Learn MoreWhat we check first on Los Angeles chimneys
Los Angeles is outside our home county, so we book visits here ahead of time and keep them to fire safety work: sweeping out creosote, checking the liner for cracks that heat can pass through, and fitting spark arrestor caps on homes near the hills. Brush fire season reaches the Santa Monica Mountains and the foothill edges of Los Angeles every fall. An ember that leaves an open flue can land on dry brush, so a capped, screened chimney is the first fix we suggest for hillside homes.
The Flue and the Fuel
How much creosote is in the flue, and what stage it has reached, on pre-war brick chimneys in older neighborhoods, Valley ranch houses with exterior stacks, and hillside homes in brush country.
Embers and Wind
Every Los Angeles 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 Los Angeles home sale, a fuel change or after a chimney fire.
