Sherman Oaks chimneys, and what actually brings in the service calls

In Sherman Oaks we see two kinds of fireplace side by side. On the flats, a lot of houses have a factory-built metal unit behind the surround. Up the hill, there is more brick. The questions differ: on a metal unit we look at the firebox panels, the chimney pipe and the cap; on brick we look at the mortar, the crown and the flue tiles. That background shapes every fireplace cleaning visit we run here, from what's loaded on the truck to how long we block off and what follow-up, if any, we recommend.

right next door to Tarzana, to the east

Fireplace Cleaning in Encino

Encino is the nearest area page to our Tarzana base, and a lot of the lots here are big enough for more than one fireplace: one in the living room, maybe one in a bedroom, and a fire pit or outdoor fireplace out back. When you are not sure which ones are safe to use, we check each one and tell you, one by one, in plain words.

Fireplace Cleaning in Woodland Hills

Woodland Hills is our other next-door neighbor, west of Tarzana. The houses closer to the hills sit nearer to brush than the flats do, so the spark screen on the cap gets a close look on every visit there. On the flats, the questions we hear are more about a damper that will not close or a draft coming down the chimney.

Fireplace Cleaning in Studio City

Studio City calls to Homesure often begin with a smell. A fireplace that has not been lit since spring can give off a sharp, smoky odor on a hot day, and people want to know if that means trouble. Usually it points to soot and creosote sitting in the flue, and a sweep sorts it out. We look first and tell you which it is.

Fireplace Cleaning in Simi Valley

Simi Valley is a drive over the pass for us, so we try to set Simi visits on the same day. Many people there call because they bought a house and do not know when the chimney was last looked at. We start with the basics: is the flue clear, is the cap there, is the damper working. Then we tell you what we found.

Fireplace Cleaning in Burbank

Burbank is at the far side of the Valley from Tarzana, and many of the calls we get from there are about an older factory-built fireplace. People ask if it is still safe. We find the maker's plate when there is one, look at the firebox panels and the pipe, and say whether parts can be replaced or whether the unit is at the end of its life.
