What an inspector checks during chimney level 2 inspection in Alhambra

Homes in Alhambra go back as far as the 1920s and keep going right up to newer construction, so you'll find original brick chimneys next door to houses built last decade. The older stacks have been through a lot of shaking over the years, which means the mortar and the structure underneath both deserve a proper look, not just a glance from the ground.

Alhambra sits far enough inland that summers run hot and dry, and that kind of heat is exactly what speeds up cracking in mortar joints and wears down a chimney crown faster than milder spots closer to the coast. Getting it checked annually catches that damage while it's still small.

A typical visit covers 360° video camera scan of entire flue interior, full inspection of accessible portions per nfpa 211, and required for real estate transactions - meets lender standards, so the scope reflects the chimney's actual condition instead of a flat-rate guess.

Pasadena, our home town at the foot of the San Gabriel Mountains

Chimney Level 2 Inspection in Pasadena

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, the unincorporated foothill community directly north of Pasadena

Chimney Level 2 Inspection in Altadena

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.

San Marino, the quiet residential city just south of Pasadena

Chimney Level 2 Inspection in San Marino

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.

La Canada Flintridge, in the Crescenta Valley foothills just west of Pasadena

Chimney Level 2 Inspection in La Canada Flintridge

Inside, the checks are the same ones we run in Pasadena: draft, smoke spill, carbon monoxide risk around gas units, and the condition of the liner. If grandparents or small children spend time near the fireplace, tell us. We will walk you through the findings that matter most for them before we leave.
