Services
Chimney Cleaning
Our chimney cleaning removes creosote buildup and debris to prevent fires and ensure safe operation. We use commercial-grade tools to clear flues, improving airflow and reducing carbon monoxide risks. Regular cleanings maintain compliance with California safety standards.
Chimney Inspection
We conduct Level 13 inspections to assess chimney integrity, identifying issues like leaks or structural damage. Video imaging detects hidden problems, ensuring compliance with NFPA annual inspection guidelines. Inspections cover caps, crowns, and internal components.
Chimney Repair
Our repairs address masonry damage, flashing leaks, and liner issues using code-compliant materials. Services include tuckpointing, crown restoration, and damper replacement. Historic chimneys receive specialized care to match original construction.
Dryer Vent Cleaning
We clear lint and debris from dryer vents to prevent fire hazards and improve appliance efficiency. Blocked vents are diagnosed and cleaned to reduce energy costs and carbon monoxide exposure in gas dryer systems.
Fireplace Installation
We install wood, gas, and electric fireplaces with proper venting and safety features. Custom solutions fit existing spaces, adhering to local building codes. Post-installation guidance ensures safe operation and maintenance.
