Newhall has some of the oldest homes in the Santa Clarita Valley. Many of these homes were built long before Santa Clarita became a city. Because of this, many Newhall homes have older masonry chimneys, older fireplaces, and older brick construction that may no longer be safe.

Older chimneys in Newhall often have cracked mortar, loose bricks, damaged chimney liners, and years of creosote buildup. Some of these homes may still have their original chimney system, which may not meet current safety standards. Earthquakes, water damage, and age can also cause older chimneys to become weak or unsafe.

The Chimney Experts provides complete chimney inspections in Newhall to help homeowners understand the condition of their chimney. We often recommend a Level 2 inspection before buying or selling an older home. A camera inspection can help find hidden damage inside the flue that cannot be seen from the outside.

A chimney sweep is also very important in Newhall homes. Many older fireplaces have not been cleaned in years. Creosote, soot, bird nests, and debris can build up inside the chimney and create a serious fire hazard. Cleaning the chimney before using the fireplace helps protect the home and family.

Because many Newhall homes have older masonry chimneys, chimney repair is common. We repair loose bricks, cracked mortar, damaged fireboxes, leaking chimneys, and broken chimney caps. In some homes, the damage is too severe to repair and a full or partial chimney rebuild may be needed.

The Chimney Experts are skilled masonry craftsmen who can rebuild older chimneys so they are strong, safe, and match the style of the home. We can also build custom fireplaces, retaining walls, patios, outdoor kitchens, and fire pits to improve older Newhall homes while keeping their original character.
