Learn MoreWhat we check first on Fountain Valley chimneys
Historic brick is uncommon in Fountain Valley, where only 1 percent of homes predates 1950. Your fireplace is more likely 1970s brick or block, or factory-built metal, and we write up each type's condition from creosote stage to cap. Six miles from the ocean, morning clouds keep this city mild, while Santa Ana days can tear off caps and scatter embers. The 1933 quake's fault passes close by to the southwest.
The Flue and the Fuel
How much creosote is in the flue, and what stage it has reached, on brick or block fireplaces in 1970s tracts, later metal units, and almost no pre-1950 houses.
Embers and Wind
Every Fountain Valley 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 Fountain Valley home sale, a fuel change or after a chimney fire.
