Pros will begin by examining the chimney's exterior, checking the cap, crown, and flashing for any signs of damage or wear. This is essential for preventing water intrusion, a common issue in the Bay Area's varied climate. They then move inside to inspect the flue liner and smoke chamber, looking for soot, creosote, and any signs of deterioration. The damper is checked to ensure it operates smoothly and seals properly. They also assess the firebox and overall structural integrity of the chimney. This detailed assessment ensures your chimney is safe and draws properly. Call now for a free estimate.

What affects the price

Cleaning costs depend on a few specific things regarding your fireplace setup. We look at the total height of the chimney, the number of flues, and how much creosote buildup has accumulated over time. If your chimney has been neglected for several seasons, or if there are blockages like animal nests or heavy debris, the labor required increases. The type of liner and the fireplace architecture also play a role in the complexity of the service. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
