Learn MoreWhat we check first on Artesia chimneys
Gas logs don't end the need for a check. A brick or block chimney from Artesia's tract years can still have cracked flue tiles, and we look for those before anyone relights it. Long Beach's 1933 quake was the local test for unreinforced stacks, and plenty failed it. Freezes are rare and summers merely warm, so slow mortar wear and old quake cracks are the faults to rule out.
The Flue and the Fuel
How much creosote is in the flue, and what stage it has reached, on gas log conversions in brick or block stacks, and tract houses from the 1950s and 1960s.
Embers and Wind
Every Artesia cap gets its spark arrestor mesh checked for rust and holes, since a screen that has opened up no longer holds an ember.
The Liner
A cracked or missing liner lets the heat of a chimney fire reach the framing. We look at it with a light or a camera before saying the fireplace is fit to use.
NFPA 211 Level
Level 1 for a yearly check, Level 2 with a camera for an Artesia home sale, a fuel change or after a chimney fire.
