Learn MoreWhat we check first on La Canada Flintridge chimneys
A sloping lot can stretch a brick chimney unusually tall in La Canada Flintridge, and most of these stacks are now past 60 years old. Height adds strain, so we inspect the full run, then its liner and creosote stage. Canyon winds and Santa Anas loosen caps and flashing at this foot of the San Gabriels. Along the mountains here runs the Sierra Madre Fault zone, and the debris flows of 2010 show how fire and rain work together.
The Flue and the Fuel
How much creosote is in the flue, and what stage it has reached, on period Monterey and Spanish estates in Flintridge, mid-century custom houses on slopes, and tall brick chimneys.
Embers and Wind
Every La Canada Flintridge 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 La Canada Flintridge home sale, a fuel change or after a chimney fire.
