Learn MoreWhat we check first on Calabasas chimneys
Most of Calabasas went up after the 1970s, so the chimney is often a metal pipe in a stucco chase, not masonry. We check that pipe and its cap from end to end, because embers and heat both exploit weak joints. January 2025 brought evacuation orders here during the Kenneth Fire. Santa Anas test every cap in these hills, so a secure spark arrestor belongs in place before fire weather starts.
The Flue and the Fuel
How much creosote is in the flue, and what stage it has reached, on gated master-planned tracts, tile-roofed stucco in Mediterranean and contemporary styles, and framed chases with metal fireplaces.
Embers and Wind
Every Calabasas 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 Calabasas home sale, a fuel change or after a chimney fire.
