Learn MoreWhat we check first on Los Angeles County chimneys
County-wide, roughly 70 percent of housing predates 1980 and about a quarter predates 1950. Unincorporated pockets and cities alike are booked as planned visits from Ventura, and we keep the work to fire safety: creosote, liner cracks and spark control. Major damage came with each of four quakes here: Long Beach, San Fernando, Whittier Narrows and Northridge. Salt hits the coast, valley heat tops 100 degrees, and Rule 445 no-burn alerts cover the basin but not the Antelope Valley.
The Flue and the Fuel
How much creosote is in the flue, and what stage it has reached, on pre-war brick, post-war tracts across the Valley and South Bay, and many apartments.
Embers and Wind
Every Los Angeles County 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 County home sale, a fuel change or after a chimney fire.
