Chimney Service in San Francisco
San Francisco's dense Victorian and Edwardian housing stock — built largely between 1880 and 1915 — contains some of the oldest operating fireplaces in California. Many of these ornate cast-iron and carved-wood mantels conceal deteriorated clay flues or, in some cases, original unlined masonry fireplace openings. The foggy, damp microclimate accelerates moss growth on masonry and rust on metal components. BAAQMD Spare the Air rules restrict wood burning city-wide on high-pollution days.
What San Francisco Homeowners Need to Know
San Francisco's earthquake history — 1906 and 1989 — means structural chimney damage is common in pre-war buildings. Many SF chimneys were retrofitted with stainless liners after 1989, but those liners are now approaching the end of their 25-year service window. Any SF homeowner who hasn't had a liner inspection in the last 5 years should schedule one.

Michael T.
Los Angeles · November 2024
“They showed up on time, laid drop cloths everywhere, and the chimney was done in 90 minutes. The technician walked me through the inspection photos and explained what he found. Absolutely zero mess. Booked them again for next year already.”
Sandra R.
Pasadena · October 2024
“Used them for a Level 2 inspection before closing on our 1940s Craftsman. They produced a full written report with photos that our lender accepted same day. Found a cracked flue tile that the previous home inspector completely missed. Worth every dollar.”
James K.
San Diego · December 2024
“Best price I found after calling four companies, and the quality was better too. The technician was a true professional — CSIA certified, explained everything, no upsell pressure. The fireplace drafts perfectly now. Highly recommend.”
Patricia L.
Sacramento · January 2025
“Scheduled online Monday, they were here Wednesday morning. Cleaned the chimney and replaced our deteriorated chimney cap in the same visit. The chimney was caked with stage 2 creosote — we had no idea. The technician was patient answering all my questions.”
David M.
Oakland · February 2025
“Had an issue with smoke backing into the house every time we lit a fire. They diagnosed a damaged damper plate and replaced it the same day. Problem solved completely. The technician explained that our previous sweep had missed this — now I know who to call going forward.”
Jennifer W.
Irvine · March 2025
“Great service overall. They cleaned the dryer vent and chimney in one visit. The vent had a significant lint build-up — clothes are drying in one cycle again. Would give 5 stars but scheduling took a couple of days due to their busy season.”
