Why homeowners pick us

Why do San Diego homeowners choose Draft Pro San Diego?

San Diego chimneys face specific challenges. Coastal salt air eats mortar and rusts galvanized flashing. Inland thermal cycling cracks crowns and flue tile. Backcountry freeze-thaw and heavy wood-stove use builds Stage 3 creosote fast. We know the county, the conditions, and the right repair.

  • CSIA-trained sweeps, not handymen. Every tech holds a current Chimney Sweep Institute certification. Real training, real standards.
  • Camera scan included with every inspection. You see what we see. Full color video, top to bottom, saved with your written report.
  • Flat-rate quotes, in writing, before we start. No hourly billing, no surprise line items. The price you hear is the price you pay.
  • C-29 licensed for masonry work. Crown rebuild, tuckpointing, brick replacement, partial chimney rebuild. Full warranty on structural work.

Real feedback

What homeowners across the county say

Bought our 1980s house with no service history on the fireplace. Their camera scan found a cracked clay tile we never would have spotted. Sweep was dust-free — couldn't tell they'd been in our living room. Written report in my inbox the next morning.

Melissa R. Chimney Sweep & Inspection · Carlsbad

Called for a leak that two roofers had blamed on the roof. Their tech ran a hose test and showed me it was the crown — pictures and everything. Crown rebuild stopped the leak the same week. Honest work and clear pricing.

David K. Chimney Crown Repair · El Cajon

Raccoons in the chimney for two seasons. Other companies wanted to sell me a full inspection package first. Draft Pro came out, installed a stainless cap with proper mesh, and the noises stopped that night. Fair price.

Priya S. Cap Installation · Encinitas

On the annual plan now. They show up when they say, do the work, and email a written report with photos. Found a small flashing issue last visit before it became a real leak. Worth every dollar.

Tom B. Annual Sweep Service · Poway

Needed a CSIA Level 2 inspection during escrow on a 24-hour turnaround. They came out the next morning, did the camera scan, and had a full written report by end of day. Lender accepted it without questions. Saved my closing.

Angela M. Pre-Sale Level 2 Inspection · Chula Vista

Inherited a wood stove from the previous owner, no idea when it was last serviced. Their inspection found Stage 3 glazed creosote — they explained it would have been a chimney fire waiting to happen. Two-visit removal with PCR. Stove burns hot and clean now.

All FAQs
What areas in San Diego County do you service?

Every city in San Diego County — from coastal Coronado, Carlsbad, and Encinitas, to inland Escondido, San Marcos, and Poway, through East County (El Cajon, Santee, Alpine), South County (Chula Vista, Bonita), Central San Diego (Hillcrest, North Park, Mission Hills), and the backcountry (Julian, Pine Valley, Mount Laguna). If you're in the county, we cover you.

How much does a chimney sweep cost?

Standard sweep with a Level 1 inspection runs $189 for a single open masonry fireplace. Stage 2 creosote removal adds $200–$400; Stage 3 glazed buildup starts at $750. Inspections start at $89 and the fee is credited toward any cleaning that follows.

How often should my chimney be swept?

Annual inspection for any chimney that vents a fireplace or stove — that's the CSIA and NFPA 211 standard. Cleaning depends on use: most San Diego homes burning 1–2 cords a year need a full sweep every 1–2 seasons. Heavy users or anyone burning soft, wet, or green wood need it every season.

Do you do a Level 2 inspection for home sales?

Yes. Level 2 inspections during escrow get prioritized — typically 24–48 hour turnaround. Includes a full color camera scan top to bottom, attic and basement check, and a written report with photos formatted for lenders, insurers, and disclosure.

Are you licensed for masonry repair?

Yes. We carry a California C-29 masonry license and handle tuckpointing, brick replacement, crown rebuild, flashing repair, and partial chimney rebuilds. All structural work comes with a written warranty.
