Chimney services for Union City homes
The work falls into three groups: chimneys and wood-burning fireplaces, gas fireplaces and gas appliances, and dryer vents. Commercial and property-manager work is offered as well.
Chimneys and wood-burning fireplaces
We sweep flues, remove creosote and clear blockages such as nests and debris. When something looks wrong, a chimney inspection with a camera down the flue shows the condition of the liner and the inside of the chimney. Cracked crowns, loose bricks, failed flashing and damaged liners are handled through chimney repair and masonry work. If birds, animals or rain keep getting in from the top, a new chimney cap is usually the fix.
Gas fireplaces
We service, repair and install gas fireplaces, gas logs and fireplace inserts, and we run gas lines for new units. Pilot problems, sooty glass and units that won't stay lit are common reasons to call.
Dryer vents
We clean lint out of dryer vent runs, including vents that exit through the roof. We also test airflow, clear blockages, replace crushed or damaged ducting and vent covers, and reroute vents that run too long or bend too often.
Not sure which service to book?
Match what you're seeing at home to the place to start:
- Haven't used the fireplace in a year or more: start with a sweep and inspection before the first fire.
- Smoke rolls into the room: this is often a draft or blockage problem, so the flue gets checked first.
- Water stains near the chimney or a damp smell: usually flashing, the crown or a missing cap, which calls for a repair visit.
- Scratching or chirping in the chimney: animal and nest removal, then a screen or cap to keep them out.
- Clothes still damp after a full cycle: dryer vent cleaning and an airflow test.
- Gas fireplace won't light or stay lit: gas fireplace service and repair.
