Learn MoreWhat we check first on La Mirada chimneys
Barely any La Mirada homes predate 1950, yet close to 80 percent were standing by 1980. That puts most fireplaces in brick from the tract years, with some factory-built units later, and we check whichever type you have for creosote and cracks. Late spring clouds and winter rain bring dampness that works on crowns over time, though frost is uncommon. Residents felt Whittier Narrows in 1987, and a chimney from before then has had time to develop hidden faults.
The Flue and the Fuel
How much creosote is in the flue, and what stage it has reached, on stucco and wood ranch-style houses, post-war brick fireplaces, and condos and townhomes added later.
Embers and Wind
Every La Mirada 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 Mirada home sale, a fuel change or after a chimney fire.
