Learn MoreWhat we check first on Lawndale chimneys
Under 4 in 10 Lawndale households own, so the person living beside an older brick chimney may not control it. For owners, we keep it simple: clear the flue, say what stage of creosote came out, and point out any crack. Marine air keeps summer mild and frost is rare, so brick wears slowly here. AQMD can call off wood fires on winter alert days, and the Newport-Inglewood Fault passes close by to the east.
The Flue and the Fuel
How much creosote is in the flue, and what stage it has reached, on older houses with brick masonry chimneys, post-war homes, and a large share of rentals.
Embers and Wind
Every Lawndale 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 Lawndale home sale, a fuel change or after a chimney fire.
