Learn MoreWhat we tell Artesia owners
Dairy pasture gave way to tracts, so many chimneys on these streets are now past sixty. If yours runs gas logs, the real question is whether the flue above still works, and we answer it. Rain from November into April gets into an aging crown, and a dry fall gust can knock a badly fixed cap sideways. Chino Hills and La Habra were both widely felt here, so a hairline crack deserves a second look.
What We Look at First
The flue above any gas logs, then the crown and the cap fasteners up top.
What Cannot Wait
A blocked or broken flue over working gas logs, a cap ready to blow off, wet brick inside the firebox.
What Can Wait
A worn gas log set that still lights cleanly, chipped paint on the surround, faint old staining.
