Chimney Service in Citrus Heights

Citrus Heights grew up fast through the 1960s and 1970s, and the tract neighborhoods built in that stretch share a very consistent fireplace design: a masonry firebox with a clay tile flue, a thin poured crown, and a damper that has usually seized at least partly open by now. We see the same handful of issues over and over in the 95610 and 95621 ZIPs. Thin crowns crack first, water gets into the top of the flue, and the damper rusts in place. Homeowners often discover it when a first cold-evening fire pushes smoke back into the living room. Because so many of these houses were built by the same handful of builders in the same few years, we can usually tell you what we expect to find before we are on the roof, which keeps inspections quick and estimates honest. We cover the full city from Sunrise Boulevard across to Antelope Road.

Dense 1960s-1970s tract housing with near-identical masonry fireplace designs. Thin poured crowns and seized dampers are the two most common findings. Sacramento County burn-day restrictions apply November through February.
