Chimney Fire and Quake Repair in Brentwood, CA
Brentwood homes often carry two or three chimneys, and outdoor fireplaces are common too. The Palisades fire in January 2025 burned in the mountains just west, and ash and smoke settled across the area for days. After that kind of event we check every flue on the property, not only the one in use. Canyon streets here sit close to dry brush, and Santa Ana winds can carry embers a long way. Caps with spark arrestor mesh and crowns without cracks are the first line of defense for each chimney.
