Sweep & Cleaning
Chimney Sweep
The full professional sweep: rotary brushes scrub the flue from top to bottom while a HEPA vacuum keeps every speck of soot sealed in — the visit that keeps a chimney safe to burn in. Coastal Walnut chimneys get a close look at the damper and cap, where marine-layer damp rusts metal first. That local standard is what chimney sweep in Walnut, CA means with Chimney Service Co.

Sweep & Cleaning
Chimney Cleaning
In foothill homes near Walnut, a winter of real wood heat leaves serious buildup behind.

Inspection & Care
Chimney Inspection
A full inspection of flue, liner, cap, crown, flashing and firebox — camera inside the flue, with a plain-language report of what is safe, what is not, and what can wait. In Los Angeles County, coastal damp reaches the damper and liner top, so those metal and tile sections get as close a look as the firebox.

The screen stops birds and wind-blown leaves from settling in an idle flue, without narrowing the opening a fire needs to draw.

A chimney in Walnut lives with California all at once - ground that shifts, a dry season that punishes creosote, and coastal damp that soaks masonry and rusts metal. This is what we actually find here, and what we check on every visit.
A dry California season turns ordinary creosote buildup into a serious flue-fire risk, and a flue fire throws sparks and embers onto a dry roof. A swept, inspected flue and a sound, screened cap are the two defenses a Walnut chimney has - both are checked on every sweep visit.
A Walnut chimney can sit unused through a long, hot summer, then get lit on the first cool night with no warning and no check. Dust, cobwebs, bird nesting and tired mortar all wait in an idle flue. A fall sweep and inspection catch them before that first fire does.
Dry seasonal winds drop leaves, twigs and grit into open flues across Walnut, and blow loose caps and cracked crowns further open. Debris in a flue restricts draft and adds fuel nobody put there on purpose. A sound, screened cap keeps the flue clear without hurting the draw.
Plenty of Walnut buyers inherit a chimney with no history - original masonry, a liner nobody documented, or a flue that sat idle for years. In seismic country that unknown matters more, not less. An inspection before the first fire tells you exactly what you have and what it needs.

Same-day service, free estimates, licensed & insured — and a flue you can see on camera, clean from top to bottom.
Yes - before you light it again. Ground movement cracks flue tiles, opens mortar joints and shifts caps, and most of that damage hides inside the chimney where nobody can see it. A camera inspection checks the flue end to end and gives you a plain-language report, so the first fire after a shake burns in a system known to be sound.
Dry conditions raise the cost of a flue fire: sparks and embers land on a dry roof and dry landscaping. Keeping creosote swept out, the liner sound and a screened cap fitted lowers that risk a great deal. If your Walnut chimney has not been swept in a year, do it before burn season, not during it.
It can be. Cracked or missing mortar lets water into the chimney and heat out toward the framing, and movement and weather widen cracks over time. Small joint repairs are straightforward when caught early. We check the masonry and the flue lining on camera in Walnut and tell you plainly what is repairable and what needs more work.
Yes. The liner is what keeps heat and exhaust gases inside the flue and away from framing and the rooms the chimney passes. Cracked tiles or gaps at the joints let both escape where they should never go. Liner faults are invisible from the firebox, which is why we diagnose them on camera first, then repair the sections that failed.
Not until it has been inspected. That chimney could be original masonry with cracked tiles, a liner nobody documented, or a flue idle for years, and none of it is visible from the room. One inspection with a camera tells you what you have, whether it is safe to light, and what it needs - in writing.
No — and be wary of anyone who does. Every chimney fails differently, so a phone price is a guess that changes at your door. Our estimates are free: a tech looks at the actual problem, then gives you one clear price before any work starts.
