What an inspector checks during chimney sweep in Altadena

Altadena's an unincorporated community, so a lot of what you see driving through dates back to the early 1900s, Craftsman cottages with their original brick stacks mixed in with newer builds going up after the Eaton Fire tore through in January 2025. For a lot of families here, getting a chimney checked out or rebuilt the right way is part of coming back from that.

Living this close to the mountains puts every Altadena chimney in a very high fire hazard zone, and with Santa Ana winds kicking embers around during dry stretches, a solid spark arrestor cap and a yearly look at the masonry aren't things to put off.
