Pasadena
Pasadena, our home town at the foot of the San Gabriel Mountains
Pasadena is where an Ashgard day starts, so a visit here is usually the quickest to book. We cover the whole city, from the Arroyo Seco and Linda Vista on the west side to East Pasadena and down to the San Marino line. Whatever the fireplace, we begin with the checks that matter for the people inside: does smoke rise cleanly, is there any sign of carbon monoxide risk, and is the flue clear? Then we sweep, photograph each finding, and leave a report you can read at the kitchen table.

Altadena
Altadena, the unincorporated foothill community directly north of Pasadena
The Eaton Fire in January 2025 changed Altadena, and many families here are rebuilding or moving back in. If your home came through the fire, smoke and heat may have stressed the flue even where the brick looks fine from the yard. We run a camera through the liner before anyone lights a fire, check the cap and crown, and write down what is safe to use now and what should wait. For a rebuilt home, we check that the new fireplace and its venting match what the plans call for.
ZIPs: 91001, 91003
Sierra Madre
Sierra Madre, the small foothill city east of Pasadena, right under the mountains
Sierra Madre is a short drive east of Pasadena along the foothills, and its narrow streets climb toward the mountains. A chimney on a tight hillside lot needs a plan for access, so we ask about the lot when you book and protect the garden and walkway on the way in. Inside, we check how the fireplace drafts, whether smoke or fumes could drift toward a bedroom or a nap room, and how the brick and mortar are holding up. Every finding comes with a photo and a plain note on how urgent it is.
ZIPs: 91024, 91025
San Marino
San Marino, the quiet residential city just south of Pasadena
San Marino borders Pasadena to the south, so it sits on our regular route. When a house here has more than one fireplace, we treat each flue as its own safety check. Which rooms does the family use most? Which fireplace sits near a bedroom or a playroom? Those flues get the closest look for draft and smoke spill. Where a surround or hearth has original detail, we cover it during the sweep and repair only what the inspection shows is needed.

An Ashgard Chimney Sweep, Step by Step
Five steps, from the first call to the reminder before next winter. The safety checks always come before the brush goes up the flue.
Tell Us Who Is at Home
Call or send the form. We ask about the fireplace, when it was last used, and who lives in the house, so we know if kids, pets, or an older parent need extra care during the visit.
A Time That Fits the Household
We call back to set a time, often the same day. If naps, school pickup, or a parent's routine matter, tell us and we plan the visit around it.
Safety Checks Before the Sweep
The technician tests the draft, looks for smoke spill and carbon monoxide risk, and inspects the cap and spark arrestor. Then the sweep starts, with drop cloths and a HEPA vacuum to keep soot off the floor.
A Report in Plain Words
You get photos and a short written report. Each finding is marked as a safety item, something to plan for, or cosmetic, so everyone in the family can follow it.
A Reminder Before Burn Season
We check in after any repair, and we send a reminder before the cool months, so the fireplace gets its yearly look before the first fire in Pasadena.

Ashgard Chimney Sweep looks after fireplaces in Pasadena and the foothill towns around it. Each visit is built around one question: is this fireplace safe for everyone who sits near it?
That means testing the draft and smoke spill, looking for carbon monoxide risk around gas units, and making sure the spark arrestor will keep an ember in the flue.
Then we sweep, photograph what we find, and write it up in plain words, so a parent, a grandparent, or a buyer in escrow can all follow it.
Safety for Everyone at Home
We check for smoke spill and carbon monoxide risk on every visit, because the people closest to the fireplace are often kids, pets, and grandparents.
Ember-Safe Foothill Homes
Pasadena sits below the San Gabriel Mountains, and fall winds can carry embers. We inspect every cap and spark arrestor and tell you when a screen has rusted through.
Reports You Can Read
Each report says what we found, why it matters, and what can wait, with photos you can show anyone in the family.
Quick, Considerate Visits
We call back fast, arrive in the window we give, and keep the work area covered so the living room is clean when we leave.
