Learn MoreWhat we check first on Santa Monica chimneys
Just 1 in 5 Santa Monica homes is detached, mostly in places like North of Montana. Ocean Park bungalows and multi-unit buildings sit close together, so a flue crack puts neighbors at risk too, and we flag it in plain language for the owner. A fault named for the city runs right through it, and salt air eats steel caps and flashing faster than it would inland. Winter rain then finds any crack in the crown and shows up as a leak indoors.
The Flue and the Fuel
How much creosote is in the flue, and what stage it has reached, on small multi-unit buildings and bungalows in Ocean Park, apartments everywhere, and bigger detached homes North of Montana.
Embers and Wind
Every Santa Monica 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 Santa Monica home sale, a fuel change or after a chimney fire.
