Chimney inspection explained for New Malibu homeowners
Here is how our local team works through a chimney inspection at your New Malibu home.
When a sweep is part of the plan
An inspection tells you the condition of the system, and a sweep removes deposits from it. Heavy buildup can hide the lining, so sometimes the right order is to sweep first and finish the inspection after. If that applies to your New Malibu chimney, we explain why before any cleaning starts and put the sweep on the estimate as its own item. You never pay for a cleaning you did not agree to. The same applies when a blockage keeps us from seeing the flue, such as a nest or a pile of debris on the shelf.
Switching a wood fireplace to another fuel
Converting a wood-burning fireplace to gas or electric changes what the chimney has to do. A gas appliance may need a different vent or liner, and an electric unit may need the flue sealed and capped. When you plan a switch at your New Malibu home, the inspection comes first. We check the firebox, flue and top, then tell you what the chosen appliance requires before you order anything. Some conversions also call for a new cap or a change to the damper, depending on the appliance's instructions.
A second look at another company's quote
If another contractor has quoted a large repair, such as a rebuild or a new liner, a second inspection is a reasonable step. Share the quote and the reason it gave. We inspect the chimney at your New Malibu home independently, explain whether we see the same problem and give our own written estimate. Sometimes we agree, sometimes a smaller repair covers it, and either way you get a clear explanation. We never assume the other company is wrong, and any difference in our view is explained in plain terms.

Before your chimney inspection in New Malibu
If your question is not here, our New Malibu team is a phone call away.
Should I clean out the firebox before you arrive?
Please leave it as it is. Fallen debris, flakes and ash patterns tell us about the chimney above. Just make sure the fireplace is completely cold and the area in front of it is clear.
What if part of the chimney cannot be seen?
We tell you exactly which areas stayed out of view and why. An unseen area is an open question rather than proof of a problem, and the estimate explains what extra access would answer it if the answer matters.
