Learn MoreWhat we tell Sherman Oaks parents
In Sherman Oaks we see a lot of prefab fireplaces in houses that families have remodeled around. A new hearth or built-in shelving can crowd the clearances the fireplace was made with. We measure what sits near the opening, and the list tells you if a toy bin or a dog bed is too close. Valley summer heat hits the chimney crown hardest, and that is where cracks start. Up in the hills the chimney stands taller and catches more wind. We look at both before winter, when the fire gets lit and the kids are home for the holidays.
Check at Home
Keep toys, dog beds and holiday decorations well back from the opening while a fire is burning. Look at the mantel after a fire: if it is too hot to keep a hand on, call us.
Kids and Pets
Stockings, garland and candles on the mantel are a winter habit. We point out how close is too close and what should come down before a fire is lit.
What We Look At First
Clearances around remodeled fireplaces, then the crown on hillside chimneys that take the most wind.
Next Door
We also take calls from Encino, Studio City, Van Nuys.
