Brick Chimney and Fireplace Restoration in Arcadia

Many Arcadia properties have been renovated or rebuilt, so original masonry chimneys sit beside newer fireplace systems. Our work here is mostly on the older brick stacks that owners want to keep. We look at the crown, the flashing line and the mortar above the roof, then run a camera through the flue to check the clay tiles. A stack in fair shape can usually be repointed, recrowned and capped. If the liner has failed, relining lets you keep the brick and still use the fireplace safely. Newer gas units get a venting check and a plain note on what we found. Arcadia sits at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains, so it carries both wildfire risk from foothill brush and earthquake exposure. For an older brick chimney that means two checks. We look for cracked or shifted courses after any quake you felt, and we keep a working spark arrestor cap on every flue we restore. Both are quick to check and expensive to ignore.
