Learn MoreWhat we tell Woodland Hills parents
Woodland Hills is where Family Home Chimney Experts is based, and a lot of the houses here were bought for the yard and the family room. That family room usually has the fireplace in it, which means toddlers walking past the hearth, dogs napping on it, and a fire most cold weekends. We check the screen and the hearth edge with that in mind. This is one of the hottest corners of Los Angeles County: the Pierce College station read 121 degrees on September 6, 2020. Summer heat dries out mortar and bakes the crown, and the canyon edge to the south brings Santa Ana embers in the fall. We look at the crown and the spark arrestor before the first cold night.
Check at Home
Once a month in winter, close the screen and look for a gap at the bottom or the sides. Press the test button on the carbon monoxide alarm. Make sure the damper handle moves and stays where you leave it.
Kids and Pets
A raised brick hearth is a toddler's favorite step and a dog's warm bed. We point out how far the heat reaches and where a hearth gate or a cushion guard would help.
What We Look At First
The crown and mortar after a hot summer, then the spark arrestor on homes near the canyon edge, then the screen and hearth.
Next Door
We also take calls from Warner Center, West Hills, Calabasas.
