Learn MoreWhat we look after in Lancaster
Lancaster grew mostly after 1980, and factory-built units are far more likely here than brick. A metal flue is judged differently: firm joints, intact fire-stops, a cap still holding on. At about 42 miles from Silver Lake, we plan by appointment and check it all at once. At about 2,350 feet, the desert gets little rain and plenty of spring wind, which can loosen a cap. This is Antelope Valley AQMD territory, so South Coast no-burn days are not the rule here, and the San Andreas is not far south.
The Houses
Around Lancaster the stock runs to 1980s and later stucco tract houses under tile roofs, most with factory-built fireplaces and metal flues.
Before the First Fire
Spring wind can twist a cap on a metal flue, so have it refastened and the joints checked before cold nights arrive.
Care of the Room
Grit blows in easily here, so we close the door behind us and cover the floor from the entry onward.
Close By
Lancaster stops sometimes fall alongside Palmdale, Lake Los Angeles, Quartz Hill.
Not Sure What It Needs?

A smell after rain, smoke that rolls into the room, or a fireplace nobody has used since you moved in. Describe it on the phone and we will tell you whether a sweep, an inspection or both makes sense.
