Getting the flue right in Malibu Groves chimneys
Our team in Malibu Groves walks every homeowner through points like these.
The yearly check NFPA 211 calls for
NFPA 211, the national standard for chimneys, fireplaces, vents and solid fuel-burning appliances, calls for a yearly inspection of each chimney, fireplace and vent to confirm it is sound, not clogged with deposits and at correct clearances, with cleaning, upkeep or repair if the inspection shows a need.
A yearly look is how flue damage tends to get caught early, while a repair is still small. If your chimney has gone longer than that, our free inspection is a good place to start, and it tells you whether the flue needs anything at all.
Protecting the room during flue work
Flue repair creates dust and loose debris that falls toward the fireplace. The room below needs protecting, and the fireplace opening is sealed while the work goes on.
We lay protection over the hearth and nearby floors, seal the opening and clean up before leaving. If you have furniture or rugs near the fireplace, we ask before moving anything. Air can also pull fine dust into the room while work goes on above, so the opening is sealed on all sides, not just covered. We check the room again before leaving and remove every sheet we put down.
What should never go into the fireplace
The EPA's Burn Wise program lists household trash, including cardboard, plastics, foam and colored inks, along with coated, painted or pressure-treated wood, among the things never to burn. Garbage smoke can also leave stubborn deposits inside a flue.
Paper and cardboard also flare quickly and can send burning pieces up the chimney. After a flue repair, stick to dry firewood and a starter made for fireplaces, and give the new work an easy first season. Glossy magazines and wrapping paper belong in the recycling bin, not the firebox.
Product terms and our workmanship warranty
Some repair products come with their maker's own terms, which depend on the product being installed as instructed. Those terms are separate from our own promise about the work.
Our workmanship warranty covers the repair we perform, and our 100% satisfaction guarantee applies to every job. We explain what each covers and keep the product details with your record. If a product fails because it was installed wrong, that is on us. If it fails because the product itself did not perform, we help you work through the maker's terms with the installation record in hand.

Before your flue repair in Malibu Groves
Questions we hear on flue visits in Malibu Groves, answered plainly.
Where are the fragments in my fireplace coming from?
Flat, hard clay pieces usually come from the flue tiles. Mortar crumbs, rust flakes and creosote point elsewhere. Keep a piece and show it to us, and we will find the source.
What if the problem is the smoke chamber or damper instead?
Then we tell you, and that repair is priced on its own. You do not pay for flue work the chimney does not need.
