chimney is letting in water or animals. We sweep flues and remove creosote buildup, clear blockages and nests, and track down lingering odors. When you want to know the condition of a flue before lighting a fire, before buying a house or after a hard storm, our chimney inspection service can include a camera look inside the liner.

If an inspection turns up cracked masonry, a failing crown, worn flashing or a damaged liner, we handle that work too. You can read how chimney repair works, from tuckpointing and leak fixes to liner replacement and full rebuilds. For chimneys missing a top, a chimney cap installation keeps out rain, birds and debris, and we also fit animal screens and spark arrestors.

Fireplaces, stoves and gas units

Inside the house, we clean and repair wood-burning fireplaces, fireplace inserts and wood stoves, including fireboxes, smoke chambers, dampers, doors and glass. If a fireplace smokes into the room, we look at the draft and the parts that affect it. Gas fireplace and gas appliance work is offered as well, covering service, repair, gas logs, gas line work and new installations.

We also install fireplaces and inserts, replace prefab units, and convert fireplaces from one fuel type to another. We work on all major brands, so an older or less common unit is still worth asking about.

Dryer vents

A clogged dryer vent shows up as long drying times, a hot laundry room or a burning smell. We clean vents and remove lint and blockages, including vents that exit through the roof, and we test airflow afterward. When a vent run is too long, crushed or badly routed, we repair, replace or reroute it and replace worn exterior covers.

Homes and businesses next door

We serve the surrounding towns as well, including Belvedere, Sausalito and Corte Madera. Commercial and property-manager work is offered for owners with more than one building.

Tiburon chimney & vent questions

Do you also cover towns near Tiburon?

Yes. Our service area includes nearby towns such as Belvedere, Sausalito, Corte Madera and Mill Valley.

What should I do if I hear animals in my chimney?

Keep the damper closed, don't light a fire, and call us. Only close it once the fireplace is completely cold and no stove, furnace or water heater vents into that flue. We remove animals and nests from the flue and can add a screen or cap so they don't move back in.

Should I have my chimney looked at after a storm?

Yes, if wind, falling branches or heavy rain may have hit the roof. We check for loosened caps, cracked crowns or flashing that has pulled away, and we can make the repairs we find.

How can I tell my dryer vent needs attention?

Clothes that need more than one cycle, a laundry room that gets unusually hot, or a burning smell during a load are the common signs. If you smell burning, turn the dryer off and unplug it until the vent is checked. Lint collecting around the exterior cover is another clue.
