Chimney Sweep in Pasadena, CA

What an inspector checks during chimney sweep 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.

Santa Ana winds come down off the San Gabriels and can carry embers across town. A cap with an intact spark arrestor keeps your own fire from adding to that risk. Winter rain follows the dry months, so a cracked crown or loose flashing is best found before the first storm. On no-burn days set by the South Coast AQMD, wood fires are off limits, and a vented gas log set is one way to keep using the fireplace on those nights.
