Professional Chimney Pipe Installation by Bay Area Experts

Whether you’re installing a brand-new stove or replacing an outdated system, The Chimney Guards has the expertise to install chimney pipes that work efficiently and safely. We’ve been serving San Francisco and surrounding Bay Area communities since 2015, providing trusted, code-compliant installations for both masonry and prefabricated chimney systems.

Our team handles everything from single-wall and double-wall stove pipes to Class A chimney pipe systems—all installed with precision and care.

Why Chimney Pipe Installation Is So Important

The chimney pipe (or flue pipe) is the critical passage that carries smoke, gases, and byproducts from your fireplace, stove, or heating appliance out of your home. An improperly installed pipe can lead to poor ventilation, smoke backflow, carbon monoxide buildup, or even house fires.

Proper chimney pipe installation:

  • Prevents harmful gas leaks, especially carbon monoxide

  • Improves heating system performance and energy efficiency

  • Extends the life of your chimney and appliance

  • Ensures compliance with local fire and building codes

  • Reduces the risk of chimney fires and moisture intrusion

Whether you’re installing a wood-burning stove, gas unit, or new chimney system, we’ll make sure your chimney pipe is sized, fitted, and vented the right way.
