Learn MoreWhat we tell Temple City owners
Eight in ten homes are detached houses, with one brick chimney on the typical post-war lot. Simple construction makes it easy to explain. A sweep may be all yours requires. If it needs more, you will know why before you decide. Sierra Madre in 1991 was felt strongly here, and rain since then can find any crack it left. Dry Santa Anas add a different test each fall, loosening a poorly fixed cap and moving embers around.
What We Look at First
Soot in the flue to see if a sweep will do, then the crown and cap.
What Cannot Wait
Heavy creosote buildup, a 1991 crack letting water in, a cap that shifts in gusts.
What Can Wait
A stucco chase with a few sun lines, an old firebox with sound brick, a chipped mantel shelf.

We also go to East San Gabriel, San Marino, South El Monte.
