Sweeps, Caps and Liners
Few things set a room off like a fire going while the house fills up with company. The trouble is that a smoky flue or a sulking pilot light tends to show itself at exactly the wrong moment. Chimney Sweep Vancouver books a Chimney Sweep ahead of the gathering season so your first big evening goes smoothly, and our Gas Fireplace Maintenance makes sure the flame lights on the first try. Homes around Vancouver fill up fast in the colder months, and a ready hearth is one less thing to fuss over.
Well ahead of the busy weeks, we brush and vacuum the flue and check the damper and smoke shelf, so a full evening of burning does not turn smoky.
Glass and logs get a wipe-down, ignition is tested and the burner is looked over, so the fireplace lights quickly and looks tidy when everyone gathers round.

Hear from homeowners in Vancouver about how Chimney Sweep Vancouver transformed their chimney and fireplace experience with reliable, professional services you can trust.
Where the chimney passes through floors and the roof deck, we check that the surrounding space is closed off with proper material.
Attic insulation should not crowd the chimney. We look at the spacing and point out any piles that sit too close.
Dark or damp roof sheathing near the chimney is a sign that water has been getting in, and it helps trace the source.
Metal chimney sections inside the attic are examined for corrosion, shaky joints and marks that suggest a slow leak.
Light showing through around the chimney can mean open flashing or gaps in the roof, which we note and photograph.
Whatever turns up in the attic is explained to you in simple terms, with photos where access allows.
Gas units look simple from the couch, yet the venting, the pilot and the glass all have their own care rules. The answers below explain what owners can do themselves and what belongs with a qualified gas technician. If you ever smell gas, leave the house and call the gas utility from outside. For anything else about your unit in Vancouver, ask away.
