What we see on Burbank chimneys
Burbank is dominated by mid-century single-story homes, many with the original brick fireplace and a short, wide flue. Short flues draft poorly at the best of times, so smoke-in-the-room complaints here are frequently a draft problem rather than a dirty chimney.

New cover fitted over the chase and the flue capped — the rust it replaced is still showing underneath.
Stainless liner run down the chase
The chase opened at the roof and a single length of stainless flex liner fed down it.
