Learn MoreWhat we check first on Bell Gardens chimneys
Dust Bowl families put up small homes on cut-up farmland here, and about 3 in 10 houses still date from before 1950. Roughly 8 in 10 households rent, so tenants should ask the owner when the flue last had a safety check. Long Beach's 1933 quake damaged unreinforced masonry around here. A chimney that old may hide cracks, and gusty Santa Ana days can work a badly fastened cap loose, leaving the flue open to sparks.
The Flue and the Fuel
How much creosote is in the flue, and what stage it has reached, on small homes on old farm lots, duplexes, and apartments along the main corridors.
Embers and Wind
Every Bell Gardens 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 a Bell Gardens home sale, a fuel change or after a chimney fire.
