Learn MoreWhat we check first on San Juan Capistrano chimneys
The adobes and board-and-batten houses of Los Rios rank among the oldest in California, though only 2 percent of San Juan Capistrano's housing predates 1950. Old wood frames near a fireplace need extra care, so the liner check leads our visit there. Canyon brush around town is a concern every season, though the city itself has no major wildfire on record. A spark screen matters most on Santa Ana days, and offshore faults add a reason to rule out cracks in older masonry.
The Flue and the Fuel
How much creosote is in the flue, and what stage it has reached, on historic adobes and board-and-batten homes around Los Rios, mid-century houses, and later attached units.
Embers and Wind
Every San Juan Capistrano 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 San Juan Capistrano home sale, a fuel change or after a chimney fire.
