Chimney Sweep Services in Pasadena and the San Gabriel Valley
Fyreline Chimney Sweep works throughout Pasadena and the San Gabriel Valley. Whether it is time for a routine sweep, a full inspection, or catching up after years without one, our techs know the area and show up when they say they will.

the City of Los Angeles and its many neighborhoods
Los Angeles
Los Angeles covers everything from dense urban blocks to canyon-edge hillsides, and that range shapes how much ember exposure a given chimney faces. A home backed up against open hillside needs a different level of spark readiness than one in a flat, built-out neighborhood.
Alhambra, in the western San Gabriel Valley
Alhambra
A lot of Alhambra's older homes, some dating back to the 1920s, still carry the original brick chimney, and those stacks have absorbed decades of ground shifting that can open small gaps around the flue. We check that a cap's spark arrestor mesh is still intact on every one of these older systems, since a gap that lets water in can just as easily let embers through.
Altadena, pressed up against the mountains just north of Pasadena
Altadena
Altadena is unincorporated, and its stock of early 1900s Craftsman homes still carries a lot of original brick chimneys. Since the Eaton Fire came through in January 2025, we're seeing more requests for a full structural look before rebuild permits move forward, on top of the standard cap and mesh check.
Arcadia, stretching from the foothills down toward the middle of the valley
Arcadia
On an Arcadia street you can find an original 1950s ranch house with its first brick chimney next door to a brand new build with a factory-made firebox. We treat those as two different jobs, and our inspection notes spell out which system you have so the next buyer or insurer is not guessing.
El Monte, on the flat valley floor between the Rio Hondo and the San Gabriel River
El Monte
Plenty of El Monte homes have been added onto over the years, and a new room or a raised roofline can leave an older chimney shorter than it should be or tucked too close to the new wall. We measure clearances on the roof, not just inside the firebox, and tell you plainly if the stack needs work before you light it.
Glendale and the Verdugo Mountains area
Glendale
Glendale's hillside neighborhoods near the Verdugo Mountains sit close enough to open brush that ember exposure is a real factor during fire season, on top of the early 20th-century bungalows and Spanish Colonial homes with original masonry stacks. Older caps on these homes were rarely built with today's spark arrestor standards in mind.
Highland Park, along the Arroyo Seco in Northeast Los Angeles
Highland Park
A large part of Highland Park falls inside a Historic Preservation Overlay Zone, so exterior changes you can see from the street may need sign-off before work starts. We photograph the stack from the firebox to the cap first, then show you which repairs keep the original brick look and which ones would change it.
La Canada Flintridge, above the Crescenta Valley floor
La Canada Flintridge
Steep lots here mean a lot of chimneys run taller than average, and reaching the cap safely for a spark arrestor check usually calls for scaffolding instead of a ladder. That extra step matters, since a screen that's sagged or rusted through on a tall stack is easy to miss from the ground.
Monrovia, the foothill town east of Arcadia with a walkable Old Town
Monrovia
Monrovia has some of the oldest houses in this part of the valley, and many still burn wood through a chimney nobody has opened up in years. We start with a camera look down the flue so you can see the liner condition for yourself before anyone talks about repairs.
Montrose, the shopping district at the center of the Crescenta Valley
Montrose
Montrose's homes, built largely from the 1920s through the 1960s around its small shopping park, run a mix of original masonry chimneys and older prefabricated fireplace units, and each needs its spark arrestor mesh checked on its own schedule since the two systems wear differently.
Pasadena and the San Gabriel Valley
Pasadena
Pasadena's 1920s through 1950s homes often carry unreinforced masonry chimneys, and the same seismic vulnerability that concerns an inspector also means small mortar gaps can go unnoticed until fire season turns them into an ember entry point. Neighborhoods along the northern edge of the city, closest to the foothills, warrant the closest look at cap and crown condition.
San Marino, roughly at the center of the San Gabriel Valley
San Marino
A lot of San Marino's elaborate masonry fireplaces date to between 1920 and 1960, and the cap and spark arrestor mesh on these older systems often haven't been updated to match current standards. We check that ember protection carefully on every visit, since a historic surround can look flawless while the screen underneath has worn thin.
Sierra Madre, the small village tucked directly below the mountains
Sierra Madre
Many Sierra Madre homes are close to a hundred years old, and their brick chimneys went up long before anyone required steel reinforcement. Narrow canyon streets and big trees overhead also mean leaves and needles pile up around the crown, so we clear that debris and check the cap fit while we are up there.
Temple City, a quiet residential city south of Arcadia
Temple City
A lot of Temple City ranch homes have a fireplace the family uses a few times a winter, which means soot and nesting debris can sit in the flue for years without anyone noticing. A routine sweep and a written report keep that small job from turning into a smoky living room on the first cold night.
