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 means one of two things: a 1950s ranch fireplace with a rusted metal heatilator box that was never meant to last 70 years, or a clay-tile flue that’s cracked from decades of San Gabriel Valley heat cycles. We’re Chimney Sweep Jurupa Valley, serving Pomona since 2015, and we handle both – plus the cleaning and dryer vent work that keeps those systems from turning into bigger problems. Call (866) 285-4905 when you need someone who can actually explain what’s happening inside your flue.
Why Pomona Homes Are Different
Pomona’s housing stock runs from 1920s Craftsman bungalows near downtown to post-WWII ranch tracts on the east side and 1960s stucco houses south of Holt. Most of those original fireplaces were built with single-tile clay flues or no liner at all, and that matters now because those homes are 50 to 100 years old. A clay tile that cracked during a 1980s heat wave has been sitting there ever since, and nobody notices until a new owner reopens a fireplace that was sealed during the energy crisis.
The other thing Pomona throws at chimneys is wind. Santa Ana events push dust, leaf litter, and palm fronds straight into caps and flues. In the foothill-adjacent streets, we regularly pull whole palm-frond skirts and pigeon nests out of chimney caps after a wind event. That’s a different job than a coastal sweep ever sees, and it often means cap repair or animal-guard installation rather than just brushing.

Our Main Pomona Services
Most Pomona homeowners call us for one of two reasons: the fireplace hasn’t been cleaned in years and they want it done right, or the dryer is taking forever and they’ve heard that’s a fire hazard. Both are handled by the same trained team.
Chimney Sweep in Pomona
A proper sweep in Pomona starts with checking what’s actually in the flue, because light seasonal use means creosote glaze and animal nests can sit unnoticed for years rather than burning off. We scope what we can’t see and clean what needs cleaning, then tell you plainly whether anything else needs attention. For the full breakdown on what a sweep involves in Pomona, see our Chimney Sweep in Pomona page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Pomona
Dryer vents in Pomona collect the same wind-driven dust and lint that ends up in chimneys, and a clogged vent is a fire hazard that gets ignored because it’s behind the dryer. We clean the full vent run and can replace damaged sections with Famco venting components rather than telling you to call someone else. Learn more on our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Pomona page.
Chimney Repair in Pomona
Chimney repair in Pomona tends to fall into two categories: fireplaces in 91766 through 91768 that were sealed or converted decades ago and are now being reopened with hidden flue damage, and foothill-edge homes where Santa Ana winds have wrecked caps, crowns, and flashing. Many 1950s ranch fireplaces in 91767 were originally built with a heatilator metal box that rusts out over time, and that has to be scoped before anyone starts sweeping. When repair means relining or crown work, we use Chimney Repair systems and materials from Copperfield and Olympia Chimney so you know exactly what’s going into your home.
Chimney Cap Installation
Signs you need it
You hear birds or animals in the chimney, see debris falling into the fireplace, or notice water stains around the hearth after rain.
What it costs in Pomona
Chimney cap installation in Pomona typically runs $180 to $340 depending on the cap size and whether a custom animal guard is needed.
How we do it
We measure the flue opening, select a stainless or copper cap from Copperfield stock, and secure it with a mechanical fastener system so it survives Santa Ana gusts.
Chimney Liner Installation
Signs you need it
Your chimney has no liner, the clay tiles are visibly cracked, or an inspection shows gaps between tile sections that let heat and gases reach the framing.
What it costs in Pomona
Chimney liner installation in Pomona typically costs $2,500 to $5,000 for a full reline depending on flue length and whether a firebox scope finds additional damage.
How we do it
We scope the flue to measure the exact dimensions, then run a DuraFlex flexible liner system sized for your fireplace or insert and secure it top and bottom.
Chimney Flashing Repair
Signs you need it
You see water stains on the ceiling near the chimney, damp drywall in the attic, or the flashing has pulled away from the roofline.
What it costs in Pomona
Chimney flashing repair in Pomona typically runs $250 to $600 for resealing, or $600 to $1,500 if the flashing is rusted through and needs replacement.
How we do it
We remove the old flashing, inspect the roof deck for rot, install new step and counter flashing, and seal with a polyurethane caulk rated for San Gabriel Valley sun exposure.
Chimney Crown Repair
Signs you need it
The concrete crown on top of the chimney is cracked, spalling, or has chunks missing, letting water soak into the masonry below it.
What it costs in Pomona
Chimney crown repair in Pomona typically costs $500 to $1,200 to resurface, or $1,200 to $2,500 if the crown has to be rebuilt from a concrete form.
How we do it
We grind out the cracked material, build a proper crown form with a drip edge, and pour a new crown that sheds water away from the flue tiles.
What Chimney Repair Costs in Pomona
| Item | Typical range in Pomona |
|---|---|
| Chimney cap installation | $180 – $340 |
| Chimney flashing repair | $250 – $1,500 |
| Chimney liner installation | $2,500 – $5,000 |
Those are the figures we quote on the phone, and what pushes them up in Pomona is usually access – a two-story roofline, a chimney on a steep pitch, or a flue that’s been damaged beyond what a scope showed from the top.
Do I really need a new chimney liner?
If your flue has cracked clay tiles, gaps between sections, or no liner at all, the answer is usually yes. Heat and combustion gases can reach the framing, and that’s a fire risk no amount of sweeping fixes. We only recommend a liner when we can show you the camera footage.
How often should a Pomona fireplace be repaired vs. just swept?
A sweep is annual maintenance; repair is what happens when inspection turns up damage. In Pomona’s older homes, a fireplace that hasn’t been opened in 20 years usually needs both. Call (866) 285-4905 for an exact quote – estimates are free.
