Learn MoreWhat we tell Covina owners
Bought a ranch house here and found a fireplace nobody has used? On streets this age, that is a fair thing to wonder about. We check whether it draws and whether it is safe, then explain anything that needs doing in order. Strong sun with wide daily swings stresses crowns and mortar, and then rain arrives from November through April. Winter nights rarely freeze. So the damage here is slow, and 2008 and 2014 may have added a crack.
What We Look at First
Draw and damper first, then sun-worn crown and the mortar on the upper stack.
What Cannot Wait
Smoke that will not go up, damage in the flue, a crown split open before the rainy months.
What Can Wait
Old paint on the brick, a stiff screen, slow surface wear that a coating can handle later.
