Maintenance
According to The National Fire Protection Association
“Chimneys, fireplaces, and vents shall be inspected at least once a year for soundness, freedom from deposits, and correct clearances. Cleaning, maintenance, and repairs shall be done if necessary.”
Proper Maintenance of seals, gaskets, blowers and fireboxes are equally important! We’re the pros, Since 1977 we’ve been keeping homes safe throughout Sonoma County.
Safety is everything and efficiency comes in a close second in terms of routine maintenance. The very nature of burning wood products efficiently relys on proper maintenance.
Trust a licensed contractor with decades of experience to maintain your chimney and stove…
Some stoves are ready for retirement, and some just need a pro to bring them back to their full potential. We can inspect your Wood Stove or Insert and determine if it functioning up to its full potential both for efficiency and heat output.

And, the masonry in your chimney and surrounds your insert also require inspection and repairs if needed.
Defective mortar can lead to cold air drafts in your home, insect infestation, and water seepage. In extreme cases, it can cause the brick to fall away. Routine maintenance is your best defense to keep your masonry sound.
We are up on your roof anyway, so why not have us clean it and your gutters?
An ember from any nearby wildfire or fire in your neighborhood could easily ignite any leaves, twigs, or other fuel that has accumulated on your roof or in your gutters!
Also, roofs can build up moss, which as it grows will damage your tiles and potentially cause leaks. Eliminate the moss and you will eliminate the risk!
A clogged gutter in time can cause damage to your roof and the substrate it is laid on. It can also cause damage to your exterior walls, foundation, and landscaping due to the water not being diverted away from your home.
Many people do not know that a clogged dryer vent can cause a dryer to catch fire!
The risk is real! Excessive build-up of lint in the venting hose traps the heat used to dry your clothes. It can reach a point where the trapped heat can create a fire in your dryer.
That same type of blockage can greatly reduce the dryer’s efficiency leading to longer drying times and higher utility bills!
Once again having a professional with the right tools is your best option for your safety and your dryer’s efficiency!
