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 Long Beach, CA
Chimney repair is the service Long Beach homeowners need most, and it’s usually urgent once it’s found. The salt air that rolls in off the Pacific eats mortar crowns and flashing at a pace inland cities never see, and the 1920s-1950s bungalows that define neighborhoods like Belmont Heights and Rose Park were built with unlined brick or clay-tile flues that were never meant to handle decades of marine moisture. Corona Chimney Sweep has served Long Beach since 2018, and we repair what we find. Call (855) 382-6159 when you need a chimney company in Long Beach that handles repair in-house, not by referral.
Why Long Beach Homes Are Different
A chimney in Long Beach rarely works hard as a heat source. Most fireplaces in this city are ambiance pieces, lit a handful of times each winter when the evening marine layer rolls in. That changes the job entirely. Instead of heavy creosote removal, the dominant work is salt-air corrosion, spalling brick face from marine moisture, and flues packed with palm-frond debris and bird nests in fireplaces that have sat unused for years.
The housing stock drives this too. Long Beach is dense with Spanish Revivals, Craftsman bungalows, and California cottages built between 1920 and 1955, especially in 90802, 90803, and 90804. Those homes often have original unlined brick chimneys with clay-tile flues, decorative hearths that were sealed off decades ago, and mortar crowns that the salty ocean air has reduced to sand. Two to five miles inland is where most of the damage concentrates, and the dry Santa Ana wind events push debris and downdrafts through uncapped flues all through the fall. A Long Beach chimney company sees far more re-crowning and cap work than heavy creosote removal.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Long Beach Services
The two services Long Beach homeowners call about most are chimney sweeping and dryer vent cleaning, and each has its own dedicated page with full pricing and process detail.
Chimney Sweep in Long Beach
A full sweep in Long Beach includes removing soot, creosote, and whatever has nested in the flue since the last fire, then inspecting the liner, crown, and cap for the salt-corrosion damage common in 90803 and 90804. We also check the smoke chamber, where mortar joints weaken from years of humid marine air. Read more about what a sweep covers and what it costs on our Chimney Sweep in Long Beach page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Long Beach
A clogged dryer vent is a fire waiting to happen, and Long Beach’s older homes often route dryer exhaust through long, awkward runs that were never cleaned when the house changed hands. We treat dryer vent cleaning as a fire-prevention service on equal footing with chimney work, using the same technicians trained in combustion venting. See full pricing and process details on our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Long Beach page.

Chimney Repair in Long Beach
Most Long Beach chimney repair calls start with a sweep that reveals something worse. In the 1920s-1950s housing stock of Naples, Bluff Park, and the Craftsman blocks around 90803, the original mortar crowns have often crumbled from decades of marine salt air, flashing has corroded at the roofline, and unlined flues have cracked internally. Corona Chimney Sweep heals the full range of Chimney Repair work in-house, and we use the same professional-grade product lines stocked in contractor supply houses, including HeatShield for flue resurfacing and DuraFlex stainless flexible liners for retrofit applications.
Chimney Cap Installation
Signs you need it
You hear birds in the flue, find nests or palm leaves at the fireplace base, or get downdraft smoke during Santa Ana winds.
What it costs in Long Beach
Chimney cap installation in Long Beach typically runs $205 to $450 depending on cap size and flue access, with multi-flue caps on 1920s bungalow stacks landing at the higher end.
How we do it
We measure the flue tile, match the cap material to the marine environment, secure it to the crown, and test the draft to confirm no restriction.
Chimney Crown Repair
Signs you need it
The mortar top is cracked, sandy, or missing in chunks, and water is streaking down the brick face after rain.
What it costs in Long Beach
Chimney crown repair in Long Beach typically costs $205 to $500, with full re-crowning on heavily eroded ocean-air crowns reaching the top of that range.
How we do it
We remove the degraded mortar, recast the crown with a proper overhang to shed water, and seal it with a marine-grade crown coat.
Chimney Flashing Repair
Signs you need it
You have water stains on the ceiling near the chimney, rusted flashing, or damp drywall in the attic when it rains.
What it costs in Long Beach
Chimney flashing repair in Long Beach typically runs $305 to $605, with step-flashing replacement on complex Spanish Revival roof-to-chimney junctions on the higher side.
How we do it
We inspect the roof line, remove the corroded flashing, install new step and counter flashing in stainless or aluminum, and seal every seam.
Chimney Liner Installation
Signs you need it
The flue has cracked clay tiles, missing mortar joints, or the chimney is unlined and you want to burn wood or convert to gas.
What it costs in Long Beach
Chimney liner installation in Long Beach typically costs $850 to $4,700 depending on liner type, length, and access, with DuraFlex stainless flexible liners running $850 to $3,200 installed.
How we do it
We size the liner to the appliance and fuel type, drop a DuraFlex stainless flexible liner for code-compliant venting, insulate where required, and connect it properly at top and base.

"Good work. The written inspection report took about a week to arrive after I asked for it, which was slower than I expected."
— Raj Patel"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
