Chimney Safety for Altadena and the Foothill Towns
Why We Lead With Safety
EverSafe Chimney Sweep serves Altadena, Pasadena, La Canada Flintridge, Sierra Madre, Montrose, and Glendale. Our first job on any visit is a simple one: tell you whether the fireplace is safe to use.
The January 2025 Eaton Fire made that question urgent across Altadena. A chimney can survive a fire and still carry a cracked crown, a warped cap, or a damaged flue tile. None of that shows from the living room, so we inspect from the roof down and use a camera inside the flue.
Fire is only one hazard. A blocked or leaking flue can push carbon monoxide into a room, and poor draft sends smoke the wrong way. We test for both, and every result goes into a written condition report with photos that you keep.
What Guides an EverSafe Visit
Four rules shape every inspection, whether the fireplace burns wood or gas.
Hazards Come First
Every visit answers one question before any other: is this fireplace safe to use today? If it is not, we say so plainly and explain why.
Everything in Writing
Each inspection ends with a written condition report and photos, so you have a record you can keep, compare next year, or share with others.
Ember Protection at the Top
Foothill homes in Altadena and nearby towns face Santa Ana winds. We check every spark arrestor screen and cap for gaps, rust, and a secure fit.
Air You Can Trust
Draft tests on every inspection and carbon monoxide readings on gas units catch the hazards you cannot see or smell.
What the Written Report Covers
Each part below gets its own line in the report, marked sound, needs work, or unsafe to use.
