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 Artesia, CA
Chimney repair in Artesia usually means working on original 1950s and 60s brick masonry fireplaces that have never had their clay-tile flue liners replaced. Corona Chimney Sweep has served Artesia since 2018, and we repair what we find, from cracked mortar crowns to deteriorated flue tiles, without handing the job off to another company. Call (855) 382-6159 for a repair diagnosis or a full sweep before the next cold snap.
Why Artesia Homes Are Different
Artesia’s housing stock is mostly mid-century single-story ranch and tract homes built between the 1950s and early 1970s. The original brick fireplaces on these properties typically vent through clay-tile flue liners that are now 50 to 70 years old. Those tiles crack. Mortar joints between them erode. And because Artesia sits in the LA Basin’s mild, dry climate, fireplaces get lit only a handful of times each year, so creosote accumulates slowly but inspections happen almost never. A chimney that has not been opened in five years is the norm here, not the exception.
The city’s compact footprint matters for how we work. Homes along Pioneer Boulevard and the surrounding residential grid sit on tight lots where side-yard access can be narrow, so ladder placement and equipment setup require planning. We are used to working around that. What we find inside the flue is usually a combination of decades-old creosote, cracked clay tiles, and a damper that was never updated. The first cold night after years of disuse is when Artesia homeowners discover backdrafting and smoke spill. Often it is the pre-sale inspection, not regular burning, that finally gets the chimney swept and repaired.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Artesia Services
Most Artesia homeowners call us for one of two reasons: a chimney that needs sweeping before burning season, or a dryer vent that has never been cleaned since the house was bought. Both are fire-prevention issues, and we handle both with the same technicians trained in combustion venting.
Chimney Sweep in Artesia
A chimney sweep in an Artesia ranch home means removing creosote that has sat for years, not just one season of buildup. We inspect the flue liner, damper, smoke shelf, and mortar crown during every sweep, and if we find cracked tiles or a deteriorated liner, we can repair it in-house. The mild winters here mean fireplaces sit idle most of the year, which is exactly why pre-burn inspections matter. Chimney Sweep in Artesia covers the full job.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Artesia
A clogged dryer vent is a fire waiting to happen, and in older Artesia homes the dryer vent often runs through a wall or crawlspace that has not been accessed in years. Lint builds up, airflow drops, and the dryer works harder while the vent gets hotter. We treat dryer vent cleaning as a fire-prevention service on equal footing with chimney work, not an afterthought. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Artesia explains what the service includes.

Chimney Repair in Artesia
Chimney repair in Artesia is usually about restoring original 1950s and 60s masonry systems on homes that have never had a liner upgrade. The mild climate means fireplaces get used rarely, so problems sit undiscovered until a pre-sale inspection or that first cold night when smoke spills back into the living room. We repair what we find, and the most common Artesia issues are cracked clay-tile flue liners, failed mortar crowns, rusted dampers, and missing or damaged chimney caps. Chimney Repair is a core service, not a referral.
Chimney Cap Installation
Signs you need it
Rain water streaking down the fireplace face, birds or rodents inside the flue, or a rusted, misshapen cap that no longer seats properly.
What it costs in Artesia
Chimney cap installation in Artesia typically runs $200 to $700 depending on cap material and flue size, with stainless steel at the upper end.
How we do it
We measure the flue opening, select a properly sized cap from Gelco or Olympia Chimney stock, and secure it to the crown with mechanical fasteners rated for exterior exposure.
Chimney Liner Installation
Signs you need it
Flue tiles that are cracked, spalling, or missing joints, visible smoke or gas odor in the home, or a failed chimney inspection flagging the liner as unsafe.
What it costs in Artesia
Chimney liner installation in Artesia generally falls between $2,500 and $7,000 depending on flue height, diameter, and whether a DuraFlex flexible liner or rigid system is used.
How we do it
We size the flue, run a DuraFlex stainless flexible liner through the existing chimney where conditions qualify, and connect it to a properly fitted top plate and cap.
Chimney Flashing Repair
Signs you need it
Water stains on ceilings near the chimney, damp drywall, or visible gaps and lifted flashing at the roof line where the chimney penetrates.
What it costs in Artesia
Chimney flashing repair in Artesia runs $300 to $900, with the higher end when the old flashing is so deteriorated it needs full replacement rather than resealing.
How we do it
We remove the old flashing, cut and bend new metal to fit the roof pitch, and seal the transition with high-temperature roofing mastic so water sheds correctly.
Chimney Crown Repair
Signs you need it
A cracked or crumbling mortar crown, water pooling on top of the chimney, or freeze-thaw spalling that has exposed the flue tile and mortar joints.
What it costs in Artesia
Chimney crown repair in Artesia typically costs $600 to $1,500, depending on whether the crown needs resurfacing or a full rebuild.
How we do it
We grind away the deteriorated mortar, build a proper crown with a drip edge and expansion gap, and resurface with a weather-rated crown coat.
What Chimney Repair Costs in Artesia
| Item | Typical range in Artesia |
|---|---|
| Chimney cap installation | $200 – $700 |
| Chimney liner installation | $2,500 – $7,000 |
| Chimney flashing repair | $300 – $900 |
How long does chimney repair take in Artesia?
Most chimney repairs on Artesia ranch homes are finished in a single visit, usually two to four hours. A full liner installation may run half a day or longer depending on flue height and access. We schedule before we arrive, not after.
Do Artesia homes need chimney repair if the fireplace is rarely used?
Yes, because the flue liner and mortar crown deteriorate from weather exposure even when the fireplace never gets lit. Rain, Santa Ana wind, and time all crack clay tiles. Rare use just means the damage goes unnoticed longer, which is why pre-sale inspections catch so much in Artesia.

What pushes a price up in Artesia is usually liner damage that was never addressed, tight side-yard access that slows ladder work, or a chimney that has gone so long without service that a simple sweep becomes a repair job. Every estimate we give is a flat price agreed before the work starts, and we do not recommend a liner or crown repair without showing you the camera evidence from inside the flue.

What Artesia Customers Say
"Cap keeps the birds out now, which after two springs of scratching noises is worth every penny."
— Megan Sullivan"Crown was cracked and taking water. Repaired it rather than quoting a rebuild, which the previous company had pushed hard for."
— Laura Gallagher"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."
— Daniela Martinez
