HDR is a member in good standing of the National Chimney Sweep Guild and the Golden Gate Chimney Sweep Guild as well as being a Licensed California Contractor (lic. # 720621) with twelve years of experience. We are interested in the continued well-being of your home. Your home chimney needs to be evaluated annually and swept as required. Your chimney should be well maintained to ensure its safe use.

Chimney Evaluation:

The inspection of chimneys is important to detect problems with the venting system. Heating appliances and their venting systems can be hazardous when not properly installed, or when damage or deterioration has occurred. HDR will evaluate these areas as well as the firebox, chimney, damper, chimney cap, spark arrestor, and will provide you with a complete 21-point Condition Report. HDR will also prepare a proposal if additional attention or repairs are noted. An evaluation prepared by HDR is required before any estimate or repair can begin, even if another company has already provided their own.

Chimney Sweep:

HDR will evaluate the firebox, chimney, damper, chimney cap and spark arrestor and sweep the chimney and firebox. We will provide you with a complete 21-point Condition Report and prepare a proposal for any additional work noted. The spark arrestor will be carefully reattached. All debris will be hauled off the site or the ash is wonderful for the garden and if you would like we can leave it.

Spark Arrestor/Rain Cap:

HDR will purchase and install a spark arrestor/rain cap combination to code. The spark arrestor is required in many municipalities and often at the time of sale of a home.
