Chimney sweep logs do not sweep chimneys. They loosen some creosote - which then falls where a brush and vacuum still have to collect it.
Chimney Company in Sedco Hills, CA
Chimney repair in Sedco Hills is different from what you’d find in a tract-home suburb. Most properties here sit on larger rural lots with wood stoves, fireplace inserts, or manufactured-home flue systems that have been exposed to decades of inland heat and wind. Mantel Chimney Sweep has served Sedco Hills since 2018, and the work we do here usually involves multiple flues on a single parcel, exterior metal piping that’s weathered badly, and creosote conditions from oak and eucalyptus firewood that burn differently than the pine common in mountain towns. Call (844) 821-5749 when you need a chimney company that repairs what others can only report.
Why Sedco Hills Homes Are Different
Sedco Hills is a small, semi-rural community in the hills west of Lake Elsinore. Most homes are on well and septic, and many properties include detached shops, guest quarters, or manufactured homes. That means chimney cleaning and repair here often means servicing multiple flues and stove pipes across one parcel, not just a single fireplace in a suburban living room. We routinely work on properties where a main house has one flue, a detached shop has a wood stove pipe, and a guest unit has its own venting, all of which need attention before burn season.
Housing stock in Sedco Hills is a mix of older ranch-style homes, custom rural builds, and manufactured or mobile homes on larger lots, many dating from the 1970s through the 1990s. Chimney systems are frequently wood-stove or insert setups with exterior metal flues rather than masonry fireplaces. Exterior pipes here are exposed to wind, dust, and summer heat, so warped caps, rusted pipe sections, and failing chase covers are common. The area sits near the Elsinore and Cleveland National Forest wildland edge, which means wood burning is common in winter and wildfire-season defensible-space and spark-arrestor concerns are real. A chimney that isn’t properly capped or maintained can send embers where they don’t belong.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Sedco Hills Services
Sedco Hills homeowners call us most often for two things: a thorough chimney sweep before burn season and a dryer vent cleaning that addresses one of the leading causes of residential fires. Here’s what each job involves in this area.
Chimney Sweep in Sedco Hills
A sweep in Sedco Hills usually means glazed creosote from oak and eucalyptus, which burns hotter and sticks harder than the dry pine residue you’d find in mountain communities. We clean flues serving wood stoves, inserts, and manufactured-home systems, and we photograph the results so you can see the condition of the flue before and after. If the sweep turns up damaged flue tiles or rusted metal pipe, we can move straight to repair because that capability sits under the same roof. Learn more about what a Chimney Sweep in Sedco Hills includes and what it costs.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Sedco Hills
Many Sedco Hills homes have laundry rooms in outbuildings or long vent runs through walls and roofs that rarely get looked at. Lint builds up, airflow drops, and the dryer has to work harder, which is how fires start. We clear the full vent run, check the termination point for blockages, and confirm the system vents properly. It’s a dedicated service, not an add-on, because we treat dryer vents as its own fire hazard. See what a Dryer Vent Cleaning in Sedco Hills covers and how to know if yours is clogged.

Chimney Repair in Sedco Hills
Chimney repair in Sedco Hills usually comes down to exterior metal flues and chimney caps that have been baked by inland sun and battered by ridgeline wind for 30 or 40 years. Homeowners here often discover a problem during a sweep; they don’t see the rusted chase cover or cracked crown until someone gets on the roof or runs a camera up the flue. We repair what other companies can only report, using materials like HeatShield for flue restoration and DuraFlex stainless steel liner systems for full replacements. Our full Chimney Repair scope includes caps, liners, flashing, and crowns, diagnosed and fixed by one crew.
Chimney Cap Installation
Signs you need it
You can see daylight or rust through the existing cap, birds are nesting in the flue, or rain is obviously getting in.
What it costs in Sedco Hills
Chimney cap installation in Sedco Hills typically runs $145 to $345 for the cap and labor, depending on flue size and roof access.
How we do it
We measure the flue, select a stainless or copper cap sized correctly, and secure it so wind and embers can’t get around it.
Chimney Liner Installation
Signs you need it
A chimney sweep camera shows cracked flue tiles, gaps between sections, or rusted-through metal liner that can’t safely vent exhaust.
What it costs in Sedco Hills
Chimney liner installation in Sedco Hills typically runs $1,700 to $4,900 depending on flue length, liner material, and roof pitch.
How we do it
We size a DuraFlex flexible stainless liner to the flue, insulate as needed, and run it from appliance to cap in a single continuous pipe.
Chimney Flashing Repair
Signs you need it
Water stains on the ceiling near the chimney, damp drywall, or visible gaps in the metal where the chimney meets the roofline.
What it costs in Sedco Hills
Chimney flashing repair in Sedco Hills typically runs $300 to $700 for sealing or replacing flashing on a standard roof penetration.
How we do it
We remove compromised flashing, install new step and counter flashing, and seal the penetration so water runs off instead of into the chase.
Chimney Crown Repair
Signs you need it
The concrete crown on a masonry chimney is cracked, spalled, or missing chunks, letting water soak into the brick and flue.
What it costs in Sedco Hills
Chimney crown repair in Sedco Hills typically runs $300 to $850 depending on crown size and whether we’re patching or recasting it.
How we do it
We clean and prep the crown, fill cracks with a proper crown sealant, and recast the surface with the right slope to shed water.
What Chimney Repair Costs in Sedco Hills
| Item | Typical range in Sedco Hills |
|---|---|
| Chimney cap (supply + install) | $145 – $345 |
| Chimney liner (supply + install) | $1,700 – $4,900 |
| Chimney flashing repair | $300 – $700 |
Actual price depends on roof access, flue length, and whether we’re replacing a cap or rebuilding the chase top. We quote a flat price before any work begins, so there’s no surprise line item after the fact.
Can you repair my chimney without replacing the whole liner?
Often, yes. If the flue has minor cracks or gaps, we can apply HeatShield, a cerfractory sealant used by professional chimney repair companies, to restore it without a full liner replacement. Call (844) 821-5749 for an exact quote after a camera inspection.
Do I need a new liner if my chimney sweep found rust?
Rusted metal pipe usually means the inner wall is compromised and exhaust can leak into the home. We’ll camera the flue first so you can see exactly what we’re seeing, then recommend repair or replacement. Call (844) 821-5749 for a free estimate.
Brands We Service in Sedco Hills
We work with a curated set of chimney-industry brands including HeatShield, Gelco, and Olympia Chimney, and we keep the most common parts for Sedco Hills homes stocked locally. If your stove pipe, cap, or liner needs a specific component, we usually have it on the truck or can source it within a day. That means less waiting between diagnosis and repair. See our brands for the full list.

What Sedco Hills Customers Say
"Crown was cracked and taking water. Repaired it rather than quoting a rebuild, which the previous company had pushed hard for."
— Gilbert Garcia"They were the only ones willing to just tell me the price. Everyone else wanted to "come take a look" first, which in my experience means come apply pressure in person."
— Matt Delaney"Level two inspection before we bought the house. The report was detailed enough to use as a negotiating point and he explained every photo in it."
