Learn MoreWhat we check first on La Verne chimneys
The Lordsburg years of the late 1880s left early bungalows by Old Town, while custom foothill homes fill the north end of La Verne. Age and exposure differ, so we report each chimney on its own: creosote, liner, cap. Summers run hotter here than at the coast, and Santa Anas can blow hard across this end of the valley. With the Sierra Madre Fault zone along the mountains close by, a shifted flue is worth ruling out.
The Flue and the Fuel
How much creosote is in the flue, and what stage it has reached, on early bungalows near Old Town, hillside and foothill custom homes, and later houses from the 1970s.
Embers and Wind
Every La Verne 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 Verne home sale, a fuel change or after a chimney fire.
