Elite Fireplace Services | Professional Chimney Sweeps & Fireplace Repair for Folsom Homes

Comprehensive Fireplace, Chimney & Dryer Vent Services in Folsom

Our team provides a wide range of services designed to keep Folsom households comfortable and their systems running reliably. Each service is tailored to address the conditions local homes face, from rainy winters that lead to chimney leaks to heavy laundry loads that clog dryer vents.

Chimney Sweeping

Regular sweeping removes soot and creosote from the flue, improving draft and reducing the chance of chimney fire. In Folsom, where fireplaces see heavier use in the cooler months, annual sweeping is essential to keeping the system efficient and dependable.

Chimney & Fireplace Inspection

We offer Level I, II, and III inspections to match your needs – from a routine yearly check-up to a more detailed camera inspection during a home sale or after storm damage. These inspections help catch problems early and keep repairs manageable.

Gas Fireplace Service & Repair

Gas fireplaces are popular in modern Folsom homes, but like any appliance, they need routine care. Our technicians handle cleanings, ignition and pilot light issues, and component replacements to ensure your gas system operates safely and consistently.

Chimney Repair

Masonry can crack, mortar joints can wear away, and crowns or flashing can deteriorate under constant exposure to the elements. We provide tuckpointing, crown rebuilding, flashing repair, waterproofing, and leak solutions to restore the strength of your chimney structure.

Fireplace Insert Installation

An outdated open fireplace often wastes more heat than it produces. We install modern inserts that fit directly into your existing fireplace, offering improved heating performance, cleaner burning, and updated style – perfect for homeowners looking to boost both efficiency and aesthetics.

Dryer Vent Services

A clogged vent doesn’t just make laundry a chore, it also increases fire risk. Our service includes cleaning the entire vent line, inspecting for hidden damage, and repairing problem areas. After service, you’ll notice faster drying times and lower energy bills.

Every appointment is carried out by trained technicians who combine technical expertise with clear communication. We explain our findings, walk you through your options, and complete the work with respect for your home.

What’s the Difference Between My Dryer’s Lint Trap & the Dryer Vent?

Many homeowners assume that cleaning the lint trap after every load is enough, but the lint trap and the dryer vent are two different parts of the system. The lint trap is the removable filter inside your dryer. It catches some of the lint produced during a cycle, but it doesn’t stop everything. Smaller particles pass through the screen and travel into the dryer vent, the duct that runs out of your home.

The dryer vent’s job is to exhaust hot air and moisture outside. As lint collects in the vent, it restricts airflow. That’s why cleaning the lint trap alone isn’t enough – lint builds up in the vent itself, and over time, that buildup can become a fire hazard or cause the dryer to underperform. Elite Fireplace Services provides thorough dryer vent cleaning for Folsom households, clearing the entire duct so your system works efficiently.

Why Is My Dryer Taking So Long to Dry Clothes?

A dryer that suddenly takes twice as long to finish a load is often dealing with a clogged vent. When lint and debris block airflow, hot air and moisture get trapped inside the drum instead of venting outdoors. Clothes stay damp, cycles take longer, and energy bills rise.

Other signs of restricted airflow include laundry that feels unusually hot, a burning smell while the dryer runs, or lint buildup around the dryer and vent hood. In Folsom homes, these problems are common because lint builds up gradually with everyday use. Professional cleaning restores proper airflow, reduces wear on your dryer, and lowers your utility costs. If you’re noticing these symptoms, Elite Fireplace Services can help.
