Chimney sweep logs do not sweep chimneys. They loosen some creosote - which then falls where a brush and vacuum still have to collect it.
Chimney Company in Pomona, CA
Chimney repair in Pomona usually starts with a call about smoke backing into the living room, but the actual fix often goes deeper than a sweep. Homes here, especially the pre-1950 Craftsman bungalows around Lincoln Park and Wilton Heights, have masonry fireplaces and clay tile flues that have shifted with decades of seismic settling and Santa Ana wind stress. We come out, run a camera through the flue, and show you exactly what’s failing before any work is quoted. Call (833) 467-6493 when your fireplace stops drafting the way it should.
Why Pomona Homes Are Different
Pomona’s housing stock skews older than most of the San Gabriel Valley. The early-1900s Craftsman and Spanish Colonial Revival homes in Lincoln Park and Wilton Heights were built with original brick fireplaces and clay tile liners that have spent 70 to 100 years absorbing heat, cold, moisture, and earthquake movement. Mortar joints crack. Tile liners spall, leaving gaps where heat and carbon monoxide can reach combustible framing. Missing mortar crowns let rainwater soak into the brick, and when the next heat cycle hits, the trapped moisture expands and fractures the structure further.
Santa Ana winds add another layer. Near the Fairplex and surrounding neighborhoods, we find chimney caps pried loose or knocked off entirely, which invites birds and squirrels to nest in the flue. The first cold night of fall brings a wave of calls about smoky fireplaces and downdrafts because a dormant chimney spent the summer collecting nests and debris. Repair work here also has to respect that many 1930s-era structures predate modern seismic codes, so any crown or flashing repair must avoid disturbing the overall chimney geometry. Pomona chimney work is less about routine soot removal and more about diagnosing structural degradation before the first winter fire.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Pomona Services
Most Pomona homeowners reach out about one of two things: a fireplace that hasn’t been cleaned in years, or a dryer vent that’s quietly building a fire hazard. Both are covered below.
Chimney Sweep in Pomona
A standard sweep in Pomona removes creosote, soot, and debris from the flue, but the older homes here often need more than a brush. Clay tile liners in pre-1950 chimneys frequently have cracked sections that a routine sweep can aggravate, so we inspect first, then clean. If you’re seeing smoke roll back into the room or smell a campfire odor on humid days, the flue likely has a blockage or creosote buildup. We document everything with photos so you’re not guessing. Full details on Chimney Sweep in Pomona.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Pomona
Dryer vents in Pomona’s post-war tract homes are often long, narrow, and routed through attics or crawl spaces, which means lint accumulates faster than homeowners expect. The industry-recognized risk is clear: lint blockages are a leading cause of dryer fires. If your drying cycles are running longer or the laundry room feels humid after a load, the vent needs attention. We clean the full run and check that the termination is intact.

Chimney Repair in Pomona
Chimney repair in Pomona is a different job than in newer suburbs. The clay tile liners and brick masonry in pre-1950 homes have weathered decades of temperature swings, and when a liner cracks or a crown fails, the fireplace isn’t just inefficient, it’s venting heat and gases where they don’t belong. A camera inspection tells us whether the fix is a localized repair or a full relining. Our Chimney Repair work covers everything from cap replacement to structural crown rebuilds, always specified with materials we can name and stand behind.
Chimney Cap Installation
Signs you need it
Birds, squirrels, or debris in the firebox, rain streaking down the flue tiles, or a cap that’s missing entirely after a Santa Ana wind event.
What it costs in Pomona
Chimney cap installation in Pomona typically runs $225 to $625 depending on flue size and cap material.
How we do it
We measure the flue opening, select a stainless-steel cap matched to the tile or liner dimensions, and anchor it securely against wind uplift.
Chimney Liner Installation
Signs you need it
Cracked or spalled clay tiles seen during a camera inspection, or creosote staining on interior walls near the chimney.
What it costs in Pomona
Chimney liner installation in Pomona typically runs $1,950 to $4,800 depending on liner material and flue length.
How we do it
We size the liner to the appliance and flue dimensions, install it in one continuous run where possible, and verify the connection from appliance to termination.
Chimney Flashing Repair
Signs you need it
Water stains on the ceiling near the chimney, damp drywall after rain, or rusted metal flashing visible at the roof line.
What it costs in Pomona
Chimney flashing repair in Pomona typically runs $350 to $900 depending on access and the extent of the seal replacement.
How we do it
We lift the shingles around the chimney, remove and replace the compromised flashing, and seal the intersection with professional-grade materials.
Chimney Crown Repair
Signs you need it
Cracked or crumbling mortar on top of the chimney, spalling brick near the top course, or water pooling on the crown’s surface.
What it costs in Pomona
Chimney crown repair in Pomona typically runs $625 to $1,500 depending on the crown area and the severity of the cracking.
How we do it
We remove the deteriorated crown material, form a new crown with proper overhang and drip edge, and cure it to shed water away from the chimney.
What Chimney Repair Costs in Pomona
| Item | Typical range in Pomona |
|---|---|
| Chimney cap installation | $225 – $625 |
| Chimney liner installation | $1,950 – $4,800 |
| Chimney flashing repair | $350 – $900 |
How do you know if a chimney liner is actually bad?
A camera inspection is the only way to confirm liner damage. We run a probe through the flue and show you the cracked tiles, gaps, or spalling on screen, so the recommendation is backed by evidence, not guesswork.
Can a cracked chimney crown wait until next year?
No. A cracked crown lets water into the masonry, and each heating season makes it worse. Delaying a $625 repair commonly turns into a $2,000-plus rebuild. Call (833) 467-6493 for an exact quote.

What Pomona Customers Say
"Creosote buildup was worse than I realized. He measured it, showed me the glazing on the flue with the camera, and was honest that we were closer to a chimney fire than I wanted to hear."
— Erin Doyle"Cap keeps the birds out now, which after two springs of scratching noises is worth every penny."
— Rafael Guzman"Swept it, capped it, and installed a proper damper. The downdraft smell in the summer that we'd lived with for years is gone."
— Carlos Morales
