Learn MoreWhat we check first on Covina chimneys
Roughly 1 in 20 homes in Covina predates 1950, so most chimneys here date from the mid-century building years rather than the citrus days. We clear the flue, name the buildup, and say how often your burning habits call for a sweep. Hot sun and wide daily swings wear on crowns here, and rain follows from November through April. Santa Ana gusts can shake a poorly fastened cap loose, and a flue without a screen gives sparks a way out.
The Flue and the Fuel
How much creosote is in the flue, and what stage it has reached, on early bungalows near downtown, mid-century homes, and apartments and condos along corridors.
Embers and Wind
Every Covina 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 Covina home sale, a fuel change or after a chimney fire.
