From the coast to the inland valleys, the chimneys here were mostly built for a climate that never really tests them — and that is exactly why so many go unlooked-at for decades.
Riverside and San Bernardino counties contain two almost unrelated chimney markets: a hot valley floor where fireplaces are decorative, and mountain communities where they are the heating system.
The Bay Area has some of California's oldest surviving residential chimneys and mandatory winter no-burn days. Those two facts together produce a very particular maintenance problem.
The Valley burns more wood than the coast and runs a daily, tiered winter burn program because of it. Both facts change what your chimney needs.
