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 starts with a camera inspection, because the city’s early-1900s Craftsman and Spanish Colonial bungalows often have original brick or clay-tile flues that were never relined. Cracked mortar crowns, missing flue tiles, and deteriorated mortar joints show up on a majority of the older homes we inspect east of Garey Avenue and north of Holt. Corona Chimney Sweep has served Pomona since 2018 with a full repair shop, not a sweep-and-refer model. Call (855) 382-6159 when you want the problem found and fixed by the same crew.
Why Pomona Homes Are Different
Pomona sits in the Pomona Valley at the foot of the San Gabriel Mountains, and the climate does specific things to chimneys here. Dry Santa Ana winds and long hot summers crack masonry crowns. The heat drives creosote deposits in wood-burning flues to a hard, glazed stage that basic brushing will not remove. Then the mild winters mean many fireplaces sit unused for months at a stretch, which gives birds, leaf litter, and roof rats time to move into uncapped flues.
Most of the housing stock dates between 1900 and the 1950s: single-story wood-frame bungalows and Spanish Revival homes with masonry chimneys that have been patched, parged, or sealed over the decades rather than properly relined. The east and south sides of Pomona add 1960s and 70s tract homes where prefab metal fireboxes are now reaching the end of their service life. Technicians working the 91766 and 91767 ZIP codes routinely find chimney swifts and roof rats nesting in uncapped flues during the dry season. The first Santa Ana wind event of fall is when calls spike for downdrafts and soot blowing back into living rooms.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Pomona Services
Most Pomona homeowners call us for one of two reasons: a chimney that has not been cleaned in years, or a dryer vent that is clogged and running hot. Both are fire-prevention jobs, and both are handled by the same technicians trained in combustion venting.
Chimney Sweep in Pomona
A sweep in Pomona is rarely just a sweep. On older homes, we remove the creosote and debris, then camera the flue to check for cracked clay tiles, deteriorated mortar joints, or damage from past chimney fires. Homes in the 91766 and 91767 ZIP codes often have nests in the flue during the dry season. You get a written report and photo evidence of anything we find before any repair is recommended. See Chimney Sweep in Pomona for full pricing and what to expect on the day of service.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Pomona
A clogged dryer vent is a fire waiting to happen. Lint accumulates faster in Pomona homes where dryers run against exterior walls that vent into tight side yards, which is common on the 1900 – 1950s bungalow lots. We clean the full duct run from dryer to exterior termination, check for crushed or separated sections, and confirm proper airflow before we leave. See Dryer Vent Cleaning in Pomona for signs your vent is plugged and what the job costs.

Chimney Repair in Pomona
Chimney repair in Pomona is inspection-first because so many of the city’s pre-1950 chimneys have never been relined. We repair what we find, in-house, using materials from the same professional-grade brands stocked in contractor supply houses. Our Chimney Repair scope covers liner work, masonry, caps, dampers, and flashing, which means the crew that diagnoses the problem is the crew that fixes it. No handoff to a third party, no limbo between the finding and the fix.
Chimney Cap Installation
Signs you need it
You hear birds or animals inside the chimney, see debris falling into the firebox, or get water stains on the ceiling near the flue after rain.
What it costs in Pomona
Expect $250 – $550 for a stainless steel cap installed on a standard masonry flue in Pomona, with custom sizes at the upper end.
How we do it
We measure the flue opening, select a stainless cap with the right mesh size to keep out swifts and rats, then secure it to the crown with a weatherproof mount.
Chimney Liner Installation
Signs you need it
A camera inspection shows missing clay tiles, gaps in the flue wall, or a rusted-out metal liner, which means combustion gases are not properly contained.
What it costs in Pomona
Chimney liner installation in Pomona typically runs $2,000 – $4,000 depending on flue length, access, and whether appliance connectors must be added.
How we do it
We run a DuraFlex stainless flexible liner through the existing flue, insulate where the code path requires it, and connect the appliance with a proper top plate and cap.
What Chimney Repair Costs in Pomona
| Item | Typical range in Pomona |
|---|---|
| Chimney cap installation | $250 – $550 |
| Chimney crown repair | $350 – $750 |
| Chimney liner installation | $2,000 – $4,000 |
Older two-story homes with steep rooflines push toward the upper end of each range. We set the price before work starts, and you see the camera evidence that justifies every repair before we touch a mortar mix or a liner.
Do I really need a new liner, or can the old one be patched?
That depends on what the camera finds. Hairline cracks and deteriorated mortar joints in a clay-tile flue can sometimes be restored with HeatShield resurfacing rather than a full liner replacement. Call (855) 382-6159 and we will show you the images before recommending anything.
Can a cracked chimney crown really cause damage in Pomona’s dry climate?
Yes. Even without heavy rain, Santa Ana winds push fine moisture and debris into crown cracks, and the annual heat-and-cool cycle widens them. A cracked crown lets water reach the firebox and smoke chamber, which accelerates masonry deterioration year over year.
Brands We Service in Pomona
We install and service materials from six vetted professional brands: DuraFlex, HeatShield, Gelco, Olympia Chimney, Famco, and Copperfield. We keep common cap sizes and connector parts stocked for Pomona jobs, which means most repairs start the same visit. See our brands for the full product lines.
