Learn MoreWhat we check first on Long Beach chimneys
Long Beach built in waves, from Craftsman streets through 1920s Spanish Revival to the big eastern tracts after the war. A third of all homes predate 1950, and we treat an old brick flue as guilty until the liner check clears it. The Newport-Inglewood Fault runs beneath this city and Signal Hill. Damp May and June mornings wear on caps near the shore, and rain from November through March soaks whatever the fault's movement has opened.
The Flue and the Fuel
How much creosote is in the flue, and what stage it has reached, on Craftsman streets, 1920s Spanish Revival, big eastern post-war tracts, and shoreline condos and high-rises.
Embers and Wind
Every Long Beach 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 Long Beach home sale, a fuel change or after a chimney fire.
