How Chimney Sweep Works in San Rafael

Our proven process ensures thorough, professional results every time.

1

Chimney Inspection

We perform a visual inspection of your chimney, firebox, damper, and flue liner to assess condition and identify any damage or deterioration.

2

Creosote Removal

Using professional chimney brushes and rods, we scrub away creosote, soot, and buildup from the entire flue lining. Creosote is highly flammable and must be removed regularly.

3

Flue Cleaning

We clean the full flue from the firebox to the chimney top, ensuring clear airflow and proper ventilation for safe fireplace operation.

4

Cap & Damper Check

We inspect the chimney cap for damage, ensure the damper opens and closes properly, and check for animal nests or debris blocking the chimney top.

5

Safety Report

After cleaning, we provide a written safety report documenting the condition of your chimney, any issues found, and recommendations for repairs or maintenance.
