Learn MoreWhat we watch for in Los Angeles
Our Los Angeles calls come mostly from San Pedro, Wilmington and Harbor City, across the harbor from our Long Beach base. Many of these older brick chimneys have been patched more than once, and a patch on the outside can hide a gap in the liner. We put a camera on the liner itself before we call a fireplace safe to use. These neighborhoods breathe the same damp, salty harbor air as Long Beach, so caps and dampers rust. They also rode out the 1994 Northridge earthquake, which can leave cracked flue tiles that only show up on camera.
What Could Feed a Fire
Creosote in flues on older brick chimneys, and patches that leave the inside of the flue rough and easy for deposits to stick to.
How Fumes Could Get In
Cracked flue tiles left by the 1994 Northridge earthquake, hidden behind patched brick on the outside.
What We Check First
The liner by camera, since a patched outside can hide a damaged flue inside.

We often visit San Pedro, Harbor City and Wilmington on the same day as Los Angeles.
