Des Moines’ wet climate accelerates creosote buildup, turning your chimney into a fire hazard. Our **chimney sweep** service removes all three stages of creosote (glaze, tar, and soot) using rotary brushes and vacuum systems, leaving your flue spotless. We also inspect for cracks, corrosion, or animal nests—common in older homes near the Des Moines River valley. A clean chimney burns hotter, reduces creosote reformation, and extends the life of your fireplace. Schedule before the first cold snap to avoid last-minute cancellations during holiday rush.

Our **dryer vent cleaning** includes removing lint from the vent pipe, dryer cabinet, and outdoor exhaust, plus checking for blockages or damaged ducts. We use a high-powered vacuum to pull out debris and a camera inspection to spot hidden issues. A clean vent cuts drying time by 30%, saves energy, and meets Des Moines’ building code requirements. Add a lint trap inspection to your **chimney sweep** visit for a complete home safety check.
Request this service →Not all chimneys in Des Moines are built the same—some struggle with moisture from the nearby Cascade foothills, while others have outdated masonry that cracks under seasonal temperature swings. Our **chimney inspection** checks for structural integrity, proper clearance, and ventilation issues that could trap carbon monoxide. We’ll flag anything needing repair, from corroded flue liners to blocked caps, and provide a clear estimate for fixes. This isn’t just a formality; it’s your first line of defense against costly winter repairs. Schedule yours before your first fire of the season.
Request this service →Wood and pellet stoves in Des Moines homes often develop soot buildup in the stove pipe and combustion chamber, reducing heat output and increasing fuel costs. Our team cleans the stove pipe, baffle, and ash pan using specialized tools, then inspects the gaskets and door seals for leaks. A clean stove burns cleaner, lasts longer, and meets Des Moines’ air quality regulations. We’ll also check your stove’s draft and adjust the damper for optimal performance. Combine this with your **chimney sweep** for a complete heating system tune-up before winter.
Request this service →Des Moines’ rainy winters take a toll on chimney masonry, causing mortar joints to crumble and bricks to deteriorate. Our **chimney repair** services include repointing with flexible, weather-resistant mortar, tuckpointing for cosmetic restoration, and full rebuilds for severe damage. We use materials that match your chimney’s original design and withstand the region’s moisture. Ignoring cracks or leaning bricks can lead to water intrusion, which freezes and expands in winter—causing even more damage. Fix it now to avoid a full chimney replacement down the road.
Request this service →Old or damaged dryer vents in Des Moines homes often have sharp bends, crushed sections, or improper connections—all fire hazards. Our **dryer vent relining** replaces worn-out flexible ducts with smooth, fire-resistant metal liners that improve airflow and reduce drying time. For severe cases, we install rigid aluminum pipes that meet current codes and last decades. We’ll also ensure the vent exits safely away from windows or eaves, a common oversight in older homes. Upgrade now to avoid a lint fire during your next load of towels.
