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 inserts 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 Inserts 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 Inserts 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.
