Learn MoreWhat we tell Thousand Oaks parents
Oaks protected by city ordinance frame the stucco tracts that make up most of Thousand Oaks, built from the 1960s to the 1990s. A brick postwar chimney and a later metal flue both can hide trouble, and those branches are not doing the cap any favors. South-side hills burned in the 2018 Woolsey Fire, and Northridge damaged homes and chimneys across the valley. Ocean air takes the edge off summer, but cold nights still cycle the mortar a little.
Check at Home
Oak leaves collect around the chimney, so clear them from the roof before fall, and do not let them pile up by the base.
Kids and Pets
Acorns and oak twigs make tempting kindling for kids, so keep them out of the fireplace and any basket next to it.
What We Look At First
Northridge cracks in older chimneys, then the cap and mesh below the oaks.
Next Door
We also take calls from Malibu, Westlake Village, Camarillo.
