Learn MoreWhat we watch for in Torrance
Plenty of Torrance homes still run the fireplace they were built with in the 1950s and 1960s. Creosote builds up in that flue in layers, and the shiny, glazed kind is hard to spot and burns hot once it catches. We sweep it out, look at the liner behind it, and tell you plainly whether the fireplace is ready for a fire. Homes near Walteria and the Riviera see more salt on the cap than inland Torrance does. Further inland the more common find is a damper that no longer opens fully, which slows the draft and lets smoke roll back out of the firebox.
What Could Feed a Fire
Glazed creosote in flues that have been used for a long time, which is hard to see and burns very hot once it catches.
How Fumes Could Get In
Dampers that stick partway and slow the draft, and liner cracks hidden behind old soot.
What We Check First
How much creosote is in the flue, and what kind, before anything else.
