Chimney sweep and repair in Glendale, CA
Also covering Burbank, La Crescenta, Eagle Rock.
What we see on Glendale chimneys
Glendale runs up against the hills, so you get a mix of older masonry in the flats and hillside homes with tall, exposed chimneys. Hillside stacks catch more wind and are harder to reach safely, which is where drone inspection earns its keep.
What we get called out for most in Glendale
Glendale's hillside homes carry tall, exposed chimneys on roofs that are awkward and unsafe to reach. Flying them is both quicker and the only sensible way to photograph a crown up there.
Drone Chimney InspectionWhy California chimneys fail
California chimneys fail differently. Seismic movement cracks masonry and separates chimneys from the house, older unreinforced brick stacks are a known earthquake hazard, and in fire-prone areas a missing or damaged spark arrestor is both a safety problem and a code problem. More on California.

What the work looks like
Our own photographs, from real jobs. Before and after where we have both ends of it.
Cracked crown, and the same crown after
The crown surface is unbroken again, sloped away from the tile and carried out over the brick.
New chase cover and cap
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.
